NEW “INVESTIGATION OFFICER” @ CPIB CALL KOPI LIM! LOL?!

0

A warm welcome to our newest officer of the CPIB! Reporting to work on Monday, 18 September 2017, Kopi Lim will bring you more insights into our anti-corruption work.

Wow I am excited! 4th day of work and here I am at the Compliance & Transparency Forum organised by the UK Government. They are talking about the newly set-up International Anti-Corruption Coordination Centre (IACCC) in London. I didn’t know CPIB is involved in an international centre and what’s more we are one of the founding members. Cool! Oh, one of my colleagues is at the IACCC in London right now, working to coordinate efforts with other countries to tackle global grand corruption.

Oh yes, I met Merli at the sidelines of the Forum and heard about her adventures in UK when she was there for a state visit. I will get my chance one day and call it #KopiGoesLondon. Meantime, better read up more about IACCC – www.cpib.gov.sg/…/cpib-and-international-authorities-launch…

NETIZEN FEEL HAVING A RESERVED ELECTION IS TO UNITE AND MEND THE RACIAL DISSENT AMONG THE RACES!

0

Back when Singapore gain independence and installs Yusof Ishak as the President, the sentiments were clear as LKY promotes Multi-Racial harmony amidst the racial tensions at that time…

Recently before the reserved elections, our community starts to voice out their dissatisfaction of not having a minority President notably a Malay president. Seeing that it may cause a racial disharmony taking into consideration that even though we are racially living together, the online community can be seen dissing at minorities with various reports of workplace discrimination and so on and so forth.

Last year or so we have seen proven reports that if it was to be an open election, the specific race will vote for their particular race no matter what the caliber or contributions of a candidate of another race. My take on this is that having a reserved election for a specific race took place because we have not seen a Malay president for a long time and its time that we see a change towards uniting and mending the racial dissent. I may be wrong but touch our hearts and ask ourselves. We just have to look at the comments sections and we can see what I mean.

On the walkover, potential candidates has been given guidelines and requirements and it was strictly followed. Clearly those criterias has been written out. Ample time is given for potential candidates to come forward and apply and only 1 was deemed eligible and it resulted in a walkover.

In summary, no matter what the outcome is, it can never please everyone. As for the big picture what is important is we maintain a racial harmony country that is open and look beyond racial to decide if a person is capable and credible or not as a President. In me writting this I took my shoes off as a malay and as an open person.

(APPEAL FOR DONATION) SECURITY GUARD HEART ATTACK! SGH ICU SLOT NOT AVAILABLE HAS TO GO TO PRIVATE HOSPITAL

0

Our family’s world came down crashing on Wednesday 13th September when we heard about my brother Thomas collapsing while on duty due to a heart attack. At 9:20 pm on Wednesday, Thomas was on his usual patrol when he felt breathless. He approached his friends who took him to A&E and soon after he collapsed from heart attack. Thomas has been in ICU and on the ventilator since Wednesday.

Thomas is a 55 year old Singaporean who works as a security officer at Gleneagles Hospital. He is described as friendly, pleasant and simple by everyone who knows him. A few years back he was even awarded the most gracious staff award at the hospital for his friendly demeanor.

Thomas is fighting for his life and needs your prayers to make through this difficult time. We have been told by the doctor that his chance of survival is decreasing with each passing day and he needs to undergo an operation as soon as possible.

We have been trying to get him transferred to SGH where the cost will be lower however the efforts have not been successful as there isn’t an ICU slot available and it will be risky to keep waiting any longer. Therefore we have no choice but to go ahead with operation at Gleneagles.

The medial costs have already picked up to S$ 40K so far and the estimated costs of operation is S$ 100K. Our family doesn’t have the means to afford such medical expenses as I am a security guard and my other two brothers are in ordinary jobs like driving and security.

We are pleading for your help in supporting Thomas through this difficult times. Every dollar you donate counts. We are very grateful for your support and generosity. Please keep Thomas in your thoughts and prayers. He will be going though an operation tomorrow morning and if his situation worsens, the doctors might need to operate today itself since we have been told that the infection is growing.

We need your support to pay the S$ 40K medical bill and subsequent operation costs which is estimated to be S$ 100K. Thank you so much for helping our brother Thomas fight for his life.

BEWARE! EYELASH PERMING SERVICE MADE WOMAN’S EYELIDS SWELL!

To all ladies out there – BE WARNED ABOUT STEPPING INTO MILLY’S!!

I went over to their Suntec branch to try their “lash lift” at $42 (which during the process I realized it was basically just normal eyelash perming, unlike the latest lash lift out in the market) services on 20/9. I asked the therapist if the sizes of the curls were the same and she asked me if I preferred it to be more curly? I said yes sure. Otherwise what’s the use of perming the lashes if I don’t want it to be curly right? Everything was fine until the therapist applied solution on my lashes. My eyelids felt like it was burning! I told her it felt painful and I got the “huh, I never even touch your eyelids

Everything was fine until the therapist applied solution on my lashes. My eyelids felt like it was burning! I told her it felt painful and I got the “huh, I never even touch your eyelids leh” kind of answer. Ok fine. I bear with it, maybe it’s just my skin that is sensitive? Although when I did lash perming couple of years ago I never seem to have this problem?

After the entire process, while the therapist was removing whatever solution that was on my eyelashes, she said the lashes are a bit “too curly”. I didn’t understand what she meant by “too curly” so I asked for a mirror. TO MY HORROR! My lashes were all MESHED UP like wires!!! The lashes were like a freaking auntie’s hair perm gone wrong! I don’t even see a curl! It was just zig zag all the way!! I was seriously so angry! How am I to walk out with the eyelashes like that?? Then they started saying because my eyelashes is short and because I REQUESTED FOR IT TO BE CURLIER?!?!! I’m like wtf?? I REQUESTED?? EVEN IF I DID, how would a “professional lash therapist” let the lashes turn out to be like that??

The best part was when they said THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT! Seriously Milly’s, you screwed up the lash job and you tell me you can’t do anything about it?? And you think you were kind enough to tell me “we won’t charge you for today’s service”. Like seriously, you think I would even pay you a cent for this botched job?? I had to walk out of the shop with hideous lashes and I don’t even know how long I have to bear with this!! Fyi, I cannot even draw a liner or wear falsies because my lashes are all sticking like wires up at the lids fml! And by the way, the next morning when I woke up, my eyelids were swollen! Just what kind of China made lousy solution were you using that you screwed up a simple lash job?? Together with

Fyi, I cannot even draw a liner or wear falsies because my lashes are all sticking like wires up at the lids fml! And by the way, the next morning when I woke up, my eyelids were swollen! Just what kind of China made lousy solution were you using that you screwed up a simple lash job?? Together with unprofessional therapist who does not know what she’s doing!! Worse experience I’ve ever had! I will warn all my friends to NEVER patronize your shop!

Last thing, I realized they DO NOT ALLOW leaving reviews on their Facebook page! Says so much about their shady business! Must have been too many bad reviews that they totally don’t allow customers leaving one! Already a bad sign!

Go into this unprofessional shop at your own risk!!

M’SIA MAN JAILED. COME TO SINGAPORE JUST TO TAKE UPSKIRT VIDEOS @ DHOBY GAUT MRT

A Malaysian man, who was an accounting graduate from a Malaysian University, was caught taking upskirt videos of unsuspecting women in Singapore. Eugene Phang Cheng Qing, 23,was sentenced to 10 weeks in jail after admitting to three counts of insulting the modesty of a woman between May 5 and May 24.

Phang arrived in Singapore on May 5, but it was only on May 24 that he was caught by a man who saw him behaving suspiciously at Dhoby Ghaut MRT Station. He had noticed Phang looking around before taking a few steps up the escalator to stand behind a woman. Phang then slid open the lid covering the camera lens of his mobile phone, and placed it under the skirt of the woman, intending to insult her modesty. The upskirt video lasted about 40 seconds.

The unnamed man confronted Phang, who admitted his guilt but said this was the first time he had done something like this. Police were called in, and when his iPhone and laptop were seized, they found eight upskirt videos were found in the laptop and one in his mobile phone.

Two other incidents happened at Buona Vista and Mountbatten MRT stations. Phang admitted that he targeted female victims who appeared to be alone.

STUDENTS SAY ATTEND CLASS WASTE OF TIME. PRC LECTURERS CANNOT TALK PROPERLY

Does anyone else feel that you are being ripped off paying so much tuition fees? I’m a year 1 student and when you get China professors who doesn’t do a good job at teaching(bad slides, bad English and the lack of enthusiasm as an academic), I just can’t help but feel like I’m being ripped off here.

Don’t get me wrong, they are professors for a reason, they are smart, they are good at their research. But it seems like all China professors just don’t have the ability to teach well.

Watching the 2 hour science lectures again and again and I still struggle to understand what they’re teaching, but when I search for MIT lectures on the same topic, watching once is enough to have a deep understanding of the topic. Anyone else watches MIT lectures?

NOW I KNOW WHY MY GRANDUNCLE BRING UMBRELLA WHEN HE GO CHINATOWN

When I was young I used to stay at my granduncle’s house because my parents are working overseas. We stayed at beach road and occasionally he would leave me alone at home to go out with his friends.

Whenever I asked where is he going he would tell me he is going to Hawker centre at Chinatown to drink beer with his friends. Even though the sky is so clear he would always leave with his umbrella. The funny part is he has been ‘losing’ his umbrellas.

I started questioning him why would he bring the umbrella and everytime come home with a different one. He said that he always forgot and leave it at the hawker centre. He also said that the umbrella doubles as a cane for him to walk.

I really doubt what he said as he was as strong as a bull.

Only later when I grew up I realised he was visiting the infamous cinema at Pearl Centre. Wish he was still around I would have introduced him to the Internet.

 

FRESH GRADUATE EXPECTS $4800 SALARY. THINKS THE WORLD OWNS HIM A LIVING

A fresh graduate posted on Reddit that he thinks he deserves a salary of $4800 despite not having any job experience.

The students claim that he finished school from NUS and he is a super elite that should not draw lower wages than $4800. He is a business student, the most common degrees.

What makes him special?

His post below

“I rejected countless job offers despite as i think i deserved a salary of at least $4800. My grades are one step above the rest and i refuse a salary of $3000. A logistics company told me that I only can get $3000. Wth?

In class, people treat me like a noble as i have the solution for everything. Paying below market grade is a joke.”
