A Facebook user shared his story about knowing his colleague using fake details to get a management post at an MNC. He is thinking that good people always are at a disadvantage.
The user also wonders if he should be doing the same to advance his career.
“I have a friend that is in his early 30s and managed to secure a senior management position at an MNC with very little experience.
He told me the secret to climbing is to cheat and lie. Back in 2008, the man was still serving his sentence after he committed a crime that ended up with him receiving corporal punishment which includes not only a jail sentence but also receiving a few strokes of the rotan.
In his resume, it is stated that he is working as a customer service/coordinator at a local company in 2008. But the fact is, it happened in 2010. After working for 3 months in the company he modified his resume and stated that he was working for over a year.
He then used the fake resume to apply for another job to secure a few hundred dollars worth of increment, he continued working for short periods of time and job hop with all fake details in his resume. It did not stop till he managed to secure a senior management position at an MNC.
It makes me wonder, we have people from overseas using fake degrees and we have local people faking their experience to climb the corporate ladder. Should I continue to be an honest working-class or should I follow the footsteps of my friend but forever be labeled a cheater with no integrity.
But at the same time, I was thinking if I should report this matter to the boss of the company.”

A Grabfood rider, Sharil B, shared an amusing video captured on his helmet’s camera as he exited a carpark.
Sharil was on his motorcycle exiting a carpark, when an Indian guy saw his motorcycle coming towards him.
The Indian guy then bolted off, much to the amusement of Sharil, and started running away.
And he didn’t even stop running, he ran until he was very far away from the motorcycle, as Sharil struggled to control his laughter, pointing out that the guy continued running away even after he got out of the carpark.
Sharil commented that the guy running reminded him of the NPC characters in the online game Grand Theft Auto.
LOL!
Legend has it that by the time you’re reading this, the Indian guy is still running.

An advertisement on Facebook emerged, showing a Facebook page illegally selling vape devices and vape pods to the Singaporean market.
The Facebook page goes by the name “JY98 Servic”.
The seller even had a sale for the month of April, “lelong, lelong” on Facebook.
He (for convenient reporting, we’re just gonna assume the seller is a guy) is selling his vape devices for $55 and vape pods at $23 per box.
He even had a QR code for his potential customers to scan to contact him to buy.
Singapore flags could be seen on his post, boasting a huge supply and stock available.
A quick look at the Facebook page showed more ads with the caption “U HELP ME I HELP U”.
Under section 16(2A) of the Tobacco (Control of Advertisements and Sale) Act (TCASA), it is illegal to possess, purchase and use vaporisers in Singapore as of 1 February 2018.
Persons found guilty of this offence can be fined up to $2,000.

A female netizen shares her worries online about her parents not approving her boyfriend due to his social background and economic status. Her parents wanted her to find another partner with a higher economic status as soon as possible as she is already 28 years old
She dated her bf for more than 10 years and claims that her bf is working very hard for their future. Her family is forcing her to choose between her bf and them and she is in a huge dilemma.
“My boyfriend and I dated for more than 10 years, since our secondary school days. We are planning to get married in 3 years time and are in the midst of choosing bto. However, my parents don’t like him and kept telling me how much they dislike my boyfriend due to his background. My boyfriend lives with his mother and is brought up in a broken family. He also had to take part time uni as he needs an income to pay for his school fees and family expenses. My parents kept reminding me how I could find a much better boyfriend elsewhere and I should change my boyfriend before it’s too late as I’m 28 already. I really love my boyfriend a lot but at the same time, I owe my parents a lot too and I understand why they want me to marry someone richer and more successful. I can see my boyfriend working really hard for our future and apart from being poor, he is really a near perfect human being. Im sure he can succeed in life in the future but my parents doesn’t see it that way. And I’m honestly tired of being torn in between them. It has come to a point that my family is forcing me to choose between them or my boyfriend and I’m torn in between. Its like filial piety vs love… Can anyone tell me what should I do?”

The naked man shouted at a hawker center. He then started to burn random items before he scattered the ashes at the food stalls. The police were then called to catch the perpetrator.
The incident happened at about 8am this morning (May 3) at the Hawker Centre at Block 409, Ang Mo Kio, avenue 10.
A witness said that the man wandered to the hawker centre around 8am and then suddenly took off a sarong on his body, acting strangely. “He then burned a package of unknown objects which turned to ashes, still chanting words in his mouth.”
He revealed that the man approached him later and threw the ashes into a basket which contained vegetables. Then, the man left before taking off the second sarong and exposed his body.
During that period, a young woman who happened to pass by saw the situation and ran away quickly. The naked man choked and said, “What are you looking at? Haven’t seen it?”
The police stated that they received a report at 8:44 this morning that a 34-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of being naked in a public place, and investigations are ongoing.
