The pricing of a litre of 95-octane petrol now hits as high as $2.19 and the lowest to be seen is $2.15
The 92-octane is priced between $2.11 and $2.15 per litre. While 98-octane being sold at $2.53 to $2.61 per litre. Also, the premium ‘Shell V-Power’ is selling at $2.83 per litre.
Even the price of diesel now is considered high. According to Shell Station, they are selling at $1.84 per litre and $1.81 per litre can still be seen sold by other companies.
The prices of 95-octane were as low as $1.91 previously during the circuit breaker period which can be seen just a few cents more than the diesel sold now.
This was due to the crash in global oil prices when minimal cars were out on road.
But after the end of circuit breaker and reopening, prices of fuel continue to shoot up high.

After the incident: Shen made donations to the Association of Women for Action and Research
For outrage of modesty cases, Terrence Siow has always been used as a benchmark for defence lawyers to get reduced sentences. The defence lawyer argued that Terrence Siao who faced two charges was sentenced to two weeks jail while Shen only received 1 charge.
The judge noted what the defence lawyer said but argued that Dr Shen is a much matured older man.
“There is a considerable difference in age, where Terence Siow was a fairly youthful offender, Dr Shen is an individual who is far more mature in years, and would certainly be expected to know better.” said the District Judge.
A Singaporean man recently posted on Facebook after he felt that good Singaporean girls which are wife material are hard to find as they prefer to be a tai tai after marriage and depend on him for money and also his family’s inheritance.
Here is the full story.
I am a 27 years old single guy this year. My parents have been
asking me to find a partner and settle down, start my career and family etc
etc.
However, I am difficulty finding a suitable partner that I am
willing to settle down with.
Maybe my expectations is too high or unrealistic. But I kinda
expect my partner to be like my mom. (Which I look up with inspirations).
You see, I really respect my mom because when she married my dad
during the 70s, my dad was a pauper which only had secondary school education.
While my mom graduated from NTU. When they got married he had less than $200 to
his name. Yet my mom still married him.
From there, they worked hard together doing their business together
and managed to do very well. In fact they have a few million dollars in assets
and cash and they are already in retirement mode, ready to hand the business
over to my brother and I.
Back to topic, I am difficulty finding a suitable partner that I
am willing to settle down with. I just cant seem to find a partner that is
willing to sacrifice with me just like how my mom to my dad. Its like all my
previous partners, they seem to have that expectation that they will inherit my
money when they get married and they just don’t seem to have that drive I saw
in my mom. Knowing about my family background, they expect so much from me, yet
I do not see them putting in any effort or wanting to work towards a common
goal with me. Its always give give give and they give nothing in return. One of
them even said she wanted to be a tai tai and travel the world…. (Super
turn-off)
Should I accept that women like my mom don’t exist anymore and
settle down for the sake of settling down?

Two men who were Christians were publicly flogged Monday in Indonesia’s ultra-conservative Aceh province for drinking alcohol and gambling. This was considered a rare instance of non-Muslims facing a punishment frequently condemned by rights groups.
The caning comes less than two weeks after a male couple was flogged nearly 80 times each for having gay sex, which is outlawed under local Islamic law.
The two accused Christians received 40 lashes each from a masked sharia officer who beat their backs with a stick.
One of them, identified only as JF, said he chose to be flogged so as to avoid a criminal prosecution that could have landed him in jail for up to six months.
“The Sharia police gave us options and we consciously decided to comply with the Islamic criminal code. No one forced me to choose it,” he told AFP.
Aceh is the only province in the world’s most populous Muslim-majority country that imposes Islamic law.
Non-Muslims who have committed an offence that violates both national and religious laws can choose to be prosecuted under either system.
Flogging of non-Muslims is rare, however, with only a handful subjected to the punishment in recent years for crimes including gambling and selling alcohol.
The current president of Indonesia, Joko Widodo has also called for such public canings to end. Current human rights groups have also slammed such public punishments as cruel.
