He went on to state that it is important for the government to kick-start this discussion as this is critical for the recovery of the local economy.
Malaysian Association of Hotels Johor state chapter chairman Ivan Teo said that by doing so, it would give hope to tourism industry players who are on the verge of giving up after suffering through the pandemic for almost a year.
“Tourism industry players are losing hope after braving through the pandemic for so long and some have also decided to shut down as they see no way out.
“Starting this discussion will not only give us a better chance of recovering after the pandemic, but will also give industry players a glimpse of hope to continue moving forward,” he said.
Teo also added that there were at least 14 hotels in Johor which has shut down due to the pandemic.
A Singaporean man recently shared his frustration after his wife refused to go out to work and how she kicks up a fuss after complaining that the expenses is not enough even though her husband gives her half of his 7.5K salary. Even though she has 5 branded handbags such as Bottega and Chanel, it was never enough for her.
Here is the full story.
Is it acceptable for a wife to refuse to work and to kick a fuss when she doesn’t get enough money for her expenses, even though she isn’t working?
My wife refused to work since we got married after we graduated. I’m 30 and she’s 27 and we’ve been married for a couple of years. She hasn’t worked a single day. I honestly do not mind it at all. She can stay at home for all I care because I have made wedding vows that I am not about to break.
Yet, she expects me to give her an allowance of more than 50% of my after-tax income, and she refuses to pay for any big-ticket items such as the two TVs I bought, the 4-5 branded handbags she has (Prada, Chanel, Bottega etc), purses, makeup, and other household items.
I used to just buy her whatever she wants but lately I’ve hesitated a bit because most of everything I have bought for her are still in mint condition.
Every time this happens nowadays, she’ll kick up a fuss and claim that I am using money to oppress her. She’ll stop speaking to me for days. By the way, I am still giving her more than 50% of my after-tax income. I have never questioned once what she does with it. The thing is she doesn’t use her money to buy any of the expensive things she wants. She always insists that I must be the one paying for these things on top of the allowance I give her.
I’m running a business that my grandfather passed to my father and then to me. It’s a big and profitable investments business but all the profits have been traditionally retained for growth and I am drawing a very small salary of 7500 SGD a month. I have shown her my income tax statements every year. I do earn 7.5k a month in salary and I draw 0 dividends from the company I co-own (80/20) with my younger sibling.
But fundamentally, regardless of how much I earn, is it ethical for wives to demand to be “paid” excessive amounts of money for lavish spending? By the way, she can’t have children (we’ve tried and she’s barren) so she does not have the excuse of having to stay home to look after kids. This is okay too, I never wanted kids anyway so I am not holding this against her. I would like to reiterate that I have no issue with her staying at home and I am more than willing to give her an allowance that is at least half of my income.
I love her. I would like to think that she loves me too. I have always been very frugal and I have given her no indication that I come from money when we were dating. She even signed a prenup so she wouldn’t be entitled to any of my wealth in the event of a divorce under pressure from both our parents. Her parents wanted a prenup as well because she is an only-child and her parents have 2 condos worth around around 2 million each.
It all changed when my dad paid for a really extravagant wedding (for the sake of our business) and she somehow worked it out that she can live like a tai tai. But as I said, I am not liquid, and she does not have a fundamental understanding of business and refuses to listen every time I try to explain why I cannot afford all the things that she wants to buy.
I don’t know who’s out of line here because I feel I have done a lot to accommodate her life choices.
A video was recently uploaded to the SG Chinese Community Facebook page showing a YP rapping to a self-wrote song.
In the video, the YP was seen using a marker to draw fake tattoos on his body and uses a paper clip as a nose ring. In his rap, he was heard saying how strong and fierce is he as well as his “Brothers”.

A Singaporean guy recently wrote on Facebook after he broke up with his girlfriend and felt that s*x with other girls didn’t feel the same. Even after doing it, he would still feel empty and sad.
Here is the full story.
My life changed completely when I broke up last year. My ex was this almost perfect gf who was pretty, had a nice body, loved me a lot and treated me very well. We were compatible in many areas and had talked about marriage, housing and children. She wanted me to propose to her last year when I graduate. I thought I was set for life with her. However shit happened and we broke up before that could happen. No one expected it as we were such a loving couple. I felt empty inside and was at the lowest point in my life.
Many months later when I was ready and wanted to move on, I went back to the dating scene. I learnt from my past relationship and wanted to be a better me for my future gf. However going on dates made me remember my ex more and realise she was better than other girls in many areas. Even when I was having sex with a girl I was dating, I felt sad and disappointed. Disappointed that doing it didn’t make me feel any better emotionally and I still felt empty. Sad that I’m doing it with someone else and not my ex.
Even then I still told myself that I needed to move on and not get dragged by my past. Then I met someone who clicked with me and we started dating. I put in more effort as I thought it could work between us. I didn’t feel empty anymore and she was very satisfied being with me too. But she felt that she had many flaws while I was too good for her and was just settling with her. Moreover I was hesitant to kiss her sometimes as I wasn’t that physically attracted to her. We also had different values in life and felt that it would become a big obstacle in the future so we decided to end the relationship.
My love life for the past few years have always been going smoothly, meeting the right people and everything was perfect. Now I just feel so lost…
