How to kahwin sederhana if masyarakat tak mengalakkan kita untuk kahwin sederhana?
Nowadays standard range….. 1 outfit – $2k, Makeup artist – $3k, Pelamin decoration – $4k, Photography – $3k.
Honestly, I don’t wanna spend much on wedding. I know that wedding is once in a life time, but do you really have to spend $30k and above for your wedding that will only be less than 6 hours?
And yes, you still can have a beautiful wedding at a smaller price tag. #mayAllaheasemyjourney Amin
Old stall vendor told to pack up his stall when he has set up stall for ten twenty years at the same location. Old uncle says he pays $100 a month to the community centre to set up his stall.
A netizen Neeraj Neji started a petition on change.org to ban all electric Personal Mobility Devices (PMDs) on the pedestrian walkway.
So far 3000 people have signed the petition.
With increased affordability in Personal Mobility Devices (PMDs), there is an increase in usage of such vehicles on pedestrian walkways. However, most walkways in Singapore are narrow, following the concept of a 5-foot walkway from British colonial days.
Furthermore, many riders of PMDs lack formal training in the etiquette when using such devices and cause accidents when they hit pedestrians. Riders of PMDs believe that they are the legitimate users of the walkway and refuse to slow down or give way to walking pedestrians.
I therefore seek to petition for an island wide ban on PMDs until our infrastructure could catch up with the needs of PMDs, including giving PMDs their own path that is separated from pedestrian walkways. The only exclusion from this ban should be for handicapped individuals who require PMDs to commute.

Told him the exact location, during the journey we even asked if you really know the address. He said “YA LAH I KNOW LAH”. Upon reaching our destination, this taxi driver dropped us at some place and asked us to find ourselves?! My friend is not from SG so she doesn’t know sg place well. Offered him postal code to use his gps find, he said “NO I ONLY DROP HERE, TJPG VERY SMALL. YOU OWNSELF GO DOWN LOOK FOR THE NUMBER!” 🙄🙄🙄🙄
WE PAID FOR OUR RIDE. THIS TAXI DRIVER SHOULD DROPPED US AT OUR DESTINATION OR ATLEAST NEARER ABIT? Not anyhow stop where you want & ask us ownself go find?!?!
EH HELLO SHD 328P YOU OLD UNCLE SO WHAT, THINK GIRLS GOOD TO BULLY?!
Ordered 10 chicken, 10 pork and 5 mutton satays. Upon ordering, I checked with the cashier on the estimated waiting time and was informed to be around 10 to 15 mins. The buzzer will ring once it’s ready. We proceed with ordering with other stalls and after finishing all the food, the buzzer has yet to ring.
We have already waited for 20 minutes and thought that there might be something wrong with the buzzer and proceed to the stall. We waited for another 15 minutes (35 minutes since our orders) and went to check with the cashier on the current waiting time. She went to check the order chits in line at the kitchen and couldn’t find our number, proceed to check with her colleague and guess what? No updates from them at all.
A few customers came by and the cashier continued taking orders. Being understanding, we waited till the queue was cleared and checked with the cashier again (another 10 minutes wait). In total, we’ve waited for 45 minutes and their reply was, our order chit was not even on the waiting list. After informing us that, they continued what they were doing, taking new orders from incoming customers.
No one bothered about us until I went up to the uncle who were distributing the satay and asked if we could proceed with a refund since they’ve lost our order chit (someone from the kitchen mentioned that they might have accidentally given our orders to another customers). They said they are unable to proceed with a refund. Fine. Then I asked if they can help prepare the orders now since all the orders currently were the customers that order way after us. The uncle reply was that “you have to wait, everyone has to wait”. I tried to contain my anger and mentioned that we’ve been waiting for 45 minutes already. The uncle ignored us and continued with the current orders. The thing is, they did not slot our orders anywhere in the queue, not even after the latest order they have in line while the cashier is taking up more incoming orders – at this rate, we will never be able to get our orders even after the store closes. The most ridiculous thing is, the uncle told me to come tomorrow. Wait, did we just bought a voucher? We’re buying the satay to eat now and we don’t think we’re asking too much – a refund for unfulfilled order or fulfilment of order now since we’ve ordered it 45 minutes ago. We were declined on both request – ridiculous, it’s something so basic.
Everyone’s attitude was horrible. It’s either they totally ignore us or shouted at us, the video shows the second part of the argument and the uncle toned down upon realising that we took the video – who will ever expect a simple satay order to escalate to such level. The funniest thing is, we were not the only one facing such issue. Another lady with her daughter faced similar issue. They too, confronted the staff however, was discharged off by the staff. With such screwed-up situation, they continued taking new orders and told every customer that the waiting time is 10 to 15 minutes.
Conclusion is that both the lady and us did not get any satays nor refund. Money loss in this incident was not the main concern. We were very disappointed at how the situation was being handled and how inflexible people can be. It’s not easy to deal with large number of orders and understand that such situations do happen. However, immediate actions should be taken for any wrong orders and the first step should be admitting your mistakes. Shouting at customers and pretending that the order never happened is something unacceptable.
On the 8th of June, I was flying back via Singapore Airlines (SQ 516) to Calcutta with my parents (both senior citizens) and younger sister from Brisbane. We had a layover in Singapore and after six hours of being in transit, we were ready to board our flight that was scheduled to take off at 9.10pm Singapore time. We were put on a bus that would take us to our aircraft. With very few seats available and all taken, the majority of us were standing. The driver started the bus, moved it by half an inch, and then got off the bus.
He repeated this four times. Everytime we thought we were going to leave, he got off. It was about 30 minutes we had been trapped inside with no explanation, no reasons.
My 73 year-old father and many other senior citizens and toddlers were extremely uncomfortable and physically exhausted just standing there in oblivion. Some of us frantically knocked on the door and windows and the driver of the bus shrugged from the outside as if to say “I have no idea what’s going on, don’t yell at me” until one lady from the ground staff (who was earlier anxiously ushering everyone onto the bus as if we were school children or an uneducated lot) came to the bus to ask us to calm down. Some of us, including me, lost our cool at her and yelled at her until she let us off the bus and wait at the terminal. 20 minutes later we were asked to board the aircraft.
It was now 9.30pm. Upon boarding, we were told that the airconditioning in the aircraft was not working and it would be fixed within fifteen minutes. Every five minutes the captain kept giving us live updates on the PA system — “the engineer is on his way”, “the engineer is here and it will be fixed soon”, “please bear with us, the temperature will increase for ten minutes before it starts cooling”.
Everyone waited patiently until we realised this wasn’t going to get fixed anytime soon. Half an hour had passed with zero ventilation in an aircraft full of passengers. An airhostess at some point told me the aircraft hasn’t been in use for a long time and so the airconditioning was not working. A pregnant lady had gotten so sick she was getting hot flashes and no amount of water splashing helped. Two other women were profusely throwing up in the back of the plane. Everyone was sweating. It was 31 degrees in Singapore and very humid. When we confronted the cabin crew, they had no answers, rudely shut us up, threatened to call the cops to arrest us, and said “we are in the same situation as you are, don’t ask us, we don’t know anything”. If we won’t ask them then who are we supposed to ask? They were not letting us deboard the plane and they weren’t being able to immediately fix the airconditioning problem and they weren’t able to give us any answers.
Passengers were using the safety card to fan themselves. Two doctors (a senior citizen couple who had to board the aircraft from another wing in wheelchairs) from my apartment building in Calcutta were on the same plane. When I went to them asking for help for people throwing up, I saw that the gentleman had gotten so sick he had to take off all his clothes and sit in a mere vest. Like us, they were traveling from Australia where it’s anywhere between 6 and 9 degrees right now. The airline didn’t let anybody go. We were being treated like prisoners, being asked to sit in our seats and wear our seatbelts. They told us if we were going to offload ourselves then we wouldn’t be allowed back in and they would put us on another plane which was two days later and they wouldn’t compensate us for any of it. The airline did NOTHING to make us comfortable.
They refused us cold water and drinks until much later when we gathered around the pantry demanding for fizz drinks to feel better. My dad, who has a major dehydration problem, felt suffocated and claustrophobic. The pilot kept announcing that they we are about to fly “soon” but nothing happened. Three times the ground police came to our aircraft to understand the problem and did nothing about it despite people crying for help. It seemed like they were just called in to distract us. Later, when the pilot announced they were ready to go, the airconditioning had still not started. Everyone was nervous. When I raised the concern with a ground security police officer, he told me that I shouldn’t be on this plane and that I should immediately get off. People were concerned that what was a “minor problem” took THREE HOURS to fix and very few had confidence we would land safely. In a situation like this, we expected the cabin crew to help us understand the problem and reassure us that it was fixed and safe to fly.
As someone generally very afraid and anxious of flying, I raised the safety concern with a male cabin crew, and a lady cabin staff (also the head) overheard as he was explaining to me what had happened, and nastily asked him to ignore everything I was asking or saying. When I told her how can you ask your staff to ignore a passenger, her response was that she didn’t have time for this! Our plane took off at around midnight-12.30am Singapore time. We were supposed to reach Calcutta at 10.30pm Calcutta time and we landed at 2am. We were on that plan for three hours with zero ventilation in super humid weather, with no way to get out, with a bunch of extremely rude cabin crew, and absolutely nobody helping to make the situation better. This was a traumatic experience not only for me and my senior citizen parents but for everyone on that plane. I strongly believe that this outright racist and dehumanising behaviour was meted out to us because we are Indians and the superiority complex was beyond evident.
Singapore Airlines took no responsibility and the captain issued a basic verbal apology over the PA system. To some passengers they handed out universal adapters (!!??!!) as a token of I’m not sure what. We take premium airlines because we have faith in their services and that our journey will be nothing less than comfortable.
Singapore Airlines went out of its way to make the experience horrifying for us. They should not have let us board the plane in the first place if they knew there was a problem, which they evidently did when our bus was delayed and we were thrown back into the terminal. I wonder if they would have behaved the same way with passengers in an aircraft flying to New York or London. Well, you know the answer.
A passenger on the aircraft mentioned that if they delay boarding of passengers, the airline is charged a heavy penalty and that is why we were forced into the sauna of a plane! Is this true? To people reading this and those with knowledge about this, I want to know if and how I can take this up legally and whether I can claim a full reimbursement?
Appreciate any and all kind of help and support. Please share widely. Thank you!
