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.”

Im hoping that witnesses could come forward and help me by producing video evidence of my hit and run case.

After the backlash received by the store over the fact that a 12 yer old can purchase a dangerous weapon without questions asked, box-shop chain, Hako has pulled a merchant’s karambit knives from its shelves.

The company said in their Facebook post that while the the curved utility blade was not banned for sale in Singapore, it has decided to “take a conservative move” in asking the merchant involved to cease the sale of the knife at its Bedok Mall and Tampines 1 outlets. The spokesperson said that this was not a spur of the moment decision, and the move to pull the knives out of the shelves was done after much deliberation.

Hako said it is careful not to allow merchants to sell prohibited items, and in this case, the merchant had exercised due diligence by writing to the police before importing them. Hako said the merchant in question had imported the karambit to sell to cos-players. While they will no longer be available, Hako said that the “sale of other sharp items like penknives, scissors and everyday use products will still continue”.

An ICA sergeant has been hauled to court on corruption charges. Catherine Lim Zhi Yin, 26, allegedly accepted or agreed to accept bribes totalling $1,680 as a reward for granting 30-day social visit passes to 28 Thai women.

The ICA officer was accused of accepting the money from a Singaporean man, Raymond Lim Boon Ian, 36, between December 2014 and February 2015. Raymond Lim has been sentenced to eight months’ jail for corruption. It was not made known why the Thai women were in Singapore. The ICA, in response to the proceedings again its officer, have stated that Lim has been interdicted from service since March 7, 2015.

The ICA said it takes a serious view of errant officers, and added: “As guardians of Singapore’s checkpoints, ICA officers are expected to discharge their duties professionally and maintain a high standard of integrity.” The ICA also said it had worked closely with the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) when the case was surfaced through ICA’s internal checks and investigations.

I wrote a feedback on 21 September 2017 to WSG careers regarding the jobsbank.gov website as I got fed up with the lack of response from my job applications.

To date for about past 8 months and beyond, I have sent in about more than 60 job applications on the jobsbank.gov website alone. Jobs that are relevant to my education level, skill sets and experience. But looking at my application status now, so many of the ads to which I responded seem to be coming across as not being genuine. If there are any Singaporeans out there who are having similar experience as me with regard to their job applications through jobsbank.gov, I encourage you to come forward. If the jobsbank.gov site is just a wayang and waste of tax payer money, it must be exposed, disposed and replaced! My feedback was written as follows

Dear Sir/Madam,

Possible Dubious/Fake Job Ads on Jobsbank

Employers or agencies advertising job vacancies on jobsbank.gov.sg, need to be advised to update candidates’ application status.

Based on my own record of job applications, some of the ads seem to be dubious as there is no update on the application status even after ONE YEAR or even after the closing date stated on the ad page had passed. There are 4 types of of a job application status as categorised in the Jobsbank website:

1. Received
2. Under Review
3. Successful
4. Unsuccessful

As per my own application records, there is a large majority that shows to have NOT PASSED the “Received” status which leads me to surmise that the respective advertiser is not even reading my application (CV/Resume).

If there is a possibility that certain job ads are being posted on jobsbank just to make up numbers or reflect false figures on local job vacancies, the team managing the jobsbank site should look into tackling it immediately. Else this is just another waste of government resources. Leaning on the assumption that the veracity of a government-related agency is unquestionable, the team assigned to manage the site should also post statistics on the applications. Namely, job application success rates and other information to promote the integrity and validity of the website. In other words, we need to see tangible Continuous Improvement on this avenue provided by the government for Singaporean jobseekers.

Thanks and best regards
