CUSTOMER SERVICE LADY BROKE DOWN IN TEARS OVER THE PHONE AFTER UNABLE TO ANSWER NETIZEN QUESTION

I feel bad for the DBS customer care girl who answered my call today. I asked a question on how the bank compounds interests and updates loan balances after receiving payment. Either I couldn’t make my question clear (cuz I’m not a banking professional) or she wasn’t in the right position to give such advice. After a long frustrating dialogue, she started crying.

I had to tell her it wasn’t personal and I apologized for her frustration (I totally consider the possibility that I suck at communication). She said she would get back to me and demonstrated her professionalism by saying the full “thank you for calling DBS good bye” kind of things before hanging up.

I can imagine people in her positions handling hundreds of calls like this and the banks do not always help them find an answer immediately. And I can imagine the banks have protocols to not allow them to hang up early, or say anything offensive over the line.

I wanna take this opportunity to shout out to everyone working in the service sector that you are doing just fine. Don’t let a few unpleasant incidents ruin your day at work.

And to me, I’m troubled myself, because there is a possibility that I’m unknowingly an a$$hole.

MACPHERSON RC APOLOGIES FOR THE PRICE DIFFERENCE AS THEY NEVER INTEND TO DISCRIMINATE FELLOW CITIZENS!

It has come to our attention that the different ticket pricing for our event last Sunday has caused some disquiet. We sincerely apologize for what happened and would like to offer an account of what happened.

The event on Sunday was intended to bring residents of MacPherson Zone B together, to catch up with neighbors and to promote greater cohesion and integration. As such, one of our objectives was to encourage new citizens to join community events where we have seen friendships forged over the years. We thought that a lower ticket price will encourage more new citizens to come forward.

In doing so, we have neglected the feelings of the majority of our residents. It was a once-off decision by our committee to charge differently and definitely not a policy of the MacPherson grassroots. We have absolutely no ill intent but we recognize that it was an unwise decision.

As fellow residents, we have never harboured any intent of discriminating fellow citizens. It is our mission to bring people together and we cherish the opportunity to volunteer and serve our community. This episode is an honest error in judgement on our part. We are truly humbled by this and thank everyone for pointing out how we had erred. We have learnt from this episode.

We are always grateful for the support that our residents have given us. We endeavor to continue improving ourselves and serve as best as we can.

Thank you for your understanding and generosity.

Beware Chong Pang market fruits stall sell durians with worm

I was craving for durians today, so my family head over to Chong Pang market fruits stall (the one with the tentage as shown in the post). The seller kept psycho us to get $18/kg durians but we ended up buying 2 @ $30 even though his attitude was bad (probably because we didn’t get the ones @ $18/kg).

I was the first to taste the durians when we got home since I was craving for it. To my horror, there were worms in the durian, faint ~ FYI, I didn’t notice till the second bite as I felt there were crunchy bits inside the flesh.

Went back to the same stall & told the seller about it. His replied was: 一个而已吗, 再选两个咯 (one only, choose another two durians lor). LOL f*ck you, who wants to have the second one after the worms have digested into my stomach -.- & the seller don’t even feel apologetic at all. So my dad asked for a refund since we don’t want to have the durians anymore. Another guy passed us the $ and said 拿拿 (take take). Lol hello, we don’t owe you anything. All we want is to get the refund as the incident of having worms already grossed me.

Yishunites or whoever buys fruits from there, just be careful. Please check the quality of the fruits before consuming. You may also consider to buy fruits from the opposite stall instead.

DURIAN LOVER TAKE NOTE: DURIAN SELLER SHARE THE DIRTY TRICKS OF DURIAN SELLERS!

Must Read 😃
Hello Durian Lovers
I ( unknown) was a durian seller for more 30 years since 1960’s.

I am revealing some durian sellers dirty tricks & the quality of the durians.This year the durians are very expensive & hope readers will decide after reading it.1) never buy durian from display packaging pack why? becos the seller will assemble overnight or half spoilt durians into packaging pack & sell at fixed price.Actually overnight durians are almost worthless & easily get bad.If the durians taste sour pls stop eating & throw away the pack.

2) pls do not eat branded durians like Mao Shan Wang/D24/red prawns & others why? the durian farmers will spray toxic chemicals at the tree roots/bark & durians to prevent flying fox/snake/insects & others from attacking their expensive durians.As a result you can hardly see housefly & ants at the durian stalls nowadays.

3) FYI I lost 2 good friends ( died from throats cancer) by eating branded durians for few years. I did warn them😰 Just try to eat Mao Shan Wang/D24/red prawns & others you can straight away feel the burning sensation at your throat during your sleep or next morning.This indicate the toxic chemical are working.Another gd example to confirm the above that there are no housefly or ants attacking the durian packaging sale pack although the durians are very sweet. Just check it yourself.

4) pls buy durians without any pre-opening why? the durians fell from trees snakes/insects will try to eat/attack at any opening of the durians—not safe

Made sure your durians are open in front of you & any pre-opening pls do not accept as the sellers are always tricky. They try to pass the bad one to you & after all they are businessman.( I know all their dirty tricks like using hand gloves or cloth to cover the durians & pretend to open it——actually the durians are already opened or pretend sweet talk to distract you)
Pls check all your buy durians before paying( they can switch them very fast) & also check their weighting machines.After all the durians is like the price of gold.

5) pls do not eat any durian cakes/pudding/deserts as the owners buy the cheapest quality.

P/S watch out for more update news.
Good luck & enjoy it😁
