A video of a drunk man harassing a taxi driver posted yesterday by netizen Yan Ting has caused a new surge of anger among Singaporean netizens, with many calling for the man’s identity to be exposed for bullying the elderly Chinese taxi driver.

The video posted yesterday showed the man using a large stash of cash to taunt the taxi driver, who could be heard trying to defuse the situation and asking the man to let him go.

According to screenshots of a conversation between the taxi driver and his own group of friends on WhatsApp, the passenger had quarrelled with his girlfriends in the taxi and was venting his frustrations on the older man.

After news of this story broke, a friend of the man’s ex-girlfriend sent a message to expose his identity.

She claims that the man, Gary Lim, is the boss of a famous chicken rice stall in Singapore. She added that the man had “abused” her friend in a previous relationship.

local netizen taking a public bus from Alexandra Hospital was pleasantly amused when she saw a white rabbit riding the public bus. It was seated on the window handle and enjoying the cold aircon as Bus 61 made its way towards Bukit Batok during evening peak traffic.

This is not the first time animals were spotted taking our Singapore public transport. Previously, little birds were spotted taking the MRT at Birdok MRT station.

I really need advice on this. I am currently a contracted employee working in sales line. I have no basic, only paid commission, and paid REIMBURSEMENT for transport ONLY if I have closed 5 deals for that month, which is CAPPED at $85. (The adult concession is $120/month, the reimbursement doesn’t even fully cover that.)

After working for 2 months, I decided to quit, and have given 1-month notice in advance. Unfortunately, I fell down before giving my resignation letter, didn’t realize the severity of the fall. I still have been working dutifully after the fall, and only went to see the doctor today because I was already limping from the pain. The doctor gave me 10 days MC after diagnosing the severity of my fall. I was even given referral letter for follow up at hospital. So I told my boss immediately to inform her of my 10 days mc. And I don’t know what happened and she threw a bunch of MOM web links at me, and demanded that I PAY BACK that 10 days of MC. Because she says that the MC sort off cut short my notice period. She even got a colleague KINDLY tell me off that if I keep taking MC after MC, I can siam the notice period. (Honestly, I did not think of this.)

WHAT THE HELL. I don’t understand why I should pay back my MC when I am genuinely unfit for work. And she threatened to terminate me, and cut all the commission I’ve earned by 85%, leaving me with 15% of my hard earned money. I’m truly confused. I did not ask her to pay me basic for the 10 days, and only requesting for the duration to rest.

I really seek professional opinion from all of you, if under the law, I am obliged to give back that 10 days. Or can she terminate me while I’m on MC or cut my commission.

Each month I am already paying more out of my pocket to pay for the transportation to meet the transportation demand of the job. Do I really have to give in to her?

Be careful of renovation scams from Carpentry Design Works! The company received more than 20 complaints this month alone for unfinished works and delays even though its customers have already paid thousands of dollars. Some waited weeks for plumbing or wiring works but to no avail.

In fact, its office at Telok Kurau does not even have a signboard! Apparently, CASE tried to approach them but did not get a response.

Carpentry Design Works was registered only about a year ago and has been using other people’s identities as its directors. A few of them will be taking action against the firm for misusing their names and letting them take the blame for its monetary loans.

Police are still investigating.
