    Devadas Krishnadas: Message To MOH – When Winning Can Be Losing

    Message to MOH: When Winning can be Losing

    This crisis in our health care system is non-trivial. People have died and several others have had their health seriously compromised. The cause is a mystery but the fact that this is an episode of the utmost seriousness is not.

    MOH may think that its extreme defensive posture is championing the health care system. However in effect, it runs the risk of losing credibility as an institution and confidence of the people.

    The Worker’s Party (WP) are represented in Parliament and Mr Perera sits in parliament, albeit as a Non-Constituency Member of Parliament (NCMP). As such the response to Mr Perera’s proposal should be treated with maturity and and on substantive grounds rather than petulance and predicated on a rather silly premise that the WP are alleging improper conduct of healthcare professionals – which it clearly does not.

    This matter is going to play out over sometime. Indeed the question of time and timing is a legitimate point of concentration in the review of how this episode has been managed. The MOH response to Ms Rachel Chang, who first pointing to this in public writing, is the antecedent in temperament of their response to WP.

    If the MOH thinks it is somehow winning the campaign on public relations over this episode it may find itself surprised that the result to be the opposite. What it should not be is mystified if that is so. Such a mystery would be easier solved than that concerning the origins of this tragedy.

  • Unapologetic Coca Restaurant Manager Shrugs Off Bbay Cockroach Found In Soup

    Unapologetic Coca Restaurant Manager Shrugs Off Bbay Cockroach Found In Soup

    Last saturday, my cousin and I went for a meal at the Coca Restaurant located at resort world sentosa. This is my worst experience at in my life. The food there were not fresh. And I almost swallow a baby cockroach in!

    Its only when I was blowing the spoonful of soup then I realise there is this black thing in my soup which on closer look I realise thats it’s a baby cockroach which i always saw in the car! And this cockroach totally make me filled with goosebump and lost my appetite.

    My cousin called the manager and showed her the bowl of soup with the special ingredient. To our horror, this manager dont seems to be surprise or apologetic when she saw it. She can just told us that its just a small flying insect and cause we are seated near to the door the swing door open and close and its normal that this will happen. My cousin and i was more shock when we hear this.

    And she did not even bother to do anything until my cousin said then what are you going to do now. Arent you going to change a new utensils and everything then she bothered to change.ue t And she just leave without even apologise to us or anything. But honestly I’m already too disguised to eat anymore. The manager then just continue to do her things like nothing happened at all which makes us even more unhappy about it.

    When we asked for the bill and said that your manager did not even apologise for the incident that happened or give any form of compensation only then she came and apologise to us and said that she will give us free desert as compensation. Who on earth still have the appetite for desert after seeing a cockroach in her soup. And if i were to just drink the soup without blowing i might just drink it unknowingly.

    As an F&B establishment, i seriously don’t think this is acceptable especially when the location is filled with tourist. It just goes to show how terrible is singapore standard. That was my first visit to this restaurant at RWS and I am pretty sure I am too freak out to enter this particular restaurant anymore.

  • Former PMET Unemployed FOr A Year, Now Drives Taxi And Shares One Room With Family

    Former PMET Unemployed FOr A Year, Now Drives Taxi And Shares One Room With Family

    Dear Gilbert,

    My name is Terence.

    I am a 48-year-old Singaporean who is currently driving a taxi. I am a father of 2 very young children, age 5 and 7.

    I was formerly a training manager for XXX.  I was dismissed for not meeting targets.

    However,  at this time,  no other manager was meeting targets as we were going through challenges brought about by the introduction of the DNC (Do Not Call) regulations in Singapore under the new PDPA (Personal Data Protection Act).

    My dismissal was also coincidentally timed with a complain I made to my direct report about racist remarks made against me which I had overhead in a telephone recording between 2 managers who were reporting to me at one time.

    To cut a long story short, I was unemployed for almost 1 year. Eventually,  I have to settle for a taxi driver position.

    I do not have a flat of my own and my family of 4 are sharing one bedroom in a 3-room HDB flat.

    I have applied for over a hundred jobs through various job portals including WDA and have been unsuccessful.  I was willing to take a pay cut of 30% of my last drawn salary but still I was unsuccessful.

    Within 3 months of driving a taxi, I have been nominated for service excellence as a couple of satisfied passengers wrote in to SMRT commending me.

    I need your advice oh what to do.  My highest education level is A levels and I made my way up the corporate ladder through much hard work

    I was for 2 years the Regional Asst. Vice President for XXX. I have been in the call center industry for over 20 years and have trained over a thousand people from agents to team leaders to team managers and trainers in 6 regional countries including Singapore.

    My wife who is an Indonesian PR got employment within 1 week of getting her PR status. WDA seems to be helping her more than me.

    Awaiting your advice and recommendations.

    Thank you and warm regards

    Terence

  • PRC Migrant Faults Property Agent For Losses Because She Doesn’t Understand English

    PRC Migrant Faults Property Agent For Losses Because She Doesn’t Understand English

    A PRC migrant took to the Chinese newspaper Lian He Wan Bao blaming her property agent when she was disallowed to sublet a HDB unit she rented. Zhang Gui Yun, 58, told media reporters that she doesn’t understand English but she signed the rental contract to rent a HDB unit in Bukit Panjang.

    When Zhang Gui Yun tried to sublet the entire unit to another tenant, the new tenant pointed out that her rental contract doesn’t allow her to sublet the unit out. The PRC migrant who is a dependent of her children on student visa in Singapore, is now staying in a rented condominium in Bukit Panjang and that she stated that she has never lived in the HDB unit she rented.

    Zhang Gui Yun complained that the landlord refused to refund her S$2,800 deposit and that the property agent only refunded her S$400 out of the S$1,400 agent’s commissions.

    “(Translated from Chinese report) I do not know I am not allowed to sublet the unit to a third party. I don’t understand English and I trusted the property agent. …The property agent made me lost a lot of money and refunded me only S$1,000 out of the S$1,400 commission made.

    I came to Singapore alone with my child and my life is very hard, so I hope the media will publicize my story and give my justice.”

    The PRC woman also added that she tried to sue the property agent and the landlord from the Small Claims Tribunal twice, but failed in both attempts.

  • Man Jailed 20 Years For Raping 12 Year Old Niece

    Man Jailed 20 Years For Raping 12 Year Old Niece

    After he raped his teenage niece, she was so traumatised that she tried to kill herself by drinking bleach solution and soap powder.

    Even after she fell ill and vomited, his main concern was to conceal his heinous acts by telling his wife not to take the niece to hospital in case it led to a police report.

    So the wife took the girl to a private clinic and hid the fact that she had swallowed bleach from the doctor.

    She later gave her $50 to keep her quiet.

    On Monday (Oct 26), the 54-year-old uncle was jailed for 20 years for raping, molesting and sexually assaulting his young niece.

    The food stall operator, who cannot be named due to a gag order to protect the girl’s identity, had sexually abused her seven times over two years, starting in 2010 when she was just 12 years old.
