  • Malaysians Rejoice Sepang’s Exit From F1, Singapore Continues To Be Ripped Off

    Malaysians Rejoice Sepang’s Exit From F1, Singapore Continues To Be Ripped Off

    *Go away. We do not need old white men like Ecclestone to rip us off anymore*

    At first, I was perhaps 70% supportive of Malaysia dropping Formula One but after hearing what the moronic 86 years old former owner of F1 Bernie Ecclestone said, I am now 150% supportive.

    After Najib saw we were losing huge amount of money hosting F1 every year for 17 years, Malaysia decided to drop it from next year on.

    Ecclestone then shockingly admitted that F1 had been deliberately over-charging the venues including Malaysia for the rights to host F1 – hence causing them to make losses.

    In reply, our Sepang circuit boss Razlan Razali said that Ecclestone lacked respect and made promoters “look like idiots” when Ecclestone said they were deliberately overcharging.

    Ecclestone then replied that no one will miss Malaysia’s F1 as they still have Singapore. He then said:

    “Nobody made him look stupid, and it’s difficult to make people look stupid. If they are, they are,” and that it is not their fault that the Sepang race cannot make money.

    Well… Fook you, Eccelstone.

    We do not need to be deliberately ripped-off by old white men like you and treated with disrespect.

    We already have our old ex-PM to rip us off and insult us. We don’t need you, Ecclestone.

    No wonder so many famous tracks of the past such as Zolder and Zandvoort, Nürburgring and Brands Hatch had stopped hosting F1.

    South Korea even stopped their F1 in 2013 just three years after starting citing high costs.

    Even the famous Marseilles Grand Prix was axed for 10 years and will only resume next year.

    Therefore, I am now 150% supportive of not getting screwed by white-men, lose a lot of money each year (Forbes estimated the cost to be USD1 billion or RM4.34 billion over 10 years) and to add insult to injury, get insulted further.

    Our Prime Minister had made the right decision to drop F1.

    Don’t worry. You still have Singapore, right?

    LSS.

  • Bedok Robber Punched 8-Month Old Pregnant Lady In Stomach After Failed Robbery Attempt

    Bedok Robber Punched 8-Month Old Pregnant Lady In Stomach After Failed Robbery Attempt

    A 42 year old pregnant lady was punched in her stomach by a robber in broad daylight in Bedok as she was taking the lift back home. Last Friday (28 April 2017), the 8 months pregnant lady finished marketing and was on the way home when the robber tailed her into the lift.

    The robber waited for the victim to walk out of the lift before tugging at her handbag. Instead of letting go, the pregnant lady held on tight and refused to let go of her wallet and started screaming loudly for help. When he failed to snatch her handbag, the robber was enraged and punched her in the stomach as warning.

    Despite the attack, she continued to scream loudly and seeing that he was unable to snatch her bag, the robber ran off hurriedly. Fortunate for the lady, both she and the baby were alright after checkup.

    A police report was made at 9pm that night and after reviewing CCTV footage, the police arrested the robber at Tampines MRT the following day. The robber was charged for attempted robbery in Court on 1 May 2017. If convicted he would be sentenced to a minimum of 1 year jail or up to 7 years with rotan caning.

  • Who Dented The Wheel Of This Ofo Bike?

    Who Dented The Wheel Of This Ofo Bike?

    Some locked the bicycles up for personal use. Others tampered with the locks, and one even painted it white.

    But it looks like bike-sharing in Singapore is set to hit new lows.

    Stomper Darshan found an Ofo bike left lying in a by-lane with a dented wheel.

    “The shared bike service in Singapore is a brilliant introduction to the local transportation system.

    “It is up to us to make it work and keep it affordable.”

  • Insurance Company Not Helpful, Daughter Turned To Crowfunding, Raise $250,000 To Bring Comatose Father Back To Singapore

    Insurance Company Not Helpful, Daughter Turned To Crowfunding, Raise $250,000 To Bring Comatose Father Back To Singapore

    The Singaporean who suffered a cardiac arrest and lapsed into a coma in Tokyo just over a week ago is due to arrive in Singapore on Tuesday.

    The team from EMA Global, the medical assistance company appointed for the evacuation, left Singapore for Tokyo, a spokesman told The Straits Times on Monday (May 1).

    His 25-year-old daughter, Ms Eileen Cheong, had successfully raised $250,000 on fundraising platform Give.Asia to get her father home to Singapore.

    She wrote in her campaign that her family had flown to Tokyo on April 19 to celebrate her mother’s cancer remission when her father had a heart attack.

    He was resuscitated and admitted to the Intensive Care Unit at Toho University Omori Medical Center on the same day and placed on mechanical support.

    Japanese doctors told her family that they could not determine how long her father would stay in a coma.

    The family owed the hospital about $120,000, and it would cost at least another $120,000 to bring Mr Cheong home by medical evacuation, according to Miss Cheong.

    Ms Cheong wrote that her dad’s travel insurers MSIG informed her family that they were “unlikely to have a successful claim as his collapse was attributable to a pre-existing heart condition”.

    The 25-year-old, who is a fresh graduate earning less than $3,000 a month, turned to crowdfunding on Give.Asia to get her father home.

    In an update on Saturday evening, Ms Cheong said that all $250,000 had been raised.

    Ms Cheong had said in a campaign update on April 30 that her father was in a stable condition. She thanked all contributors and donors and promised to post an update on the situation soon.

    A spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had told previously said that it was aware of the incident and that the Singapore Embassy in Tokyo was rendering the necessary consular assistance to the family.
