    Beware: Renovation Company Cheating Customers Again After Several Years Passed

    Dear Friends,
    If you see this couple running a company please don’t trust and make any payments. Now the company is under this name (Carpentry Interior Works Pte Ltd) but you will never know when they will change the company name again. They don’t bother how you suffer paying your loan back to the bank or etc. To them as long u pay them is enough but they won’t complete your job. Office is longer operating at Telok Kurua or Yishun. I wonder where would the next LOCATION & COMPANY BE???

     

    **** Make these scammers famous****

    This women Sharlyne real name Husniyati Binte Omar & her husband Andre Yu real name Aszrul Yusoff are scammers! They have cheated me a total of $15,100 for my renovation. Took a deposit from me of $500 in early Feb and waited for me to apply my renovation loan with DBS bank.. which was approved in March.. I received my chq and gave it to them on 5/4/2017 she promised to start work immediately but when I texted her she asked me to come down to the office to sign another agreement so I contacted her again to check when to go down..she didn’t reply.. tried to look for her company’s facebook but couldn’t seem to find it! After a few day’s I come to find out that she has been arrested for cheating..

    I made a police report and was advised to go to CASE TRUST went there today but was told nothing can be done if the company is no longer operating so they just took a report for formality sake. I can’t believe we got cheated. I have been suffering and just got my house after 6yrs and now when I finally when i get my house this happens to me.

    They’ve cheated many other people as well I’m not the only one.

    Both her office has been shut down

    1) 308 Telok Kurau Road, #01-18 Vibes @ East Coast Singapore 423858.
    2)A’posh Bizhub, Yishun Industrial St 1 #03-01.

    I really hope something could be done about this I feel devastated about what has happened.

    Please be aware of her & her husband! She’s has 7 kids I don’t understand how she could do this to another family?? How would she feel is this was one of own flash and blood?

    I remember clearly of her saying “I’m giving you my hand please don’t bite it” WELL DONE! who has bitten who’s hand!!! Bloody bitch!

    Now I have lost $14,600 + $500 (Deposit) where no work is done at all for my renovation plus I have to pay the bank back with interest of $16,600 total amount is $31,700! That’s alot of money to me I don’t even earn that in 1 year! I feel lost on what to do! She’s going to pay for this!

    EDITOR’S NOTE

    Apparently, the couple and the company they own have scammed several victims since 2014 where we had a similar post about the scam. It is likely that they have been arrested based on photos taken from https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=332106030525901&id=332104343859403. Photos of the couple is also available here.

    Sadly, cheating companies can continue operating and they can even turn an occasional profit.

    Do a keyword search for the company and include the term “scam” and you’ll find all of the complaints about shoddy products and substandard service. And yes, those are the ones you want to avoid. Right about now, you should also look out for “Sharlyne / Andre / Sherie / Reshea Carpentry Design Works/ Carpentry Interior Works Pte Ltd” when looking for renovation company to engage their services.

    Have you been cheated by this particular scammers or any other renovation companies? Share your encounter with us at Rilek1Corner.

  • The Day I Got Drenched At Kampong Gelam

    The Day I Got Drenched At Kampong Gelam

    THE DAY I GOT DRENCHED AT KAMPONG GELAM

    #MYFsg office is located at 62A Arab Street, in the heart of Kampong Gelam. It is just 2 minutes walk to Sultan Mosque. I was often asked why I chose that location. To me, its a no brainer. It is a centralised youth hotspot.

    Today, I found out that its not just that.

    Throughout our stay in Kampong Gelam, there have been several funeral prayers conducted at Sultan Mosque for prominent community leaders who spent their life in His servitude, whose legacies helped set Singapore on a path of peace and progress. At MYF, we have a culture encouraging each other to take time to pay our last respect to our pioneer leaders, regardless of their fields. I didn’t think much of of it, then.

    Just recently, the nation laid to rest one of its first-generation leaders, the late Mr Othman Wok. The funeral prayer was conducted at Sultan Mosque. The congregation itself was filled with changemakers, old and young. The sky teared heavily the moment when the casket was being transported in the pouring rain to a gun carriage to begin its journey to the burial site.

    Witnessing the moment barely 5 metres away, its was solemn, drenched.

    That moment, I realised the reason God placed me in Kampong Gelam.

    He wants me to constantly be reminded of the contributions made by our pioneer leaders. The prosperity today could not be achieved without their sacrifices. More than I know, I needed these moments to gather strength to be steadfast in courage and passion into creating a better life, a better tomorrow for the community.

    I was also reminded that there are no such thing as retirement on the path of service. You simply serve till your last breath and may our death too benefits the community, triggering reflection and repentance. When that day come, we can only hope that the next generation is ready to carry on the torch. Moving faster than us. Breaking more things than us.

    It is up to us to live up to the legacy that was left for us, and to leave a legacy that is worthy of our children and of future generations.

    It is no longer a question of how much we believe we owe those living in the future, not just our own children or grandchildren, but the generations of people who will come long after we are gone.

  • Woodleigh MRT Scare: Running Group Used Flour To Mark Out Jogging Trail

    Woodleigh MRT Scare: Running Group Used Flour To Mark Out Jogging Trail

    The three men assisting the police with investigations over the white substance left at Woodleigh MRT Station on Tuesday (April 18) are joggers from a running group, The Straits Times has learnt.

    ST understands that the trio were helping to mark a trail before the main run took place.

    A 69-year-old man was arrested for an offence of public nuisance on Tuesday. Hours later, the police said two other men – aged 53 and 70 – were also assisting in investigations.

    ST understands that all three are locals and that they are part of a running group: Seletar Hash House Harriers.

    According to its website, Seletar Hash House Harriers was established in 1980.

    The website lists a run on Tuesday (April 18) at 5.30pm from Block 150, Serangoon North Avenue 2.

    In its description, the Seletar Hash House Harriers wrote that they are a “running/drinking/social club which was started by bored expatriates in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in 1938”.

    It went on to explain that hashing is where runners set a course in advance of other runners by marking out a trail with white flour, toilet paper and or chalk marks.

    Hashing has been done in other countries such as the United States.

    In 2007, two people who sprinkled flour in a parking lot for their “hash” run sparked a bioterrorism scare, NBC News reported.

    A cleaner had found the flour sprinkled at various parts of the station, MP Melvin Yong, who is also executive secretary of the National Transport Workers’ Union (NTWU), said in a Facebook post on Tuesday.

    The station was closed for about three hours and the Singapore Civil Defence Force dispatched HazMat officers to the scene.

    The incident comes more than two weeks after Hougang MRT Station was briefly shut down due to security concerns over an unattended bag.

    A 39-year-old man was arrested in that instance, which occurred on April 2.

  • ASEAN Football Federation Contradicts FAS Regarding $500,000 Donation By Bill Ng

    ASEAN Football Federation Contradicts FAS Regarding $500,000 Donation By Bill Ng

    The Asean Football Federation (AFF) has contradicted earlier statements by the Football Association of Singapore regarding a $500,000 donation by Bill Ng.

    The FAS had previously said that it was former FAS president Zainudin Nordin, who had approached Ng with a proposal to support the AFF’s Football Management System (FMS), and that Ng had decided to donate the money directly to AFF through a soccer club that he owns.

    “It is clear that the amount of $500,000 was never meant to be donated to the FAS or any Singapore footballing activity… This was not a case of FAS accepting a donation and thereafter channeling the amount to AFF instead of using it for local football.” – FAS

    FAS provided a quote which it claimed was from“an AFF spokesman” saying:“We are thankful to our donors and partners who have come onboard to support this new programme, including one of the FA Singapore NFL clubs who donated S$500,000 towards the system.”

    Team Game Changers which is led by Ng and will be contesting the FAS elections on April 29, issued a four-page statement yesterday to refute the FAS’ assertions. Read their press statement here: http://www.theindependent.sg/we-are-here-to-serve-singapore-football.

    The following is a press release by the AFF in full.

    —
    PETALING JAYA (17 April 2017) – As a result of various queries from the media on the subject of the FMS, the AFF would like to clarify particularly on the system.

    The Asean Football Federation (AFF) Football Management System is an initiative aimed at enhancing the capabilities of football associations and clubs which will then better position them to achieve success in key result areas including but not limited to income generation, information technology, corporate governance, and facilities utilization, among others.

    The sharing of resources among football associations in this region will strengthen ongoing efforts aimed at raising the standards of football management in Southeast Asia. We are in the last phase of preparations and we expect to launch the system within the next nine to 12 months.

    The AFF Council members were informed at the 3 Council Meeting held on 6 December 2015, that the FA Singapore had donated a sum of SGD500,000 on 4 November 2015 as a payment to develop the System. The Council recorded its thanks and appreciation to FA Singapore for their effort to make the project a reality.

  • Some Parents Don’t Understand Why Birthday Celebrations Should Be Kept To Minimum

    Some Parents Don’t Understand Why Birthday Celebrations Should Be Kept To Minimum

    No goody bags, no sweet treats and no gifts. Instead, a simple birthday song sung in class should suffice.

    Some primary schools are laying down the law on birthday festivities in schools, saying they should be kept to “no-frills” celebrations.

    This, they say, will curb concerns about food allergies and the consumption of junk food.

    Just as important, it prevents students from making comparisons between the haves and have-nots.

    The Straits Times found that at least six schools have issued such guidelines in recent years: Dazhong Primary School, Pei Chun Public School, Geylang Methodist School (Primary), Oasis Primary School, Springdale Primary School and Riverside Primary School.

    The Ministry of Education has no policy on this, allowing individual schools to decide.

    But some parents whose children are in these schools are unhappy, saying that they celebrated their children’s birthdays in pre-school and should be allowed to continue the custom in primary school.

    Housewife Betha Bhanu Valli Kalyani, 36, who has a son in Primary 2 in Springdale Primary, used to mark birthdays with him in pre-school by distributing goody bags containing toys and tidbits to his classmates, in addition to ordering balloons and a cake.

    “He used to have celebrations in kindergarten, so I don’t see why he is not allowed to do so now,” she said.

    Housewife Geraldine Tan, 41, who has a son in Primary 2 at Holy Innocents’ Primary School, said his school does not discourage such celebrations.

    Making comparisons “is part and parcel of life and shielding children from that is a little excessive”, said Ms Tan.

    But the schools say that they have their reasons.

    “There is also a concern that the students will start to compare between the haves and have-nots,” principal Ong-Chew Lu See said.

    “While we want our students to build quality relationships within the class, we do not want to encourage comparison among them.”

    “Some parents show their love by wanting to celebrate their birthdays in a bigger way, but others love their children in simpler ways…

    “Parents have said that this avoids comparison (of material wealth) among pupils,” she told The Straits Times.

    Civil servant Nur Azlina, 36, who has a Primary 2 daughter and Primary 1 son in Riverside Primary, likes the school’s “no-frills” stance.

    She recounted how her son’s classmate had given out customised pencil cases inscribed with the name of each child during a birthday party in kindergarten and he had asked her if they could do something similar for his birthday.

    “Children already start making comparisons at a young age and it makes things difficult for parents who come from different family backgrounds,” said Madam Azlina.
