  • FT: Honest Cab Driver Returned My Wallet, Credit To Singapore

    FT: Honest Cab Driver Returned My Wallet, Credit To Singapore

    After a long flight from the United States lasting more than 22 hours, I caught a cab from Changi to my apartment in Nassim Road around midnight.

    After paying and trying to juggle my many bags and suitcases, I left my wallet in the cab.

    The kind cab driver took my wallet, containing all of my credit cards and hundreds of dollars in cash, of both US and Singapore currencies, to the security booth at my apartment block.

    It is unlikely that I would have had such luck in my home country, or in many of the other countries I have lived in or visited.

    It really speaks to the integrity of this man and the Singaporean people.

    Taxi Driver Allegedly Beaten Up, Disallowed Passenger Drinking Beer In Taxi

    A cabby was allegedly beaten up by a passenger yesterday (Aug 19), when he told the latter not to drink beer in his car.

    All Singapore Stuff shared a post by Facebook user Evon Lim, who wrote that the incident happened at Holland Block 1.

    She shared a photo of the cabby with a bloodied face.

    According to her post, it allegedly happened “because the driver did not allow passengers to consume beer in the taxi”.

    Evon wrote:

    “Passengers treat us cabbies as what? Venting anger targets is it?”

  • Pinoy: Why MOM Keeps Rejecting My Employment Pass Applications

    Pinoy: Why MOM Keeps Rejecting My Employment Pass Applications

    Editor’s Note: A.S.S. receives plenty of odd requests from our readers. Readers have asked for advice on divorces, relationships, courting and clubbing, best makan places and even job recommendations. Although we do not publish all our readers’ requests, we felt you guys might be interested to read this message from a desperate Filipino, who asked us to help him secure an employment pass to work in Singapore. 
    For the record, A.S.S. does not have any power to influence S/E pass applications with the Ministry of Manpower. If we did, there would probably be more jobless foreigners going back to their countries. LOL!
    hello admin..
    i think this message is a desperate move for me to notice a M.O.M..because before i work insingapore at pasta mania for two years as EPASS and then after i finished my contract in pasta mania last year on april i hire in hanwoori a korean resto in singapore garden way and they have a enough qouta for SPASS during that time but M.O.M rejected my application..
    my boss is appeal my application for spass and then after almost 2 months of waiting they rejected me again so i have no choice but to go back in Philippines last june 2014 and then after 4 months of staying here in Philippines my boss contacted me that they have quota again for me as spass but the M.O.M is rejecting me again..and last May my boss call me that they want to apply again my application for spass but again the M.O.M is rejected again my pass…

  • Toastbox Staff Burns Incense Paper In Within Premises, Whole Store Very Smokey

    Toastbox Staff Burns Incense Paper In Within Premises, Whole Store Very Smokey

    Dear ToastBox,

    There is no sense of customer-orientedness in the companies in your chain. I was at Toastbox at Rail Mall this afternoon and found that the store was very smoky.

    At first I was alarmed because I thought it was a fire but later my colleague told me it was because a staff member had been burning incense for the Hungry Ghost Festival inside the hidden kitchen area or immediately outside it (he had been told by the PRC kitchen assistant).

    Is this really proper behaviour in an eatery?

    If true, this seriously violates hygiene standards and is a major fire safety offence. NEA and SCDF should step in immediately to investigate the case.

    In response to this complaint, ToastBox said:

    “Hi Caroline, We apologize for the unpleasant experience you encountered at our Rail Mall outlet. Could you also let us know the time of your visit so our team can investigate this immediately. Thank you.”
