  • Man Beaten By Thugs Told To Seek Own Legal Recourse, Threatened In Front Of Attending Policemen

    Man Beaten By Thugs Told To Seek Own Legal Recourse, Threatened In Front Of Attending Policemen

    Today I learnt something new about the law in Singapore. A poor guy was assaulted by 2 strangers, together with a video recorded by a witnessing neighbour (who show it to the police) and still assailants walk away free after the police spoke to them. And they( the assailants) intimidated me (with the victim) outrightly in front of the police officers with gestures of ‘I’m watching you’. And still police cannot do anything.

    I voice out my frustration to the officers and the supervisor explains to me that it is not an arrestable offence. He continued with I can lodge a complaint and proceed to state court (my own cost) if I want to.

    As for the poor chap who got beaten up for no reason, he too was told to lodge a complain and go to state court for the assailants to be charge with ‘causing grievous hurt’.

    My Wife and I worried now. Court only operates from Monday. What if he kill me on Sunday?

    Just writing to vent my frustrations. Learn something new today. The next time you assault someone, don’t worry when the police come. They’ll tell the victim to lodge a complain and you’ll be ask to leave the vicinity.

    Thank you Government.

  • Condo Resident Cheats Taxi Driver Of Fare, Threatens To Lodge Complain With Taxi Company

    Condo Resident Cheats Taxi Driver Of Fare, Threatens To Lodge Complain With Taxi Company

    All taxi drivers. Please beware of this lady.

    She took taxi from Clifford center to a condo in Tanjong Rhu and left without paying the fare. She complained that the driver took long route and want to lodge a complain and refuse to pay and tried to run away.

    The driver asked the security guard at the condo about her and he said she does not stay there.

    Checked with the taxi company and the reply was no complain was lodged and obviously she is trying to take a free ride. Tried to make a police report and the police said they cannot do anything about it unless she repeats many times.

    There is nothing that can be done so just want to make this post to warn other taxi fellows and also shame her. It’s sad that there are such people taking advantage of others.

  • Angry Foreigner: Foreign Workers Can Screw Singapore If They Continue To Be Treated Like Dirt

    Angry Foreigner: Foreign Workers Can Screw Singapore If They Continue To Be Treated Like Dirt

    My dear Singaporean friends, please excuse this rant but I am royally pissed this evening.

    It is not usual for me to use expletives on Facebook but today I really do feel the urge with two particular reasons.

    dave-appleton-1

    Firstly, I was clearing out some of my stuff from the old house in SG and the boys were watching some Mediacorp drivel that they produce pretending it to be “Entertainment” I believe it was not a quiz show per se with real contestants, rather a pseudo quiz staffed with people who imagine themselves to be celebrities.

    About the final question was “What makes you happy to be Singaporean?” One of them replied “That we are not Malaysian”. The expletive that I am avoiding in this case would refer to the aforementioned person as an arrogant player of the pink trombone. Seriously? Singapore that great country whose citizens venture into neighbouring countries and have sex with their cars in order to get more cheap fuel into them? Where Mediacorp “entertainment” is anything but?

    The second was the way the Singaporean side of the causeway is being run. After 9.30 p.m. there are two feeds onto the causeway for cars, over the viaduct from the BKE or up the ramp from Woodlands road / Woodland Central. Each of these is funnelled into a specific lane and they are usually manned pretty much equally.
    Tonight, I joined the queue over the viaduct at about 3.00 a.m. It was SLOW. The sign said HEAVY TRAFFIC INTO JB. I reached passport control at 4.45 a.m. The reason? The channel that the viaduct feeds into had TWO booths open while the other channel had about eight open. There wasn’t really much traffic – it was simply poor load balancing. All kudos to the officer in charge of handling the manning of the booths, he was obviously busy handling him own interests instead. SO I finally get home to loved ones around 5.15. Thanks a lot. (See the cheeky reference I slipped in there?)

    Both annoy me – but the thing that annoys me far more is that there was an almost stationary jam in the bike lane.

    I find it odd that Middle Eastern countries are criticised for their treatment of foreign workers but everybody keeps mum on Singapore’s attitude.

    Without the tens of thousands of Malaysians who come in by bike and bus every day the Singapore economy would be screwed. How do they reward these brave people who ride through hot sun and torrential rain to power the Singapore economy? My putting in place such a inefficient system that the jam for bikes can be up to two hours EVERY DAY. Rain or shine. And today it was still jammed at 4.45 p.m. when I left.It is getting worse.

    Shame on you for this Singapore. I really feel that you can do better. You don’t pay enough for Singaporeans to be able to survive doing these jobs, but you treat the heroes who have a similar enterprising spirit to those who built your country, the construction workers, the domestic helpers, the shipyard hands – you treat them all like dirt, while you sit in a nice air-conditioned office feeling smug.

  • 2 Perusahaan Milik Anak Melayu Singapura Dinobat Usahawan Sosial Dunia

    2 Perusahaan Milik Anak Melayu Singapura Dinobat Usahawan Sosial Dunia

    Dua perusahaan sosial anak Melayu berjaya mengatasi 42 pasukan dari 15 negara untuk meraih hadiah wang tunai $40,000.

    Pasukan PsychKick dan Nomad di kalangan enam pasukan pemenang acara Usahawan Sosial Muda (YSE) anjuran Yayasan Antarabangsa Singapura (SIF) siang tadi (21 Okt).

    MASALAH SENDIRI JADI ILHAM TANGANI MASALAH PESAKIT LAIN

    Setahun lalu, Nurul Syafiqah, pelajar La Salle, 23 tahun, mengalami masalah kemurungan dan dimasukkan ke ward psikoterapi. Melalui pengalaman itu, beliau melihat sendiri kekurangan dari segi sistem rawatan yang diberi kepada pesakit. Ini memberi beliau ilham untuk menolong pesakit yang mengalami masalah sepertinya.

    Bersama dua lagi rakan beliau Sayid Hafiz dan Zachary, mereka memulakan PsychKick April tahun lalu.


    Kumpulan tiga sekawan ini menghasilkan sebuah aplikasi untuk membantu ahli psikoterapi memantau dan berhubung lebih rapat dengan pesakit mereka, sekali gus meningkatkan keberkesanan program rawatan dan mempercepat proses pemulihan.

    Mengulas tentang dana yang dimenangi, Nurul Shafiqah berkata, “Kita mahu menggunakan wang itu untuk operasi dan mbangunkan produk kami. Kami juga mahu habiskan aplikasi kami yang sedang kami buat.”

    Kini sedang diuji, PsychKick berharap untuk melancarkan ujian perintis apps itu hujung tahun ini. Syafiqah berharap setelah dilancarkan, aplikasi ini dapat menolong pesakit bukan sahaja di Singapura tetapi di luar negara.

    TEKAD TOLONG KANAK-KANAK SEDUNIA HASIL PENGALAMAN MERANTAU

    Muhammad Haziq Mohd Rashid dan Mohd Nasrul Rohmat, kedua-duanya pelajar sepenuh masa di Universiti Teknologi Nanyang (NTU), mendapat ilham di Jaisalmer, India, di mana kemahiran menghasilkan kraftangan kulit adalah kemahiran turun temurun penduduk di sana.

    Di kawasan berhampiran juga, mereka ketemui sebuah daerah perkampungan di mana ramai keluarga tidak mampu menghantar anak-anak mereka ke sekolah dek kemiskinan. Sekolah di kampung itu juga dalam keadaan serba kedaifan dan memerlukan kerja-kerja naik taraf.

    Dengan memanfaatkan bakat penduduk di situ, kedua-dua sepupu ini memasarkan barangan kulit berkualiti tinggi dan mesra alam dari Jaisalmer ke pasaran sejagat.

    Ini memberi mereka pendapatan tetap.

    Keuntungan selebihnya pula disalurkan bagi kerja-kerja naik taraf sekolah dan membiaya lebih 100 kanak-kanak di sekolah tersebut.

    NOMAD kini sedang meneroka pelbagai wadah untuk memperluaskan pasarannya dan meningkatkan penjualan beg-beg tersebut. Buat jangka masa panjang, NOMAD berharap untuk menolong masyarakat-masyarakat miskin di negara Asia lain.
