Hey , dun listen to the useless person , he talk cock sing song only .....

knn don't see their message not blood boil , see liao damn dulan .

you gotta understand, some yrs back they reduced e COE & road tax. But they jacked up the ERP rates.

Such formula wun even work. Back in the 1990s, road usage i.e. ERP was low, but road tax and COE was ex. So it became a deterrant to people to even think of owning 1 car. You own liao, using it would become natural.

Tat's why eventually gotta find a way to get more to take taxis, be it fare or somewhat the system.

Hell, the only "customer" I had when I was serving was the poor bugger who was trying to slow down my rounds.

Exactly. I'd be looking at the brother for a potential security breach.

Second, as GC or DO I would have been reprimanding the guard - for wasting that much time talking to this chick. All he had to do was say, "No IC no entry" and be done with it.

Third, the kid was most likely an NS man. He's one of the unwilling, going into the unknown to do the unnecessary for the ungrateful, and here you have a sanctimonious little peahen trying to justify her fuckup at the same time expecting service as if she was at a counter in Tangs instead of at the gate of a military facility. Really now, who owes who an apology?

"Medifund is an endowment fund set up by the Government to help needy Singaporeans who are unable to pay for their medical expenses. Medifund acts as a safety net for those who cannot afford the subsidised bill charges, despite Medisave and MediShield coverage. Set up in April 1993 with an initial capital of S$200 million, the Government will inject capital into the fund when budget surpluses are available. The Government utilises the interest income from the capital sum, which stands at S$1.66 billion (FY 2008), to help needy patients who have exhausted all other means to pay their medical bills."

It's good to show all these figures, but how effective is it?

If it's all that effective then this old lady and the old uncle won't have taken their own lives.

I also have an endowment fund to help the needy, those that are totally penniless, you believe me?

Actually those that qualify for these kind of endowment are probably to the extent of beggars (with no house or anything), it doesn't include those that have flats and jobs, which will probably end up bankrupt after being stricken by a terminal disease. That's why this old lady knowing that she will end up a financial burden took her own life. I would have done the same in Singapore. And they tell us that medical expenses are affordable in Singapore.

In the past, i never allow civilians into camp for such a reason except those who are driving into camp to fetch their spouse. Those who want to pass something to anyone, normally we call the person to come down to the guard room and they pass each other the stuff at the gate with the NSF inside camp and the civilian outside camp.

Anyway the person was doing his job and its just a matter of attitude which is mostly just going to get him a verbal warning only.

Not all BCs will have the same concept. But however, you still had to deal with those nasty BCs who are well-concerned and amazed about taking bus pixs. Please don't think that all BCs are very nice and courteous to you, sometime he might stop the bus (either at traffic junction or approaching the bus stop) and question you.

It's quite common to see china people who are in the not so sought-after jobs in Singapore. However, have you all seen rich china kids in Singapore? They are the ones where you would see in clubs and pubs every week. They are able to spend thousands on luxury goods every month.

Anyway, caucasians are not able to tell distinctly whether you are a Singapore chinese or a chinese from China.

The Hino on Express 521 was TIB950R. It was KJDEP 961 at start and placed on WLDEP 521 before joining its fleet of 188 in KJDEP

But then, btw I know one of its TIBS Nissan Civilian buses (forgot either PH1529D or PH1530Z) was converted into Singapore's first Zero Emission Electric Bus. when TIBS did the conversion of the minibus?

Most likely the SGT will just tell the boy to be more polite.

Actually passing something to a person who is staying in camp is not a valid reason to enter the camp, in the first place.

The boy may not study much so his language capability is limited. Forgive him blah.

lambo,

how many gold bars 99.99% pure can u get with money u are spending on your education to earn more money?how many gold bars!?

even after spending that kinda time and $$$ on education....do u think u would even get a job in spore with your distance learning degree??in the past it would be ok but there are a million foreigners in singapore...all with degrees from university of bangladesh to swatow mandarin orange university.yes...about a million or more and more coming in next year due to better economic prospects in spore!how much do u think your pay would be with a degree to mr loo from yangtze university who is willing to werk for $1500/month or free even for 3 months for company.big mnc would pay at least $2k/mth for 5 years experience if they keep hiring those from china,india,bangla,phiillippine etc etc university.

what about your 1 million fellow sporeans all from NUS,NTU etc with degrees too.what about those sporeans who went to europe,usa and canada for their degree?and what bout those older degree holders that are switching jobs?

and what about those other peoplle from malaysia...they also have good degrees from england and very good universities worldwide.then what about those wealthy chinese people from brunei and indonesia who studied RMIT and USA???

you have competitors WITH DEGREES from:

CHEAPER COUNTRIES-------CHINA ,INDIA,BURMA,PHIILLIPPINES,BANGLADESH(MOST SPEAK GOOD ENGLISH WITH SOME ACCENT...SOME WITH AMERICAN ACCENT...BUT THEY ARE STILL ACCEPTABL) 1.5MILIION DEGREE HOLDER PERHAPS

MODERATE COUNTRIES-------SINGAPORE,MALAYSIA,INDONESIA,BRUNEI(1MILLION ??)

DEVELOPED COUNTRIES-------USA AND OTHER DEVELOPED COUNTRIES(1000?)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHAT CHANCE DO U HAVE?CAN IT SEE TO IT YER EDUCATION WOULD BE WORTHWHILE AFTER ALL THE CASH SPENT ON IT?HOW IS YER RESUME GOIING TO BE RETRIEVED AT EACH MNC HUMAN RESOURCE OFFICE WHEN ITS FLOODED BY MILLIONS OF RESUME BY FOREIGN N DOMESTIC JOB APPLICANTS.YOU CAN ACTUALLY SWIM AMONGST THE RESUME IF THEEY ARE ALL FLUFFED UP AND THROWN INTO AN EMPTY SWIMMING POOL.

HOW MANY GOLD BARS ARE U GOIN TO BUY AFTER ALL THAT EDUCATION AND KNOWING FULL WELL THERE WONT BE MUCH OF A COMPANY INCREMENT EVEN IF THE BOSS TOOK OFF HIS PANTS AND SHOWED U HE IS SINCERE TO U AND STUFF.
