Actually since they allow ppl go back work liao should jz allow these operators to reopen but must stringent cleansing process + mandate inject vaccine.. they have been closed 1fugging yr and the operators nid earnings to pay the workers long term .. Those aunties at NTUC squeezing to buy groceries is more dangerous than ginnas/btss singing ktv,.

classic example of stock manipulation. confirm sure have someone bot up stock and calls b4 starting the media frenzy. and enough kgks follow. really kumgongness has no cure.

SINGAPORE - When a pilot scheme to reopen karaokes and nightclubs was announced last November, it was a ray of hope for Mr Bryan Ong. His nightclub, Ipanema World Music Bar in Orchard Towers, had been closed since March, when the pandemic broke out. Mr Ong, managing director of the club's parent company Strumm's Holding, said: "When we heard about the pilot... I knew that it was something I had to try and take as the first step. We wanted to give confidence to the authorities that nightlife could be something workable." The pilot programme would allow up to 25 nightlife establishments to reopen under stringent safe management measures, such as masks to be worn even on the dance floor or while singing. Despite the stringent measures, several like Mr Ong felt it was worth a shot if it would lead eventually to the industry reopening. Mr Ong pumped in about $10,000 to $15,000 and took a month to prepare the premises for the pilot, which was to have started this month. He spent about $4,000 to install closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras to cover his premises adequately, and made sure he had enough storage to retain the footage for at least 28 days, one of the requirements for the pilot. He also rented a warehouse to store excess furniture from the premises, bought sanitation equipment, and recalled some of his workers as he predicted extra manpower would be needed to enforce safe management measures. But a day before the pilot was slated to begin, Mr Ong received news that it had to be put on hold due to a spike in community cases. On Jan 19, the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) and the Ministry of Home Affairs deferred the pilot until further notice. Mr Ong said: "My heart sank. I didn't expect it at all, especially after all the strict measures put in place - masks on, and having patrons test for Covid-19. The vaccines were also being rolled out progressively, and the country was starting to reopen." He has decided to focus on his two other food and beverage (F&B) businesses while waiting for the pilot to resume. Other disappointed operators told The Sunday Times they had hoped to make the pilot work, which would have paved the way for the industry reopening. Many had invested a significant amount in preparing for it. Mr Bryan Ong pumped in about $10,000 to $15,000 and took a month to prepare the premises of Ipanema World Music Bar for the pilot. ST PHOTO: JASON QUAH Mr Caine Poon, managing partner of Cash Studio Family Karaoke in Clarke Quay, said the business spent about $12,000 to $15,000 to get ready for the pilot. Foreseeing pent-up demand, the operator had jumped at the opportunity. Mr Poon said: "It's actually very scary now because there is no definite timeframe. It's this uncertainty that will kill everybody and kill nightlife. Being entrepreneurs, instinctively we are always optimistic people. The problem is that no one knows." Operators said they now plan to either pivot temporarily to other businesses or wait it out as they cling to the hope that the pilot programme will resume in a few months, especially with vaccinations beginning in earnest. Like Cash Studio, another karaoke joint in the pilot, Sing My Song Family Karaoke, is now operating a cafe to sustain itself while waiting for approval to reopen. But both karaoke businesses said their F&B concerns were making losses. Mr Frank Per, owner of Sing My Song at Paya Lebar Quarter, said: "I was really excited when I heard about the pilot. It was a better option than sustaining an unprofitable F&B business. It's a good start for everyone in the industry, and if you don't try it out, you will never see the results." He had invested close to $8,000 buying extra microphones and sanitisation equipment, as well as installing CCTV cameras. He is worried about the future, with Sing My Song's second outlet having opened shortly before Covid-19 hit. Mr Per said he is now considering winding up, and added: "We're now in complete darkness and totally lost on whether to continue. Rental takes up a large portion and it's difficult to get support from landlords because they are also losing faith." Operators, however, said they understood the pilot had to be suspended in order to keep people safe, and acknowledged that public health was a more important priority for now. Most are now trying to negotiate rental agreements with their landlords. While some operators are considering closing down, they are looking at it as a last resort. Mr Ho Ming Shun, owner of Kloud Karaoke, said he owes nine months of rent to his landlords. Echoing concerns of other karaoke operators, he said: "Emotionally, it is very tiring. But financially, it doesn't make sense to exit yet because a karaoke is a very capital-intensive business, you have to tear down all the rooms and it cost a lot to set up the place." Last year, 138 nightclubs, discotheques, dance clubs and karaoke lounges wound up, compared with 115 in 2019, according to the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority. A total of 81 entities joined the trade last year, compared with 252 in 2019. An MTI spokesman said agencies will assist the operators, and the ministry is working closely with them on the next steps for their businesses. Mr Frank Per, owner of Sing My Song at Paya Lebar Quarter, said he is now considering winding up. ST PHOTO: CHONG JUN LIANG She said: "They may choose to pivot or exit with the government support provided to the nightlife industry, or wait for the pilot to commence at a suitable juncture." Ms Tay Eu-Yen, an executive committee member at the Singapore Nightlife Business Association, said that while she believes the nightlife industry will pull through ultimately, this rough patch will take a toll on the smaller players. Ms Tay, who is also a lawyer specialising in entertainment and hospitality at Providence Law Asia, said: "Options such as pivoting or exiting need to really be seriously considered. Operators need to face the reality that the pandemic is not going to go away that quickly, and even if we do slightly reopen in the near future, the reopening is not going to be an overnight re-entry into a pre-pandemic world."

Ah why nobody comment on the good look jiao meh??? EVerybody got computer notebook but yellow bird use notebook! Damn low tech siah! Wake up "Big Bird"!!!

They bred engineers then changed the direction of the economy. They bred software developers then changed the direction of the economy. They bred bio engineers then changed the direction of the economy. Now they are scraping the barrel with hawkers. Moral of the story, whatever the government is trying to encourage, don't do it, it will fuck up your life.

Shao, who suffers from high blood pressure and heart disease, was told by his doctor to sleep with a ventilator to prevent a sudden cardiac arrest. “Don’t worry, I am alright. You can go,” Shao tells the adorable dog in the clip. golden retriever “Whenever I put on the ventilator, the dog seems to have sensed something, like he knows I'm sick,” Shao said. “He would only get up when I wake up,” the owner added. “I’ve never seen such a smart dog. He's not my real family but he is like one.” Social media users could not get enough of Mao Mao. "Dogs know everything like humans! They are truly our family," one commenter wrote.

wait what? u no see before cockroach jiak ice koleong?

if SS can give 20% profit as it profit is bonus of up to 16month, i wonder if ntuc give 20% as bonus i wonder how many yr of profit for staff nvm wait their profit margin is small. quote: heng Siong’s gross profit margin is somewhere in the high 20s, what are your margins like at NTUC FairPrice? SKP: Well, when it comes out, you will see it. (Laughs) We are not a listed company, and as I said, profit maximization is not important for us. Building a sustainable business is important. How we use the profits we make is also important to us because this is part of our DNA... even setting benchmark pricing. Being the market leader, that is a rule that’s expected of us and we do it to the best that we can. Sometimes, people asked me, “Is NTUC FairPrice too big?” I always answer that question by turning it around and say, “If there is no NTUC FairPrice, will the community and Singapore be better off?” I leave that for the public to answer that themselves. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/05/18/cnbc-transcript-seah-kian-peng-group-ceo-fairprice-group-group-ceo-ntuc-enterprise.html

I'm surprise the SEC never halt trading and look into this

allow me to share abit of sgp's economic history. there was actually a plan to develop a sgp semicon industry back in the 1970s, same time as with taiwan. the initiator of the plan was most likely GKS during his time as minister of defence, where he also oversaw dso and chartered industries (present ST Engineering). however, Ah Gong decided to retire the old guards by the mid 1980s and let lao goh take over by the late 1980s. this resulted in a change of economic focus from industrial to property speculation. and as they said, the rest is history.

I really regret not not going to taiwan and japan when i was given the opportunity while working in semicon industry. Stupid of me thinking that sg will develop up the semicon as there was long term benefits.

Burial grounds are more an issue then Columbariums! It all depends on whether burial ground exhumation are done properly? Under layer soil movements can cause "plot" sifting! I read sometime ago some burial ground, soil movement caused the remains/bones to sift from 1 plot to another. I think it was reported in some chinese newspaper on burial ground exhumation. Not all skeletons recovered are accounted for or wrongly identified aka bones belong to someone else.

Makeup with corpsepaint got count?

Cecaland?

Good night.

All data are controlled by Poopies. 2/3 mandate gives them full control of whether they feel like responding to Oppo questions! If no hard evidences, Nobody can prove anything! Otherwise, kanna sue until pants drop!

and oppo jokers still sleeping on the job. now is a good time to pawn loong loong gao gao and show the public some leadership.

Personally don't think it's a good idea to keep spirits around like that, just for info.
