Smaller construction firms say many of them are struggling to retain enough employees to meet project deadlines, as more migrant workers job hop amid a labour crunch. An association that represents contractors says it is in talks with the Government to prevent transfers just for more salary. Clara Lee finds out more. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/watch/smaller-construction-firms-affected-more-migrant-workers-job-hop-amid-labour-crunch-video-2188696

Zhenghu wants to pawn sinkies. Pass on the cost to sh1tizens! why cant Zhenghu control these fw who wants to job hob during crisis period. same case as domestic workers. pmet who are on contract to work here, should finish the contract like everyone in pmets or else pay compensation or send them back and ban them for the rest of the contract period.

Whoever are around Tmn Daya area, pls take a lookout for this boy. Met him selling his mum’s home made kerepek and murukku while I was driving thru Tmn Daya’s McD yesterday. RM 5 per packet and it’s delicious. Very diligent boy. It was drizzling and yet he was walking from Subway to McD. Told him to choose something at McD that will be on me but he was very shy and said, “takpe aunty. Dah makan tadi, masih kenyang” I couldn’t probe further as there were cars queuing behind me & the car in front has left the food pick up counter. To us it’s merely RM 5 but to him it’s the income of the day for his family. Hoping many would support & buy from him if you just happened to see him here. Reminded him to also ensure his mask covers his nose properly for safety measures. I’ve asked for his mum HP number but he can’t remember. So, if anyone sees him the next time, pls remind him to write it down & put it in his bag. PM me the number & I can insert into this post. We hope there will be people that could buy in bulk & will ask for their kerepek to be supplied to some mini markets

Barely two weeks since its official opening, hawker stall Chef Kin HK Wanton Noodle has already been attracting hour-long queues. In one viral TikTok posted on Saturday (Sept 18), which currently has over 235,000 views, user sportyreub showed the snaking queue extending to a nearby sheltered walkway, jokingly writing: "Is it true Singaporeans love to queue?" More from AsiaOneRead the condensed version of this story, and other top stories with NewsLite. Started by 57-year-old Chan Wing Kin, the Hong-Kong style wanton mee stall has already made headlines thanks to Chan's illustrious F&B career. Formerly an executive chef at Crystal Jade, where he worked for almost two decades, the 57-year-old chef decided to hop into the hawker scene with a stall of his own. And business has been brisk — the stall opened for business on Sept 9 and sold a whopping 700 bowls of noodles on its first day. The menu consists of three main dishes: HK Wanton Noodle ($5), HK Dumpling Noodle ($5) and HK Braised Beef Brisket Noodle ($5.50) – all available with soup or dry. Additionally, the wanton and dumplings can be purchased as side dishes and even deep-fried. But even though Chef Kin HK Wanton Noodle has impressed many, it seems a few netizens think there's still room for improvement as mixed reviews about the food circulate online. While there are those praising the comforting taste and affordable prices, others expressed their disappointment, feeling it was simply not worth the wait.

The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) and a Bukit Timah restaurant have issued statements in response to feedback from a customer who alleged finding tissue paper in his hotpot. Stomper M said he visited Three Meals A Day, a Korean restaurant located at 12 Chun Tin Road, for dinner on September 11, at around 6.40pm. He recounted: "We ordered the Bulnak Jeongol, which consists of hotpot with beef bulgogi, octopus and vegetables. "We unknowingly bit down into something that was difficult to tear apart, and the soup juices absorbed by the said item released like a sponge. This was at around 7.10pm. "We realised that item was tissue paper/paper towel! There were two big pieces inside. "The manager apologised to us and offered to replace the hotpot soup. She reasoned that tissues were used to dab dry the raw seafood and must have been left inside the pot by the chef. "We agreed and also asked to replace the serving bowls. To our dismay, we found that one of the new serving bowls was sticky and greasy. When we attempted to wipe the grease off, our tissue got stuck in the bowl. "We were disgusted and asked to leave the restaurant. "The manager offered to give us a free replacement for the meal while insisting that her restaurant is certified "A" (presumably for cleanliness). Nevertheless, we left. M subsequently reported the matter to SFA. SFA said it inspected the restaurant upon receiving feedback. "We did not detect any infringements of our food safety and hygiene requirements during inspection. Nevertheless, we have reminded the operator to ensure that all food served is free of foreign matter at all times," SFA told Stomp: "Food safety is a joint responsibility. While SFA puts in place and enforces the regulatory measures, food operators must play their part by adhering to good food hygiene and preparation practices. "Members of the public who come across any potentially errant food operator should report it to SFA via the online feedback form. As part of the enquiry and gathering of evidence, SFA may engage the feedback provider for more details." SFA added that it will not hesitate to take enforcement action against errant food operators if it has obtained sufficient evidence. In response to a Stomp query, the owner of Three Meals A Day, said: "We are saddened to hear that our customer had an unpleasant experience in our restaurant. "However, we do not understand how the tissue ended up in the food. We have never used such tissue paper in our kitchen. There is no tissue paper involved in any process of cooking that food item as we keep all our ingredients using clean plastic bags. "We are not doubting the customer, which is why we apologised to the customer multiple times and offered a free replacement of the food item, but we are also confused about the situation. "We have explained to SFA, including the process of cooking, and had everything checked by them and confirmed that there is no tissue in our kitchen. "Again, we are sorry that our valued customer had an unpleasant experience but I hope you can understand we are equally confused about the situation. Thank you."

SINGAPORE - After 33 years, The New Paper will cease its print edition and go fully digital after Dec 10. The move is part of SPH Media Trust's mission to accelerate the digital transformation of newsrooms and to meet audience preferences in a rapidly changing media landscape. Going fully digital will allow SPH Media Trust to serve TNP readers better, said Mr Khaw Boon Wan, chairman of the trust, in an interview with The Sunday Times (Sept 19). "We have discussed and we have decided to let The New Paper pivot to be fully digital as soon as possible," said Mr Khaw. "In other words, we cease the print production, reform the newsroom, enhance their online presence, so that they can serve their readers, their audience much better round the clock." SPH Media Trust, a company limited by guarantee (CLG), will take over Singapore Press Holdings' media business by December. The CLG is a profit-making commercial venture with profits reinvested in the business. In May, mainboard-listed SPH had announced that it planned to hive off its media business to a CLG as part of a company-wide strategic review. Mr Khaw, the former coordinating minister for infrastructure and transport who had retired from politics in June last year, was named chairman of the CLG. Former SPH deputy chief executive Patrick Daniel was named its interim chief executive. On Sept 10, SPH shareholders approved the plan. Details of the transfer to the CLG are now being worked out. TNP was launched in 1988 to engage a wider segment of the English-language readership beyond those reading The Straits Times. Over the years, it established a reputation for its creative storytelling, engaging graphics and bold designs, as well as its sports, crime and entertainment coverage. TNP became a freesheet in December 2016, targeting the commuter crowd with distribution at 45 MRT stations from Mondays to Fridays. Staying true to its unique brand of storytelling, the paper hopes to better serve readers with a revamped website - tnp.sg - to be launched on Oct 25. It will continue to deliver human interest stories that are engaging and inspiring, as well as content that offers a unique street-eye view of life in the heartland.

Evergrande, China’s wobbling property developer, has found itself the subject of global concern and speculation as it seeks a way out of a tightening liquidity crunch and serious over-indebtedness. Analysts are talking about whether Evergrande will default on its debts, pay them off by generating cash through sales of its electric car and property management businesses, or face a bailout by the government. Evergrande’s problems are not small: the company has more than 70,000 investors and stalled construction on homes for over a million home buyers. Yet we can assume there will be other Evergrandes in the future due to structural flaws in China’s financial system. This is because Evergrande isn’t the problem; it’s a symptom of the problem. The main issue is over-indebtedness, created by a system in which risky entities are allowed to borrow for an extended period of time before facing a reckoning that threatens to disrupt social stability and harm investors and industry competitors. This occurred in China’s shadow banking sector in spades, as risky firms borrowed excessively for several years before receiving strong regulatory containment. This happened among state-owned enterprises in the wake of the Global Financial Crisis, as firms borrowed in order to build up infrastructure and stimulate the economy. The situation was allowed to run until the government initiated the deleveraging campaign in 2017. The real estate sector in particular has experienced rising prices over the past 20 years, creating an asset price bubble born of insufficient investment outlets for households and the desire to ensure ever-rising prices in order to maintain social stability. The government has attempted to dampen housing speculation and over-indebtedness among property developers. Regulators drew up the “three red lines” policy in 2020 to deleverage the balance sheets of property developers. The three red lines state that developers must have a liability-to-asset ratio of less than 70 percent, a net gearing ratio of less than 100 percent, and a cash-to-short-term debt ratio of more than 1. Developers have three years to implement this policy, which is likely to reduce developer over-indebtedness going forward. However, in the short run, investors, lenders, employees, and home buyers will experience some anguish. Investors have been demanding repayment on overdue financial products, and both investors and home buyers have engaged in protests across China as fear of default and nondelivery of completed homes mounts. What is unique about the Evergrande debacle, as compared to other bouts of debt destruction, is that the systemic risk now stems from one company. Indeed, the firm is so large and interconnected that it has been compared to Lehman Brothers and its collapse in 2008. While the U.S. and Chinese financial systems are vastly different, with government intervention in the financial system in China far from an exception, the comparison is accurate in that both firms engaged in irresponsible activities when times were good and later faced the specter of sudden illquidity when financial conditions deteriorated. In China’s case, the deterioration was to some extent self-imposed due to tightening restrictions on real estate firm indebtedness. There is also concern that a liquidity crunch and heightening risk could spread across financial markets, threatening the viability of banks with large loans to the real estate sector and dampening real estate asset prices overall. Already, the yield on an index of dollar-denominated junk bonds has climbed to about 14 percent. Increased financial fragility would have a contagious effect on the real economy by tightening financial conditions. https://thediplomat.com/2021/09/evergrande-is-a-symptom-not-cause-of-chinas-debt-woes/

https://asia.nikkei.com/Politics/China-s-military-has-an-Achilles-heel-Low-troop-morale?utm_campaign=GL_asia_daily&utm_medium=email&utm_source=NA_newsletter&utm_content=article_link&del_type=1&pub_date=20210920123000&seq_num=29&si=44594 China's military has an Achilles' heel: Low troop morale 'One-child army' more inclined to add unmanned aircraft and ballistic missiles Visible military muscle like missiles and tanks is only one component of power. Troop morale is another. © AP TETSURO KOSAKA, Nikkei senior staff writerSeptember 19, 2021 16:09 JST TOKYO -- The Chinese Communist Party has unintentionally revealed weaknesses of the country's military. One indication came with the building of facilities for launching new intercontinental ballistic missiles in an inland desert region. The other was a series of further attempts to increase childbirths, including measures to help reduce the costly burden of educating children. Behind these moves lurks evidence that the country is addressing concerns regarding troop morale and the military's ability to fight a sustained war. For nearly a decade, China has been busy in the South China Sea, first building artificial islands, then deploying radar equipment and missiles to deter foreign military aircraft and vessels from approaching the area, and finally deploying strategic nuclear submarines capable of launching ballistic missiles in the now-protected sea. Submarine-launched ballistic missiles, known as SLBMs, are the ultimate weapon. They allow nations to avoid being put in disadvantageous positions since the subs that carry them can remain in deep waters, keeping the enemy at bay, until the very end. So why is China rushing to build new ICBM bases in inland desert areas? Experts believe the reason lies in the fact that although China has militarized some waters in the South China Sea and deployed SLBMs, it no longer has confidence it can defend the area should conflict arise. In January 2018, a Chinese submarine humiliatingly revealed its lack of high-level performance. The submarine, traveling undersea in a contiguous zone of Japan's Senkaku Islands, in the East China Sea, was quickly detected by the Japanese Self-Defense Forces. It was quick to surface and unhesitatingly raise the Chinese flag, which might as well have been a white flag of surrender; the crew presumably feared their vessel could be attacked with depth charges. Under international law, the Maritime Self-Defense Force could have regarded the vessel as an "unidentified submarine" that had intruded into Japanese territorial waters while submerged. Many Japanese and U.S. officials believe the incident symbolizes the low morale of Chinese troops. A Chinese submarine raises what might as well be a flag of surrender after being forced to surface near Japan's Senkaku Islands in January 2018. (Photo provided by the Ministry of Defense) Chinese Communist Party governments have spent the past quarter-century increasing military spending and staging military parades and naval reviews. But visible might like missiles and tanks is only one component of military power. There are also invisible inputs, like troop morale. The Chinese navy has been working on an aircraft carrier program, but a former Japanese Ministry of Defense official predicts Chinese aircraft carriers will not leave their military ports in conflicts out of fear they might be attacked and sunk. Some believe that Chinese soldiers' low morale is attributable to the country's long-standing one-child policy, which has made the military one of the world's leading "one-child armies." "Over 70% of Chinese soldiers are 'only children,' and the rest are the second or later children whose parents had to pay fines to bear them," said Kinichi Nishimura, a former Ground Self-Defense Force officer who for many years has analyzed East Asia's military balance at the Ministry of Defense's Defense Intelligence Headquarters and elsewhere. The Confucianist view that children must respect and take good care of their parents and ancestors remains deep-rooted in China. As a result, parents are particularly reluctant to see their children die earlier than they do. Parents of one-child households must feel even more strongly about their only son or daughter becoming nothing more than a proverbial "nail." In China, where people tend to have little respect for soldiers, there is a saying: "Good steel does not become nails," meaning respectable individuals do not become soldiers. In order to ensure it can secure sufficient numbers of troops, the party has been working to improve salaries and pensions. On Aug. 1, the government enacted a law to protect the status, rights and interests of military personnel. This desperate effort to improve the patina of a military career might be a sign that the People's Liberation Army has not been able to turn around its recruitment efforts, especially in the face of the country's ebbing fertility rate. "The Chinese military has increased the deployment of battleships and fighter planes since a few years ago," Nishimura said, "but their operating rates are not exactly high. It seems they are unable to sufficiently train enough soldiers to properly maintain and repair" the high-tech hardware. This is partly why the Chinese military in recent years has come to rely more on unmanned aircraft and ballistic missiles. The number of ballistic missiles China deploys has increased to several thousand. One of the PLA's military doctrines not widely known, says, "In the initial battle of war, launch a large number of missiles and then immediately leave the front line." This strategy was picked up from the former Soviet Union, whose military played the role of teacher while China was forming the PLA. Over the past few years, the PLA has rushed to add more fighter jets, surface ships and submarines, which might indicate an intention to increase the number of missiles that can be launched when battles commence. Unmanned aircraft are thought to have the same purpose. This strategy will continue, especially when the military is not able to secure enough soldiers. To protect themselves from Chinese missile attacks, Japan and other nations must start thinking about enhancing measures to mitigate damage. These measures include developing and deploying next-generation arms, including high-energy laser weapons and rail guns, which use electromagnetic force to launch projectiles at extremely high speeds. Japan already has a technological foundation to develop these weapons, though this capacity is not widely known in the country.

tiongland also has a manufacturing problem. their metallurgy technology is at least 3 generations behind us, russia and germany. thats why cannot build jet turbine blade, composite armor or high tensile grade a military steel. wahhahahahahhahaha

how much murukku can sell now since its an impulse food???? maybe the mother shld sell kueh instead at the morning market, sure will have better business.

"It's definitely a relief that we can finally step out from Kuala Lumpur to a beautiful island," said the accountant. Although she had some concerns about the trip, due to COVID-19, she said it was worth it to relieve the pandemic's mental strain. "In the last year, it has been the shuttle between work and home for me. It has been the worst for my children. So it's great to finally get some fresh air," she said. Since Thursday, thousands of Malaysians like Khatijah and foreign residents have been streaming back to the island tourist haven that served as a backdrop for movies like "Crazy Rich Asians" and "Anna and the King." The government that day reopened the duty-free resort area to domestic travelers who have received two COVID-19 vaccine doses, in a pilot project aimed at reviving the tourism industry. All visitors are subject to virus tests before entry, which detected nine positives in the first two days. Industry watchers hope the Langkawi bubble will be a precursor to allowing interstate travel -- which remains restricted as the country fights a persistent wave of infections -- and ultimately international arrivals. The government has warned that it could reverse the Langkawi reopening if it proves too risky. But for now, businesses are simply relieved to see planeloads of passengers return. Visitors arrive at Langkawi's airport as the resort area reopens to vaccinated domestic travelers on Sept. 16. © Reuters David Macklin, general manager of the swanky Four Seasons Resort Langkawi, told Nikkei Asia that the hotel has seen a rise in reservations and inquiries since the reopening announcement was made. "Many of our guests are already making reservations for the fourth quarter of 2021," he said. "We are excited to see that the fourth quarter of 2021 will be our best quarter since the first quarter of 2020," Macklin said. "We also have reservations coming in 2022 already, and some of those are international tourists waiting for borders to reopen." The excitement is mixed with a sense of caution, however. Former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, who represents Langkawi in parliament, told Nikkei Asia that the reopening effort is to be welcomed but that the government should sharpen the regulations. "We need to improve the standard operating procedures further because the main issue I see among the tourists is a lack of social distancing, especially on flights inbound to Langkawi," the 96-year-old said during a walkabout to greet visitors and local residents. Mahathir and others look to Thailand's reopening of Phuket to vaccinated international travelers this year for lessons. The island subsequently saw a flare-up of COVID-19 cases, largely among local residents. "In Thailand, they opened and made their people too free to move while their [nationwide] vaccination rate was low," he said. Despite his concerns about social distancing, Mahathir said the Langkawi reopening was "more strict." Eugene Dass, a member of the Malaysian Association of Hotels board, echoed the need to draw on Thailand's experience. "It should be a lesson learned by all, both to the hotels and the authorities," he said. "As for hotels, we have put in place COVID-19 prevention and care measures and all hotel staff on the island are also fully vaccinated." Former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, who represents Langkawi in parliament, tours the area on Sept. 18 after it reopened to visitors. (Photo by P Prem Kumar) Still, the reopening of Langkawi to domestic visitors is a much-needed glimmer of hope for an economy that relies heavily on small and midsize enterprises, tourism and leisure. Malaysia's economy has not been fully open since its first cases of COVID-19 were detected in February 2020. The country's economic heart -- the Greater Klang Valley, which includes the capital Kuala Lumpur -- remains in the "recovery" phase, with all economic sectors allowed to operate at only half capacity. Unemployment has jumped since the initial movement control orders were imposed in March last year. As of August 2021, the rate stood at 4.8%, equivalent to about 770,000 people, according to the Department of Statistics. The country is still locked in a serious battle with COVID-19, with infections remaining close to 20,000 a day. As of Friday, total cases had surpassed 2 million with more than 22,000 deaths. On the other hand, Malaysia is making significant progress with vaccinations. The country is inoculating over 200,000 people daily and has given double doses to about 56% of its adult population, with 67% having taken one shot. That has allowed initiatives like the Langkawi reopening -- and allowed people like businessman Mokhtar Ibrahim to finally get away. Mokhtar is on a long-delayed honeymoon with his wife. The couple got married in January of this year, as COVID-19 cases surged in the country and enhanced movement controls were imposed. "We got married at home with our parents as witnesses. We thought we could use the money for our honeymoon, and we have been eagerly waiting for this opportunity," he said. "Thank God it's Langkawi and not some other place."
