Bus interchange Covid-19 clusters likely to be workplace transmission: Kenneth Mak https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/bus-interchange-covid-19-clusters-likely-to-be-workplace-transmission-kenneth-mak

We were quite impressed by the modern nasi lemak at Ah Lemak, opened last July by a pair of enterprising young hawkers in a Tampines kopitiam. So we were surprised to learn that barely five months in, the guys have called it quits. The sleekly decorated stall was helmed by professionally-trained chef Jason Koh (left in pic), 24, and ex-maritime engineer Cleavon Tan (right), 25. The former honed his skills as an intern for a year at The Dempsey Cookhouse & Bar, known for its contemporary European and American plates curated by America-based French celebrity chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten – skills which he translated into nasi lemak with atas flourishes like torched unagi and deep-fried soft-shell crab. All photos cannot be reproduced without permission from 8days.sg 1/4 Ah Lemak quietly closed its doors on Boxing Day Ah Lemak closed without fanfare on December 26. They followed up their closure with a Facebook announcement, thanking customers for their support while hinting at a future comeback. “We planned to exit quietly, but there were a lot of customers messaging us – so we want to let everyone know that we will be away for a while and will be back stronger,” Jason tells us. 2/4 The price wasn’t right for the location Despite having received a fair amount of media coverage – even selling out on several occasions – Ah Lemak lacked consistent day-to-day patronage from nearby residents, says Jason. He attributes the lacklustre business to the stall’s higher-than-usual price point – a plate at Ah Lemak went from $4.90 to $19.90 – and fancier dishes, which “wasn’t a good fit for residents in the area”. With reference to the stall’s Mala Chicken Thigh nasi lemak set, he says, “A lot of customers were like, ‘Huh? Wah, nasi lemak with one chicken thigh so expensive ah, $6.50?’ But on our end, we are giving one whole chicken thigh, which was actually very value-for-money.” As a rough comparison, another well-known nasi lemak joint in a Tampines industrial estate, Lawa Bintang, sells nasi lemak sets that range from $3.50 with a fried chicken wing, to $5 for a chicken thigh as well as a fancy $22 Lobster Nasi Lemak set. 3/4 “We haven’t been making a profit since day one” This lack of business also meant that the hawkers have yet to make it out of the red. “We haven’t been making a profit since day one. We have been losing, losing, losing all the way, so we decided to stop this stall first, move elsewhere and come up with something different,” Jason shares. He estimates that their losses total up to around $45K, including forfeiting the deposit of three months’ rent when they were unable to fulfill their contract. “We’d rather lose a few months’ deposit than continue hanging there and seeing all our hard work and effort wasted,” he says. Still, they are thankful for their customers thus far, which included “regulars from all over Singapore and some of the residents supporting and appreciating [their] food”. “We really appreciate all the regulars who sent us texts to motivate us and tell us that we can’t stop growing,” Jason adds. 4/4 They plan to return in March – but not as Ah Lemak The hawkers are confident that they can turn things around, as they’ll be dipping into more of their savings when they reopen in March next year – with a new concept, name and lower prices. “We have realised that with every cuisine, there’s a maximum price it can go up to [that customers will accept]. We’re going to change the cuisine we serve to something that people can afford, and are willing to pay for,” Jason says. While he remains tight-lipped about the new iteration’s exact concept and menu, he tells us that the cuisine will be “something he’s more experienced with”. Popular dishes like their deep-fried pangasius fish fillet and mala chicken thigh will make a return, along with coconut rice – but the concept won’t be nasi lemak, and the stall won’t be named Ah Lemak. Hmm, nasi padang or fusion cai png, perhaps? He hopes that this switch in concept, along with the stall’s new location in an “air-conditioned food court” in the “north-east” region of Singapore, will give their hawker biz a second wind. “We’ll continue to serve [our dishes] how we feel it’s meant to be served. [At the new stall,] the environment will be much better and there will be more young people, so hopefully they’ll be more willing to accept our food,” he says.

Pay not enough?

I guess i am too cheapskate to gamble! I have never been to SG casino. No compelling reason to.

There are various kinds of instant noodles on the market, convenient and cheap are the first choices of many people. However, a doctor in Taiwan recently revealed that a 24-year-old man asked for a colonoscopy when he went to the doctor. Since he has eaten instant noodles for more than three years to save money on meals, he has only recently started to experience symptoms of "frequent constipation". He was worried about the abnormality of his body. He didn't expect to find 3 "tumors" in the intestines after taking a photo. The crisis had already come to his door. According to comprehensive foreign media reports, Taiwanese hepatobiliary and gastroenterologist Chen Bingyun shared on the "Doctors Are Spicy" program that when the 24-year-old man asked for a colonoscopy when he went to see a doctor, the doctor was quite puzzled because he rarely helped 30 clinically. People under the age of underwent colonoscopy, and when asked, the other party said that because they were working in the field, they ate instant noodles for three years in order to save money. Until recently, they found frequent constipation and they were shocked to see a doctor. . Chen Bingyun said that the man was terrible after taking the colonoscopy. He really found 3 "tumors" in the intestines, one of which was close to 3 cm in length. The doctor also admitted that "this is rare in his 20s", and he also said afterwards. I hurriedly performed the operation, trapped the "tumor" and burned it out with an electric burner. However, after the doctor cut the "tumor" and sent it for examination, he found that some of the abnormally differentiated "tumors that are about to approach colorectal cancer" were found. If it is delayed for another six months , One year may really worsen to colorectal cancer, which is quite scary. Chen Bingyun said that fortunately, the man was conscious that he had to come for a checkup before it turned into cancer, so that he could escape the luck. The doctor also reminded not to neglect the small warning signs of the body, such as constipation for too long may be the large intestine." "Tumor" or colorectal cancer, recent studies have also found that the age of cancer continues to decrease, and it is also like gastroesophageal reflux. "After a long time, it becomes'Barrett's esophagus', which is an early factor of esophageal cancer. , It may also become esophageal cancer." As for the problem of bloating in the stomach for too long, doctors said that most of them are clinically inflammation, ulcers, and it may also be a precursor to pancreatic cancer. However, Chen Bingying also explained that it does not matter if the symptoms are more than 2 years, "because malignant things rarely remain unchanged for more than 2 years." What should be noted is the sudden change, which may fall within 3 months to half a year. Symptoms suddenly appear and disappear during this period, and you may need to be especially careful. https://www.orientaldaily.com.my/news/international/2022/01/04/459878

SINGAPORE: Over 10 years, a vice-president at United Overseas Bank (UOB) misappropriated about S$5 million from a customer who believed he was putting the cash into a nominee bank account. Ling Shek Lun, 66, instead pumped the money into a nail spa business venture by a partner, but gained nothing financially as it was not profitable. When his customer discovered in 2015 that the funds had been misused, he lodged a police report and later sued Ling for the return of the millions. Ling, who has since been dismissed by UOB, was jailed for nine years on Tuesday (Jan 4). He pleaded guilty to 20 charges of dishonest misappropriation by a servant and forgery of documents, with another 122 charges taken into consideration. The court heard that Ling worked for UOB from 1992 and was a vice-president-cum-customer-service-manager between 2004 and 2014 when he committed the crimes. His job scope included managing the daily operations and customer service, as well as growing the bank's business. The victim and his wife have been UOB customers since 1998, and maintained various accounts with Ling, who was their relationship manager around end-1998 to early 2000. At around the same time, another customer introduced Ling to a woman named Yong Ai Khim, who became Ling's business partner. Yong set up a nail spa business called Nailxpert - Your Ultimate Nail Spa in 2002, and Ling provided financial support for her business with the understanding that he would share in its profits if it became profitable. In 2004, the victim asked Ling for recommendations on nominee services provided by UOB, and Ling proposed that Ling's money could be held by UOB as nominee for him and his wife. The victim agreed, but he did not know that UOB did not provide such a nominee account service. He began passing Ling cash to be deposited into the purported nominee bank account with UOB, but Ling would pass the money to Yong instead. This went on for a decade, with the victim handing Ling £2.7 million and US$14,010 (about S$5 million), believing it would go into the UOB "nominee account". The victim would hand Ling the cash at the UOB branch he was working at, and Ling would ask Yong to collect the cash from him that same day or the next. Ling used time deposit accounts belonging to the victim's wife and another friend of Yong's to be used as pledge for Yong's overdraft facilities with UOB. Yong would withdraw funds from the overdraft facilities for her nail spa business, but the interest incurred became too high around 2012. Ling suggested that Yong offset the amount she owed to UOB by using the funds received from the victim. FORGED BANK DOCUMENTS TO INDUCE VICTIM INTO HANDING OVER MORE CASH Whenever the victim was in Singapore, Ling would hand him bank statements he had forged as proof that his cash had purportedly been deposited. Ling would lie to the victim that the account names and numbers were not shown on the statements due to the supposed nature of the account. In truth, he altered original UOB documents and statements by photocopying them and passing them to the victim to induce him into handing over more cash. He devised a template with UOB's physical letterhead on it and produced the bank statements in this manner, leading the victim to believe his funds had really been deposited into a special nominee account. In September 2015, the victim asked to transfer a sum of about £373,000 from UOB to his DBS bank account. Ling sent him an email saying he had misused the victim's funds, and the victim sent a lawyer's letter to UOB in November 2015 demanding access to his money. UOB conducted internal investigations and discovered the fraud, filing a police report against Ling in November 2015. The victim also filed a report the following month. In 2018, the victim and his wife sued Ling in the High Court for the return of the money. A judgment in April 2019 ordered Ling to pay the couple damages to be assessed, on top of interest and costs. VICTIM SUES LING FOR RETURN OF MONEY In January 2021, both sides signed a settlement agreement, with Ling agreeing to pay the victim about S$3.2 million in instalments over a 20-year period. So far, he has paid S$312,415. Deputy Public Prosecutor V Jesudevan asked for nine years' jail for Ling, saying that he faces "an enormous number of charges". "He has pillaged the victim's accounts to a tune of close to S$$5 million," he said. "Insofar as the complexion of what had taken place, there was deception - not just in terms of criminal breach of trust, but the use of forged documents." He said Ling should not be seen as a first-time offender given his numerous charges, and that public interest "looms large" in cases like these where employees of a bank misuse their positions to benefit themselves. Defence lawyer Tan Hsuan Boon asked instead for eight years' jail, saying his client fully regrets his actions and accepts full responsibility. "He is remorseful for his actions, although he did not gain any financial benefit from the arrangement, having handed all monies to Ms Yong," said Mr Tan. "He has made restitution within the humble and limited resources he has - he has agreed to pay the victims in instalments S$3.2 million over a 20-year period. Of that amount ... he has paid approximately 10 per cent." He added that his client was 66 and had medical ailments including hypertension, high cholesterol and severe obstructive sleep apnea, for which he is undergoing treatment. He also needs to use a CPAP machine to provide him with "continuous positive airway pressure as he sleeps at night", said the lawyer. A jail term may mean Ling spends the rest of his life in prison, he added. In response, the prosecutor said the prisons are equipped to deal with a variety of medical ailments. He added that if the defence's argument is true in terms of Ling possibly not surviving jail, it would raise the question of whether the 20-year period of repayment was a bona fide one. The judge said Ling's conduct cannot be condoned and that deterrence is necessary, agreeing with the prosecutor's suggested sentence. After he was sentenced, Ling asked the court if someone would inform the victim that the case was closed, as he still needs to pay him regularly on a quarterly basis. "But if I'm going in, I'm not able to make payment to him ... definitely he will be curious about that ... I'm just wondering, I don't want him to make a scene to my wife," he said. The prosecutor said Ling would have to make arrangements, as he is bound by his settlement in the separate civil suit. The judge said he would give a memo to the prisons about Ling's sleep apnea, to see if he could bring his CPAP machine with him subject to the prison's clearance procedures. Source: CNA/ll(zl)
