  13. SINGAPORE - Several StarHub users said they faced a host of log-in issues late on Jan 20, which meant they could not access the telco’s TV services. Speaking to The Straits Times, one user said she faced issues that stretched until the early hours of Jan 21, which meant her husband could not watch English Premier League (EPL) games. The two EPL matches scheduled for broadcast on Jan 20 on StarHub channels were between Arsenal and Crystal Palace at 8.30pm, and on Jan 21 between Brentford and Nottingham Forest at 1.30am. The user, who wanted to be known only as Ms Lim, said she called the StarHub hotline for help when her husband had experienced issues logging in to watch the EPL games. She said: “In the meantime, we tried to change our password, but the link to do so was not working. I waited at least 20 minutes to get technical assistance. Then, when I finally got through, I was told there was an overall problem.” “So we didn’t bother to try again after we were told it was an overall issue.” Ms Lim added that she asked the StarHub representative if EPL subscribers would be compensated, but he was unable to provide an answer. A screengrab from monitoring site Downdetector taken on Jan 21, 4.30pm showing StarHub outage reports. Reports of outages on monitoring site Downdetector reached a peak of 180 reports at 10.53pm on Jan 20 before easing to about six reports at 1.23am. However, the site registered another small spike of about 19 reports of outages at 1.53am, with about 10 reports at 2.53am before stopping at about 3.08am. The Downdetector portal said it “monitors and analyses signals from platforms in real-time to automatically detect incidents and service disruptions in their very early stages.” Other StarHub users who faced similar problems flooded a StarHub Facebook post with complaints about not being able to log in to their StarHub TV accounts through their TV boxes and apps. On Facebook, user Zack Lim on Jan 21 at 1.29am said: “Wasted 30 minutes of my life reconnecting all the hardware, restarting, trying to log in, again and again. Then took me more than 30 minutes waiting on the phone line to confirm the server is down!” A screengrab from a post on Starhub’s Facebook page with a customer’s complaint about the login issues. PHOTO: SCREENGRAB FROM STARHUB/FACEBOOK Another user Kakao Cheng, posting at 1.09am on Jan 21, said: “At least post to inform your users that TV services are down. Called StarHub customer care, waited for 30 minutes, then your agent tells me that there is an issue and to try logging into my TV box tomorrow.” Other users who aired their disappointment on the StarHub Facebook page said they were eventually told by a StarHub representative that there was an issue with the servers, after multiple attempts to rectify their log-in issues via restarting their devices and logging in again as instructed by the telco.

PHOTO: SCREENGRAB FROM STARHUB/FACEBOOK In response to queries, a StarHub spokeswoman said “some users faced intermittent log-in issues” and its team had “provided assistance promptly”. “There was no disruption to last night’s Premier League match. If there are anticipated network issues or scheduled maintenance, we do inform our users in advance”, she added.

  16. At 41, Nazib Saptu is living the less-spoken-of Singaporean dream. Not the one with the car and the condo; the other one, where he escapes the pressure cooker, packs his things, and moves 8,000km away to Auckland, New Zealand. Four years on, he has bought his first home: a three-bedroom house that he shares with his wife and two step-kids. He works four days a week, around 40-45 hours, and rests for the other three. While he declines to share his exact income, he earns "above NZD$70k" a year. (That's around S$58,000, or roughly S$4,800 a month. In case you were wondering.) It's a respectable, comfortable life. But the truth is that most of this would've been unthinkable in Singapore. After all, he was just 10 years old when he dropped out of school. Photo courtesy of Nazib Saptu A hard upbringing One of seven children raised by a single mum, Nazib was in primary school when he "felt that [he] needed to drop out of school and earn money". By 11, he'd started doing odd jobs. He delivered newspapers, cleaned swimming pools, and worked in F&B. "I didn't look back by going back to school again." While he worked, he trained in hopes of becoming a professional footballer. But his soccer career eventually ended due to a ligament tear. Photo courtesy of Nazib Saptu With his limited education and money, Nazib once again found himself cycling through a series of jobs: a pump attendant at Shell, a mailroom specialist at Singapore Press Holdings, a baggage handler at Changi Airport. But in 2020, he made the decision to whisk his wife and three kids off to a fresh start: over 8,000km away in Auckland, New Zealand. Driving trucks Starting over in a new country proved more difficult than he imagined. Finding work wasn't easy. He spent months searching and sent out "hundreds of emails" in search of a new job. "I waited maybe three to six months," he recalls. He eventually found a job as a tow truck driver, following in the footsteps of his brother, who taught him how to drive back in Singapore. Photo courtesy of Nazib Saptu But it was a mentally and physically draining job, made worse by the racism he'd face. "Sometime my life would get threatened by the gang members here. I would get bullied as well because of being Asian...you know, we're not big-sized," he explains. "But luckily I am strong mentally due to my hardship growing up since I was 10 years old." Furthermore, his then-wife was a homemaker. Nazib struggled to feed the family of five on one person's income. They eventually got divorced. And Nazib found himself alone in a foreign country, far from home. Settling down Fortunately, he has since settled down. He now works for a major transportation company, Northchill, driving "the nicest truck in Auckland". Photo courtesy of Nazib Saptu He also has benefits: union protections, a car, free petrol. "My boss, he loves me so much and whatever I want, he gives it to me," Nazib quips. All this he attributes to the different work culture in New Zealand, which he says is more flexible and respectful as compared to Singapore. "[In Singapore] they don't give you opportunities. They like to judge you. But in New Zealand, it's all about experience, it's about knowledge. It's not about like, oh, you got a diploma. If you got paper and no knowledge, they're gonna kick you out of the door." Photo courtesy of Nazib Saptu Apart from his success at work, he has also gotten remarried to a half-Singaporean local. "She fully supported me on my career as a truck driver even though I got no education...she believes in me," he said. "I myself couldn’t believe that without education, [she] agreed to marry me...she's my dream girl." Between Singapore and New Zealand While he is content with his life in New Zealand, Nazib is not blind to the difficulties of living here. Rent isn't cheap — around NZD$640 a week for a three-bedroom house — and eating out is expensive. "Nasi lemak here costs around NZD$18, chicken rice NZD$20," he elaborates. Furthermore, while the country has a laid-back culture, the crime rate is decidedly higher. "I'll be honest, you walk alone at night, sometimes you can get robbed," he says. And though New Zealand has become home, Nazib admits that he does miss Singapore. "We Singapore lah. So we miss the food, the friends...the football." (He added he still supports Singapore in football.) Neither has he ruled out the possibility of relocating back to Singapore. "I still keep my Singapore passport," he admits. "I'll be honest, my mum's still alive, and I have family there. So it's quite hard."

  23. Get a 40L convection oven first. Yeah, steam oven makes some food nicer - but in a pinch, you can add a tray with water in your convection oven, or cover up the top of your baking pan with foil or lid to trap in some of the moisture for steaming - then remove foil towards the end to dry/brown the surface on high heat But should also have a large air fryer - it cooks some stuff faster. But if you're batch cooking larger amounts, then th 40L oven is easier to handle.

  26. One Singaporean woman took her taste buds on an 'adventure' in Thailand, and landed herself in hospital. Taking to TikTok last Sunday (Jan 14), influencer Nicolette Wee said that she came across a stall selling freshly fried insects while walking around a night market in Bangkok. The 30-second video showed Wee buying a bag of grasshoppers - to try. "So thick, fat and juicy," she quipped. "Oh my gosh, the crunch and the legs were dangling out. I eat until shiok, legit." Wee said that she went back to the same stall for more creepy-crawly delights - this time a bag of silk worm larvae. "Why my office pantry don't have these kinds of snacks?" she added. But it turns out that Wee's digestive system might have had a "culture shock'. The Singaporean shared that she started having diarrhoea, and had to be admitted to a hospital. She later said that the hospital was in Singapore. Wee's video has since garnered over 290,000 views. In the comments, several netizens say that her trip to the hospital was not worth it. "Never eat their insects and seafood if you're travelling," a netizen said "Some of these insects have parasites," another added. AsiaOne has contacted Wee for more information. Raw food gave woman food poisoning In August 2022, a Singaporean woman had food poisoning in Phuket after eating some 'dancing shrimp' - a street dish consisting of fresh live shrimp marinated in spicy sauce and herbs. "The night after, we started vomiting continuously for six hours [and had] diarrhoea non-stop," she wrote in her TikTok video. To minimise the risk of getting food poisoning while on holiday, some tips include choosing thoroughly cooked food, sticking to boiled water or bottled drinks, as well as avoiding unpasteurised dairy products such as milk and cheese. Travellers can also consider packing anti-sickness medication, oral rehydration salts, anti-diarrhoea medication and antibiotics to self-medicate in the event of food poisoning.

  28. Air fryer is convection oven, just smaller and air movement higher relative to size and amount of food. You can use convection to air fry but have to stir the food more frequently and take longer to cook. If whatever you want to bake in convection oven fits in air fryer, you can get similar effect but need to control the temp and heating time by intervals. Basically it's controlling how much heat for how long.

  30. Amid the uproar over the switch to a new SimplyGo EZ-Link transit card in Singapore this past week, it is easy to forget what has been ailing the country’s contactless payments market and overlook the missed opportunities in the past two decades. The authorities have always selected technologies that may seem far-sighted but their implementation has often left users feeling confused, inconvenienced and let down. Why can’t Singapore’s contactless cards be as convenient and efficient as, say, Japan’s IC (integrated circuit) cards, like the Suica or Pasmo? You know, those handy contactless cards that you tap at a Tokyo subway gantry and also use to pay for a bowl of ramen after getting out of the station? Japan’s many IC card or prepaid transit cards can be used to pay for things at convenience stores, ramen shops and countless other places. SCREENSHOT: JR Hokkaido Railway Company website Thing is, Singapore’s old ez-link contactless cards had used the same Sony FeliCa technology, which included a secure chip embedded in the cards, from 2002 to 2009. Initially made for transit, this technology is fast. For millions of people commuting every day, a train station gantry is expected to open in milliseconds after they tap a card on it. So, why hasn’t Singapore’s ez-link card been as widely used here as its counterparts in Japan and also Hong Kong, where the Octopus card uses the same Sony technology? Fragmentation is the answer. Back then, the company Nets, which is owned by major banks in Singapore, already had a stored-value card that was used mainly by drivers to pay road toll. Unsurprisingly, they also wanted to get into the contactless card game. The prize was similar to both backers of ez-link and the Nets CashCard – a cut of the spending you’d make on these stored-value cards. The problem was these two cards were not interchangeable. So, some shops near train stations might accept an ez-link card but other retailers might only take your CashCard. Who wants so many cards? So, in a bid to harmonise everything, the Singapore government in the 2000s decided to come up with a local standard called Cepas. Dumping the FeliCa chip in 2009, it aimed to make future contactless cards from both Nets and EZ-Link compatible. In other words, you could use your ez-link card to pay for ERP (electronic road pricing) charges and also a CashCard to take a train. Despite small issues – like some carparks not accepting the new cards – Cepas worked. Unfortunately, if you thought this would solve the biggest problem – fragmentation – it sadly didn’t. Since both Nets and EZ-Link had wasted the years of head start they had in the market, many other players muscled in. You soon had credit card companies offering contactless payment at cafes, supermarkets and other retail joints, essentially negating the need for a CashCard or ez-link card. In no time, Singaporeans got used to waving a credit card at readers. At the same time, mobile phones became more secure and able to safely keep sensitive data like your card information onboard. These gadgets would become e-wallets, through apps like Apple Pay or Google Pay/Wallet. Why bother with a contactless card unless you need it to pay for road toll or train rides? And that is where we are today. Essentially, the SimplyGo EZ-Link system works in a similar way to your credit card or e-wallet apps. It uses a standard created by EMVCo, a consortium of credit card companies including Visa, Mastercard, American Express and others. There is an important difference from past contactless cards. With this technology, your new SimplyGo EZ-Link card doesn’t hold a stored value on its chip but instead just your account information that is checked when you tap it on a gantry. The gantry then reconciles with a server online to confirm that your card is valid and also other information like where you have entered from and will eventually exit (thus calculating the fare). Unfortunately, this means it can’t instantaneously show the stored value on your card since the card no longer holds a stored value onboard. That information, like your bank or credit card account, is online. To fetch it and display it on a gantry takes a few seconds – too much of a wait at peak hour. On the flip side, the new system adds flexibility – you can remotely top up the card with an app, even cancel it if you misplace the physical card. Plus, this opens up a lot more payment options. Already now, you can use your credit card or phone wallet (tied to a credit card) to pay for your trips. No more paying a deposit for a stored-value card that expires every few years. However, as many have pointed out, the new system has a critical issue – it doesn’t show you on the large screen at the gantry how much you have left on your SimplyGo EZ-Link card. This may seem a small matter to the Land Transport Authority, which probably believed that people can check later either at the station or through an app, but clearly it has underestimated the wish for a receipt. People want to feel they are in control, of not being overcharged. Yet again, the authorities have chosen a more flexible technology that is future-ready but it seems they should have spent more time managing the transition and perhaps explaining their decisions. Could Singapore have taken a different route, like in Japan, to make such payments more common? It’s hard because of some lasting issues – fragmentation, plus a small market. Note that Japan has stuck to its FeliCa technology instead of a similar account-based technology that Singapore has gone with. How is it Japanese users can tap their phones at a gantry to get out? That’s because most Japanese phones come with a FeliCa chip, which is similar to having a physical contactless card on your phone. Integration is key here. In recent years, the FeliCa standard has also been opened up to some international users, in particular, Apple iPhone owners who could pay with their phones when visiting Japan. So, the standard is evolving from one being used in a stored-value card to more “regular devices” not made specially for Japan. This is now possible as long as there is a “secure element” – like a virtual vault – in a phone that meets the Japanese requirements. Why can’t Singapore have this? For one, the market is too small to mandate that phone makers add a smart chip in all the models shipped here. It’s not for want of trying, though. Just a few years ago, Singapore also tried something similar with a smart SIM card that acted like a stored-value chip on a phone. Yes, similar to what’s used in Japan’s FeliCa. Unfortunately, that was short-lived. To change to this advanced SIM card that held a virtual ez-link card in it, telecom operators would charge you a fee of more than S$30, plus an activation cost. The app interface for that was also a little basic. Without critical mass behind it, who wanted to spend time developing software for it? So, the latest woes with SimplyGo EZ-Link are yet another reminder why contactless payment has been such a downer in Singapore, even as it has taken off elsewhere. Thanks to a fragmented market early on with Nets and EZ-Link, the country didn’t take advantage of the head start that it had from adopting the right technologies decades ago. And having failed to ignite any mass adoption outside of transit like in other places, the authorities now have to turn to a more flexible system that opens up new payment options. The downside, as is clear this past week, is that consumers have been asked to switch to a new system while important issues remain. Could the authorities have let the existing cards expire before deciding to shut down the old system, which has run alongside this SimplyGo one since 2019? And how is it that concession cards used by students and seniors don’t need changing out? Without good answers, citizens will think the authorities are just pushing ahead with digitalisation, cutting costs for themselves without considering the costs to consumers. That’s not going to win them over.

  33. SINGAPORE: The glass doors of candy and confectionary store SGFR in Wisteria Mall constantly revolve with a steady stream of customers. Most are in school uniform, and there are excited whispers as they browse a bountiful selection of imported candy, cookies and chips. But it is the fridge at SGFR's newly-opened fifth outlet which sees the most action. Here, the colourful bottles of the Prime Hydration drink are the main draw. They come in a variety of options such as Blue Raspberry, Metamoon and Lemon Lime and student prices for some flavours start from S$7.50 per bottle. But SGFR have competition on their hands. In a widely shared Facebook post earlier this week, supermarket chain NTUC FairPrice announced it was selling several flavours of Prime Hydration at selected FairPrice Finest outlets. "We are dedicated to staying ahead of consumer trends by sourcing products from the US and Europe," a spokesperson told CNA. Created by social media influencers and YouTubers Logan Paul and KSI in 2022, Prime has skyrocketed in popularity since. The brand's first offering was Hydration, a sports drink which is caffeine-free and contains coconut water and electrolytes. It eventually rolled out its Energy line which is sold in cans and has been known to have high caffeine content. THE CELEBRITY FACTOR One reason behind Prime's rise is the "significant promotion" from influencers, said Dr Dianna Chang, a senior lecturer of marketing at the Singapore University of Social Sciences. These individuals wield influence over today's consumers, particularly the young, she added. Logan Paul (left), and KSI pose for a photographer as they promote Prime whilst on an open top bus traveling through London, Friday, June 17, 2022. (AP Photo/Scott Garfitt) And with huge global fan bases adding up to nearly 50 million subscriptions, Briton KSI and American Paul have the perfect launchpad for a viral product, said Ms Sau Yee Leung, a senior lecturer at Singapore Polytechnic's school of business. "They also have a foot in various areas teenagers are passionate about, from boxing, gaming to music and more," she explained. Advertisement "Everyone wants to be part of the conversation around Prime to be seen as the in' crowd. Influencers and celebrities sharing their own content when they get their hands on Prime drinks create further virality." Dr Samer Elhajjar, a senior lecturer of marketing from the National University of Singapore's Business School, noted that Prime's marketing strategy has thrived on viral content from daring stunts to collaborations with notable athletes. Prime has signed deals with footballer Erling Haaland, American football quarterback Patrick Mahomes and mixed martial arts champion Israel Adesanya among others. It has also partnered with big football clubs like Arsenal and Barcelona. "For some kids, Prime is not just a drink – it is a connection to their favourite influencers, a way to feel part of a cool group, and a chance to show off their style. That special feeling makes them willing to pay a bit more for it," said Dr Elhajjar. "Prime also builds a community through active engagement with fans by KSI and Logan Paul to foster loyalty, while the occasional controversy and negative feedback generate additional attention, contributing to Prime's hype." Teenagers who spoke to CNA said it was not uncommon to see their peers bringing Prime Hydration bottles to school. "I have a friend ... he would do anything just to get one Prime bottle," said Cyrus Daryoush. "He was willing to pay someone S$20 for an empty bottle." Cyrus was first introduced to Prime by a neighbour. After trying a few flavours, he too became a fan. "Last year I bought them and I still have some bottles in my fridge right now ... (I am) savouring it, every last drop," added the 11-year-old, who saves pocket money to buy the drink. A display of Prime at Fairprice Finest. (Photo: CNA/Matthew Mohan) EXCLUSIVITY, COLLECTABILITY SGFR started out as an online fishing store called SGFishingRigz. But in December 2022, Mr Mohammed Haikkel and his other co-founders started bringing in cartons of Prime Hydration. "It was a trendy item in the USA. We were not sure if it would sell as it was quite expensive for us to acquire. We were hoping that the drink will attract more people to SGFishingRigz so that they could purchase my fishing items," he told CNA. After Mr Haikkel and his team made a TikTok video announcing they would carry the drink, all the bottles were sold the next day. That was the catalyst for SGFR pivoting its business model to selling international snacks, said Mr Haikkel, who is 21. At SGFR's Wisteria Mall shop, a 13-year-old who bought a few flavours of Prime Hydration said that he had saved up part of his monthly allowance to do so. The plan was to add the new bottles to the existing collection displayed in his room. Prime Hydration's Blue Raspberry and Metamoon flavours. (Photo: CNA/Eugene Goh) Mr Haikkel noted that the collectability of Prime Hydration is another key draw for consumers as the bottles have different "rarities". For instance, a bottle of Prime Hydration Lemonade Venice Beach Exclusive Edition, which contains an image of Logan Paul and KSI, was made in limited quantities and distributed at a pop-up event at the Los Angeles location. It costs S$350. "The deliberate scarcity and limited availability of Prime also contributed to a sense of exclusivity, fostering a hunt for the product and amplifying its popularity through word of-mouth and social media," said Dr Elhajjar from NUS. Creators of the drink have also added features to certain flavours, with the "Glowberry" bottle for example said to glow in the dark. All of which make Prime drinks "fun and unique for consumers", said Mr Haikkel. "It makes them look forward to the next flavour as KSI and Logan Paul are always introducing new features. Overall, Prime Hydration is very different from a typical beverage drink." Some, like Cyrus and a 29-year-old who only wanted to be known as Shah, said some flavours of the drink taste good. Shah added he liked that the drink was different from other sports drinks like Gatorade, and that he liked to choose from new options. But there are also former fans who are now moving on from Prime. "I used to like it, but now I don't really like it," 11-year-old Deen told CNA. "Because it is very expensive, and sometimes it doesn't taste nice, (and) tastes like medicine." THE FAIRPRICE EFFECT Will Prime's appeal and apparent cool factor be dampened by its availability at a mainstream retailer like FairPrice? Experts said it remains to be seen. "This depends on how widely the drink is stocked among FairPrice outlets. There is some control to restrict availability. (It) also depends on if the brand can sustain interest and purchase intent among its customers," said Dr Boey Yew Tung, a senior lecturer at Nanyang Technological University's business school. NUS' Dr Elhajjar said FairPrice's involvement has the potential to further fuel the hype around Prime. "With its extensive network of stores across Singapore, FairPrice could significantly expand the reach of Prime, exposing it to a wider audience that might not have previously been aware of the product," he added. But given that some of the high price tags associated with Prime are partly a result of its limited availability, the standard retail price offerings at FairPrice might also diminish the drink's value or "mystique", making it seem less special, said Dr Elhajjar. "If FairPrice regularly stocks Prime, it may become easily accessible to a broader audience, diluting the sense of exclusivity and reducing its allure." Ms Sau from SP said: "If FairPrice does not bring in the product, another supermarket chain might. Given the hype around the Prime brand, FairPrice would definitely benefit as one of the first retailers to bring in the product." When CNA visited Wisteria Mall's FairPrice Finest, a display of Prime Hydration took centre stage at the supermarket's entrance, with a crowd of youngsters eyeing the drinks. SUSS' Dr Chang said a traditional supermarket like FairPrice offering a "trendy product" could revitalise the NTUC brand's image and attract a younger audience to the store. "However, it also comes with certain risks, particularly because the brand has a controversial reputation. This controversy primarily revolves around caffeinated products, which may not be suitable for children. While FairPrice exclusively sells non-caffeinated variants, there's a concern that the brand's association with the controversial product may negatively impact the supermarket's overall image," she said. Replying to queries from CNA, FairPrice said response to the Prime drink at its Finest stores has been "overwhelmingly positive, resulting in outstanding sales". "There are plans to introduce new flavours for our valued customers while we monitor demand," a spokesperson said. "We remain committed to sourcing these trendy products and beverages from reputable suppliers to ensure that prices are competitive and reasonable." Mr Haikkel said SGFR was "not very concerned" about FairPrice selling Prime and that this competition was something they had anticipated from the start. Retailer Mustafa also sells Prime Hydration. "I think it is great that NTUC brought in Prime. There’s so many flavours of Prime. NTUC is allowing them to try the six basic flavours. It gives people in Singapore more access to the drink," he said. Limited edition bottles of Prime sold at SGFR. (Photo: CNA/Matthew Mohan) He added that SGFR's student prices for Prime's four basic flavours is "not far off" from NTUC's pricing of S$7.40 for the six basic flavours it currently sells. SGFR's non-student prices for Prime start from S$10. "We are committed to avoiding price wars and focusing on being pioneers in introducing new international products," said Mr Haikkel, adding that SGFR would also continue to explore "new concepts" and "innovative offerings". SGFR's regulars said they would continue to patronise the shop, even if they do purchase Prime from FairPrice Finest. "If I'm not mistaken, NTUC only has common ones," said Shah, the 29-year-old. "(These ones) are like a bit more 'atas' (high class)." Source: CNA/mt(jo)
