A woman was left shell-shocked by the measly portions in her $6 meal from a food court in Toa Payoh. Stomper IK visited the spinach soup stall at Koufu food court in HDB Hub on Apr 9. She ordered a set of Signature Spinach Soup, which came with various ingredients including scallops, for $6. IK told Stomp: "At this price point, I would not expect good quality seafood. But the picture speaks for itself. "When I showed the photo of my meal to the staff at the counter, he pointed to the bits in the spoon and asked me, 'What is that?' "I told him those were the scallops that he gave me. That was when he started to get defensive and said scallops come in various sizes, some small some big. "I told him it was ok but they should let customers know that they have smaller scallops today. He said they cannot tell all their customers." According to IK, the stall vendor told her to "go ahead and lodge a complaint", and then asked her to leave. She added: "I want to point out that we are understanding of the high costs for rental and food ingredients that hawkers have to deal with. However, they should be transparent about the food portions that they are serving their customers. "Are high costs and inflation an excuse for unethical business conduct?"

I rather move back to TPY having stay there almost 20 years. Food and prices are better than slumkang.

(Bloomberg) -- Singapore’s economy expanded slower than economists forecast, as a spending boost from increased tourism spurred by Taylor Swift concerts failed to offset a decline in manufacturing output. Gross domestic product grew 0.1% in the quarter ended March from the prior three months, according to advance estimates Friday from the Ministry of Trade and Industry. That was slower than the median 0.5% gain forecast by economists in a Bloomberg survey, and follows the 1.2% pace in the three months ended December. On a year-on-year basis, the economy expanded 2.7% last quarter. Services producing industries grew 1.2% on a sequential basis, while manufacturing and construction contracted 2.9% and 1.7%, respectively. Trade-reliant Singapore’s non-oil exports have fallen in 10 out of the past 12 months. It had declined in February while factory output jumped and services sector showed relative strength. Finance Minister Lawrence Wong had, in February, said the external environment has “darkened dramatically” while an aging population at home also poses challenges. https://www.yahoo.com/news/singapore-economy-expands-slower-expected-000000694.html

Terence Tan, a longstanding member of the Workers’ Party, has confirmed his departure from the party as of January this year, citing personal reasons. Despite his exit, Tan remains a staunch supporter of the party and its principles. Speaking to 8world News, Tan, who is now 52, explained that his decision to leave the Workers’ Party was driven by a desire to spend more time with his three young children and to focus on his career and explore other opportunities. He made it clear that he had no intentions of joining another political party or returning to the political arena. Tan highlighted the demanding nature of political and grassroots involvement, especially noting that his wife, He Ting Ru, is a serving member of the Workers’ Party as the Member of Parliament for Seng Kang GRC and her commitments have significantly consumed her time. He expressed concern that if he were to be elected in the next GE, it would leave little room for both to be present for their children. The next GE, while not due November 2025, is anticipated to be held in the latter part of this year. Tan remains supportive of the Workers’ Party and its leadership, who have respected his decision to resign and have thanked him for his years of dedication and contribution. “I have spent more than a decade assisting the Workers’ Party and hope to see new talents rise within the party. The party is in good condition, with many capable members and new faces. At over 50 years old, I wish to pursue other personal interests unrelated to politics,” Tan shared with 8world News. Tan, who had been volunteering with the Workers’ Party since late 2011, was a candidate for the party in both the 2015 and 2020 General Elections. He contested in the Marine Parade GRC and East Coast GRC, respectively, though he was not elected in either. On the Workers’ Party’s website, Tan once shared his motivation for joining the party, reflecting on his shock upon returning to Singapore and witnessing elderly people scavenging through trash, contradicting the prosperous image of Singapore he had described to friends abroad. Currently, Tan is a director at Robertson Chambers LLC. https://gutzy.asia/2024/04/11/terence-tan-leaves-workers-party-to-focus-on-family-and-career/

Feeling down? Many people would still head to work but the staff at this company in China can take "unhappy leave". They can request for 10 days of additional leave, announced Yu Donglai, the founder and chairman of Pang Donglai, a retail giant in Henan that runs department stores and supermarkets. "I want every employee to have freedom," said Yu at the 2024 Supermarket China Week last month. "Everyone has times when they're not happy. So, if you're not happy, don't come to work." Staff should be allowed to determine their own rest time and have sufficient relaxation outside work, he explained. "This leave cannot be denied by management. Denial is a violation," Yu added. The retail tycoon is known for introducing employee benefits that prioritises work-life balance, South China Morning Post reported. Some of the benefits include: only working seven hours a day, having weekends off, getting 30 to 40 days of annual leave. Last year, Yu condemned bosses in China that push for long working hours. "Making staff work overtime is unethical and an expropriation of other people's opportunities for growth," he said. Pang Donglai, founded in 1995, has over 30 outlets in Henan. When asked about the future of his company, Yu said: "We do not want to be big. We want our employees to have a healthy and relaxed life, so that the company will too." Yu's employment policies have since received much praise and support on Chinese social media. "Such a good boss and this company culture should be promoted nationwide," one wrote on Weibo. Another netizen said: "I want to work at Pang Donglai. I feel like I would gain happiness and respect there." The company's employment policies also got the nod from China retail bigwigs such as Alibaba founder Jack Ma and Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun. "Yu's policies stimulate a new way of thinking among retailers in China and serve as an example for Chinese enterprises," Ma said. https://www.asiaone.com/china/not-happy-dont-come-work-boss-china-gives-staff-10-extra-days-leave?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook#Echobox=1712818689

i trying to be discreet, not to let the useless MSM lost face

A Singaporean court has begun handing out sentences in a sensational case, which saw 10 Chinese nationals charged for laundering $2.2bn (£1.8bn) earned from criminal activities abroad. The scandal embroiled multiple banks, property agents, precious metal traders and a top golf club. It led to extensive raids in some of the most affluent neighbourhoods, where police seized billions in cash and assets. The lurid details have gripped Singaporeans - among the seized assets were 152 properties, 62 vehicles, shelves of luxury bags and watches, hundreds of pieces of jewellery and thousands of bottles of alcohol. Earlier this month, Su Wenqiang and Su Haijin, became the first to be jailed in the case. Su Haijin, police said, jumped off the second-floor balcony of a house trying to flee arrest. Both men will serve a little over a year in prison, after which they will be deported and barred from returning to Singapore. Eight others are still awaiting the court's decision. Even as it draws to a close, the case - the biggest of its kind in Singapore - has raised inevitable questions. The money that paid for their plush lives in the country, prosecutors said, came from illegal sources overseas, such as scams and online gambling. How did these men, some of whom had multiple passports from Cambodia, Vanuatu, Cyprus and Dominica, live and bank in Singapore for years without drawing scrutiny? It has sparked a review of policies, with banks tightening rules, especially around clients who hold multiple passports. Most important, the case has spotlighted the country's struggle with welcoming the super wealthy, without also becoming a destination for ill-gotten gains. Getty Images Luxury cars were among assets police seized in their raids Show me the money Singapore, which is often referred to as the Switzerland of Asia, started wooing banks and wealth managers in the 1990s. Economic reforms in China and India had begun to pay off, and then in the 2000s, a newly-stable Indonesia saw wealth grow as well. Soon, Singapore became a haven for foreign businesses, with investor-friendly laws, tax exemptions and other incentives. Today, the ultra-rich can fly into Singapore's private jet terminal, live it up in luxurious quayside neighbourhoods, and speculate on the world's first diamond trading exchange. Just outside the airport is a maximum-security vault called Le Freeport that provides tax-free storage for fine art, jewels, wine and other valuables. The $100m-facility is often dubbed Asia's Fort Knox. Singapore's asset managers drew S$435bn from abroad in 2022, almost double the figure in 2017, according to the country's market regulator. More than half of Asia's family offices - firms which manage private wealth - are now in Singapore, according to a report by consulting giant KPMG and family office consultancy Agreus. They include those of Google co-founder Sergey Brin, British billionaire James Dyson and Chinese-Singaporean Shu Ping, boss of the world's biggest chain of hotpot restaurants, Haidilao. Rent 'doomsday' in Singapore as prices surge How a tote bag sparked a class debate in Singapore Authorities say some of the accused in the money laundering case may be linked to family offices that were given tax incentives. "There is an inherent contradiction for a place like Singapore, which prides itself on clean and good governance but also wants to accommodate the management of massive wealth by offering advantages such as low taxes and banking secrecy," says Chong Ja-Ian, a non-resident scholar at Carnegie China. "The risk of also becoming a banker for individuals who earned their money through nefarious or illicit means grows." Getty Images Singapore's attraction for the ultra-rich comes with risks, analysts say For rich Chinese, Singapore is a top choice because of its reputed governance and stability, as well as its cultural links to China. And more Chinese money has been entering Singapore in recent years. One of the 10 suspects in this case was wanted in China since 2017 for his alleged role in illegal gambling online. Prosecutors claimed that he settled in Singapore because he "wanted a safe place to hide from the Chinese authorities". Hiding in plain sight This isn't the first time Singapore-based banks have been implicated in a financial crime. They were found to have played a role in cross-border laundering in the 1MDB scandal, where billions were misappropriated from Malaysia's state investment fund. Dan Tan, who was once described by Interpol as "the leader of the world's most notorious match-fixing syndicate" also had strong business links to Singapore. He was arrested here in 2013. The country has strict rules targeting white collar crimes and is an active member of the Financial Action Task Force, a global body which targets money laundering and financing for terror networks. Over the years, banks have invested heavily to strengthen compliance, to screen prospective customers and to urge regulators to report suspicious transactions. But none of this is foolproof. For one, it is difficult for regulators to spot suspicious cases in a sea of high-value transactions. "It's not just one needle in a haystack, but one needle in several haystacks," Singapore's second minister for home affairs, Josephine Teo, told parliament in October last year. Singapore's buoyant property market is a popular means to "clean" dirty money, some experts pointed out. And there are the casinos, nightclubs and luxury stores. "Massive amounts of money pass through Singapore's banking system every day. Criminals can exploit this feature and disguise their money laundering activities among legitimate ones," accounting professor Kelvin Law from Singapore's Nanyang Technological University told the BBC. Getty Images Singapore's property market is one of the routes for dirty money, experts say Singapore also does not limit the amount of cash that can be carried in and out of the country, only requiring a declaration if the sum exceeds S$20,000. And that is an advantage, says Christopher Leahy, the founder of Singapore-based investigative research and risk advisory firm Blackpeak. "If you want to move lots of money, you hide it in plain sight and Singapore is a great place for that. There is no point putting it in the Cayman Islands or the British Virgin Islands, where there is nothing [to spend money on]," he said. When asked for a response to analysts' comments that Singapore's advantages as a financial capital are also a draw for dirty money, authorities pointed the BBC to the law and home affairs minister interview in a local newspaper last year. "We can't close the window, because if we did that, then legitimate funds will also not be able to come. And legitimate business also can't be done, or becomes very difficult to do. So we have to be sensible," K Shanmugam said. "When you are successful, you are a major financial centre, a lot of money comes in, some 'flies' will also come in," he added, referring to an oft-repeated quote of the late Chinese leader, Deng Xiaoping. Singapore has to decide how far it will go in accepting "money with varying shades of grey", says Dr Chong of Carnegie China. While increased regulation will help, he says transparency poses a bigger challenge: "Transparency goes against the very model of discretion that allows many wealth management hubs to thrive." Some analysts say this may well be the price Singapore is willing to pay to retain its position as a financial hub. "The vast majority of the funds are legitimate, after all," Mr Leahy says. "But there is an inevitable cost to being a major financial centre."

SINGAPORE - Burger & Lobster Singapore was fined $3,000 by the courts on April 11 for food safety lapses, the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) said in a statement. In May 2022, SFA received reports of gastroenteritis involving 132 people who ate at the Burger & Lobster outlet in Jewel Changi Airport between May 7 and 15 in 2022. Five of them were hospitalised. The SFA and the Ministry of Health found multiple lapses. These included poor housekeeping, cracked kitchen floor tiles, using a dirty oven toaster and failure to employ a food hygiene officer for the premises. In the interest of public health, SFA suspended their food business operations from May 16 to July 5 in 2022, and it directed Burger & Lobster Singapore to take necessary measures to improve food safety practices and the cleanliness of its premises. In its statement on April 11, the agency reminded all food operators to ensure their premises are clean and well-maintained, and that staff are adequately trained on food safety management. Those found to have violated the Environmental Public Health (Food Hygiene) Regulations may be fined up to $2,000. In the case of a continuing offence, they can be further fined up to $100 for every day or part thereof during which the offence continues after conviction. https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/burger-lobster-fined-3000-for-food-safety-lapses

I don't understand why when ppl go out drinking, the grp always leave some heavily drunk blacked out woman to be dropped off at her home by one of the guyss. A meet up with a couple of old poly friends in Clarke Quay, we drank at a bar, played some games etc. I don't drink alcohol, so I just ordered a Sprite. While some of em ordered Liquid Buffet, Beer, Soju etc. One of the woman drunk until blackout. 3 of us, need to hold her by the arms & bring her out of the bar. Knn all arrow me say, oh u nv drink so u bring her home. Gave me $50 cash to call Grab. I told them at least , I need one other woman to follow me back to the drunk woman's house. They said they too tired. All those fkers left me at the bar outside, with her blacked out sitting on some chair. Idw bring back any drunk woman back to her place, then get accused of smth I didn't do. She was barely responding to my qns. Whenever I nudged her on her arm, she was abt fall onto the ground. Had to keep her still from falling. So I did the next best thing, I called 995. Told the guy on the phone, friend drunk like crazy, not responding to me. Need urgent help. They arrived in a couple mins, rlly quick. Asked me quite a number of qns, took down my IC. Then loaded her in the back. I rode the ambulance in the front seat & only went until the A&E front desk to admit her etc. Then I left. My friends all asked me whr she was etc, told them I dropped her off at the hosp. All of em got pissed, told me why'd I do such a thing etc. Told them she blacked out & not responding to me. Was rlly worried for her. So called ambulance lor. Not one of em supported me, called me siao lang etc. Well, she got discharged from the hospital the next day, nth wrong. She called complained to me cos of me, she got a $140 hosp bill. I didn't do anything wrong. I protected myself from getting my door busted down by CID & being dragged around in court. Idw spend time in lockup for helping a drunk woman. This experience rlly shook me to the core. That's the first time & last time I'll ever go out to a bar.
