  7. Former SMRT Corp’s chief executive Desmond Kuek is joining Swiss investment bank UBS as divisional vice-chairman for global wealth management. Kuek, who will be based in Singapore, will start work on 18 February, UBS said in a statement on Monday (4 February). He will report to UBS head of ultra-high net worth, Joe Stadler, and UBS Asia-Pacific president, Edmund Koh. Prior to this, Kuek was President and Chief Executive Officer at SMRT Corp from 2012-2018. Kuek stepped down as CEO last April and was replaced by former Chief of Defence Force Neo Kian Hong. His tenure at SMRT was marked by several major setbacks such as a tunnel flood that resulted in a 20-hour disruption in train services, a track accident that caused the deaths of two staff members, a train collision that injured 38 people, as well as an increasing frequency of breakdowns. Before joining SMRT, Kuek served as Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Environment & Water Resources from 2010 to 2012. He was Singapore’s sixth Chief of Defence Force from 2007 to 2010, Chief of Army from 2003 to 2007, and Director of Joint Intelligence in the Singapore Armed Forces from 2000 to 2003. He has served on the boards of Housing & Development Board, International Enterprise Singapore, Jurong Town Corporation, Defence Science & Technology Agency, Civil Service College and Singapore Technologies Engineering. He is also founder and Chairman at consultancy firm Genium & Co. Kuek holds a Master of Arts (Engineering Science) from Oxford University, a Master in Public Administration from Harvard University, and is an alumnus of IMD Switzerland.

  8. It seems like the famous Chin Mee Chin Confectionery 真美珍茶室 located at East Coast Road has ended operations. (This comes shortly after another nostalgic shop of Teck Kee Tanglin Pau has announced its closure. Sad to see our childhood places fade away.) While a notice in front of their shop states they would be back during January 2019, shutters are still down and they have yet to return. A search on Google also shows that Chin Mee Chin is “permanently closed”. Residents of Katong and of a certain generation should be familiar with Chin Mee Chin Confectionery, otherwise known as CMC. This is where you can get a taste of the old-styled coffee and bakes, and to take a step down the memory lane. The Hainanese coffeeshop 真美珍茶室 along East Coast Road, presently owned by Mr. Tang See Fang, was founded by the owner’s father in 1925. There is a certain nostalgic charm in this little shop, with mosaic blue and white tiles, marble top tables, a mixture of wooden chairs and ceiling fans. Other than kaya toast, this confectionary offers pastries like custard puffs, curry puffs, Swiss rolls and fruit cakes, lined up in aluminium trays within old-looking metal shelves. People go for the hot piping tarts when they come out straight from the kitchen at the back, filling up the signature white boxes with delights for the family. My favourite is the French Toast with the thick slab of butter and sweet aromatic kaya hand-made in traditional style. The Custard Puffs, served in little plastic dishes, are also a draw with the dark yellow custard, lightly prepared and not too sweet to the tooth. Regulars would certainly miss that familiar smell of kaya, butter and coffee prominent in the air; and the sight of aunties at the back-kitchen rattle as they prepare the daily fix. In the time when rentals keep going up, reliable F&B workers are hard to find, and with nobody to take over the realms, we will unfortunately see more of these familiar places we grow up with, disappear. Thank you Chin Mee Chin for the memories. http://danielfooddiary.com/2019/02/01/chinmeechin/
  9. SINGAPORE - The Gojek driver in a viral video has been summoned by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) for an interview as a part of investigations after a complaint was filed against him. In a letter dated Monday (Feb 4) and titled "Notice To Attend Interview" seen by The Straits Times, Mr Kamaruzzaman Abdul Latiff is asked to attend an interview with an LTA official on Thursday morning. "A complaint has been filed against you... The complaint concerns an incident dated Jan 29 at 7am. We are now investigating the matter," the letter states. LTA asked Mr Kamaruzzaman to bring his NRIC, vocational licence, driving licence, as well as "the recording device, its recording and any other evidence". The letter ends by stating that his attendance is compulsory under traffic rules. Mr Kamaruzzaman, 49, told ST on Monday that he was in Malaysia taking time off from driving when his son sent him a photo of the letter. He said he would go to the interview and may consult a lawyer. Earlier on Monday morning, an LTA spokesman said: "LTA is looking into this incident." On Jan 31, Mr Kamaruzzaman had shared a seven-minute clip of a heated exchange with a passenger on the Go-Jek Singapore Community Facebook page, saying that the female passenger was upset that he could not avoid the Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) gantries during the journey. He had picked her up from Block 251 Bishan Street 22 at about 7am on Tuesday and was heading towards Coleman Street. In the video, which was taken using Mr Kamaruzzaman's mobile phone, the passenger is heard saying "it is clear that you are out to cheat (my) money". She then makes a phone call and an unknown person is heard over a mobile phone loudspeaker saying "you have no right to take her hostage" and "you are causing her to lose her freedom". Mr Kamaruzzaman repeatedly says that he prefers to settle any issues at a police station. The car eventually comes to a stop in Toa Payoh Lorong 4, as Mr Kamaruzzaman speaks to a Certis Cisco officer. At one point, the passenger screams, claiming that Mr Kamaruzzaman had locked the car door on purpose and intended to kidnap her, noting later that he did not want to let her alight from the car when they could not settle their dispute. He tries to explain to her that the car has auto-lock doors. As of 8.40pm on Monday, the video posted on the Roads.sg Facebook group had attracted over 768,000 views, 11,500 shares, and more than 6,300 reactions. In a Skype interview with ST on Sunday night, the passenger, who wanted to be known only as Jovina, said she had not had the chance to make a police report as she left for Taiwan shortly after the incident, adding she is "thinking about it". In an e-mail on Monday, Ms Jovina told ST that Gojek had not contacted her. She did not say if she had filed a complaint with LTA. ST has contacted Ms Jovina and LTA for more information. https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/gojek-driver-in-viral-video-summoned-for-lta-interview-after-complaint-lodged-against-him

  13. SINGAPORE - Taiwanese actor Tuo Chung-hua, who has appeared in the popular movie series Yes, Sir!, was arrested after allegedly molesting a flight stewardess on a flight to Singapore. According to Taiwanese entertainment publication Apple Daily News, the 56-year-old, whose name is also listed as To Tsung-hua, was on a China Airlines flight to Singapore on Friday (Feb 1) when he began behaving in a drunken and disorderly manner. When a male passenger confronted him, he reportedly hurled vulgarities at him. Afterwards, when he asked a flight attendant to bring him more alcohol, he allegedly touched her buttocks. Apple Daily reported that the attendant later broke down and cried. Mr Tuo's agent told the publication that the actor had wanted to celebrate Chinese New Year, and had spoken in a loud voice, as he was "excited". The agent added that Mr Tuo had not molested the stewardess. Mr Tuo later recorded a clip of himself apologising and uploaded it online. In the 50-second video, he acknowledged that he "may have done some things that affected other people" while on the flight, and explained that he had simply been very happy, as Chinese New Year was approaching. He said in Mandarin: "I may have had a little too much to drink. This really was unacceptable, I hope it won't affect everybody's mood for the new year. "I hereby apologise to those I have affected, I did not have any ill intention of harassing you all, I hope she can forgive me." Apple Daily later reported that China Airlines confirmed a passenger was drunk on the flight, and that the captain had reported the situation to the authorities in Singapore for security reasons. The police told The Straits Times on Sunday that they were alerted to a case of outrage of modesty at 6.57pm on Friday which took place on board a flight bound for Singapore. They arrested a 56-year-old man in relation to the case when the plane landed. The police are investigating the incident. Besides Yes, Sir!, Tuo has also acted in the film Lust, Caution. In 2005, he won the Golden Bell Award for his role in the TV series Love's Lone Flower. https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/courts-crime/lust-caution-actor-arrested-by-singapore-police-for-allegedly-molesting

  17. Sugar, butter and flour. Bakers rely on these three essential ingredients to make everything from tart pastry to chiffon cakes. Sugar lends texture, butter gives rise to baked goods and flour gives everything volume. In the name of health, a few Singapore businesses have challenged themselves to skip one, two or even all three of these core ingredients. Tailored for those following alternative diets, these baked goods used substitutes like almond butter, toasted oats, and, erm, arrowroot powder. The finished product? Cookies and pineapple tarts suitable for those following a vegan, paleo, or low-sugar diet. But how do they taste? Does guilt-free necessarily equal joy-free? CNA Lifestyle stuffed our faces to find out in the video below. (Not all of these snacks were well-received, to say the least.) MATCH x NATURAL PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES MATCH x NATURAL PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsdm014BfKH/?utm_source=ig_embed This vegan-friendly snack from The Clean Addicts stays true to the brand’s tagline of “No Eggs, Dairy, Refined Sugars or Nasties”. According to The Clean Addicts, these “nasties” refer to “artificial flavours, flavourings, butter, cholesterol, preservatives, animal products or refined sugars”. The Matcha x Natural Peanut Butter Cookies by The Clean Addicts are priced at S$18.80 per 120g bag of about 20 to 25 cookies. Also available is a gluten-free wholegrain option made without starches. Available online via Instagram (@thecleanaddicts) or on The Clean Addicts’ website at www.thecleanaddicts.com. ORGANIC ALMOND BUTTER PINEAPPLE TARTS Veganism is just the beginning. These pineapple tarts from Nuttier have taken it a step further by leaving out the flour from this “low-calorie” recipe. Made with toasted Australian oats, dry roasted almond butter, pineapple jam, wild bush honey and organic French vanilla, this recipe for pineapple tarts sounds more well-travelled than most people. While the strictest vegans may baulk at the inclusion of honey, an animal product, the natural sugar is a crucial ingredient in this homemade pineapple jam. The Organic Almond Butter Pineapple Tarts from Nuttier are going at a discounted price of S$22.50 for a box of 18 cookies, available online via Nuttier’s website at www.nuttiernuts.com. PALEO PINEAPPLE TARTS Made without flour, butter, eggs, or sugar, it’s a miracle this tart exists. Produced by the folks at Bakening.Co, this vegan and paleo-friendly snack comes individually packaged and keeps for three weeks. You know what they didn’t put in this, now here’s what they did: These pineapple tarts are made from almonds, non-hydrogenated palm shortening, pineapples, dates, arrowroot powder and pink Himalayan salt. These tarts are the priciest among the three, at S$23.80 for a box of six. Available online via Redmart or Bakening.Co’s website at www.bakening.co.
  18. When it comes to home financing, there are two main loan types on the market: Singapore Interbank Offered Rate (SIBOR) loan and Fixed Home Rate (FHR) loan. What is the difference between the two? And how do you know which loan works better for you? Let us break it down for you. WHAT IS A SIBOR LOAN? Let’s start by understanding what a SIBOR rate is. In a nutshell, it is the median rate at which Singapore banks lend money. The rate is government regulated and therefore, public information. A SIBOR home loan has an interest rate that consists of the bank’s spread (how much the bank wants to charge), plus the prevailing SIBOR rate. So if the SIBOR rate is 1.7 per cent, and the bank’s spread is 0.7 per cent, then your interest rate would be (1.7 + 0.7 = 2.4 per cent). There’s an interest rate period indicator, such as one-month SIBOR, three-month SIBOR, and so forth (it can go all the way to 12-month SIBOR, but one-month and three-month are the most common). Banks commonly express this with an “M” in front of the rate – so when referring to the three-month SIBOR rate, they’d rate 3M SIBOR. The interest rate period determines how often your bank loan interest changes. So if you have a 1M SIBOR loan, then your home loan rate changes every month. If you have a 3M SIBOR loan, then your rate changes every three months. In general, 1M SIBOR is better when interest rates are falling (as your loan changes to match the downward rates faster), and 3M SIBOR is better when interest rates are climbing (it takes longer for your loan to match the rising rates). To summarise, if you have a SIBOR rate, your interest rate might look something like this: 0.5 + 3M SIBOR What that means is your interest rate is the bank’s spread (0.5 per cent), plus whatever the current 3M SIBOR rate is. WHAT IS AN FHR LOAN? (Photo: 99.co) An FHR loan is a form of Board Rate (BR) loan. This means the interest rate is not set by the market but rather, the bank gets to decide on the rate. This form of loan was initially unpopular as it was assumed that the banks lured homebuyers in with low interest rates only to spike rates afterwards. That changed when the FHR loan was introduced. The interest rate of this loan is pegged to a particular tranche (slice) of fixed deposits. This meant that when the bank raises its home loan rates, it would also be forced to pay out its fixed deposit holders more. This acts as a safeguard against the bank spiking rates. Today, FHR loans are more common than the traditional SIBOR loans. THE BIG QUESTION: WHICH LOAN IS CHEAPER? While it is not immediately apparent which loan is cheaper, it is obvious which loan type has a more predictable repayment policy. Predictability is vital when it comes to loan repayment. Choose a loan type based on your financial situation, rather than to try and guess which will turn out cheaper. As a rule, SIBOR and FHR rates move in tandem – when one goes up or down, the other tends to follow. The difference lies in the fact that SIBOR rates tends to be more volatile – when SIBOR goes up, it usually moves up faster than FHR. The same is true when it goes down. Another major difference is how often the rate changes: SIBOR rates change every month or every quarter of the year, whereas banks change their fixed deposits rates less frequently (sometimes only once a year). As a rule of thumb, an FHR loan is suitable for individuals servicing the home loan with cash (instead of CPF) and a SIBOR loan will work well for individuals who are savvy at sniffing out cheaper refinance rates. Enlist the help of a mortgage broker to help you decide which loan works best for you. Getting the right loan package is as important as buying a home for the right price.
