this video is misleading. transport = walk breakfast = $0 lunch = $2.50 + $ 1 mango snack = milo and tau sa $2 snack = 100 plus and cracker $1.40 Dinner = pau + siew mai = $1.60 = $8.50 what they nv add in and if he plan to walk forever and no plan to take transport then say else a more realistic answer is Transport say $4 per day or more or less depending if you need to take transport every day or only work day your pub bill = say single bbfa of $70 per month is $2.25 per day scc for 2 rm is around $30 per month, 4 rm is around $65 per month = let use 2 room = $1 per day HP bill = say $10 for 6 gb plan = 30cent per day cheapest fiber = $28 = 0.80cent per day = $8.35 i have not even add their housing loan, cpf, cash or both grand total = $16.85 all these can be below $10, unless them are homeless no need to pay pub or scc and no hp bills or all other bill to pay

the moment you start work your first pay day you need to save at least 50% , then as the month goes by you start to fine tune it until your 50% become 60% or 70% then you that 70% if you noob then save in bank as you use some to invest

I am a 26 year old female and was retrenched in November 2020. It was an immediate termination. I was then an office manager/executive assistant earning $3,800 a month. You think retrenchment only happens to people in their mid-40s and 50s, right? You’re wrong. I was let go three months into my new job in 2020, after being unemployed for almost a year. As of today, I have a grand total of $0 in my bank account, and this is how I’m coping. Job hunting in during the COVID-19 pandemic was extremely tough Before I get to my retrenchment, here’s a little backstory: I resigned from my previous full-time job in December 2019 to travel. I managed to tour Spain for the whole of January 2020, but COVID-19 happened and I had to cut my plans short. Once I was back in Singapore, I knew I had to secure a job. I sent out hundreds of applications, but only heard back from two companies. One offered me a position, but the pay was so low that I rejected it. I understand that it is natural for unemployed folks desperate for income to just grab any opportunity and accept the first job that comes their way. But I believe that doing such a thing will result in you bouncing from one demoralising, short-lived job after another. Fortunately, an interview with another company (let’s call it Company A) in February had some progress. It wasn’t easy getting this job as I had to go through a total of five interviews. Soon after, I finally signed a contract with them, securing a role as an office manager/executive assistant. Unfortunately, I was slated to start only in September as that was when my role required me to be physically present in the office. That meant I’m still jobless until September, so I had to find a way to supplement my income during this period. Unable to find other sources of income while waiting for new job to begin I was frantically looking for part-time jobs to tide me over until my new job started. In fact, I had applied to over 300 listings — but received zero replies. The Circuit Breaker period which happened from April to June 2020 further hindered my job hunting efforts as most companies weren’t hiring during that time. Depleted all my savings within that period Despite my utmost efforts, I remained jobless until September. I did a few freelance projects and gigs for some cash, but the pay was miserable and I eventually had to dig into my savings of $8,000 (which was meant for my 2020 travels) to get by. And that was all the money I had saved up from three years of working full-time. I did not have any emergency savings stashed elsewhere. Despite my appalling financial situation, I wasn’t too worried. I convinced myself that I was still young and had plenty of time to save up again, since I was going to start my new job with Company A in September. Squirreled away my first paycheck One of the biggest financial mistakes that I made when I started earning money again was that I splurged every time I received my salary. I was so excited to see money being deposited in my bank again that I made big ticket purchases without a second thought and treated all my friends whenever we went out for meals. I was so confident about retaining my job because Company A seemed to be doing well despite the COVID-19 situation and I never thought retrenchment could affect youngsters like me. I had a notion that retrenchment was a problem faced by people in their 40s and 50. But it happened to me, and there was no way anyone could tell it was coming. I was let go after three months into the job It was a weekday morning like any other, and I was in attendance for a regular meeting with my boss and the HR manager at 10am. I didn’t suspect anything as I reported directly to both of them, and I thought it was going to be another usual meeting about office upkeep or an upcoming project. I only sensed that something was amiss when my HR manager seemed nervous and started the meeting by reading off her screen. She began telling me about the company’s change in direction and as a result, my position will be made redundant. Everything happened so fast, I had no time to process The whole meeting lasted for around 10 to 15 minutes. I thought I would be given until the end of the day to pack and process the whole situation, but no. They told me to hand over everything immediately and pack my stuff. Since I was still on probation, there was no retrenchment package. As they had recently paid me my monthly salary, they told me to leave on the spot. By 10.45am, I was already out of the office and unemployed. It all happened so quickly that I didn’t manage to collect my thoughts or even react. I honestly didn’t see it coming since they just hired me about three months prior to my retrenchment. They said that their reason was that they’re moving away from traditional roles, I did not get fired because of COVID-19. Retrenched with no savings As mentioned previously, I had exhausted all my savings and the initial plan was to use this job to earn it all back. However, three months of employment was too short for me to save anything. When I got retrenched, I was right back where I started — with $0 in my bank. I was devastated, to say the least. I thought things were looking up for me and I felt really sorry for my parents as they had to continue supporting me again until I can get back on my feet. Being 26 and still getting allowance from your parents is definitely not the best feeling. Immediately cut down on expenses Soon after I got retrenched, I took a good, hard look at my lifestyle and expenses. Back when I was working, I used to take private hire transport wherever I go, no matter how high the surge may be. Thus, my frequent Grab rides were the first to go. Now, I commute using public transport. If I really need to take private transport, I would compare the prices across Grab, Ryde and Gojek, and go with whichever is the cheapest. To save more, I cooked instead of eating out. Whenever my friends wanted to hang out, I would ask them to come over to my place. I also started tracking my expenses with an app and limited myself to $250 per month for food and transport. When I changed small habits like this, I realised that I’ve been spending recklessly all this time. And since I didn’t track my expenses before, I couldn’t give a figure as to how much I was spending previously. I used to think $250 wasn’t enough for my personal expenses, but now that I am forced to live by it, it’s actually quite feasible. Fighting bills, household essentials and insurance concerns While I could reduce my recreational spending, others essentials such as food, utilities, insurance premiums, phone bills and loan repayment couldn’t be put on hold. All these bills were costing me a pretty penny, but I decided to continue paying because I felt it was my responsibility as my parent’s eldest daughter to contribute to the household. Took on courses to upskill myself As finding a job was tough, I decided to use this time to upskill myself to be more employable in the future. With that, I registered for an SGUnited course for cloud computing. Thankfully, that gave me an allowance of $1,200 a month, which helps me settle some of my bills. I also took up a part-time degree in software engineering at NUS and signed up for Spanish classes. One big financial lesson I learnt through this experience You’ll never know what’s going to happen in the future so emergency savings are a must. Even though $8,000 isn’t much, at least it helped tide me through my first unemployment period. However, it wasn’t enough, as you can see, to ride me through my current situation. I’m still struggling, but I’m sure I’ll make it out one day.

In a new article titled "A Hacker Got All My Texts for $16," Vice reporter Joseph Cox detailed how the white-hat hacker—an employee at a security vendor—was able to redirect all of his text messages and then break into online accounts that rely on texts for authentication. This wasn't a SIM swap scam, in which "hackers trick or bribe telecom employees to port a target's phone number to their own SIM card," Cox wrote. "Instead, the hacker used a service by a company called Sakari, which helps businesses do SMS marketing and mass messaging, to reroute my messages to him." This method tricked T-Mobile into redirecting Cox's text messages in a way that might not have been readily apparent to an unsuspecting user. "Unlike SIM jacking, where a victim loses cell service entirely, my phone seemed normal," Cox wrote. "Except I never received the messages intended for me, but he did." The unnamed hacker is director of information at Okey Systems, a security vendor. "I used a prepaid card to buy [Sakari's] $16-per-month plan and then after that was done it let me steal numbers just by filling out LOA info with fake info," the Okey employee told Cox. The "LOA" is "a Letter of Authorization, a document saying that the signer has authority to switch telephone numbers," Cox wrote. "A few minutes after they entered my T-Mobile number into Sakari, [the hacker] started receiving text messages that were meant for me," Cox wrote. "I received no call or text notification from Sakari asking to confirm that my number would be used by their service. I simply stopped getting texts." After gaining access to Cox's messages, "the hacker sent login requests to Bumble, WhatsApp, and Postmates, and easily accessed the accounts," the article said. "As for how Sakari has this capability to transfer phone numbers, [researcher Karsten] Nohl from Security Research Labs said, 'there is no standardized global protocol for forwarding text messages to third parties, so these attacks would rely on individual agreements with telcos or SMS hubs,'" Cox wrote. While Cox is a T-Mobile user, the hacker told him that the "carrier doesn't matter... It's basically the wild west." CTIA: Carriers now take “precautionary measures” Okey offers a tool for monitoring malicious changes to a user's mobile service. "Sign up for our free beta and we'll monitor out-of-band communications such as your routes and carrier settings. If a malicious event takes place, we'll alert you through alternative forms of trusted communication," the company says. The carriers themselves may be able to stop this type of attack in the future. T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T referred Cox to CTIA, the trade association that represents the top mobile carriers. CTIA told Cox: After being made aware of this potential threat, we worked immediately to investigate it, and took precautionary measures. Since that time, no carrier has been able to replicate it. We have no indication of any malicious activity involving the potential threat or that any customers were impacted. Consumer privacy and safety is our top priority, and we will continue to investigate this matter. That statement does not say exactly what precautionary measures the carriers have taken to prevent the attack. We contacted T-Mobile and CTIA today and will update this article if we get any more information. Sakari has also apparently upgraded security. Sakari co-founder Adam Horsman told Cox that Sakari has, since being made aware of the attack, "updated our hosted messaging process to catch this in the future" and "added a security feature where a number will receive an automated call that requires the user to send a security code back to the company, to confirm they do have consent to transfer that number." We contacted Sakari today about its security and integration with T-Mobile and will update this article if we get a response. While Sakari was involved in this case, other third-party companies may also have integrations with carriers that open the carriers' customers to attacks. The carriers themselves need to be more careful about giving third-party vendors the ability to redirect text messages. Update at 2:48 pm EDT: Sakari responded to Ars with a statement saying, "We've now closed this industry loophole at Sakari and other SMS providers and carriers should do the same. When you port a mobile phone number in the US, like a customer switching carriers for voice calls, the carrier you are leaving authorizes your number's departure. There is no such industry standard for transferring ownership of messaging on mobile numbers. Sakari already goes above and beyond industry standards on verification for new clients and followed our carrier's guidelines to the letter, but in light of this development we've now added a phone verification call to all new text-enabled numbers so no one can use Sakari to exploit this industry loophole again. SMS is a hugely powerful communication medium, and as it continues to dominate the communication landscape, we would welcome improvements needed from the industry—both carriers and resellers." Cox's story is not the first reminder about the insecurity of text messages. SIM-swapping attacks and flaws in the SS7 telephone protocols already made it risky to use text messages for authentication, but many websites and other online services still rely on texts to verify users' identities. Customers can set up account PINs with T-Mobile and other carriers to prevent unauthorized access to their cellular accounts, but it isn't clear whether doing so would have prevented the type of attack that redirected Cox's text messages. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2021/03/16-attack-let-hacker-intercept-a-t-mobile-users-text-messages/

One Raffles Place has apologised to its tenants and shoppers after sprinklers were activated on Monday morning (Mar 15). A Stomper alerted Stomp to the incident and shared videos and photos he took at the mall. In the video, one of the floors in the mall is flooded with water. "I don't know why the sprinklers were activated," he said. "There was no fire. "People who were eating were all wet, lucky it was not lunchtime yet." In response to a Stomp query, a spokesman from One Raffles Place said: "The sprinkler system on Level 1 of One Raffles Place shopping mall was triggered at 11.30am on Monday, 15th March. "The management views safety as our top priority and following the incident, all affected areas were cordoned off for clean-up works. "In addition, we have rendered assistance to all affected parties. "All retail outlets affected by this incident have since resumed operation. "One Raffles Place sincerely apologises for any inconvenience caused to our tenants and shoppers."

An ITE College Central student has been suspended after a distressing video of another student getting slapped and kicked surfaced on social media. Footage of the incident, which appears to have been taken by another student, shows the aggressor taunting the student as he corners him to the side. The aggressor then rips off the student's mask and continually asks him "what's wrong with you". Laughter can be heard in the background as the aggressor hurls a string of vulgarities at the student, before finally asking him to say "sorry boss". The aggressor proceeds to hit the student on the head and kicks him in the calf while the latter walks out. It is unknown when the video was taken. ITE College Central principal Suresh Natarajan said in a statement that the school is aware of the video of the bullying incident. SERIOUS VIEW "As an educational institution, we strive to provide all our students with a safe, caring and supportive environment. We take a serious view of bullying and take a firm stance against such behaviour," said Mr Suresh. ITE has identified the students involved in the incident and suspended one of them, pending further investigations. Mr Suresh added that they have reached out to the victim and his family and extended support to them. "The college will not hesitate to take disciplinary actions against students found in breach of our code of conduct," he said. Minister of State for Education, and Social and Family Development Sun Xueling wrote in a Facebook post yesterday that ITE's College Disciplinary Committee is investigating and will recommend appropriate actions. "Might is not right. It is morally reprehensible to bully someone," she added. "Even more so, if you pick on a person or child who is in a vulnerable position and unable to defend himself or herself."

SINGAPORE — A housewife who sexually abused her daughter's mildly intellectually disabled schoolmate was jailed one year on Wednesday (17 March). The 45-year-old woman exploited the then 15-year-old victim's liking for her daughter and told him that she would guide him in his wooing of her. After convincing the teen's mother to let the boy sleep over, the woman then shared a bed with him and masturbated him twice on two separate occasions. The woman was sentenced after she pleaded guilty to committing an obscene act with a young person. The victim cannot be named due a court imposed gag order. Lured victim to her home At the time of the offences, the boy was studying at a school for individuals with mild intellectual disabilities and mild autism. He has an IQ of 56, which places him in the mild intellectual disability range. The victim was a good friend of the woman's daughter – also a student at the same school – and began chatting online with the woman last year. The woman and the victim eventually began chatting in person, with the woman often comforting the boy over his troubles with his then-girlfriend. The woman said she could guide the boy in his relationship issues. In March last year, she began addressing him as "dear" and considered him to be her godson. During the school holidays that month, she began inviting him to her house. The boy would accept the invitations as he wanted to meet the woman's daughter. For a week, he visited the woman's house almost daily. While there, he and the woman's daughter would do their homework with the woman watching over them, before they played games together. At one point, the boy laid on top of the woman's daughter and kissed her on the mouth. The woman, who witnessed the boy's actions, responded by saying that you cannot do that, as my daughter is "very fresh", said the prosecution. The woman later asked the boy to stay over at her home. His mother was initially reluctant for her son to do so, but the woman claimed she would take care of him and monitor him. The boy's mother relented on the assurance that her son would sleep separately from the woman and her daughter and that there would be no close physical interaction between her son and the woman's daughter. The victim then stayed over for a week. Instead of keeping to her promise, the woman had the boy sleep in her bed. On two nights that week – 23 and 26 March – the woman hugged the boy as she slept and kissed him on the mouth. She also groped him underneath his clothes and masturbated him. The victim felt uncomfortable over the woman's actions but did not try to stop her as he was afraid of being shouted at by the woman. Deputy Public Prosecutor Hidayat Amir submitted for a jail term of one year and two months for the woman, saying that she had premeditated her offences by planning for him to stay over. She also hid her plans from her husband, who lived in the same house.

SINGAPORE - Imagine a day when crops are able to tell you they are thirsty or when you can instruct a plant to delicately pick up an item. Far-fetched? Scientists in Singapore have actually created a way for humans and plants to communicate with each other - via a smartphone, no less. The team at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) did this by developing a small conductive material that allows electrical signals to enter and leave the plant. Like brains which send out electrical signals, plants also emit electrical signals to respond to their environment, and show signs of distress or poor health. The scientists found that these signals can be harnessed to broaden the plants' abilities and functions. For instance, it is now possible for a Venus flytrap - a carnivorous plant that naturally ensnares bugs - to grab hold of a thin piece of wire when electrical signals are sent through the plant. All that is needed are a smartphone and an electrode, which is the metallic conductive material. In an experiment, the team pasted a 3mm-wide electrode onto one of the traps of a Venus flytrap using a soft and sticky adhesive known as thermogel, a glue that transforms from liquid to a flexible gel at room temperature. The electrode is harmless to the plant and does not affect its ability to undergo photosynthesis. Within 1.3 seconds of the smartphone sending electric pulses to the electrode, the Venus flytrap snapped shut. Taking this a step further, the researchers at NTU attached the Venus flytrap to a robotic arm and, powering the plant with the electrical signals, made it grab and pick up a thin wire half a millimetre thick. This achievement with the carnivorous plant was published in scientific journal Nature Electronics in January. The 3mm-wide metallic electrodes are attached to one of the Venus flytrap's traps on the right. PHOTO: NTU SINGAPORE The research team said the findings could lead to the creation of plant-based technologies such as robot grippers that use plants to pick up fragile and delicate objects that may be damaged by existing grippers. "The flytrap behaves like a robot, which can be controlled electrically by humans," said Ms Luo Yifei, a PhD student at NTU's School of Materials Science and Engineering. But since a Venus flytrap takes 24 hours to reopen, it may be more practical to artificially build a robotic grip inspired by the plant, added President's Chair Professor in Materials Science and Engineering Chen Xiaodong, who is the study's lead author. Moreover, the electrode can also be considered a "plant whisperer", which can sense if a plant is in distress when the plant emits abnormal electrical signals. NTU Singapore scientists develop device to 'communicate' with plantsThis is particularly useful for farmers who need to be alerted if their crops are not growing well, said Prof Chen. "By monitoring the plants' electrical signals, we may be able to detect possible distress signals and abnormalities," he said. "When used for agriculture purposes, farmers may find out when a disease is in progress, even before full-blown symptoms appear on the crops, such as yellowed leaves." Since the thermogel can conform to the shape of plants, which tend to be hairy, waxy and textured, the electrode will not drop off when plants grow and move in response to the environment. To be an effective "plant whisperer", the electrode device must be properly and fully attached to leaves, because plants' electrical signals are very weak. The scientists also managed to attach the electrode to a sunflower's hairy stem. The NTU team is looking to create other applications and "communicate" with more plants using electrical signals. Beyond plant health, Prof Chen said it is possible to use plants as living sensors in factories and industrial areas. If there is a toxic chemical leak in those areas, the plants will sense trouble, and their signals may turn abnormal.

Wtf ppl come to work not to get abuse
