    • SINGAPORE: A recruiter who landed in the eye of controversy after she warned Singapore workers to be “hungry” and “paranoid” to beat out foreign competition for jobs has locked her Facebook account amid mounting outrage.   Shulin Lee, founder of legal recruitment firm Aslant Legal, cautioned in a recent CNA podcast that companies are increasingly replacing Singaporean workers with foreign hires whom she described as “hungrier”.   Drawing from her experience as a recruiter, Ms Lee said some employers were choosing workers from countries such as Malaysia, Vietnam, and the Philippines over Singaporeans. She argued that the issue was not necessarily skill, but drive and willingness to go the extra mile.   “That hunger is now irreplaceable,” she said, while urging workers to remain “paranoid” about the changing job market and to continuously improve their relationship-building and communication skills. Her comments quickly sparked heated discussion online, with some Singaporeans agreeing that she was simply describing the realities of the labour market, while others criticised her use of the word “hungry” and argued that it ignored deeper structural pressures facing local workers. Ms Lee initially chose to respond to the criticism and published a series of posts on Facebook defending her choice of words. She said the backlash may have “hit a nerve” and maintained that the trend extended beyond developing nations, citing competition from workers in places such as Hong Kong, China, and New Zealand.   “The entire world is going through disruption,” she said, reiterating that workers should not become complacent. She, however, only added fuel to the fire by calling those who were offended by her choice of words “triggered”. As the criticism reached a fever pitch, the recruiter decided to lock her social media page completely. Her posts are now unviewable by the public.   Despite her move, the backlash continues unabated. Netizens say they feel Ms Lee was deliberately fanning the flames with her initial posts and used offensive words to stir controversy. Others felt she did so because she wanted the engagement online. Prominent Singapore author Gwee Li Sui also weighed in on the issue. Dr Gwee wrote on Facebook, “I think her main issue is her language. She uses way too many inflaming words, thinking they are professional and precise.”

    • SINGAPORE – A water-pipe leak in Yishun caused flooding in the early hours of May 10, affecting about 25 shops in the Chong Pang neighbourhood. The underground pipe is near the junction of Block 101 Yishun Avenue 5 and Sembawang Road and the leak occurred at around 1am, national water agency PUB said in a Facebook post at 9.43am. It deployed a service crew to isolate the leak and repairs are ongoing.   “There is no disruption to water supply for homes and businesses in the area,” it added. PUB is working with Nee Soon Town Council to carry out clean-up works and is investigating the cause of the leak. Coordinating Minister for National Security K. Shanmugam, who is also an MP for Nee Soon GRC, told reporters that about 25 shops were affected.   He added that officers from the town council had been in the area since 2am. “The cleaning up has taken some time because a substantive amount of water had come out,” he said. Some shops have been affected more than others, he added. The owner of a furniture shop, for example, was worried that the products would be unusable if they had got wet and muddy.   “We will work with them and help them,” Mr Shanmugam added. Mr Koh Chye Ghuan, chairman of Chong Pang City Merchant and Hawker’s Association, told reporters he was notified of the pipe leak at around 1am. Grassroots leaders and the town council were notified immediately. “Our priority is to help affected shop owners clear their stores so that they can resume their businesses quickly,” he said. He added that the owner of a coffee shop in Block 101 told him it would be closed this morning because the water supply was too low. When The Straits Times arrived at the scene at around 12.50am, water was gushing out from the ground at an outdoor area near Block 101. The water had spread to the ground floor of the block and neighbouring Block 102 and appeared to affect several stores there. A photo of the POSB Yishun West branch showed that the lights were turned on within the bank and water had entered its premises. At around 1am, water appeared to have entered the POSB Yishun West branch. ST PHOTO: RHEA YASMINE A resident of Block 101 who declined to be named told ST that residents could not return to their flats because of the flooding. “I have half a mind to just take off my shoes and climb up the stairs.” The flooding also affected one of two lanes on Sembawang Road, before Yishun Avenue 7. When ST visited the site again at around 10am, the water had been cleared from the area around Block 101. Around 10 workers could be seen clearing mud and debris from the ground and moving merchandise from affected stores. Mr Eric Teo, who has been running hardware shop Fupizat Trading Co in Block 101 for more than 40 years, said he found a lot of water outside and within his store at around 6am to 7am. Several cardboard boxes on the floor within his outlet were soaked. The 71-year-old said his business for the day would probably be affected as people stay away from the affected area.
