60 tipoffs for illegal HDB subletting in 3 weeks

See! We knew Singaporeans are all very civic minded and will always do the right thing - like snitching on their neighbors for illegal HDB subletting!

60 tipoffs in just 3 weeks means that there are roughly 3 people "saboing" their neighbors on a daily basis - and this is without any rewards being offered yet! So if you are illegally subletting we hope you have been nice to your neighbors!

Also, according to a report on Channelnewsasia, a routine inspection even uncovered more than 20 people staying in a flat with 17 of them maids by profession. We are guessing that some enterprising maid employment agency might be related to this!

I am an engineer. Over the past year, I have been squeezed out of my job by cheaper Chinese, Malaysian and Indian engineers. To them, $2000 is much when they remit back home. To me, I can't even afford a HDB, as frugal as I try to be, because the foreigners keeps driving home prices up on a daily basis. To add insult to injury, more of the foreign graduates replacing me had their university fees paid by our very own Ministry of Education. These graduates were not only given free college education, they were even given a month allowance of few hundred dollars each. While I had to work part time to support my education in NUS, and I still remain in debt to my student loan. (BITTER LAUGH!!!!).

I spent 2.5 years of my precious youth serving the SAF, during which I lost my first girlfriend during training. These foreigners were given PRs and citizenship in less than 2.5 years and they don't even need to serve. If war breaks out, I have to protect 1/3 of the population fuilled with these people?? (Assuming they dun run away at the 1st sign of trouble??!!) SAF even sent me a letter threatening to fine me for going overseas without telling them...to attend a funeral of my uncle...(BITTER LAUGH!!!!). Hey, here's an idea, why don't I migrate to another country before migrating back. That will save me more time!

I am working in odds jobs now 7 days a week. I am now almost 30 already. Inflation exceed my savings rate, and I find a home, marriage, kids and happy future beyond me. A simple illness or a year of unemployment could wipe me out. Yet the government is wondering why there are less marriages and births....(BITTER LAUGH!!!!)

I bear no love to my country now. My country does not need to be attacked, it has already be invaded and taken over. Thanks PAP!

Subsidy of university is one thing, the studying environment is another. My Sister is in NUS now, there students from China and South East Asian Countries make up a pretty high percentage (obviously). She has to do a certain history project with her peers. half her group is from China. Therefore, half of the group doesn't do anything, the reason why? they cannot communicate. The China Scholars do their portion in chinese (they laptops keyboards are chinese characters) and then send it to you. You have a very hard time translating it to english, and in the end, u have to scrape his/her work and do it all by yourself. When you are in NUS, u feel like you're studying overseas in some Beijing or Shanghai university

WHAT was supposed to be a free 15-minute nap on a park bench turned into a costly snooze for one Singaporean.
The New Paper on Tuesday reported that a 62-year-old, who only wanted to be known as Mr Kassim, was fined $200 when he dozed off on a Sun Plaza Park bench while taking shelter from the rain.

The National Parks Board (NParks) fined the private bus driver for having misused the park facility by sleeping on the bench.

The incident happened on Sept 1 at a park in Tampines.

Mr Kassim had dozed off on one of the wooden benches while seeking shelter from a heavy downpour. He woke up about 15 minutes later to see two men, who would later identify themselves as NParks rangers, walking towards him.

They asked for his identity card, told him he had 'abused park facilities by sleeping on the park bench', and issued him a ticket.

Mr Kassim accepted the ticket despite not knowing it was an offence to sleep on a park bench.

Five days later, he received an NParks letter detailing his offence and asking him to pay the $200 fine. When he went to the NParks office to make payment, he claimed he was told by a staff member that he could appeal.

But he decided against it, citing it would be a hassle.

Of eight regular park-goers surveyed by The New Paper, none knew that sleeping on park benches was an offence.

On the NParks website, there is a list of 'Dos' and 'Don'ts' for visiting parks. Sleeping on a park bench was not among the 'Don'ts', but there was a disclaimer which said the list was 'not exhaustive or intended to be a complete list of the prohibitions or regulations governing our parks'.

Money given, not loaned

Details about Dr Tan's (above) relationship with Stephanie Chee Jok Heng, 51, emerged in court when his lawyer cross-examined the woman on the first day of the hearing into her lawsuit. -- ST PHOTO: STEVEN LEE CT

PROMINENT paraplegic athlete William Tan Kian Meng claimed that a woman who is suing him for some $400,000 had given him the money, not lent it to him, as they had been in an 'intimate relationship'.

Details about Dr Tan's relationship with Stephanie Chee Jok Heng, 51, emerged in court when his lawyer cross-examined the woman on the first day of the hearing into her lawsuit.

They had even gone on trysts to hotels, claimed Dr Tan. But Chee, a divorcee with three daughters, flatly denied allegations that they had been lovers and insisted that the two had merely had a 'Christian platonic kind of relationship'.

In her lawsuit, Chee, a former management consultant, is seeking the return of $259,818.24 that she had extended to Dr Tan between 1999 and 2007. These included payments for his car insurance, road tax, life insurance premiums; expenses on his supplementary credit card; and expenses incurred in their business ventures.

Dr Tan, 53, who is single, does not dispute receiving the money, but he claims that many of the payments were 'love gifts' to him. He also contends that Chee had waived her right to the money when she turned down his previous offers to pay her back.

Chee is seeking another $149,858.19 from Dr Tan, claiming he had promised to indemnify her for losses she had made from the sale of an apartment at the One Tree Lodge condominium.

There are only 2 Medical Schools in NZ; University Of Auckland and Otago University (Dunedin). Medical Degrees from both these Universities are accredited in Singapore but which Singaporean with a NZ PR who obtains a Medical Degree from NZ would want to work in Singapore?

For starters, a huge chunk of his SG pay would get sucked into an abyss of no return known as the CPF.

There is often no bilateral recognition of Medical Degrees with other 1st world countries. The NUS Medical Degree does not get you registration or emigration points for a Singaporean.

A foreign Medical Degree (OZ/NZ) is registrable in Singapore and it also earns emigration points to get work or PR status in OZ/NZ.

Medical Doctors earn higher salaries in OZ/NZ than in Singapore not to mention a lower cost of living with regards to houses/cars (the 2 big ticket items)

Only on selected universities in OZ/NZ not all medical degrees are recognized in Singapore. But if you can stay overseas and enjoy better quality of life, why would you return to sinkieland? Ministar's children perhaps?

Wife of former NKF Chairman sentenced to 22 months' jail

I said JOB WELL DONE. HKG did a good job !!

Anyone knows if she will really physically jail ?? or does HKG have those Home Detention program that will allow her to spend the money outside jail ??

I just dont want to see her spending the money and enjoying life

SINGAPORE: A former management consultant who had cheated several charities was sentenced on Friday to 13 months' imprisonment.

The court also ordered 51-year-old Stephanie Chee Jok Heng to return the money to the charities.

She is appealing against the conviction and sentence.

The court had found Chee guilty on February 10 this year of 10 cheating charges.

Chee had swindled Parkway Healthcare Foundation and Toa Payoh Senior Citizens' Health Care Centre of S$5,761 between March 2003 and April 2004.

She was the General Manager of two facilities managed by the Foundation when she committed her crimes.

They are the Toa Payoh Centre and Geylang Senior Citizens' Health Care Centre.

District Judge Jasvender Kaur had earlier convicted Chee of making false reimbursement claims.

Chee had stated that they were for work done for the charities by other parties, when in fact, they were not.

For one, she had fraudulently used S$3,384 to pay for her daughters' piano lessons and tuition fees.

Chee also made a double claim amounting to S$2,337 from Toa Payoh Centre for plastic surgery for her younger brother.

For each cheating offence, she could have been sentenced to a maximum of seven years' jail and fined.

Grading System
34. How will the students be graded?
The grading system for the three levels of study is shown below:
H1 Subjects
H2 Subjects
A
B
C
D
E
S
Ungraded
‘S’ and ‘Ungraded’ are grade points below pass; ‘S’ is used to denote a sub-pass

O Levels Grades
A1: 75% and above
A2: 70% to 74%
B3: 65% to 69%
B4: 60% to 64%
C5: 55% to 59%
C6: 50% to 54%
D7: 45% to 49%
E8: 40% to 44%
F9: Below 40%
Grades D7, E8 and F9 are considered the failing grades. Students taking Mother Tongue Syllabus B may be awarded a Distinction, Merit, Pass, or a Fail grade.
[edit] Junior College Level (GCE A and AO levels)
A: 70% and above
B: 60% to 69%
C: 55% to 59%
D: 50% to 54%
E: 45% to 49% (passing grade)
S: 35% to 44% (denotes standard is at AO level only), grade N in the British A Levels.
U: Below 35%
In addition, students offering Special Papers (offered for the last time in 2006) will be awarded either 1 (Distinction), 2 (Merit), or U (Unclassified). Grades 1 and 2 may only be awarded with a grade E and above in the main A level paper. Grade U will be awarded if a candidate fails to achieve at least a grade E in the main subject paper, and will not be reflected in the A level result cerificate.

For students offering H3 Subjects (introduced for the first time in 2006), they will be awarded either Distinction, Merit, Pass or Fail.

Different JCs have different expectations and thus, the school reserves the discretion to moderate the marks when deemed necessary. For example, some JCs may regard 50% as the passing mark instead of 45% by others.

Note: AO level grades at Junior College level follows the O level system above.

All percentages with their corresponding grades shown here are just approximate guidelines because ultimately at the end of all major examinations (Primary School Leaving Examinations or PSLE in short, GCE N, O and A Levels) the Ministry of Education, Singapore, will moderate the results. Hence, an A grade for instance may no longer be at 70%. It could possibly be 68% or even 73% depending on the performance of the cohort. This is usually done to prevent grade inflation.

In addition, some schools are also offering the International Baccalaureate diploma program.
