so after all speculations the other time when he was doing his daily 1 minute video that he was gg to shift to sg, he is finally gg to do so! not so much of a shocker after all. SINGAPORE - Seven months after he visited Singapore, popular video blogger Nas Daily is moving to the island. In an Instagram post on Wednesday (March 20), his girlfriend Alyne Tamir announced that she and the blogger, whose real name is Mr Nuseir Yassin, will be moving to the Republic in the future. Their stay could be "two months or two years", she said. In her post, she said: "Singapore is the hub of Asia, and arguably a major hub of the world." It is why Mr Yassin is moving his company to the Republic, she added. The Nas Daily Company is currently based in the United States. Mr Yassin, a 27-year-old Palestinian-Israeli, was initially more coy about the move on his own social media platforms. On Wednesday, he posted an Instagram story featuring an article which highlighted the most expensive cities in the world for expatriates to live in, according to a survey released by the Economist Intelligence Unit. In his Instagram story, he wrote: "Most expensive city: Singapore! (See you next month)". In response to queries from The Straits Times over e-mail, Mr Yassin confirmed that he was moving to Singapore in April. He added that no arrangements have been made for his move, but the timing is to ensure "enough time to get the legalities out of the way". In an Instagram post on Wednesday afternoon, about 10 hours after his girlfriend's post, he said there are many reasons why he chose Singapore to call home, but it was mainly due to his belief that "this part of Asia might be the new America" and the "world's best place... to live and to build up the Nas Daily Media Company". There is no fixed timeframe for his stay, he added. The Harvard graduate, who has more than 12 million followers on his Facebook channel, travelled the world for three years, documenting his experiences in one-minute videos.

Sibeh no common sense, this pastry shop. No matter what negative feedback customers give you, just thank them for their valued comments and promise to improve so as to serve them better in future. In fact the reply letter can be saved as a standard template. Source Online Only - You mean bloggers can't speak their minds? Letter from Kaelyn Ong 07:30 PM Oct 12, 2009As an avid food blogger, I share my dining experiences (whether good or bad) with my readers. Sometimes, I would also send an email to the restaurants after dining there to offer my thanks and feedback. That was what I did after visiting a local pastry boutique (I will not disclose its name at this point. It will be referred to as "X"). I praised X on its boutique decor and also commented that the desserts can be further improved on. The next day, I was shocked and disappointed to read X's reply. To cut a long email short, the gist is that she has referred my blog url to her legal consultant and wanted me to remove my post within 24hours to avoid any legal proceedings, if any. I was appalled by this and hence, decided to write to this forum as I believe this raised interesting questions that may be of interest to your readers. 1. Are local F&B players that unreceptive to negative feedback? I can understand that owners will naturally be defensive towards their business but criticisms are only meant to spur them on to improve further and add value. If feedback is not appreciated, then won't all the emphasis on good customer service be for naught? In the email, X accused me of influencing the readers and creating a misconception of its reputation. I highly doubt that X's email to me would be the same if I have written a fabulous review on them. Wouldn't that be hypocritical since I can also "influence" others with my good comments? 2. In recent years, food bloggers have been making a splash in the local dining scene. The more established ones have been invited to food tastings by restaurants, all in the hope of attracting more customers. As such, are food bloggers only "allowed" to write raving reviews and avoid negative ones? It disturbed me greatly that X actually wants me to remove my post just because it was not a glowing review. What does this say about free speech then? If bloggers are not permitted to speak their minds without being threatened by potential lawsuits, then what is the point of blogging? Of course, this is on the assumption that bloggers are socially responsible in viewing their views online for all to see. And has this type of incidents happened to other food bloggers before and they have not spoke up about it? Of course, I did not remove the post on X as I believe that nothing I posted can be construed as being libel. Not once did I say any derogatory remarks or discourage readers not to visit X. There is also a disclaimer on my blog saying that all comments are based on personal preference. I have replied X's email yesterday but there has been no reply since. This letter is definitely not a complaint. I am just concerned with this issue and would like to know what the public thinks about it. Food blogging is just a personal interest for many of us; it takes time, effort and commitment to maintain a blog. Page 1 of 1

SINGAPORE - A self-employed man was sentenced to three weeks in jail on Monday for slapping teenage blogger Amos Yee outside the State Courts last month. Neo Gim Huah, 49, was charged in court on Monday. He was not represented and gave a long mitigation plea in Chinese, explaining why he did it. He told the court earlier he wanted to teach Yee a lesson. Neo, who runs his own air-conditioning and electrical engineering business, said he had taken offence at portions of the video posted online by Yee which he found disrespectful to Singapore's founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew. He closely monitored the case and intended to confront and slap the blogger before his first two court appearances as he felt that the teenager's actions had portrayed Singapore in a negative light. Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) Winston Man said Neo initially restrained himself and did not confront Yee until his third court appearance on April 30 when he realised the teenager had flouted his bail conditions. Neo also believed that it would be difficult for the criminal justice system to deal effectively with Yee because of his age. On the afternoon of April 30, he waited at the State Courts for Yee to arrive. He knew the media was present when he slapped the blogger, and deliberately committed the offence as he wanted the assault to be publicised "so that the world at large would know that the victim was being taught a lesson''. Neo was arrested at about 2am the next day. Arguing for a sentence of two weeks' jail, DPP Man said Neo's offence was pre-meditated and featured a strong element of vigilantism, which undermined law enforcement mechanisms and the criminal justice system. "Public confidence in law enforcement mechanics and the criminal justice system will also be eroded if there is a widespread perception that it is acceptable to take the law into one's own hands and resort to violence in order to address a perceived injustice,'' he said. Neo said in his mitigation letter that Yee had been disrespectful to Singapore's founding father and insulted him, making all of Mr Lee's contributions "worthless''. He said Yee, whom he described as a "clever child'', had let everyone down. "What I feel is what everybody is feeling," he said. Slapping him would instil fear in the teenager, let him know what the ways of the world are and teach him a lesson, Neo said. He said he knew it was wrong to slap Yee but could not control himself. He could be jailed for up to two years and/or fined up to $5,000.

Who is filming his programme here..... Yahoo news: Sex bloggers get court’s nod to travel to Singapore to film life story Sex bloggers Alvin Tan and Vivian Lee succeeded in getting back their passports from the court today, pending a trial over their controversial Ramadan "greeting" last year, as they are scheduled to travel to Singapore for the filming of a programme on their life story. Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court judge Abdul Rashid Daud allowed the two to have their passports back until June 3, based on an application by their lawyer Chong Joo Tian. The prosecution led by deputy public prosecutor Wan Shaharuddin Wan Ladin did not object to the return of the passports, but asked that Tan and Lee, who are popularly known as “Alvivi”, not to comment on the pending case during the filming of the programme in Singapore. Chong said later that the judge also waived a pre-set condition for them to report to the police station on June 1. He said upon their return on June 3, they would have to return their passports to the court and would be required to continue reporting to the nearest police station at the beginning of each month. Last month, the Court of Appeal struck out a charge under the Penal Code against the two sex bloggers on grounds that it was not applicable to non-Muslims. The charge under Section 298 – for stirring hostility between religions – was struck out on the grounds that the law was meant to ensure the smoothness of the practice of Islam among its followers, not those of other religions. However, Tan and Lee still face two other charges under the Film Censorship Act and Sedition Act for allegedly publishing a photograph with the comment "Selamat Berbuka Puasa (dengan bak kut teh... wangi, enak, menyelerakan)" which contained a halal logo and allegedly seditious statements, and for displaying pornographic images on their blog. The duo's postings on July 11 last year triggered furious reactions from Malaysians of all races, following which they removed the posting and uploaded a new picture of them eating ketupat, rendang and curry puffs. However, the Facebook page was later removed. The trial date at the Sessions Court has yet to be fixed as the Attorney-General's Chambers is appealing against the Court of Appeal decision on Section 298 of the Penal Code. – May 12, 2014.

The couple, known collectively as Alvivi, had posted this on New Year's Day: "Alvivi is going to split soon. Thanks for following us but this is the end. #ThatsIt." The pair's relationship - which made headlines after they broadcasted their sexual exploits online in 2012 - was said to be on the rocks after Tan, 25, found out that Lee, 24, had cheated on him with another man.

To kill herself. http://tnp.sg/content/blogger-arrested-aft...l-herself-hotel Local blogger Jiang Lai sparked a cyberspace furore last month with her controversial remark that "only ACS(I) boys are worth dating". Now, she may be in a spot of real-world trouble with the police. The New Paper understands that Miss Jiang, 23, was arrested on May 13 over an incident at the Fairmont Singapore. It is understood that Miss Jiang created a ruckus when she was asked to place a deposit while trying to check in for a week's stay. At one point, she threatened to commit suicide and later started mumbling incoherently. The New Paper also understands that a woman has also made a police report against her. In a posting on May 7 on her blog, Miss Jiang had allegedly threatened to pour concentrated hydrochloric acid on the woman's face.

The following sentences are extracted from the Caucasian's blog: "But Singaporeans really are frustratingly stupid. "Fortunately their birthrate is only about 1.25, so they will all die off soon enough. "Hopefully the Chinese, Malays and Indians that replace them will be smarter. "I don't like criticizing the intellectually handicapped, but in Singapore there would be few left others to criticize. "Singaporeans don't seem to be able to think for themselves. "An absolute herd mentality." ...This white trash born loser who does not know how to blend into the society and manipulate to his advantage....still dare to voice his shallowness criticism in the public forum.

May 21, 2008 Blogger arrested for posting racist online content He claims that he wrote it only for friends and will apologise online A LOCAL blogger who ranted about a commuter's behaviour on an MRT train was arrested on Tuesday night. Police said the 24-year-old Chinese man was taken from his home at Paya Lebar Way at about 9.45 pm for 'posting contents in his blog which may wound the racial feelings of another person'. A computer, believed to be used to post the suspect's blog, was seized for investigations, which are ongoing. The case came to the attention of police on May 19 when they received two reports complaining of the alleged posts by the suspect. According to a report in The New Paper on Wednesday, the blog was apparently sparked off by the suspect seeing a man of an another race sitting on the floor of an MRT train. The blogger, an undergraduate, allegedly wrote: 'There he sat, unaffected by his surroundings, smelling like he didn't showered (sic) in years and wore some really scary dirty clothes...' He went on to make other offensive comments about that racial group in his tirade, drawing flak from local netizens, who called him a racist. One net-user wrote: 'Stupidity has nothing to do with race at all. Just look to that blogger for proof that stupidity transcends all races.' Added another: 'Some things, once said, cannot be retraced. Don't even make such stupid remarks in the first place.' Under Section 298 of the Penal Code, Chapter 224, anyone with deliberate intention of wounding the religious or racial feelings of any person, causes any matter however represented to be seen or heard by that person, can be jailed up to three years, or fine, or both, if convicted. Deputy Commander of Central Police Div HQ, Superintendent Lee Ping Yue, in a statement late on Tuesday, said that police take a serious view of such irresponsible blog postings in a multi-racial society like Singapore and 'will expend all efforts in tracking the perpetrators'. Interviewed by TNP earlier on Tuesday before his arrest, the blogger said he was sorry for what he had written and would be more mindful of what he says in his blog in future. He said he was shocked by the furore over his blog entry, which he said was only intended for his close friends. He added that he was surprised that the entry, which was written two months ago, started circulating only days ago. 'I am a very expressive person - my style of writing is over the top. I write this way to make my entries more punchy and exciting,' he told TNP. He denied being a racist and maintained that he did not harbour any ill will towards the racial group he wrote about. But he let on that he was in a particularly bad mood the day he wrote the blog entry. 'I meant what I wrote in a different way. If people read it in another way, there is nothing much I can do,' he said, adding that he planned to put up an online apology for his comments. He has removed the post and password-protected his blog, which was featured on blog aggregator Tomorrow.sg, and linked to several popular online forums. http://www.straitstimes.com/Latest%2BNews/...ory_239545.html told u all liaoz.. careful when u tok abt monks.
