One website that really deserves to be banned is STR!! They are partly responsible for instilling fear amongst Singaporeans during DORSCON Orange asking Singaporeans to stock up at least 6 months worth of food and essentials in one of their Facebook posts. . The owner of the website Alex is now hiding in Australia.. . Is there no way the Government can shutdown the website? Singaporeans need to unite during this period. Hit back at the Pap during elections if you are unsatisfied with the government but this is the time to be united and not divided.. . Certainly don't need a website like STR to stir shit.... Some ppl jus wanna watch the world burn... https://www.straitstimes.com/politics/coronavirus-govt-invokes-fake-news-law-against-false-claims-by-states-times-review?utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=STFB&utm_source=Facebook#Echobox=1581692638 SINGAPORE - The States Times Review (STR) Facebook page was on Friday (Feb 14) ordered under the fake news law to put up corrections alongside false statements it made about the coronavirus outbreak. This is the second order issued against STR under the Protection from Online Falsehood and Manipulation Act (Pofma) for bogus claims about the coronavirus crisis. STR had earlier falsely claimed that Singapore ran out of face masks. To date, the law has been used to deal with four cases of falsehoods related to the outbreak of the coronavirus disease, known as Covid-19. On Friday, Health Minister Gan Kim Yong instructed the Pofma Office to issue corrections against "multiple false statements" in a post that STR put up the day before. The post, which was about the 30,000 Chinese work pass holders who have not returned to Singapore, was shared more than 300 times. Among the erroneous claims were that Singapore had not been able to trace the source of infection for any of the infected Covid-19 cases here. The Government described the claims made by STR as "entirely false", and rebutted them point by point in a statement on its fact-checking website, Factually. On the source of infections, the statement said the Ministry of Health (MOH) had in fact established through epidemiological investigations and contact tracing that 51 out of the 58 people infected with the virus either had travelled to China or come from there, or had links to previously announced cases. Contact tracing is under way for the remaining seven locally transmitted cases, to see if there are similar links or travel history to China. The STR had also said the Government is "the only one" telling people not to wear masks. This is not true, as the MOH's advice is in line with the World Health Organisation's guidance, and similar to advice given by health authorities in countries such as the United States and Australia, said the government statement. MOH's advice is that there is no need for people who are well to wear a mask, but those with respiratory symptoms should don one to minimise the risk of infecting others. STR made two other false claims about the daily $100 allowance for workers on a leave of absence, and Manpower Minister Josephine Teo's remarks about Chinese workers. Rebutting the claims, the Government said Chinese work pass holders placed on a mandatory 14-day leave of absence "do not receive the $100 daily support". Though the Leave of Absence Support Programme covers all workers, regardless of nationality, it is employers that receive the support, it added. These employers must have workers who travelled to China on or before Jan 31 this year, and who were placed on leave of absence after returning to Singapore on or after Jan 31. The Government also made clear that Mrs Teo never said she was working hard to bring more Chinese workers back to Singapore. On the contrary, the Manpower Ministry (MOM) has put in measures to slow down the return of affected work pass holders, like requiring employers to get prior approval before their workers can return, said the statement. It has also rejected more applications than it has approved. The STR had also said seven countries have since banned travel to Singapore due to lack of confidence in the measures taken so far to curb the spread of the virus. But as of 8pm on Thursday, there have been no such bans by any countries, said the Government. The STR Facebook page is run by Singaporean Alex Tan, who has received three Pofma orders so far since the laws against misinformation kicked in last October. He has not complied with any of the orders, and said he is now an Australian citizen. Besides issuing a correction order to Mr Tan, the Pofma Office also issued a Targeted Correction Direction to Facebook on Friday, requiring the social media company to put up the corrections on the STR post. The office had done the same in previous Pofma cases involving STR. The Government also advised people to get the latest updates on the Covid-19 situation from official sources such as the MOH website and Gov.sg WhatsApp service, and to report any suspected falsehoods to [email protected].

Kena PHUA KANG TAO!!!!!

Now garmen people really pai tan. Got urge cannot release. Wait Siao chong nao!!!!

Look at today's straits times page a2. 6 US properties for $200k with 25% yield which is garanteed by US garmen. Sounds very good. Anyone got any views...???

In my opinion, housing prices, inflation will not go up too much. because dun forget a good 80% of singaporeans are working class. if prices go beyond their reach, they will become upset and resentful. and more importantly, if 4 years down the road, they vote for the opposition, the stakes are too great. So the current garmen got to and will tackle this problem. to those working class...dun worry too much. that's just my view.

Dear Bros & Sis, Sink-a-Pore has already started sinking... Our government has sold all our power plants and our only petrol company away. I think they keep the $$ into their own pockets... (It's so damn convenient of Temasek Holdings to declare that they are not strictly a sovereign wealth fund too!) Power-Seraya to a unit of Malaysia's YTL Power International for $3.8 billion! Tuas Power went to Chinese firm Huaneng for $4.23 billion! Senoko Power sold to a consortium led by Marubeni Corp for $4 billion! SPC sold to PetroChina for 1.26 billion! Expect electricity, water and fuel costs to keep increasing till no end... Now that we know China purchased so many of our national assets, this easily explains why there are so many "ah tiongs" pouring into Singapore! Our power source is the pulse of our nation. To have sold it away means we are held hostage to foreign countries. Even if we have water source, when there is no electricity, our waters cannot be pumped to our homes. We need to get rid of the LEEches before its too late!

Seow leow, the last time garmen say help low-income, they raise the GST!!! http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/S...ory_622527.html Home > Breaking News > Singapore > Story Jan 10, 2011 Cost of living to soar further: Shanmugaratnam THE rising cost of living, driven partly by higher food prices, is expected to soar further in the first three months of this year before moderating, Finance Minister Tharaman Shanmugaratnam cautioned in Parliament today. But some relief for Singaporeans hurt by the quickening inflation is in store: the upcoming Budget next month will contain measures to help shield them from its impact, he promised. 'The Government will take into account the impact of inflation and the needs of low-income and retiree households when considering further transfers,' said Mr Shanmugaratnam. The minister also hinted that existing assistance schemes such as the ComCare Fund - now holding $800 million - may be enhanced to provide more buffer for the needy. 'Apart from the Budget... we've got ComCare and other schemes which will allow residents who are truly in need to get assistance,'he added. Inflation in Singapore hit 3.8 per cent in November from a year ago, the largest jump since January 2009.

http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking%2BNew...ory_424538.html HDB resale flat prices - already at record high levels - are likely to continue rising this year, said National Development Minister Mah Bow Tan on Wednesday. 'The flat prices would probably go up ... by 1 per cent, 2 per cent,' said Mr Mah. 'It will just keep on going up if the economy recovers as people expect, and if confidence returns but affordability will always be there.' HDB resale prices rose 1.4 per cent in the second quarter to a record high. Resale flat prices go up in tandem with a very strong market, Mr Mah told reporters at the launch of the final skybridge at The Pinnacle@Duxton on Wednesday. 'We subsidised you when you buy and we increased the value of your flat when you live in it and... facilitate you to monetise it when you grow old. This is the best form of investment and welfare for the people,' said the minister. Standing at 50 storeys, The Pinnacle@Duxton is Singapore's tallest public housing development. It sits on the site of the area's first two HDB blocks, which were built 50 years ago. It was the first project in which an international architectural competition was called to get the best design ideas.

Home > Breaking News > Singapore > Story Feb 10, 2009 Jailed for contraband tobacco By Elena Chong A CHINA national was jailed for 23 months on Tuesday for having contraband tobacco and medicinal products. Huang Kexin, 63, pleaded guilty to having 270 kg of duty unpaid tobacco and not paying Goods and Services Tax of $6,800 on the 150 packages found in a rented room in Lorong 16 Geylang on Jan 16. The unpaid duty amounted to $95,040. He also admitted to possessing for retail sale African Black Ant capsules and Power 1 Singapore tablets containing controlled substances. A district court heard that a team of Health Sciences Authority and police officers raided his room and seized a variety of medicines and tobacco. The green tobacco packages were labelled as Chinese tea. Huang told investigators that he had bought the tobacco two days earlier from an unknown China national at $14 a package and had intended to resell them at $20. The medicinal products he had in his possession could only be sold in a registered pharmacy or under the supervision of a pharmacist. Under the Customs Act, he could have been fined up to 20 times the amount of customs duty or tax evaded or $10,000, whichever is greater, and/or jailed for up to three years. Huang could have been fined up to $5,000 and/or jailed for up to two years on each of the Medicines Act charges. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHEN pricing an HDB flat, costs are not taken into account. Its price is based on what the flat is worth at the point of purchase. Calling it a market-based approach, National Development Minister Mah Bow Tan said it was the fairest way of pricing new flats. 'It reflects what the flat is worth at the point of purchase, which may have no relation to what it cost to build,' he added. Mr Mah gave this response in Parliament yesterday to Mr Liang Eng Hwa (Holland-Bukit Panjang GRC) who had asked if the Government would consider pricing flats according to costs. The minister also said that as the HDB did not take into account costs, its building programme suffered losses of $530 million a year over the last three years. Mr Mah said a typical four-room flat in Sengkang costs more than $300,000 to build. This is above the $200,000 to $260,000 price at which HDB sells it. He noted that there were concerns over the high prices of premium flats like the Pinnacle@Duxton, with prices ranging from $457,000 to $645,000. But the prices reflected the value of the flats, which are located in Tanjong Pagar. For every one unit on sale, seven people want to buy it, said Mr Mah. It shows people are willing to pay for flats with good value, he added. http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking+News/...ory_303979.html
