Seriously something is wrong here. A disgraced, on-the-run lawyer here could practice his trade in the Land of the Free & even travel frequently overseas for work? For 6 freaking years?!! Is it that the authorities never raise to INTERPOL's attention or if done so, no one basically "hue" our little red dot? Luckily some German was alert enough to arrest this joker and justice was served.

GRC is a stoopid political loophole to send undeserved candidates into Parliament. Here is my take on what GRC should work. All GRCs should be dissolved before election. Each candidate should then be in charge of an area like an SMC. After election, whether PAP or Opp or mixed parties, they will form the new GRC to serve the residents in their areas. If the MP is capable, he will then go on to hold a portfolio. For those who say the percentage is an indication that PAP will wake up from their sleep... My advise is YOU are the one who should WAKE UP. A loss is a loss. Just like football. Whether you lose by 1-0 or 5-0, it is still a loss. GY was the only one who acknowledged that a change is needed and now he is gone. None of the others think a change was needed. You think MBT, WKS think the same? They will import more FT/FW and give more of them citizenships to boost their chances in the next GE. Now it is 1/3 population of foreigners. Very soon, it will be 1/2. And of the other 1/2, many will be new citizens. We are screwed yet again. Just my 2cents.

Hi, All this is a carforum, we share our encounters - good or bad. especially it comes to a workshop that does not work for customer interests hopefully this thread will reveal the truth and urgliness . . . pls contribute if you had these experiences.... I spent 2 nights reasoning with my fren to help him to minimize his loses - here it goes: my fren met an accident last month. while he was hospitalised (a few days), his wife helped to settle the car by assigning a workshop they thought was good (as recommended) for 3rd party claim. inevitably, my fren had to approved & authorised workshop to go ahead - repair work & necessary claims. of cos, the other party deny all faults & offer 50-50% (this is norm). but my fren has photos to proof & also traffic summon was also issued to the other party, thus its at least a 80-20% assumptions. under most circumtances of this case, workshop whom act on interest of customer will - try to repair fast (minimal loss of use) or within surveyors' designated duration - engage lawyer to expedite the claims if they know whos right/wrong or confidence however, my fren's workshop din even pressure the other party insurance - & took a month to repair my fren's car (only bodyworks). during the repair, the workshop actually promised and agreed upfront that the repair will include the rims and bodykits, but sit on it until when my fren start chasing. Then my fren was requested to get the rims & BK himself and be reimbursed when claim is successful. So no choice, my fren obliged so as to expedite the work. now, finally car collection (a month later), the workshop insisted that the rims & BK were not his scope of works. workshop even blamed my fren's for delaying the repairs. worse, workshop : - insisted that my fren should only get back stock parts only (rims etc.) - only replaced with 2nd hand tires to my fren - invoiced my fren for the BK works workshop told my fren that he has 2 paths: A - either take it as it is (pay up 1st) & continue approval for workshop with the insurance claims (not settled yet) B - pay up all repair works and do the insurance claims himself ................................................................................ ................................ after much consideration, I told my fren to take option A as not to avoid further loses (eg. further loss of use). those whom faced similar situations will definitely agreed with me. there are a lot of calculations & reasons to this option!!! now, I'm thinking of how to help my fren to get back the workshop when the insurance claims is concluded - suggestions??? I'm only worried the workshop will duress my fren to accept 80-20% offer when he has the chance to fight for 100-0%. your thoughts???
