S’pore Launches Real-Time Maps That Let You Siam Crowds In Malls & Parks source: https://mustsharenews.com/real-time-maps-singapore/ Real-Time Singapore Maps Help Show You Where Crowds Are Gathered With stringent social distancing measures expected to gain full steam in the weeks ahead, you may be wondering how to siam the crowds without disrupting your daily routines. That’s where we can rely on the wonders of modern technology — aka real-time maps that show where crowds are gathered. Spaceout – launched by Gov.sg on Saturday (4 Apr) – does exactly what its name entails. Accessing the site is as simple as clicking the URL here, which will take you directly to a map of Singapore. Use real-time maps to avoid the kiasu shopping crowds Most “non-essential” stores are due to close for a month from Tuesday (7 Apr), so you’d assume there’d be much fewer people at malls. But don’t forget that food places and supermarkets will still be open, which only means one thing — customers stocking up on basic necessities. Since malls are likely to continue with safe distancing measures like controlling visitor counts, there may still be lines forming outside on certain days when people flock to buy items. If only there was a way to know beforehand, so you can save yourself from queuing. Thankfully, the government has thought of that before any of us could complain, and created SpaceOut.Gov.Sg, an interactive real-time map. According to the website, the map helps you “find out crowd levels in malls across Singapore before you head out to buy essential goods and services.” You can zoom in and out on certain areas and click on the multi-coloured dots to check the crowds at different malls. They even gauge crowds throughout the day so you can estimate before going. If only this existed way before the outbreak. Those of us who hate crowds would’ve appreciated the platform. Nonetheless, SpaceOut.Gov.Sg may become an indispensable tool, especially with serious concerns about safe distancing now. Exercise or take a walk in peace Fortunately for us, we can still carry out leisurely activities like exercising or taking a walk in the park. While sweating it out feels great and healthy, doing so in close proximity with others may not be very pleasant. We’re not sure how they’re tracking crowds in parks, but National Parks Board (NParks) has managed to do it with Safe Distance @ Parks. The platform works the same way as SpaceOut.Gov.Sg, so you’ll have no trouble navigating. Now you can siam all the others who also wish to get some fresh air, keeping safe and fit at the same time. Stay home & avoid crowds as much as possible Both sites are still under development, so don’t expect to get full features right away. Regardless, the basics available now are good enough, so make full use of the convenience. Better still, stay home if you don’t have a necessary reason to go out, and limit interactions to your direct family only. A large part of Singapore’s ability to overcome Covid-19 relies on all of us, so let’s do our best to comply with the advisories.

Dear Forumers Too many analysis on the COE trend with all kind of theory, assumptions and predictions. I would think the best is still for Forumers who patronized the car showroom to share and upload 1st hand information probably with photos, crowd condition, sale condition etc of each AD in systematic way. With the real field situation, it will be more useful for everyone to know how likely hood the demand of COE in coming months. Any suggestions?

Anyone going ? Post FR here. Nothing to buy but if my interest catches it, I might

Came across this link in my facebook. https://moolahsense.com/running-campaign.php?company=Beauty Clicked, and woots... a bond that promises 21% returns per year. And already raised 82% of its required capital?? My first thoughts... why does the company raising the funds want to give 21% interest? Loan sharks is only 24% afterall!! 2nd thoughts. Deal sounds too good to be true for the investors. Damn bloody risky. But with just a simple video and wall of text, they can get $200K? S'poreans money very easy to take.

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/blogs/what-is-buzzing/-human-tetris--takes-place-on-jammed-lakeside-mrt-platform-031532683.html A video of passengers crashing against one another at the top of an escalator leading to the platform of a train station in Singapore is moving quickly on social media, prompting questions about the responsiveness of staff there. The 36-second video, posted by Facebook user Joel Rasis, shows commuters arriving at the platform of Lakeside MRT station from an up-riding escalator, but because the area appears to be full, they promptly end up sandwiched between one another. This goes on continuously for at least 25 seconds before the camera pans down to the ticket concourse level, where staff appear to have just stopped commuters from stepping onto the escalator. A report on the incident in citizen journalism portal STOMP quoted Rasis as saying there was a train fault affecting eastbound service at about 7:40am on Tuesday. What happened was commuters were instructed to get off the train, and at the very same time, a new batch of commuters were heading to the platform on the escalator, he reportedly said. There was basically no more space on the platform, he added, noting that the next train toward Pasir Ris only arrived about 20 minutes later.

Hougang must have the highest concentration of bums with nothing to do. I have never seen so many people cheering the fact they are living in a slum. They rejected a credible young star, upgraded toilets and even free legal service for some bum who only recieved 1 vote in a closed door meeting. I wonder how to liberate these people from their years of being brainwashed. The DPM already tried his best but still failed. Funeral mourners also come and cheer

STOMPer Kirbyzxc was on his way to work when he was delayed by a train service disruption along the North South Line. This is the most recent in a series of incidents involving SMRT trains having problems that lead to a service disruption. Said the STOMPer: "Today, SMRT was facing problems yet again. "I am rushing to work yet the train service has been disrupted. "This is not the first time. "SMRT has disappointed us by having so much problems. "I hope they will keep they train service in order all the time. "Because of this incident, Somerset MRT station packed with people early in the morning. http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/stomp/sg..._yet_again.html

No MRT service. Will the crowd be lesser? Will the retailers scold SMRT?

Yesterday Marine Parade GRC held a rally at geylang east, anyone know how was the crowd size? Heard buangkok PAP rally is pathetic with only 2.5K people. HAHAHA

With the COE boomz , wonder if the show room is crowded or not this weekend? Anyone went car shopping this weekend care to share?

THE SPOILED UNDER-30 CROWD!!! If you are 30 or older you will think this is hilarious!!!! When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were. When they were growing up; what with walking Twenty-five miles to school every morning.... Uphill... barefoot... BOTH ways Yadda, yadda, yadda And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way in hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on my kids about how hard I had it and how easy they've got it! But now that... I'm over the ripe old age of thirty, I can't help but look around and notice the youth of today. You've got it so easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a damn Utopia! And I hate to say it, but you kids today, you don't know how good you've got it! I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have The Internet. If we wanted to know something, we had to go to the damn library and look it up ourselves, in the card catalogue!! There was no email!! We had to actually write somebody a letter - with a pen! Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in the mailbox and it would take, like, a week to get there! Stamps were 10 cents! Child Protective Services didn't care if our parents beat us. As a matter of fact, the parents of all my friends also had permission to kick our ass! Nowhere was safe! There were no MP3' s or Napsters! If you wanted to steal music, you had to hitchhike to the damn record store and shoplift it yourself! Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ would usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up! There were no CD players! We had tape decks in our car. We'd play our favorite tape and "eject" it when finished and the tape would come undone. Cause - that's how we rolled, dig? We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone and somebody else called they got a busy signal, that's it! And we didn't have fancy Caller ID either! When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your mom, your boss, your bookie, your drug dealer, a collections agent, you just didn't know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances, mister! We didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation video games with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games like 'Space Invaders' and 'Asteroids'. Your guy was a little square! You actually had to use your imagination!! And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen... forever! And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and harder and faster and faster until you died! Just like LIFE! You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on! You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off your ass and walk over to the TV to change the channel! NO REMOTES!!! There was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday Morning. Do you hear what I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK for cartoons, you spoiled little rat-b------ds! And we didn't have microwaves, if we wanted to heat something up we had to use the stove! Imagine that! That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it too easy. You're spoiled. You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in 1980 or before! Regards, The Over 30 Crowd (Send this to someone you'd like to make smile, Whether they are under 30 or not.)

On my way home, I was driving past Eunos, and the showrooms there seemed to be packed with people, on a Monday evening! It caught me by surprise but I guess these people were trying to beat the next COE bidding due this Wed. So it looks like prices will only head North.
