I am looking at cars put up by direct sellers at sgcarmart. I am willingly to offer 10k above the dereg value for a2 to 3 years old car Is this consider fair value? If not, what is the typical value for such cars?

Is it true that the legal sector charge clients like what is being accused here by Mdm Chang for such cases? Any lawyer bros or bros familiar with such care to comment? From ST Forum: http://www.straitstimes.com/STForum/Story/...ory_773737.html Offer guidelines for legal fees Published on Mar 5, 2012 I RECENTLY engaged a lawyer to settle a tenancy dispute. I was told that legal costs are time-based and my straightforward case would cost about $5,000. However, the final bill came up to $23,000 - about five times the original estimate. The lawyer claimed that the additional costs arose because he had to spend more time on my case, submitting five affidavits instead of three as expected initially. The charges were billed over three instalments, two of which amounting to $20,000 were when the case was in progress and I felt compelled to pay so as not to jeopardise the proceedings. Then came the final bill of $3,000. I called the Law Society of Singapore, only to find out that there are no guidelines for legal fees, unlike for the medical profession, which until recently had them to guard against overcharging. I was told to find out about the fees charged by other lawyers, and was given figures of $4,000 and $5,000 by two law firms. Proportionally speaking, if three affidavits cost $5,000, five should cost only about $8,000. And if the affidavits are largely the same, with each subsequent one incorporating new points to refute the rebuttals of the defendant, should the fees not be incremental instead of being multiples of five? There should be fee guidelines to ensure that professionals are not given a free hand when billing their clients. The Law Society and the Consumers Association of Singapore should look into how legal fees are charged. Chang Lee Lee (Madam)

Students from St Joseph's Institution and SJI International who want to pursue further studies at Cambridge University can get some support with a new scholarship. The SJI Foundation - a registered charity that supports Lasallian schools here and in the region - partnered the British university's Christ's College earlier this month to set up a bond-free scholarship for students. The foundation will award up to two scholarships a year, starting next year. These are for candidates to pursue a full-time undergraduate degree at Christ's College, one of the 29 colleges of Cambridge.

The Straits Times The Straits Times Published on Dec 16, 2011 Printed from straitstimes.com George Yeo joins Kuok Group as vice-chairman of Kerry Group (HK) By Rachel Chang Former foreign minister George Yeo has joined the Kuok Group as vice-chairman of its Hong Kong holding company, Kerry Group. In a post on his Facebook profile, he said the appointment takes effect from Jan 1, 2012, and that he will be based in both Hong Kong and Singapore.

A STOMPer was concerned to see a girl openly looking for a sugar daddy to support her on facebook. In the facebook posting, the girl asked for someone who could 'make her high, bring her to parties and take her shopping'. Said the STOMPer: "I found this on facebook, where this young girl was seeking a sugar daddy. "It's unbelievable how girls have become these days."

Award winning teacher sexually abused students Amanda Phua | The New Paper | Fri Mar 30 2012 Pervert. Monster. The adjectives can flow but nothing quite describes what a 38-year-old primary school teacher did to three of his male pupils. The Chinese language teacher had robbed them of their innocence. The Straits Times reported that the teacher had won several school awards and had received letters of prais from parents. He also sat on the school's disciplinary committee to handle its most difficult students and had been voted 'most caring teacher' by students. However, on March 12, he pleaded guilty to two counts of sexually penetrating a minor and two counts of outraging the modesty of two other victims. He carried out the acts in 2009. Two of his victims were only eight when he acted out his desires. Another was 11. He was jailed 10 years yesterday, but the boys' suffering could last much longer. Perhaps the most apt description of the teacher is that he's unrepentent. In his mitigation, the teacher simply offered: "I hope that the court will take into consideration that I have no previous criminal record and to be lenient in sentencing." But what of the boys? It has been devastating, a victim impact statement revealed. Two years after he was abused by his teacher, one of his victims was caught inappropriately touching a fellow student last year. Oral sex The victim was only eight when the teacher performed oral sex on him twice. When asked why he touched his classmate, the boy broke down. He was later referred to a counsellor. The boy's father had revealed the incident in a victim impact statement. The father said he too was suffering. He saw a psychiatrist to deal with work and family stress, and said his financial situation was also affected because of the costs of the counsellor and psychiatrist both he and his son had been seeing. Having to keep his son's suffering a secret from his own parents "took a tremendous toll on him", deputy public prosecutor S. Sellakumaran told the court. And though they may have been young when they were abused, the vile acts will haunt them, psychiatrists told The New Paper. Dr Brian Yeo, a consultant psychiatrist at Mount Elizabeth Hospital, said victims can end up with more sexualised behaviour like touching themselves at a younger age. He added: "It's not just his sexual maturity that will be affected, but also his emotional state. In this case, the teacher had a duty of care, so the boy may also find it difficult to trust people, or to talk to people, because the person he trusted abused his position of authority." And the boys can also end up feeling guilty. "The victims may blame themselves for getting the teacher into trouble. Hence, reaction from their parents is important. "If the parents or adults around them scream, shout and blame them, they will feel guilty even when they are the victims," said Dr Yeo. Psychiatrist Adrian Wang said for some young victims, the impact is not immediate. He said: "It doesn't affect them less significantly because they grow up with the memory. And as they mature, they will think more and more about what happened to them as a child and they might feel violated. "There is a potential for it to continue to traumatise them as years go by." Dr Wang echoed Dr Yeo's concern that the abuser was someone who was supposed to protect the victims. Confusing He said: "When the protector becomes a tormentor and deceives you into doing something like this, it is very confusing for the child. They are unsure of their role in it, hence it causes guilt. "For young kids from the age of eight to 10, it causes a mixture of fear as well as disgust because they expect adults to protect him." Dr Wang said parents often blame themselves when a child is abused. He added: "Putting the accused in jail gives the family a sense that justice was done, that the accused cannot harm them anymore and that things were set right." He molested kids on school premises The teacher was jailed 10 years and ordered to be given six strokes of the cane. Seven other similar offences were taken into consideration during sentencing. The teacher enticed two of the victims, aged eight and 11, with a portable game device, then sexually abused them. The acts took place from early 2009 to July the same year. Of the four cases the accused was charged with, three took place in the primary school's computer lab and one took place in the male staff toilet. All were during curriculum time. His disturbing acts came to light only when the school's principal received two complaints from a parent and a pupil about the teacher's inappropriate touching on July 17, 2009. It is not clear if the complainants are involved in the case. Deterrent Asking for a stiff deterrent to be meted out, deputy public prosecutor S. Sellakumaran compared the case to a previous one. In the previous case, the parents of the victim allowed their child to associate with the culprit. However, said DPP Sellakumaran: "The parents of the victims in the present cases had no similar choice. "They could not decide on which teachers would be teaching their children. "Indeed, they had no reason to so decide as they were entitled to expect that all teachers in the school would uphold the unreserved trust placed in them and adhere to the highest professional and moral standards." He added that the victims in this case had no choice but to return to school.

In fact when this A**es put up for bail and declared that they are required to travel to...blah blah country, doesn't our judicial system smell a rat after the Romanian have escaped in the same manner. (except no bail) IMO, we really needed to buck-up our Law system....I wonder how is our MIW will handle this issue further down. Forummers what's your take on this case? Thanks for your feed back.

Guys, i hope i am not too early to ask this. any offers from the petrol stations for the CNY abalone offers?

....wah jialat liddat. Now Gahmen must take care of ppl liddis too.....knn, never hear of taxi ah OWNING a car is a necessity, not a dream, for a family with young children. Just think of the daily morning rush to send a child to day care or a baby to the grandparents' homes. From prams to milk bottles, diapers to food, change of clothing to wet wipes, the list of mandatory baby or child supplies is long and difficult to trundle if one has to resort to public transport. The weekend is short when one has children and errands must be undertaken with the entire family in tow. How do you visit the bank, take the child to the doctor, buy groceries and visit the grandparents in a day? Answer: By having a car, which makes a significant difference in the quality of life for Singapore families. The Government has announced further reduction in vehicle growth rate which will ratchet up prices of certificates of entitlement (COE) further, beyond the reach of young couples. The Government should consider offering COE rebates for cars with 1,600cc capacity and less to families with at least one child, and rebates for bigger-capacity cars to families with at least two children. The latter takes into consideration families with grandparents, two young children (two car seats required) and a maid. For a family with young children, a car is not an optional, flashy plaything. Wang Siang Ling (Ms)

I have a question regarding breaking the offer of overseas employment. A friend of mine was recently offered a position in the US. He has signed on the offer letter in Sept and is scheduled to start work sometime in Jan/Feb next year. The company is now processing the VISA and has engaged agents to make arrangements for his relocation. For family reasons, he may not be able to join the company, but he has already signed on the offer letter and arrangements for relocation is already in progress. In such a case, how much money does he need to compensate that company? Does anyone has a rough idea? Thanks.
