3 in 5 S’poreans say they’re likely to buy cryptocurrency, but may not understand it, making them possible targets for scammers

SINGAPORE: A report from international consultancy C|T Group shows that three out of five Singaporeans will likely invest in cryptocurrency in the next few years. Over half of the individuals who participated in the study said they own or had once owned cryptocurrency.

However, the understanding of cryptocurrencies or blockchain technology is not high among those surveyed. When asked, “How confidently do you think you would be able to explain” these, more than two-fifths, or 42 per cent—said they’re ‘not at all’ confident explaining these terms.

C|T Group, which recently opened a branch in Singapore, published a report entitled “What Singaporeans Think About Cryptocurrency,” based on data gathered from surveys conducted in both English and Mandarin earlier this month of over 1,000 Singaporeans from the age of 18 and over representing the population by age, gender, location and ethnic group.

“One big takeaway is that Singaporeans want to invest in this new financial instrument, but their knowledge of it is low. To extrapolate, this can mean that our people can be easy targets for scammers,” a source working with C|T Group told The Independent Singapore.

The respondents said that investing in cryptocurrency is perceived as a risk rather than an opportunity, due to a lack of protection and the possibility of loss, especially when it comes to retirement savings.

Nevertheless, investing in cryptocurrency is also believed by those surveyed to be a way for people to get ahead and gain financial stability.

The survey showed that the respondents were not very aware of developments in the cryptocurrency world, with less than one-third saying they are definitely aware of cryptocurrency companies going defunct as well as of major cases of cryptocurrency scams or frauds.

In the same way, only 31 per cent were aware that sovereign wealth fund Temasek Holdings had written down its investments in cryptocurrency exchange company FTX.

Even fewer, or 19 per cent, were aware of cryptocurrency firms leaving Singapore and setting up in other locations instead.

Almost 2 in 5 (39 per cent) said they were most concerned about major cases of cryptocurrency scams or fraud. /TISG

SINGAPORE: A foreign domestic helper took to social media to say that she has a very calculative employer who refused to give or take a few days when paying her salary.

The post was shared to a Facebook help group by the maid’s friend, who wrote that the maid had worked for nearly six years with this specific employer. Because the maid had started working for her employer on Dec 17, the employer took that date as the date she paid the helper’s salary.

After her two-year contract, the maid went on leave and returned to work on Dec 22. The employer then took this new date as her helper’s salary date. In the post, the maid added that the date should not be changed based on her leave and that her employer was very calculative.

Other helpers who commented on the post agreed that the employer was being calculative. The maid herself also said that going to MOM may prove to cause more friction between her and her employer.

Here’s what others wrote:

Earlier in the week, an employer of a foreign domestic helper took to social media asking if she was obliged to give her helper an advance on her salary.

In an anonymous post to a Facebook group for domestic helpers, the woman wrote that her maid had been working for her for eight months. “Few days back she wanted to advance her 2.5k. When asked for the reason, the money will be used for the downpayment for her house”, she wrote. She explained that the maid asked for $500 to be deducted from her salary for the next five months to make up for the advance payment.

“Should we as employers be obliged to advance her pay? Also, we are afraid if we don’t she would do something funny with our young kids. Appreciate all of your feedback on this matter”, the woman wrote, asking others in the group for advice.

On the Manpower Ministry (MOM) website, under allowable salary deductions was the following: “For recovering advances, loans, overpaid salary or unearned employment benefits.

Maid wants $2.5K advance salary; employer wants to know if they’re obliged to give as they’re worried helper might “do something funny with our young kids”

SINGAPORE: Earlier this month, Workers’ Party MP Leon Perera (Aljunied GRC) called upon the Ministry of National Development to expedite its current review regarding penalties for individuals found to be cruel to their pet animals.

And in a Facebook post on Tuesday (Mar 28), Mr Perera wrote that “People who are cruel to animals will often go on to be cruel to human beings too,” noting that aside from calling on the National Parks Board (Parks) to implement stronger penalties for animal cruelty, he underlined the need for a “complementary restorative approach that seeks to reform animal abusers and also pre-empt acts of cruelty through education.”

SINGAPORE: Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s wife, Ho Ching, has condemned the behaviour of a woman who criticised a supermarket worker for not being able to speak in English in a lengthy social media post. Mdm Ho said that she herself is linguistically challenged, as she defended the NTUC Fairprice worker.

Suggesting that the customer’s words and actions were a form of bullying, the Temasek Trust chairperson said: “Being Singaporean is more than just a birthright or a passport. Being Singaporean is to know that we must make a living through making friends all over the world. Being Singaporean means to carry ourselves with discipline, respect and humility. Brash bravado, and boastful bullying, have no place in the Singapore soul.”

The BTO at Tampines St 62 is a cluster of flats distinguished by three colourways: red, yellow and blue. While families were excited to move into the brand-new development, some were put off by how garish the colours were in certain areas, like the lift landings.

Netizens upset even after an apology was issued for pork found in Ramadan bazaar at Marsiling

SINGAPORE: An apology was issued after pork was found at a Ramadan bazaar, Bazar Raya Utar Marsiling, and action was taken to stop its sale.

And while the Facebook page Marsiling: Our Community, Our Home assured that the community organization will endeavour to prevent such instances from recurring, netizens remained unhappy that the oversight had occurred at all, with some asking, “Where is the sensitivity and the respect for Muslims in Singapore?”

The sale of pork in an unspecified number of stalls was discovered by Marsiling Constituency Office last weekend and “The organisers have engaged with the operator and have taken immediate corrective steps to stop the sale of pork,” the post reads, adding “We would like to thank members of the public for sharing your concerns. We apologise for any inconvenience and concerns caused.”

The post also wished to assure residents and bazaar patrons that the utmost would be done “to provide as best as a Ramadan experience as we can, this includes performances during the weekends as well as halal/Muslim-owned and non-halal stalls to cater to all residents. We look forward to residents’ kind understanding and their strong support to the event.”

However, some comments on the post appeared to believe that the damage had been done, and others questioned whether it should be called a Ramadan bazaar at all.

One woman wrote, “Where is the sensitivity and the respect for Muslims in Singapore? I wonder if there has been any consultation process in organising this event in the holy month of Ramadan. I think it doesn’t take much to think, if you are a true blue Singaporean, to know that Muslims do not consume Pork and anything related to it.”

“What is so difficult about having all halal food stalls? There can be many non Muslims selling other stuff like clothing or decorations. It is still a multi ethnic experience,” pointed out one Facebook user.

Another chimed in, “If there are non halal stalls please do not call it Ramadan Bazaar, as Muslim hold dearly to that holy month. If you still wanting to have non halal…….please call it by other name. Quite surprisingly nobody in Marsiling advise or able to see the different.”

“The current state of disregard for minorities in Singapore,” observed another.

“Just call it ‘Marsiling Pasar Malam’ not ‘Bazaar Ramadan’ Please identify the stall and remove plus ban the stall if you still wants to call ‘Bazaar Ramadan’,” opined yet another.

SINGAPORE — The Workers’ Party member of parliament for Aljunied GRC Faisal Manap and a group of well-wishers recently spread joy in the Holy month of Ramadan as they distributed porridge to the residents, as well as packages of household items. Another group took the residents to shop for groceries at a supermarket within the Kaki Bukit division.

MP Faisal and his team of volunteers in Kaki Bukit distributed free porridge during the fasting month, which started on March 26. About 200 people who turned up received two packets of porridge personally from the Workers’ Party member of parliament.

WP shared that they purchased about six tubs of piping hot beef and mutton ‘bubur’ from the legendary Hassan Rabit caterers, which were then packed by their volunteers along with some resident makciks. For those who missed it, MP Faisal and his team will be distributing the porridge again on April 2 at 4.30pm, at the side of Blk 511 hawker centre.

Posting on WP’s Aljunied GRC Facebook page, the party said that three gentlemen and their families prepared a package of daily necessities weighing almost 20kg as well as supermarket vouchers to help lighten the burden for needy families. This kind gesture from the donors benefited 21 households in Kaki Bukit on March 12.

“The kind sharing by VWOs, informal groups, and individuals go a long way to brightening up the lives of the less fortunate and is especially meaningful with Ramadan approaching. We thank one and all for their gracious generosity,” shared the Workers’ Party.

Three days later on March 15, several families in Kaki Bukit were blessed with a pre-Ramadan shopping trip sponsored by two benevolent young Chinese gentlemen. WP shared that MP Faisal was touched by these big hearted guys who were the first non-Muslim group to do a pre-Ramadan outreach at Kaki Bukit.

“And in a novel way to let them purchase what they really need. No flag, no logo, no badge – just a group of friends united by empathy, who go round SG including KB to bless others,” added WP.

Muslims in Singapore observed the start of fasting month on March 23, with Hari Raya Aidilfitri expected to fall on April 22. But there will be an official announcement on the exact date of Hari Raya by Singapore’s Mufti Dr Nazirudin Mohd Nasir towards the end of Ramadan.

Red Dot United meet many Burmese folks during outreach at Clementi

SINGAPORE — Members from the opposition political party the Red Dot United (RDU) recently reached out to residents in the Clementi Avenue 2 area, which comes under the Jurong GRC. During their walk around the neighbourhood, they were aware of a strong Burmese population in the area and wondered whether the culture will one day be part of our Singapore identity.

RDU posted on their Facebook page that there is a Burmese stall in one of the coffeeshops and they saw a Burmese minimart, as well as several units rented to Burmese individuals. 

“No wonder, one blogger calls it Little Yangon. The blogger said that, ‘such ethnic style stores wouldn’t be able to survive in the heartland without a self-sustaining population.’ We also found out that there was a Burmese Buddhist Monastery in Clementi Ave 2 as well. Since there is a growing community of Burmese living in Clementi, it will be interesting to see if their culture will “Singaporeanise” and become a part of the fabric of Singapore,” said RDU on their social media.

RDU also shared that during their house visits, they received ‘strong support’ from Singaporeans who lived in the two blocks of flats that they were at.

“One 28-year-old young Singaporean man who was renting one of the units, shared how he felt that Singapore was “not as democratic as it makes itself seem” and how PAP puts across its arguments as “we tell, you listen”. He also shared how the age limit to buy HDB flats for singles (set at age 35) was disadvantageous to people like him,” added the party who contested in Jurong GRC during the 2020 Singapore General Election.

Over at Block 328, residents on the fourth floor, which is the highest level of the block, shared with RDU about how repair works that were done on the roof had allegedly caused damage to the internal structures of their units.

“It was evident for us to see that their walls had grown mouldy from water seeping from their ceilings, and their ceilings had cracks. Their engagement with their MP Tan Wu Meng to solve the issue was fruitless as well. They were told to pay for the damages from the roof works to their units from their own pockets as internal damages are “not covered” by the town council,” explained RDU.

RDU said that the residents felt that this was ‘unfair as the cracks, water seepage and moulds only appeared after the roof works were done.’ In the same Facebook post, the party also promised the residents that they will escalate the matter to the Housing & Development Board as well as to the Jurong-Clementi Town Council.

In her anonymous post to a Facebook group for domestic helpers, the employer wrote: “Hi, my family is planning to go on a holiday overseas. I’m thinking if it’s a good idea to give my helper an extra rest day (paid) during this period since there won’t be much to do when we are away”.

Jamus Lim Advocates for More Muslim Food Options in Sengkang Coffee Shops

SINGAPORE: Workers’ Party MP Jamus Lim recently tackled an issue involving the availability of halal food in his ward, saying that he has received feedback that there are not enough Muslim food options in Anchorvale.

Upon investigating the matter, the Assoc Prof wrote in a Mar 28 (Tuesday) Facebook post that “As it turns out, at the time of our ground survey, not all coffeeshops had a Muslim food option. This led me to wonder whether there was any stipulation that such options be continuously provided for, after the initial bidding process.”

He raised the issue in Parliament on March 20, asking the Minister for National Development whether HDB coffeeshop operators are required to replace their sole halal food stalls with another halal vendor when the original vendor’s operations ceases; and if this is the case, what the time frame is for the coffeeshop operator to seek a replacement; and if not, why not.

National Development Minister Desmond Lee confirmed that the operators of HDB coffeeshops are indeed required to replace sole halal food stalls with another halal vendor if the original one leaves due to business failure.

But Assoc Prof Lim wrote in his post that “no time frame is provided, and the sanction seems to be that the anchor operator’s tenancy may not be renewed, and there does not appear to be any financial repercussions for failing to do so expeditiously.”

The Sengkang GRC MP noted that this seems unfair, given that eating is a necessity and added that “with the lower density of coffeeshops already in non-mature estates, this reduces their dining options even further.”

He ended his post by writing that the WP will continue to pursue the matter, adding that he hopes that “a more concerted regulatory effort can be applied to ensuring that our Muslim residents are well-served in #SengkangGRC.”

This is the second time this month that Assoc Prof Lim tackled an issue related to food in his social media posts.

On Mar 14, he wrote about the high prices of coffee shop food in Sengkang in comparison to other places.

“A bunch of volunteers and I gathered data on prices, and we’ve managed to confirm that equivalent meals cost between $0.20 to $1 higher in Sengkang (and, on average, around $0.50 more), versus other mature estates like Ang Mo Kio (where we got the most data from),” he wrote.

National swimmer Glen Lim rewrites national 800m freestyle record at SNAG Swimming Championships 2023

SINGAPORE — SEA Games medallist and freestyle specialist Glen Lim broke his own men’s national open 800-metre freestyle record at the 53rd Singapore National Age Group Swimming Championships held from March 14 to 19 at the OCBC Aquatic Centre, Singapore Sports Hub. It is another feather in the cap of the talented swimmer chosen by the Singapore Swimming Association for the forthcoming Cambodia SEA Games.

Lim, who turned 21 on March 28, clocked a time of 8 minutes 6.98 seconds to better his 2019 effort of 8 minutes 9.61 seconds. It was Lim’s first national record in three years. He also holds the national record for the men’s 400m and 1,500m freestyle.

“I’m pretty happy about my swim, as it has been a long time since I’ve hit a national record. I did not expect to hit that time, but it is surely a welcome sight. It’s also a nice advance birthday present,” said Lim, who broke the record on March 18.

His record-breaking performance in the pool comes ahead of the Cambodia SEA Games in May where he hopes to improve on his two-bronze medal haul of the 400m freestyle and 4x200m freestyle relay at the 2021 Hanoi SEA Games.

In 2021, he teamed up with Jonathan Tan, Quah Zhen Wen and Olympian Joseph Schooling in the 4x200m freestyle relay. They clocked a time of 7:21.49, finishing behind Malaysia and hosts Vietnam who set a new Games record. In the 400m freestyle, Lim came in third with a timing of 3:56.68, while Olympian and Vietnamese 2022 Athlete of the Year Nguyen Huy Hoang took top spot with a new Games record clocking in a time of 3:48.06.

“After SNAG we (the national team) are going to have a small training camp to help us get back into shape, so I think we are pretty prepared going into SEA Games. I hope to at least get a podium finish for all my events. I also hope to better my two bronzes,” said Lim.

The Singapore Swimming Association named a total of 22 swimmers on March 1, but one name is notably missing from the list, Singapore’s only Olympic gold medallist Joseph Schooling. He won the Republic’s first Olympic gold medal at the 2016 Olympic in Rio, where he set a new Olympic record of 50.39s in the men’s 100m butterfly event. 

In a media statement, the 27-year-old said that he decided to pull out of the upcoming SEA Games after careful consideration with his team as he feels that he is unable to perform at a level that he holds himself to.

“This was not an easy decision, but I am currently not at the level at which I hold myself to perform. Ultimately, my country comes first before individual accolades. I have decided to give my spot to team mates who have been getting themselves ready and considered for selection while I cheer from home and focus on my Navy duties,” said Schooling, who will not be featured in a SEA Games since he made his debut in 2011 in Indonesia.

In the 2021 SEA Games, Singapore came out top in the swimming competition with a total medal haul of 21 golds, 11 silvers, and 12 bronze medals. The swimmers will be led by former national swimmer Gary Tan at the Cambodia SEA Games.

Pritam Singh Enjoys Productive House Visits at Compassvale, Continues Community Engagement

SINGAPORE: Workers’ Party chief and Leader of the Opposition Pritam Singh wrote in a Tuesday (Mar 29) Facebook post that he “hit the jackpot” because there was a good number of residents at home when he went on house visits that day at Compassvale, which had been the ward assigned to former WP MP Raeesah Khan.

“Back to Sengkang GRC this evening for housevisits in the Compassvale ward of the constituency. Hit the jackpot today with a good number of residents at home…. Sometimes, you just know you are going to have a good day of housevisits,” Mr Singh wrote.

Ms Khan resigned from the WP, therefore stepping down as MP, in late 2021 after it was discovered that she had lied more than once in Parliament concerning a case of alleged sexual assault.

In the wake of the ensuing scandal and her resignation, the rest of the WP team at Sengkang—Ms He Ting Ru, Mr Louis Chua, and Assoc Prof Jamus Lim, divided her duties in Compassvale amongst themselves.

However, the other WP leaders have also carried out visits at Compassvale, including Mr Singh, party chair Sylvia Lim and vice chair Muhamad Faisal Abdul Manap.

On May 24, 2022, the WP wrote on the Sengkang GRC Facebook page that it believes “in the importance of sharing the burden of our political commitments collectively. This was evident tonight, as our MPs gathered together in #SengkangGRC to perform the first of what will be an ongoing effort to visit the households of #Compassvale.”

Mr Singh has evidently carried this out, based on his latest post.

He wrote that he had visited Block 235, which he said “is home to quite a few residents who are the original first owners, having stayed there for more than 20 years (fun fact: nationally, as of Dec 2022, about 379,700 flats purchased from HDB have not been resold by their first owner).”

The WP secretary general also noted that Block 235 “is also home to people from many different cultures too. Larry, a naturalised Singaporean but originally from Vietnam and his wife Kaylin, a PR from Vietnam, have been in Singapore for many years. Both work for Google and have two lovely children.

Likewise for Mr Ali and Mdm Sharifah who were very kind with their time (their adult children were a delight to converse with as well!). Grateful to meet Aunty M, 92 years young requested for a picture in her beautifully decorated house!”

Mr Singh ended his post by thanking the Compassvale residents for their “time and friendship,” adding that he will share their feedback with the Sengkang Town Council team.
