“I feel very upset” — Woman who was unwell sat in reserved seat on the MRT but says an “uncle filmed and yelled at her”

SINGAPORE: A woman shared on social media that an “uncle” filmed and yelled at her for sitting in a reserved seat on the MRT.

In her post on the r/askSingapore Reddit forum, she explained that she was feeling extremely unwell that morning due to low blood sugar and severe period cramps.

“I felt super nauseous. I had serious period pain since it’s my first day of period, so I sat on the reserved seat [as] there was no other seat,” she said.

“There was one uncle standing in front of me; he said nothing but he was staring at me. I did not offer him the seat since I was really feeling like I’m going to pass away the next second.”

However, she was shocked when this uncle began filming her and abruptly shouted, ‘Can you read English?’ She tried to explain politely that she was unwell and couldn’t stand at the moment, but he continued recording and threatened to post the video online.

“I have been offering seats to the elderly and those who need it. Of course I understand what a RESERVED seat is for,” she wrote. “I feel very upset to encounter this when I really need the seat.”

“Reserved seats are not just for elderly but also injured, pregnant, or unwell passengers.”

In the comments section, many Singaporean Redditors told her not to stress over the incident and reassured her that she had every right to sit in the reserved seat if she was unwell.

One Redditor said, “Don’t worry about it… some uncles/aunties are just obsessed with the reserved seat. They’ll film but won’t post it. Everyone else knows that if you need it, just sit.”

Another pointed out, “Reserved seats are not just for elderly but also injured, pregnant, or unwell passengers. You did nothing wrong; when I have period cramps, I just sit on a reserved seat too since I’m unwell.”

Others pointed out that the uncle’s actions were inappropriate, noting that he should have been more considerate instead of aggressively confronting her.

One Redditor said, “What did you think you should do? Stand up for him? No. The answer is that you also need the seat and rest. The uncle could have easily asked someone else to give him their seat. But he didn’t.

Uncle is a bully and also deaf because he couldn’t understand when you said you needed to sit and rest.”

In related news, a cancer patient shared on social media that she was kicked by a senior citizen who wanted to sit in a reserved seat. During her treatment, she regularly wore a ‘May I have a seat please?’ yellow card and lanyard while boarding the train.

However, though she wore the card, an elderly woman “rudely asked her to give up her seat” and kicked her leg when she didn’t.

Job seeker shares one company asked him to do a “7-day unpaid work trial before an interview”, asks others online if this is a “normal thing in Singapore”

SINGAPORE: A job seeker shared on social media that one company asked him to do a “7-day unpaid work trial before an interview”.

“I recently came back to Singapore to study and I’m looking for a part-time job,” he wrote on r/askSingapore, a Reddit forum. “I was reached out about a marketing role and I inquired further and they shared that I’d need to work for them for 7 days as a trial and if I pass, I’ll get an interview.”

While the company assured him that he could earn commission during the trial, he found the offer suspicious and ultimately declined. He said, “Ain’t no way I’m working for 7 days for an interview.”

Later, he found out that the supervisor of the company had deleted their account on Telegram.

“I’m still in contact with the person who reached out to me originally, and I’ve just reported them,” he said. “I’m wondering if this is a normal thing in Singapore to do for jobs or is this straight up illegal.”

“Do they think they are signing up for Spotify or something?”

In the discussion thread, Singaporean Redditors warned him that such practices are not common or acceptable in the country. Many of them expressed concern, pointing out that it’s illegal for employers to require unpaid work, especially without a formal agreement or clear job offer.

One Redditor said, “Scam!!!! What kind of freeloader company is that?”

Another commented, “Nope, it’s illegal. The supervisor deleting their Telegram account after you declined to participate in the trial is a major red flag.”

A few others advised the job seeker to report the company to the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) to ensure that others wouldn’t be taken advantage of in the same way.

One Redditor commented, “What nonsense is a 7-day trial? Do they think they are signing up for Spotify or something? Please report to MOM immediately with proof.”

Another stated, “NO, please do not do work for free. You need to report this company to the Ministry of Manpower, Singapore. Never do work for free please. 1000% illegal.”

Job scams in Singapore

In August 2024, AsiaOne reported that scam victims in Singapore lost a staggering $651.8 million in 2023 alone. Although this amount showed a slight decrease from $660.7 million in 2022, the number of reported cases rose significantly, from 31,728 to 46,563.

The three most prevalent scams in 2023 were job scams (9,914 cases), e-commerce scams (9,783 cases), and fake friend call scams (6,859 cases).

To help people avoid falling for these scams, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) issued warnings about some of the latest tricks used by scammers.

They advised people to watch out if they’re suddenly added to WhatsApp or Telegram chat groups that advertise “profitable and easy online jobs” or offer small commissions for completing simple tasks like surveys.

Scammers often use these tactics to lure individuals into sharing personal information or making small investments, which can then escalate into more severe financial losses.

The SPF also warned people about receiving strange messages on Facebook or Instagram. Scammers often try to befriend users on these platforms, building trust before asking for help or “offering a commission to boost products on e-commerce platforms.”

The SPF encourages the public to report anything suspicious by calling the police hotline at 1800-255-0000 or posting online at www.police.gov.sg/iwitness.

Singapore stocks rose on Friday’s open—STI gained 0.4%

SINGAPORE: Singapore stocks rose on Friday’s  (Nov 8) open following a US interest rate cut of a quarter-point. The move helped push global markets up, building on the positive reaction to Donald Trump’s presidential election win earlier this week.

The Straits Times Index (STI) gained 0.4%, or 13.4 points, at 3,686.89 at 9:03 am, as reported by The Business Times.

In the broader market, 91 stocks gained compared to 38 that lost, after 68.6 million securities valued at S$153.5 million were traded.

Genting Singapore led the trading volume, though it saw a decline of 6.6%, or S$0.055, to S$0.785 with 9.6 million shares exchanged. Other active stocks included Mapletree Pan Asia Commercial Trust, which remained flat at S$1.25, and Frasers Logistics and Commercial Trust, which gained 1%, or S$0.01, to S$1.03.

Banking stocks opened mixed. UOB rose 2.7%, or S$0.91, to S$34.21, while DBS increased by 0.2%, or S$0.08, to S$41.78. However, OCBC saw a drop of 0.3%, or S$0.05, to S$15.83.

In the US, Wall Street stocks closed mixed on Thursday following the US presidential election, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite Index reaching new record highs after the Federal Reserve’s interest rate cut, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average ended nearly flat.

The S&P 500 gained 0.7% to 5,973.10, and the Nasdaq Composite Index climbed 1.5% to 19,269.46. The Dow Jones dropped slightly, closing at 43,729.34.

Singapore’s six-month treasury bill yield rises to 3.04% amid uncertainty over US rate cuts next year

Singapore’s six-month treasury bill yield rises to 3.04% amid uncertainty over US rate cuts next year

SINGAPORE: The latest six-month Treasury bill (T-bill) auction in Singapore saw a rise in the cut-off yield to 3.04%, according to figures from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) released on Thursday, Nov 7. This yield was up from the 2.99% recorded in the previous auction on Oct 24, as reported by The Business Times.

Yields rose across the board, coinciding with Donald Trump’s win in the US presidential election on Wednesday.

Jason Kuan, director of investment research and advisory at CIMB, observed that the US 10-year Treasury yields had “climbed quite significantly” following the election. He noted that while the Federal Reserve is likely to lower interest rates by 25 basis points at its next meeting, there is now greater uncertainty around how it will reduce rates next year.

He noted that this comes as markets await Mr Trump’s fiscal policies set to roll out when he takes office in 2025.

Blerina Uruci, chief US economist at T Rowe Price, believes that inflation might take longer to settle around the Fed’s target of 2%, partly due to higher tariffs and a more relaxed fiscal approach anticipated under the Republican administration.

According to Ms Uruci, “(The) Fed would deliver fewer cuts in 2025 and the long end of the treasury curve should respond with higher-term premia (fiscal plus inflation risks more elevated).”

She added that the Fed might adopt a more cautious approach to interest rate policy if tighter financial conditions challenge the full employment mandate.

Demand for Singapore’s six-month T-bills saw a slight drop in the latest auction, with applications totalling S$12.3 billion for S$6.8 billion on offer, resulting in a bid-to-cover ratio of 1.82. This is down from the previous auction, which recorded a bid-to-cover ratio of 1.99 with S$13.5 billion in applications for the same amount on offer.

The median yield for the recent auction edged up to 2.95% from 2.93% in the prior auction, while the average yield dropped from 2.84% to 2.72%. Non-competitive bids, which allow investors to receive T-bills without specifying a yield, amounted to S$1.6 billion and were fully alloted. Around 2% of competitive bids at the cut-off yield were also alloted.

In December 2022, T-bill yields reached a 30-year high of 4.4% and remained elevated during the past two years as the Federal Reserve kept interest rates high to fight inflation in the aftermath of the pandemic.

However, yields began to fall when the Fed started reducing rates in September, beginning with a half a percentage point cut. /TISG

Man seeks help online after friend who borrowed more than S$20k from him cut off all contact

Man seeks help online after friend who borrowed more than S$20k from him cut off all contact

SINGAPORE: A man recently reached out for help on social media after his friend, who had borrowed over S$20,000 from him, cut off all contact.

In a post on Reddit’s ‘Ask Singapore forum, the man shared that he had first lent money to his friend back in 2018 to help him with what were said to be family problems.

Over the years, his friend continued to borrow additional amounts without fully repaying the previous loans, eventually amassing a debt exceeding S$20,000.

Hoping to finally settle the matter, the two friends met just last month to formalize a repayment plan. They drafted and signed an IOU, agreeing on a total amount and setting November 7 as the repayment date.

However, on the agreed day, the man discovered that his friend had blocked him on all communication channels, including WhatsApp, his phone number, and social media.

“I do have his home address, but not sure if it’s real since he gave it to me,” he wrote.

Seeking advice on how to handle this situation and recover his money, the man turned to Reddit to ask if others had faced similar issues and could offer guidance.

He asked, “What can I do with the IOU? How do I proceed from here? Anyone experienced before? Please advise me on how to get back the money.”

“Always lend what you are willing to lose.”

In the comments section, many advised him to avoid lending money if he’s not prepared for the possibility of getting it back. Others offered insights on potential legal options, such as filing a small claims case, to help him recover the money.

One Redditor said, “Rule of thumb: always lend what you are willing to lose. S$20,000 is not a small sum, I know, but be prepared to not see a large portion or even lose everything.

“In the future, when it comes to lending money to friends or even your own family, treat it like it’s a gift to them. Any money returned to you is a bonus, and always lend what you can afford to lose.”

Another commented, “Given the amount, you can take to small claims. You can even try making a police report for fraudulent debtor. I personally had a section mate in BMT investigated and charged for fraudulent debts amounting to less than S$10,000.”

A third shared, “I personally got owed about S$50,000. Police won’t be able to help much. The only way is legal or debt collectors. Since you are aware of his residence, I suggest you go to a debt collector instead. Cheaper and faster.”

How to recover debt owed by a friend

While hiring a debt collector might seem like a good option for recovering debt from a friend, a Singapore law firm, Lions Chambers LLC, warns that there are risks involved.

If the friend refuses to repay the debt and remains uncooperative, some debt collectors may feel pressured to escalate their tactics to compel payment. However, actions such as aggressively banging on the debtor’s door, shouting profanities, and harassing them can quickly cross into illegal behaviour.

Under Singapore law, such intimidation tactics are not only discouraged but can also lead to legal repercussions

For a safer option, consider hiring a lawyer. They can assist by sending a Letter of Demand, which will specify the amount owed and set a deadline for payment.

This letter will serve as a warning to your friend that you’re serious about taking legal action if payment isn’t made. It can also be used as evidence in court that you attempted to settle the matter before resorting to legal action.

For debts of $20,000 or less, your lawyer can assist you in bringing the case to the Small Claims Tribunal. The tribunal can then order your friend to make payments. If they still don’t pay, you may need to take additional legal steps to enforce payment.

For debts exceeding $20,000, the matter becomes a civil claim, and your lawyer would file a writ of summons, requiring your friend to appear in court.

Singtel declines to confirm whether Chinese hacker group was involved in June malware attack

Singtel declines to confirm whether Chinese hacker group was involved in June malware attack

SINGAPORE: Responding to allegations made in a Bloomberg report, Singtel has confirmed the detection and removal of malware from its systems but refrained from acknowledging any ties to Chinese hackers.

The Bloomberg report, citing anonymous sources, claimed that the malware attack on Singtel was linked to a group identified as “Volt Typhoon,” which has been implicated in cyber operations against Western targets.

Bloomberg’s exclusive claimed that the hacking incident, which occurred in June, had been previously undisclosed. It added that investigators from various countries, including the United States, Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand, have expressed concerns that Volt Typhoon has been exploiting compromised IT networks as part of a broader strategy by China to conduct cyber warfare, particularly in the event of military tensions with Western nations.

This report suggests that the attack on Singtel could represent a preliminary effort by Chinese actors to penetrate U.S. telecommunications infrastructure.

In a statement to Channel 8, a Singtel representative acknowledged that Singtel, like other large organizations around the world, has been repeatedly targeted by hackers. They confirmed that the company had successfully identified the malware in June and had taken appropriate measures to neutralize it while notifying the relevant authorities.

Singtel emphasized that no customer data had been compromised during the incident, and operations were not disrupted. However, the company maintained that it could not verify whether the threat actor was the same as the one described in the Bloomberg article, stating, “We do not comment on speculation.”

The spokesperson also highlighted the importance of network resilience in their operations.

“Singtel adopts industry best practices and collaborates with leading security partners to continuously monitor and address the myriad of threats we face daily. We also regularly review and enhance our cybersecurity capabilities to safeguard our critical assets from evolving threats,” the spokesperson added.

Liu Pengyu, a spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in Washington, meanwhile told Reuters, “China firmly opposes and combats cyber attacks and cyber theft in all forms.”

SG crypto firm partner fired after woman said he spiked her drink during meeting

SINGAPORE: A partner at a leading crypto venture capital company, DWF Labs, has been dismissed from the company in the wake of allegations online from a woman who claimed he spiked her drink during a meeting.

The woman, who goes by the name Hana小屁娜 on X, started tweeting about her encounter with the man on Oct 29, posting a photo from their meeting in a lengthy thread.

“I never thought I’d personally experience something like this,” Hana wrote, adding that the incident occurred on Oct 24 at a bar in Hong Kong.

She has since lodged a police report and collected videos of the alleged drink-spiking.

A separate video of a man taking something from his pocket and surreptitiously emptying it into a drink was also posted, as well as widely viewed and shared, on X on Oct 30.

Hana wrote that the man had approached her with a job opportunity in the past, and she met him as she is new in the crypto industry and “eager to learn”.

She added that she took a few sips of her drink after getting back from the bathroom. Then, when the man she was meeting stepped outside, a waitress came over to tell her the drink had been spiked.

“I was shocked and couldn’t believe someone like him could do something so horrible, and all I wanted to do was leave the situation but as I tried to step outside I felt extremely dizzy,” she wrote.

The man allegedly told her to stay close to him and that he could help her “get to places.” He also told her about his hotel suite.

Hana described the encounter as a “well-executed set-up” and surmised that she was not his first victim. She then filed a police report and collected the CCTV recording from the restaurant where they met.

Watching the footage left her “even more disgusted”, but she considered herself lucky that the waitress had intervened.

“I want to expose this creep so that no other girls will fall victim to him,” she said, adding: “Even in seemingly professional settings, women are not always safe. Always keep an eye on your drink and trust your instinct, no matter who you are with.”

While Hana did not name the man, she said he was a partner at DWF Labs. He was also identified as a partner at Open Eden, another tech company.

Both DWF Labs and OpenEden have said he has been terminated from the companies.

YouTuber claims meal at Uncle Roger’s was “worst dining experience in Malaysia”

YouTuber claims meal at Uncle Roger’s was “worst dining experience in Malaysia”

KUALA LUMPUR: A Japanese YouTuber recently visited comedian Nigel Ng’s restaurant called Fuiyoh! It’s Uncle Roger but ended up with an experience that she says she’ll never repeat.

Lukian Wang, the woman behind the CookingBoBo YouTube channel,  recently uploaded a video of her visit to the diner on Instagram and YouTube, saying that she’s a fan of Mr Ng and that she likes fried rice, a dish that the comic talks about a lot.

The first thing that struck her was the long queue at the restaurant in spite of her arrival 40 minutes before it was scheduled to open.

She was one of the first ones to get in. But to her surprise, more than half of the items on the menu were already sold out, despite it being early in the day.

She received the first item among her orders—hot lemon tea—around 20 minutes in. Ms Wang found the cup “really cute,” though far from what was advertised.

Still, at that point, perhaps anticipating her meal would be served soon, she just laughed it off but “didn’t realize it was going to get much worse.”

Fifty minutes into her arrival at Fuiyoh! It’s Uncle Roger and she still hadn’t gotten her fried rice. Bored, she decided to go live on social media, and attempted to distract and amuse herself.

After an hour of waiting, her food arrived.

“Tears of joy. I was so hungry,” she said, but added, “So now you know if you see a queue outside Uncle Roger’s restaurant, it’s not because it’s popular, it’s because of the slow service.”

Ouch.

And when the people at the next table asked Ms Wang if the friend rice is indeed the best in town, she answered that it was probably the best at that specific moment because she was so hungry.

She added later that it was the best fried rice in town after having fasted for 15 hours.

“Needless to say, I won’t recommend this to anyone who’s not a content creator invited by Uncle Roger himself,” she said, citing the good service these influencers received.

“But if you’re going in as a nobody small potato, they won’t give a s**t,” she said flatly at the end.

According to Goody Malaysia, which recently shared Ms Wang video on TikTok in full, Mr Ng has since apologised for the long wait at the restaurant and promised that the service would improve.

Ms Wang is not the first person with this specific criticism, however, and ­the eatery has received mixed reviews online since its opening. /TISG

American visiting SG asks if Singaporeans are workaholics

SINGAPORE: A United States citizen who is currently in Singapore on a working visit has asked if everyone in the city-state is a workaholic.

U/Zealousideal_Gur3153 wrote in a post on r/askSingapore on Thursday (Nov 7) that at present, he’s visiting an office that is part of the tech sector.

He observed that many employees stay late at the office consistently, until generally around 7pm, according to coworkers he has talked to.

While some netizens assured him that not everyone in Singapore works this much, others appeared to confirm his observation, with one writing that the “Facetime culture is too big here.”

However, this commenter added that some Singaporean employees compensate by taking extra long lunch and tea breaks.

Some even told the post author that saying at the office till 7 pm is considered the norm or even early.

The standard work hours in Singapore are 9:00 am till 6:00 pm, which means leaving at 7 pm causes a worker to stay an hour longer than that, which is still an hour of unpaid work if there’s no overtime.

The Ministry of Manpower has said that a person who works five days a week or less can only work for nine hours per day. Those who work more than five days per week can only work for eight hours a day.

Shift workers, meanwhile, are only allowed to work for 12 hours per shift.

A commenter on the post characterized Singapore’s work culture as “toxic” with little or no work-life balance. They added that people who buy into the culture of overwork “ruin it for the rest of us and enable exploitation.”

One observed that some Singaporean employees may not necessarily be workaholics but live in “constant fear” of losing their jobs.

However, a commenter wrote that this “overwork is good” mindset is specific to older Singaporeans and that younger workers in the city-state are now prioritizing work-life balance more than their elders.

In 2022, a study found that Singapore is the most overworked country in the Asia Pacific region, with workers clocking in 45 hours per week. This is three hours more than the country ranked number two, China, where employees work 42 hours weekly.

When it came to average annual leave, Singapore ia also among the countries with the fewest days in the region allotted for this, with just seven. Lower still are Thailand and China, which only have an average annual leave of six and five days respectively. /TISG

SG woman with $2.5M in savings seeks another country to start afresh

SINGAPORE: A Singaporean woman in her 30s who’s been able to earn and save a tidy sum is now looking to relocate elsewhere, asking Reddit users if anyone else has done the same.

U/Civil-Eggplant-88 wrote that she has worked hard for over a decade and “feels done” with Singapore. She clarified that she’s not looking for a less expensive place to live so she can retire early, but would like to “experience more of what the world has to offer”.

She added that she’s always wanted to leave Singapore but has yet to decide where to settle.

The post author described herself as a 36-year-old who has accumulated S$2.5 million, but she feels that staying in Singapore “might create more harm than good for me”.

And while she has her own business in Singapore, she’s willing to start again elsewhere.

She also listed the qualities of the next place she’d like to call home: progressive values, which are especially important to her as a member of the LGBTQ community, mild weather, nice compassionate people, and lots of city life and activities.

The post author added that she’d like to have children in the next few years.

While California, Vancouver, London and Tokyo are high on her list, Australia isn’t because she found it a bit boring when she lived there.

Perhaps, there  aren’t very many people who’ve been able to amass the same amount of wealth as she has and, therefore, they may not be able to fully relate to her. Still, a number of commenters in good faith attempted to make good suggestions to her.

When one suggested she could start a branch of her business elsewhere, she answered that she’s “sick” of it at this point and that it’s time for something new, such as going into more investments.

A commenter suggested New Zealand, but the post author, who had stated she was looking for big city life, wrote that she might consider a quieter place such as New Zealand when she’s older.

Another suggested that instead of moving completely, the post author could sell her business and travel widely and pursue other endeavours that would make her happy.

She replied that she’s been doing this for the past year and added, “But despite the attempts, my heart isn’t here, and my soul feels depleted.”

Other commenters, meanwhile, suggested Taiwan, Austria, Budapest, Bali, Germany, the Netherlands, Seattle, and other places that might fit the post author’s requirements. /TISG
