What A Slut Taught me about Sexual Misconduct Editing in progress........... Emotional Poverty When a person is suffering a emotional poverty, the person seek for fulfilment, and poverty does give rise to crime. A person suffering from emotional poverty commit emotional crimes such as stealing passion from others, manoeuver towards exchange of intangible property using tangible methods, regardless of conscience and responsibility. Emotional Piracy There has been much talk about curbing Intellectual Piracy. It is high time to do a check on people's perception about Emotional Piracy.Emotional Piracy is a Thrill for the Discontented, a Game for the Bored, a Trauma for the Victim. Emotions can be pirated by means of canvassing & besieging. The speaking mouth of human is the most sinful organ that the human body has. The most poisonous invention by man is nothing other than words. Emotional Littering Stealing passion from others deliberately with sexual offers is a form of Emotional Littering on the victim. To emotionally litter on other's intangible property, whether clandestinely or openly, is a despisable act. If you are a convict of such act, do not forget to feel shameful on behalf of your parents. Liberality & Harm Liberality reflects the multi-facets progress of the human-kind & thus society advancement. There is no harm in adapting to liberalized attitude, but not at the cost of losing your conscience. And, not at the cost of harming others.Majority of the harm done in this world is due to the people who want to feel important. To feel that, some people did things that have lead to harm to others.Every harmful thing looks harmless in the beginning.自由过了头，良知就不见了?谁没痛过？ 并非挨不了痛，只不过不愿被盗贼得逞。 Quote to Share Plucked this interesting quotation to share with my readers:The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie -- deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic. Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought...........by John F. Kennedy (1917 - 1963) Hypothesis Interview of Parents with Child who Indulge in Casual Sex Hypothetically, if there is an interview with the parents whose children are indulging in casual sex, especially those who would often bring home their multiple partners. Hypothetically, here could be some likely questions to ask:(1) How do you feel when your child uses your property (the house) to operate like a free-of-charge brothel?(2) Did you ever consider how your neighbours would feel living near to a place where people would see it as "a place where easy sex takes place"?(3) Do you trust that your child will be able to protect himself/herself from contracting some nasty STD or worst, HIV? Stupidity Stupidity is something that could get you into horrible messes, and it will not get you out, only LOVE does.Stupidity breaks down self-defense and allow harm to penetrate. I have learnt this lesson the hard way, fortunately there is love to pull me up. Self Confession Post I am ranting to myself over the disgusting thing I did in the past.Some women like to pretend, so I played along. Pretend to woo them, then the test will prove who they are, after 2 dates, she hinted to make the 3rd date a memorable one, a special night out, thus I tested her idea of modesty by suggesting to spend a night in a budget hotel, she not only said "yes" to this suggestion but also said that she look forward to it. Self Confession Part 2 - She thinks she's Hot but She's Not Readers of this blog will remember that recently, I wrote a very personal piece on something that I did. Something that I would never be able to forget, not because it's a good thing but rather because of the evil, disgusting nature of it. It's only natural since for average human beings, generally will remember 2 types of events. 1 of the types is of course the good events, the 2nd type shall be of bad events. For this rotten thing that I did, it belongs totally to the latter, the bad events.This Part 2 is a follow up from Part 1. For those who have already read Part 1, I doubt there's a need to repeat my thoughts but I will do so anyway.What happened was bad, evil & nasty. It was like having a piece of free Cake that someone has offered to you, without thinking, I just eat it, not knowing that the particular piece of Cake was infested with yucky worms & maggots. It goes without saying, I had a very sickening after-taste from this casual dalliance, it was sleazy. I regretted it and I hate myself for it. I wonder how I could be blinded so badly to have failed to see how negative this person is in department of attractiveness. A reader posted a comment in the part 1 of my post of this topic, that reader said that I have used my "little head" to think, and yes, that reader is right. So true as the "little head" do not have any eye, it was not able to see that the female blogger, who is a vamp with a camel lookalike appearance, she has protruding row of teeth which make her jaw to poke outward. Her vampish eyes was just the asian's average. Her mere average overall profile succeeded to pass through filtration of man's little head with her eloquence. I failed to see a face that I actually loathe. All I could see was a pair of splayed legs on her bed which she have jolly well used with her multiple partners. In the same thought, I wonder if during this period, how many more partners have she bought home already.Her row of over generous broad front teeth reminds me of a camel who was hungry, her protruding jaw stretches her smile that looks silly. Without the plain convenience and accessibility, you wouldn't imagine how little temptation was there from a vamp of such quality. I took the convenience cheaply, but I paid a expensive price for the ill effect, a repulsive memory that stains my life forever. There wasn't any bodily attraction at all, my eyes are blind with my ears full, fully loaded by her words of encouragement. That was part of her strategy to make a man to become comfortable with her, so that when dirty things happened, it wouldn't appear to be too ugly, she makes me feels appreciated and admired, this kind of things make a man want to go nearer. And then, that's it, her trap.As a woman, she is not fairly endowed. All you will get to touch is a full set of human bones. Even for areas that you would expect to feel some softness, it is bare. If you are a chicken rice hawker, you will not be able to make any sale out of breast meat. When you look closely, she looks older than her chronological age, if not for the easy assess for casual sex, it is similar to using a public toilet. You wouldn't have imagined having sex with someone who could look like your aunt. You know, no one would regret using a public toilet to relieve yourself, even when the toilet is stingy and free of charge. For my case of this toilet visit, I am extremely disappointed with myself that I visit the stingy toilet a second time. Its silly of me and malfunction of my taste buds during those time, its cheap of me to have used the convenience of a public toilet again.Looking at her blog, you will read all about human rights, say no to rape, AWARE, fighting for woman rights, questioning unfair treatment to woman, etc, etc. It is so fallacious. How could someone who semantically preach to help woman who suffered from betrayals tried to rob from another woman's happiness? If you read Part 1, you will realise that what has happened was a plot. It is a lonely self-doubting vamp who is trying to proof her attractiveness, to her, if she managed to make a attached man to sleep with her, she is more attractive, taking a ride from other people to boost her self-confidence. Her vamp 's strategy is packaged by her experience toastmaster's eloquence, her wide scope of topics to lead you in, then she will discuss with you on sexual issues, gender issues, social issues. On the part of hardware, she provides the room, the bed, the lights, the DVD (boring silly show so that you will not focus on the show), the condoms, yes, if you want to sleep with her, you don't need to bring your own rubber, she has tons of it. All the mix of soft skills + hardware to set up for intimacy to occur. I was a fool and a gluttonous idiot to have accepted a vamp's offers.How can a person whose fighting for woman's rights, plan for a event that will cause extreme saddness to another woman? How can a person whose volunteering for AWARE cause extreme unhappiness to another woman?I just have this message for this vamp. Cut the Act. If you want sex, there's many lonely single men out there for you. Do not protray a image of fighting for woman's rights with a fake hand when in reality, using your filthy hands to offer to attached men into strays, causing innocent women to suffer.Do not think that you are hot just because you have managed to get a boyfriend to cheat on her girlfriend. Whatever that a man could have went nearer to you was not a result of romantic feelings. It was on basis of human's gluttony and immoral behaviour. Through your well constructed pieces and lines of words eloquently delivered, it might appear that there is something more, which usually lures the man to want to find out more, curiosity. The only real something that could have existed is "nothing", there was nothing. There was only a creepy room with a dirty bed (in fact it was only a mattress on the floor), DVD to induce casual intimacy, easy accessibility and plain convenience. Man uses the public toilet without a thought, went in, relieve and out. Do not think that you are hot because you are not. No one will give you a second glance if they walk pass you in the street. Just because you post private revealing photos or post slutty youtube videos doesn't make you hot. It just confirmed that you are a woman without grace & modesty, which is even more distasteful.Good luck to you as you continue to lures lonely men. I doubt you will need the luck, most people don't mind freebies. Well wishes to the men who might have visited your privacy, they have just experienced their worst casual sex, ONS or fling. This is Just a Rant: On Traffic, On Human, On Women's Modesty Well, once again, I would like to make known that due to work and school commitments, I will be posting very very little.Anyway today's post is just a rant and it's just a very short one.1. Is it True that most Cars on the road actually have Malfunction Signalling Mechanism?Well, I personally feel that it's at least 75% true. Now why do I say so? Because I'm a Rider and daily, I have to be on alert to watch out for Cars that do Signal and for Cars that DO NOT SIGNAL. It's almost as if the Driver expects me to watch for his turning of the Driver's Wheel as the Signal that his turning.Sometimes it's a 2 Laner and the Car is trying to change lane to right to make a U Turn. But instead of Signalling, the Car would drive very Slowly and after I pass, change Lane to the Right WITHOUT SIGNALLING. If the Driver would signal in the first place, I would change lane to the Left and let him have the Right Lane.I agree that we do have well constructed roads in Singapore but it's a SHAME but I feel we will be ranked high up for UN/IN/NO Courtesy on the Roads.Of course, not just Cars do this, Bikes do too but in my opinion lesser. Other road users may think so but everyone has their own opinions.2. Does some Pedestrians feel that it's OK to STROLL on the ROAD when Vehicles give way?Once again, I think the above is true. Or maybe it's just the place that I work at. Or the Area that I go to. Or maybe it's just another Singapore Problem but I seriously do not think so. This is very much a Individual issue. I mean, whenever I cross the road, I will move fast and sometimes, I almost drag my partner along. =DSo why do some Pedestrians take their own sweet time and stroll without a care in the world?3. Why do some Men take Advantage of Women on Public Transports?Firstly, let's admit it. This is happening in Singapore but Women's Group ain't doing shit about it. This is happening, in fact, highly possible a Daily Incidents. But Women's Group ain't doing shit. So much for being a Women's Group. As for the Police, I believe, in the beginning, ladies do report it but soon after due to the Inability of the SPF to achieve anything in such cases where the Offender has already ran off, the Ladies have stopped reporting it.So let's look at the issues from different angles.Firstly, why do the Men do it? For fun? For fulfillment? I despise these people. I look down on them, not that it matters to them since they have already stooped so low to commit such a shameful act. Another reason I believe is that they may be the type that would never get welcome from the Opposite Gender and thus require such fulfillment.Secondly, why is it that these happenings ain't on the News? Why is it that it seems that this Country has a Low rate of such happenings? Well maybe, the rate is indeed small. Maybe for a Population of 1.5 Million Women, maybe on a daily basis, there would only be, hmm, 1,000? 10,000 cases? ALL OF IT THAT GOES UNREPORTED. I do not believe any Women would actually report it if someone touches them on a Crowded MRT seemingly accidentally. So even if it's not an Accident, likely most would brush it off.And so the Offender gets to do it again!!! And Again, and again, and again and again and again ... Multiply infinity times.Let's not start on why is the MRT so freaking Crowded these days to the extent that any Men can touch any Women and it is likely brush off as Accident.Let's not start on why MRT is able to Catch people Eating Sweets but not doing anything about this issue.So Women, it's time to stand up for yourself. Nobody would help you. This is Singapore. Well, there would be a few willing Men to assist but more often than not, Singaporeans would just look and stare and whip out their Camera Phones.So Women, stand up for yourself. Do you want this behaviour to become a Tradition?Do you want your future Daughters to be subjected to such Molest?Do you want to be personally subjected to such Molest? Stand up for yourself.Make sure the Next Offender knows that his in the Wrong.Be Alert!! Thwart the Molester before he succeed.Look him in the Eye and make him realise that you know.Let him know that you are not Weak.Let him know that you will scream and get people to catch him.Ask him Loudly what is he trying to do.Order him not to try anything funny.Be firm. Be strong.Women, if you do not help yourself, no one will.PS: For women who give away herself freely, please do not bother with this. This is for Women who hold on to their Modesty Fiercely.PS2: Especially those who indulged in casual sex or have posted photos of their own nude body online for people to see, then the advices here are not relevant to them. Self Confession Part 1 : Blogosphere is an Open Space; but there is Private Room within Today, I will like to share a personal experience. It's a bad disgusting experience. I can only term it as the one of the Darkest Period in my life. For readers of my blog and for the other bloggers, I am sharing this so that bloggers can be more careful when you continue to roam in this blogosphere occupied by people from all walks of life.On my journey of blogging, I learned quite a number of things and have met a number of new people too. Among some of the good people I get to know, there is one female blogger whom I wish I have never met. Through some common topics of interest, this female blogger came upon to comment on my blog when I have just started my blog. I started to blog in Oct 08, she started to send comments to me on my blog and through personal email, she started to approach me through my blog in Nov 08. It was friendship between me & her as I am already attached with a very closed girlfriend of 5 years. This female blogger, she wooed me, at that time I didn't know that it was her strategy to expand her bedroom playmates collection through the cyberspace. Do not be surprised my readers, there is female-Casanova around. Most of us would only relate Casanova to a male, but let me tell you this, there are Casanova of the woman kind, it is just that woman are capable to conceal her lust and flirt without showing any sign of such. A female Casanova roam around to fish her catch with strategies, subtly. I met this female blogger who is a Casanova, my nightmare starts.It is easy to start a conversation as there are common topics and we are both bloggers, we like to blog about social issues, current affairs and many things relating to Singaporean. Then, conversations online progressed into personal exchange of MSN & emails, then our chat gets deeper with her lures and suggests. Finally we meet up in person. Not long after, I went to bed with her. You know, you take no more than finger counts of meet-ups and you could be sleeping with her already. The venue is her place, and she did make things to flow easily, she would first bring you into the house to have some drinks, then of course, there must be DVD to watch so that two person could sit near to each other for at least 2 hours, for some physical touch to take place conveniently and naturally. The room would also darkened to put you at ease, this is also why her suggestion to watch a DVD in her bedroom. Need no more wordy description, as the DVD played at about half time, sex is going to happen, then you know, she got plenty of condoms in her secret compartment under the table.Seriously speaking, her usage of the dvd is really a old school method, because it helps to make the disgusting act less shameful as I am betraying my beloved girlfriend. The use of the dvd help to allow us to pretend that it was a natural process and because of this false pretence, it was easier for the guy to fall and in no way did the girl initiate. But it is in fact a dirty, casual sex. A betrayal sex bought on by her clever planning.So with all the tricks in place, everything combine just makes it easy for the dirty casual sex to happen. The watching of the dvd in a dim private bedroom on a bed. The sex did not happen because there was a attraction. It did not happen because there was love. It happened because it was easy. So with all the facilities arranged by her to allow casual sex to happen, it happened. A dirty, casual sex.Throughout the few meet ups, she never fail to hide the fact that she is a loose woman, yet she is all ready with condoms, and DVD, and bed, and the opportunity, all elements to support casual sex to happen, is well equipped, supplied by her. Blogosphere is an Open Space; but there are Private Rooms in it Today, I will like to share a personal experience. It's a bad disgusting experience. I can only term it as the one of the Darkest Period in my life.

Need no more wordy description, as the DVD played at about >half time, sex is going to happen, then you know, she got plenty of condoms in her drawer. Throughout the few meetups, she never fail to gesture herself as a loose woman, yet she is all ready with condoms in her drawer, and the DVD, and the bed, and the opportunity, all elements to support casual sex to happen, is well equipped, supplied by her. But it turns crooked unknowingly, to the extent that me & her went to bed, but here you hear me, she provided the facilities for sex to happen. Of course, I am not saying that I have no part in it, it always take two hands to clap. But to me, it was akin to having a piece of Cake, free-of-charge and I just eat it, not knowing that the particular piece of Cake was infested with disgusting worms & maggots.Because of her constant praises to me and encouragement given to me about my blogging, I was misled to believe that she love me as a person and maybe we can be together, but now I know it wasn't anything emotional. It was Gluttony.Because of her eloquence, I developed a thought that maybe I should give up my relationship with my girlfriend of 4 over years and pursue a new relationship with this blogger. Not long after my short period of intimacy with this blogger, I realized that she wasn't the person I want to know, she sounded better than who she really is as she is good in her talking, in view of my blindness, I made serious mistake to have betrayed my gf, which is the biggest mistake of my life. My encounter with this blogger was short but very shallow. With her, Sex was easily available. Contraceptives & STD Protection was easily available (because she always supply them, these items are all ready in her bedroom). Basically, there wasn't any need for any man to put in any effort to get all what you want in a casual fling. I participated in this casual fling and accepted all the things that were prepared and offered by her. I had nasty after-taste from this casual fling, it was disgusting. I regretted it and I hate myself for it. I wonder how I could be blinded so badly to have failed to see how far this person is in terms of attractiveness. Her average overall profile succeeded to pass through my blinded eyes, I failed to see a loathe face, all I could see was a pair of splayed legs on her bed which she jolly well-used with multiple partners. Her row of super broad front teeth reminds me of a camel, her protruding jaw stretches smile that looks silly. It was just the plain convenience that she was all ready for sex and I took the convenient. There wasn't any bodily attraction at all, my eyes are blind from my ear-full of words of encouragement from her. As a woman, she is not fairly endowed, you gets to touch a full set of human bones even on areas that is normally expected to be cushioned. She also look older than her chronological age, if not for the plain convenience similar to using a public toilet, you wouldn't have imagined having sex with someone who can look like your aunt. One usually do not regret after making use of a convenient public toilet to relieve oneself, but for this case I am extremely disappointed that I did not choose the toilet.After several weeks of sinful days with her, things with her just died off. Nothing was said. No discussions were had. Things just died like it should. Things that shouldn't have even happened to begin with have naturally turned into sins, into crimes. Through it all, I was attached. I lied. I lied to the one I love. I hurt the one I love. I regret it deeply. Very very deeply. I'm disgusted with my actions. I hate myself for hurting the one I love.Thankfully, she forgave me. She stand by me. Though, of course, this is not something that one can forget. I know that I will never forget, not because it's unforgettable but because I hate myself for it, thus the anger makes me remember. I'm really grateful that the one I love choose to forgive me.Now, as I think back. I realise that things were too easy. It was like almost planned. Location, protection, everything was there. Now, as I think back, I can't help it but think of myself as dirty as it felt like paid sex. I really regret what I did and I know I will never be able to forgive myself.I realise that, one of the compelling factor for me to commit such a sin, was because of a need to prove myself. Throughout my relationship with the One I love, she has always and often assured me that I'm the man. She would comment on how I will catch ladies attention. But due to my own Lack of Self Confidence, I did not believe her words wholely. Often when she comment that someone is trying to catch my attention, I would just brush it off as Over Sensitive. And so when such a situation was place in front of me, I took it. I wanted to prove to myself, whether or not what the One I Love said was real. Turns out it was true to a certain extent. I am indeed able to attract some. In the end, I went too far to test the water and I fell in. Just to boost my own Self Confidence, I hurt the one I love.In this case, the one I love did the right thing in her compliments of me. I was the little one who lacked self confidence and needed to prove it. If i had more confidence to begin with, i would not have embark on this little journey to hell. To be frank, I should already have confidence since I got the love of someone wonderful. But the little me felt that it wasn't enough. The little me got consumed by the Gluttony.For those who may think it's due to greed, it's not. Greed is when you are served something good, nice and although you already have enough, you just want to have more because it's good and nice. Even if full stomach also will try to get 1 more piece. But Gluttony, it's different. Gluttony is not because it's good and nice. Gluttony is just about Excessive. Gluttony is anything also take. That's what hit me. I disgust myself.Now I realise I have been had. If I were to try and give an example, I would relate a Personal Experience I had. I was shopping at NTUC/Cold Storage for vegetables and meat for steak. So the meat would normally be placed on a Plastic Rectanglur plate and wrap with plastic wrap. So you would only be able to see 1 side of the meat. So I was window shopping and thought that this piece was good. Upon opening it up at home, I realise that the Bottom Invisible to me side was actually Rotten. My shock was unexplainable. This is how i feel regarding my Disgusting Unforgiveable Sin/Crime. Initally, I thought I found someone good and nice who shares my interest. But later on, I realise that it's a front and underneath it all, it's not real.Other examples would be a Fruit that's rotten on the inside. Or chocolate bar with worms inside. A meal that looks ok but turns out that the chef accidently put salt instead of sugar. All these examples can describe what I think of her now and worse.To add on even more, I would like to share this. In the dating game, often, the thought is that the guy would be the one making the first move. But let's not forget that women are generally smarter than men. Women can manipulate people way better than men can. So even though the guy may be the one who made the first move, but is that really true? I am of the firm opinion that in my case, this was what happened. In no way am I shedding my responsibility. I was weak, I fell for the tricks. But I will not forget who is the person who made the first move to trick me. Who was the one who provided all the venue and tools to allow things to happen? Sadly, I fell for the trick.For example, one of the trick would be a common one which can be used in many kinds of situation. Basically, cast a Big Net and see how many fishes got caught. I was very stupid, I was very foolish and I got tangle in the net. I thought that it was something but it is not. I was complimented on things and I believed it. In the end, I realised that it wasn't real. It was just a strategy. Notice + Some thoughts + 13,000 Firstly, I would like to start by announcing that I may or may not stop blogging. I may or may not update often.Those words above is equal to I might as well have not said anything at all. But pun intended for those who may understand. But seriously, I will not be updating as often from now on.So today's post is on employment. Reading this piece of good news is, well, good.13,000 hired by public sector - Asia OneBut sadly, if we look beyond the good front, there's bad news.1) How many of these 13,000 were retrenched during this period?2) How many of these 13,000 are really new jobs?3) How many of these 13,000 are just a make up for jobs lost?So if we look deeper and analyse the situation. A person lose his/her job and pick up a job from this 13,000. Basically, in this downturn, the person would likely restart his career cycle if it's a different type. Even If it is the same type of job, during this period, it is no longer Job Hunting. (where there's plenty of jobs and you are shopping for one) In this period, I think we can call it Job Begging. (Where workers without jobs are plenty and the employers are shopping for workers)Well, of course there will be special cases where one finds a suitable job which enchances his/her resume. But when jobs are scarce and workers plenty, how many special cases would there be?So in a average case, one may lose their previous job and may have to take up a cheaper paid job in this period. This itself would create a whole set of problems already. But the other less obvious problem would be the break in the career path. This would affect one's career and also likely affect one's future.Our community is slowly changing. The landscape is changing. The people who are taking over the jobs in the community are changing. One day, when you order a coffee from the coffee shop, you will realise the way the person speaks is not Singaporean. Actually, there's no need to wait, it's already happening. And also your neighbourhood shops selling all sorts of things, also not Singaporean Speaking. How about the bubble-tea auntie, changed too.If we move on to more urban areas, do we realise that the working climate is changing too?So Singapore has changed. The working population may have increased. But how much of the increase is to Singaporeans?I do not have a better solution and I must admit that what the Gov has did is better than nothing. But that's it, better than nothing. So how can we do better? I mean just look around. Important: Was Mr David Hartanto Widjaja Murdered? For visitors to this blog, you should have realise that one of the topics i'm currently following is actually Mr David Hartanto Widjaja.So today, I just read this.David killed, says lawyer - Jakarta PostJAKARTA: David Hartanto Widjaja, an Indonesian student who died at Singapore's Nanyang Technological University (NTU), was murdered and did not commit suicide as many Singaporean media outlets have reportered, Otto Cornelis Kaligis, the lawyer for David's family, said Thurday."We have been compiling evidence that proves David was definitely murdered. The evidence also contradicts all the testimonies and evidence presented by the witnesses for NTU," Kaligis told The Jakarta Post.Kaligis said the evidence consisted of statements from forensic experts who studied photographs of David's body, testimonies from David's fellow students and other files found in his computer."We will present this evidence at the next trial at the Singapore coroner's court on June 15," Kaligis said.According to Djaja Surya Atmadja, a forensic expert from the University of Indonesia, dozens of photographs of David's body taken on March 2 prove that he was attacked with a knife.The pictures show several defensive wounds on David's body, Djaja said. - JPSeriously, I'm surprise. Maybe Law works in a different way such that the Lawyer can "pretend" to be very sure of what he's saying. But then again it could be that he is very sure. I mean, if I'm not sure of something, I would say maybe or admit that I'm not sure and that it's just a suspect.So now, the Lawyer has said it. Mr David was Murdered. So who am I suppose to believe now. Mr David's Lawyer? NTU? The NTU Professor? Singapore Law? Important: Congratulations to Singapore for being in Top 10!!! Now and then I would read news with humor and more often than not walk away with a wonder of the intention of the article. Today yet another article baffles me leaving me to wonder for myself, what the intention was. The article in question is Five Asian cities most expensive for expats - Asia OneSingapore is 10th most expensive city - Asia OneSo some may ask, what's the big deal?Well, firstly, both Articles are the same. Notice that it's by the same writer too, WOW, does the writer get double pay for 2 articles, same content, different Head Line? So why 2 different Head Line?Secondly, 1 of the Head Line reads "Most Expensive for Expats", So does this mean that only Expats feel the Expensiveness of These Expensive Countries? Maybe the Locals wouldn't feel the Expensiveness. Then again, I won't be able to answer for other Countries but for Singapore, I sure feel the Expensiveness if not much much more than Expats.The other Head Line was pretty normal which just states that Singapore is in the Top 10.Congratulations. Interesting Post to Share Recently, I've been busy. Being just back from a holiday, I should feel refreshed, recharged which I am but after 2 days of rest and being thrown back to work and study drain me way faster than i'm being charged. Sometimes, I do wonder whether it's worth it. Sometimes, I do wonder whether there's any other option for me instead of a Tireding Life.DISCLAIMER: This is not a Suicide Note in Disguise.Anyway, stumbled upon a interesting piece from MalaysiaKini about Singapore.Sad to say, I do agree with parts of the articles but once again, I urge readers to form their own opinions. Let's not forget that there's still Help from the Government regardless of how little it is, it's still a form of Assistance. Whether it is enough or not is another issue all together.But I do wonder why things have turn out like this. When a Middle Income Individual (Me) have to worry day in day out.----------------------------------------------The hidden ugly side of Singapore - MalaysiaKini In between the glamarous buildings and shoppings complexes of this city state, there is huge suffering that the world has never seen. Something that the Singapore government or media will try to hide from the rest of the world. And this is the lives of 80 percent of 'true' Singaporeans who live in the republic's Housing Development Board (low cost) flats. I, like many young youths, went looking for a better future in this Lion City of opportunity, After four years of working experience in Kuala Lumpur. It was my first experience outside Malaysia and I was very happy to be offered a job in Singapore with a basic salary of S$3,500. Then, with huge hopes, I started looking for a master bedroom to rent being single. I finally got a master bedroom in Clementi for S$700 a month but only after being rejected by many other landlords for being Indian. The ensuing eight- month ordeal that I spent in this HDB flat really opened my mind to what Singapore is for those who can't earn. It made me ask if this is the type of development that I ever wanted in my country Malaysia. This is the first time that I felt gifted to be born in Malaysia. Anyway, I lived with a family of three (husband, wife with one daughter) who rented out their master bedroom to me while they slept in the common room. It was a three-room flat (but unlike in Malaysia, a three-room flat has only two bedrooms). I did not believe it was the master bedroom that I was staying in until I went into the other room and saw that there is no attached bathroom there. I was given a bed and a mattress and also two fans. Then I noticed that the couple with their daughter sleeping on the floor with a thin mattress in the other room. Not even a fan in that room. Both husband and wife are born Singaporeans and were employed. It was after one month that I realised that the daughter was not going to school regularly and most of the time there would be a quarrel in the early morning between the father and daughter as there was not enough money to pay for the bus to go to school. There were times when the daughter was very sick and father had no money to take her to see a doctor. It was a real pain in the heart to hear a small girl suffering through the thin walls of this HDB flat. It was unbelievable for me to see this happening in this ultra-modern city. It took me another two months to realise that what was happening in this flat was not an isolated case of urban poverty in Singapore. It was every where in those HDB flats. There was a Chinese neighbour (an elderly man) and his son had no money to get a taxi to send his father to the clinic for daily diabetic wound-dressing. I soon understood that poverty in Singapore transcends racial boundaries. The whole family of my landlord got a shock that I own a car in Malaysia. My landlord would keep pestering me every time I come back to Malaysia to bring my car over so that his whole family could go sightseeing in Singapore. In all my life, I never believed people in a developed country like Singapore would ever consider car ownership a privelege.Three months later, one fine day, I came back home and realised that there was no electricity in the house. This time, my landlord did not have the money to pay for the utility bills. I was back in the Stone Age, using candles. This lasted for days until finally he borrowed money from somewhere and settled the bills. My landlord as a person I have known during that period never come back drunk or looked like a gambler. He had to pay for his mother's medical expenses, that much I know. This was the time in my life when I learned what is was like to live in that poor quality HDB flat, drying clothes in the rooms and listening to what the couple talked about in the next room via the thin walls. It was this time in life that made me to think, 'Is this what I want Malaysia to be? For those who talk great or look up to Singapore's success, have they ever come and lived in Singapore like I how I did? Have you seen a HDB flat and how it looks like? Bring your whole family for a dinner using public transport and then rush to catch the last bus. Is this what a 10% growth rate a year is about that we want boast? Does this growth figures mean anything in the first place? Do we want to open our country to expats so that they can progress at the expense of our own Malaysians? Do we want to 'progress' to a level that even our children can't buy a house in our own land? Last, I ask myself. Do we Malaysians look at GDP growth as the only measure to choose our government or are we much more matured than that? Achievement at whose expense?

In Singapore, indirect causing of death is $500.00 Fine.http://informationreadbyme.blogspot.com/2009/02/500-fine-for-causing-lost-of-life.htmlNot forgetting beating redlight, mauling 1 and killing 1 = $2000.00 fine and 1 day jail.http://informationreadbyme.blogspot.com/2009/04/not-important-on-life-2000-fine-for.htmlAnd of coz, not forgetting the incident that everyone already forgotten. Ferrari killing a Foreign Worker. No Verdict so far to my knowledge.http://singaporeenquirer.sg/?p=783So although I pity the Loss of Life in other Countries, I pity the Loss of Life in our Country even more.So maybe we can considered looking closer to home before commenting about other countries. 1st Post on H1N1 I have not quite bothered about the H1N1 issue ever since information was release that it's not lethal and that the effects would be akin to a common flu. Of course, there would be discomfort and other not nice feelings but well, it's just not something critical enough. I mean, if you put someone with a flu back to work in a Close Environment Air Con room, you can as easy get a Room Full of flu infected personnel.Anyway base on the above, I do feel the measures on going is a little too much.H1N1: Two schools to close for a week - Asia OneI do not think there's a need to paste the text here as the Title is obvious enough the intention.So my question would be, when are we closing down the Airport? Since so far, every case started it's roots from over seas. Shouldn't we cut the External Sources first? Then contain our Country? Then start curing those infected.Relatedletter from a friend (re: H1N1) - Think for Me Singapore On David Hartanto Widjaja: It was absolutely NOT a Suicide? For those who may be following David Hartanto Widjaj's case will realise that the family has not given up. Instead, even now they still feel that Mr David did not commit suicide and that they may be foul play involved. Seriously, I do not have any opinions of it but I do find some of the happenings odd too but I do not have the confidence similar to the family to say that Mr David did not commit suicide. But still, I realise that articles on Mr David's case from Jakarta Post and from Singapore MSM is quite different.David family feels unfairly treated by Singapore court - SG EnquirerThe family is still fighting. And there are still people who believe in the family too."Horrendously graphic pictures of David’s corpse showed he did not commit suicide. The pictures had been analyzed by Indonesian forensic experts Djaja Surya Atmadja and Evi Untoro, and they said any forensic doctor around the world would see from the forensic report that David’s body had defense wounds.“It was absolutely not a suicide.”"So there are experts who can state that it is absolutely not a suicide. Let's note here that the person who said this is a Forensic Expert. I do feel that these type of people cannot anyhow say things like this as if it turns out not to be true, their reputation may be hurt.So they said it, I do wonder what will happen from here on. Important: Molest by Foreigner Recently, I've been busy with work and life thus no post from me. But I still read when I get the chance and interesting articles deserved to be shared.Came across a few post regarding the case of the brave and gutsy Cambodian youth. On how he faced danger and nipped it in the butt, I mean breast. Twice even. And for all that, he got 3 months jail.I do feel our Justice System is wonderful. For Foreigners. But that's wrong too. What if it was a Foreigner Labourer?Foreigners are welcome to molest Singaporeans - Young Pay and PayCambodian youth gets 3 mths - Straits Times--------------------------------------------------------------Foreigners are welcome to molest Singaporeans - Young Pay and PayOnce upon a time, then Chief Justice Yong Pung How - in an appeal that he presided - officially ruled that the starting sentence for all molest cases with no aggravating factors, shall be 9 months jail and 3 strokes of the caneChief Justice Yong further elaborated that by "no aggravating factors", he meant the simple touching of non extra-private areas such as thigh, shoulder, back etc.He made it clear that breasts and genitals are extra-private parts and thus the molest of these areas are to be regarded as aggravating factors which warrants a sentence of GREATER than 9 months jail and GREATER than 3 strokes of the cane.Moreover, when restraint and struggles are involved, these are aggravating factors automatically, even if breasts are not involved, and thus again warrants a sentence of GREATER than 9 months jail and GREATER than 3 strokes of the cane.Chief Justice Yong stated clearly that unless there are some mitigating factors, no sentence should be lowered than this guideline. He also made it explicit that being educationally subnormal is not even a mitigating factor!A ruling by the Chief Justice is binding on lower courts.So, since his ruling, literally hundreds of Singaporean men have been jailed for 9 months and caned 3 times, for the touching of one woman's thigh, with no restraining of the victim. Even mentally-challenged low IQ educationally-subnormal youth are not spared from the caning! Some even have to appeal to the President to override the ruling of the judges!But that's for Singaporeans. For foreigners, another different rule applies and they know about it too.READ MORE--------------------------------------------------------------------------Cambodian youth gets 3 mths - Straits TimesCAMBODIAN CHHUON Ratana was sent here by his father to study management in 2006 but he ended up outraging the modesty of two women last May.The 20-year-old was jailed for three months on Thursday.District Judge Jill Tan said that granting a conditional discharge to the 20-year-old would not be appropriate as Chhuon had been belligerent and had committed the second and more serious offence in spite of being confronted by his first victim.Noting that each woman had received $8,000 in compensation, Judge Tan said a short spell in jail would teach Chhuon not to break the law again.His lawyer Chia Boon Teck had told the court that whatever punishment Chhuon received here, his elders in Cambodia would mete out punishment according to traditional Cambodian practices, which in this case, would include Ratana having to become a monk for six months to a year.As such, it would be inexpedient to jail Chhuon, he said.But Judge Tan felt that a Singapore court should punish Chhuon for his loutish behaviour.He had pleaded guilty last month to squeezing the breasts of two women at the Arena club in Clarke Quay at 3.30am on May 11 last year.On his way to the toilet, he approached his first victim and asked for her name while holding her shoulders. When she struggled, he grabbed her breasts. The victim sought help from her friends at the club who confronted Ratana.He initially denied it before saying: 'I did it. So what?'. He then slipped his hand under the brassiere of a second woman and squeezed her breast.The club bouncers soon appeared but Ratana was not cowed, telling them: 'So what? I am a foreigner.'Mr Chia said Chhuon's father was counting heavily on Ratana to take over the family's business and the father had lost much face following his panic-stricken appeal to the Cambodian authorities for help. Not Important: The Old, The HDB, The Jobless Sometimes I read about situations where I feel sad for the person. The person himself/herself may not think so but I do think so because any of us may 1 day be in that situation."The 48-year-old made the journey from her home in Boon Lay to an office in Middle Road for a job interview - only to be told she was "too old". ""Ms De Souza, who is single, is slightly better off – her S$800 monthly salary helps to cover the monthly S$500 HDB mortgage. "What if I'm old and still wish to continue to work? Regardless of the reason whether it's to while time or because i need the money to survive.What if I have a HDB mortgage of $500 and I only manage to get a pay of $800? Worse, what if I do not have a job?Is my flat going to be taken away without Mercy? Will I be allowed to stay without paying? How about getting a Smaller Flat without additional cost? What will be my options?When we are not in the position, with the view of a Spectator, most will think that these situation are far and apart, Rare cases that "Won't Happen to Me". But let's think again. Age is a factor that is inescapable. How about HDB in Singapore? I think for the average people, it's inescapable too. And finally, getting a Job in Old Age, a Unknown.Does things look as Rosy as before?PS: I do wonder why Ms Souza did not try to sell away the HDB and maybe get a Rental. Maybe there's reasons that did not make it to the print.-----------------------------------------------Older jobseekers cite qualifications, skills as obstacles - CNASINGAPORE: The 48-year-old made the journey from her home in Boon Lay to an office in Middle Road for a job interview - only to be told she was "too old". The job Ms Jennifer De Souza was applying for? A telemarketer. "I was so angry I demanded my bus fare back," she told TODAY. "Age should not be a factor in this line of work. If I'm willing to work, what's the problem?" Mature workers, like Ms De Souza, have found it harder to get employment in the first quarter of the year, according to labour market figures released by the Manpower Ministry on Monday. Nearly six in 10 who were unemployed for more than six months were such workers. Compared with the same period last year, the number of long-term jobless people has doubled from 7,500 to 16,600 this year. And familiar faces have been turning up at meet-the-people-sessions, Members of Parliament have stated. These jobseekers cite a combination of age, skills and education qualifications as obstacles to their re-employment. Those with secondary education or lower are the hardest hit. Ms De Souza, who has O-level qualifications, for example, sent out more than 600 job applications over six months before she finally landed a job as an administrator in April. To help mature workers overcome any physical limitation, labour MP Halimah Yacob suggested employers consider reducing working hours – from eight to six or even to four hours – to allow flexibility. However, even as various options – such as re-training, job matching and highlighting vacancies – have been made available to mature jobseekers, some have been adamant as to the kind of jobs they would do. MP Cynthia Phua said some insist on being hired as security guards even though jobs as cleaners are readily available. At Punggol Central, residents not matched with job offers are given other helping hands: The Sengkang Community Club lent out 14 pushcarts and also entrusted its car park to four elderly residents to manage. The residents take home any profits. Mr Goh Cher Chye, 53, takes home between S$70 and S$300 a month selling toys from a pushcart. Even though he is grateful for the help provided, Mr Goh's wife had to re-enter the workforce to supplement the family's income. Ms De Souza, who is single, is slightly better off – her S$800 monthly salary helps to cover the monthly S$500 HDB mortgage. "It is not great, but it beats sitting around at home," she said.

Important: On TOC's post on David Hartanto Widjaja Day to day, I spend roughly 1 ~ 2 hours reading the news and blogs that I follow using Newsgator. TOC is one of them. Regardless of whatever rumors goes on behind, I have to admit that TOC generates enough articles of which I do not read every single one.Mr David's case which is ongoing is a concern for me, thus when TOC posted it, I read it. Turn out that it was a link to the Jakarta Post with yet another Addition. This Addition, I do not know who it belongs to. Jakarta Post? TOC?Doing my own search, I am unable to find the Phrase anyway at the Jakarta Post article. But there it is at the top of the Post with TOC.So there it is, the phrase "Is the Family still in Denial?".Jakarta Post, if you search for the word Denial within JP, you will only find a Comment with this word. So who put this Phrase there?Yesterday i wrote my post on this article with my thoughts and wonderings of what's real and what's not. Of course, I would never be able to find out but wondering aloud is a habit.So of course, today when I read that Phrase "Is the Family still in Denial?" on the TOC post, I was surprised. Did i missed out something on the JP article? Did I totally misunderstand the JP Article.I sincerely wonder who put the phrase "Is the Family still in Denial?" up there with the words Jakarta Post which gives the impression that JP thinks that.

A deep cut at the neck, splintered legs and defense wounds all over his arms and hands all showed that he did not commit suicide. All these facts were never mentioned in the Singaporean court."It's weird but I recall that most of the time, the wounds were translated as injuries sustain during the struggle. Additionally, i also read that there was a Wrist Cut and finally the bruises that Mr David received from the Fall.But now there is A deep cut at the neck? For defense wounds, this possibility can be explained by the Struggle but a Deep Neck Wound?"Iwan Piliang, a blogger who formed and led the public verification team with other bloggers, said the court process was like a play, where everything had to go according to a script.“It is about nationalism. A citizen died in another country, with strong evidence it was murder, and then he was condemned to be a suicide.”"The above are dangerous words spoken about how our Court Process seemed to be Pre Plan and decided upon base on the Desired Outcome.

Information: The Rabbit Hole Recently, there's news of how the Poorer people are being helped in the form of raising their income. But I found another post which explains how it may not be that rosy after all.So with these thoughts in mind, i came across a post by Guest Blogger Ganga Sudhan on Wayang Party and I realise that the rabbit hole is deeper and deeper the more I know.So once again, for those who feel they are sitting on a Cash Cow (HDB Flat), do think again. It just might being a Tiny Bed that you may fall off from.I would like to take this chance also to bring up some old post I wrote.The "Needy" and "Borderline Coping" GroupThe Wake Up Call: Help yourselfHDB Unit as a Asset?----------------------------------------------------Man-in-the-street Paying Back Temasek Losses?Wayang Party LinkGanga Sudhan LinkThen today, I learnt that house owners now have to top-up any shortfall into their CPF accounts should they sell their flats below valuation. In a nutshell, what this means is that if you had bought your flat in 1999 for say $300,000 using money from your CPF account, you would technically 'owe' $300,000 + 2.5% CPF Ordinary account interest x 10 years. That works out to $375,000 that needs to be returned to your account (assuming you bought your flat WITHOUT taking any loans). You would therefore need to sell your flat for above $375,000 before you can even think about 'earning' a profit from the sale.Consequently, if you sell your flat for anything less than this value, you can't even dream of seeing anything in cash - everything goes into the CPF account. Apparently, when you sell below the valuation (valuers are HDB appointed and IRAS licensed, by the way), you are obligated to top-up the difference between sale price and valuation back into your CPF account as well. This was reportedly 'enforced loosely' - until now.When sale prices are naturally heading southward and people in difficulty are finding themselves forced to sell their flats cheaply to save themselves, it is a mystery to me why the authorities would put such folks in a catch-22 situation - if they keep the flat, they wouldn't be able to service the loans; and they can't sell their flat either because they would be obligated to come up with cash to make up the difference (which they obviously don't have).Any which way I look at this, it seems as though only the CPF/HDB coffers will benefit - if the top-up is made, the actual financial loss of the sale is borne by the house owner (who forks it all out in cash), and if there is a default in the housing loan repayment, HDB can simply repossess the flat and resell it for a (handsome) profit.Read More Information: On the Rise in Average Income Low-wage workers better off – really? - TOCLeong Sze Hian / ColumnistThe Ministry of Manpower has published a 74-page press release detailing significant progress in the welfare of low-wage workers. But a closer scrutiny of the report finds that the picture may not be so rosy. (Read the Straits Times report here.)IS THE Ministry of Manpower (MOM) blowing its own trumpet?While its press release claims that low-wage workers have made significant progress since 2006, they may in fact be presenting a distorted picture.(Photo: A road sweeper keeping Singapore clean. Are these workers better off since 2006? Courtesy of Kirk Siang / Creative Commons)The press release says that “the wages of the 20th percentile full-time employed resident increased from $1,200 a month in 2006 to $1,310 in 2008.”However, after adjusting for inflation, $1,200 in 2006 would be equivalent to $1,304 in 2008.This means that these low-wage workers received a wage increase of just $6 over 2 years, or just 0.25% per year.So, while the headline of the press release proclaims: “Significant progress for low-wage workers since 2006”, are these workers really better off?Read More Has Anything Changed? : On Rising Income I have known that Singapore is a good country.

PoThePanda: The Story Continues with a Twist More on PoThePanda, the case is becoming more interesting day by day.Some personal thoughts base on the story so far.PoThePanda says:Back in 2006"I informed Mr Chia that i had been detained by policemen to assist with investigations previously.Upon not being able to find anything to substantiate their investigations,these policemen had in a fit of anger,handcuffed me,bundled me into a police car and thrown me into IMH.I was later certified to be NOT SUFFERING FROM ANY MENTAL ILLNESS and released."But Authorities says:"Apparently,now he claims that i had admitted myself into IMH on 291106 --- 011206.DPP John Loo claims i was discharged and did not follow up with the treatment prescribed.DPP John Loo claims i was never arrested in 2006."So looking at the situation, it's Po's words against the Authorities' words. How is Po going to prove that he is right if in this particular situation, the Authorities' are also the ones who kept the Records? Is Po able to request for IMH records from 2006?

:D ) DJ Soh informed Mr Chia that he is very unhappy with my blogpost that i had been denied trial,and was going to be sent to IMH.According to Mr Chia,DJ Soh's comments were,"You see Mr Chia!?I haven't signed anything yet and he's already saying i sent him to IMH!"Mr Chia further informed me that the Judge had offered an alternative solution.Based on my limited understanding of the situation,i understood the solution to mean ;1)If i chose to plead guilty and not go to trial,i would be considered sane to enter a plea and allowed to get off with a fine.2)If i chose to plead not guilty and insist on a trial,i would be sent to IMH immediately where i may be certified insane by a "State Doctor".So this is what Singapore Law is all about ...Apparently,under Singapore Law...If you plead guilty,you are considered sane enough to enter a plea.If you plead not guilty,you are considered not sane enough to enter a plea and will be thrown into the IMH Gulag.YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TRIAL.After some careful consideration,i decided to ask Mr Chia to make representations to the Attorney General's Chambers and to see what they say.Mr Chia completed the process and came out of Court.As we were making our way back,Mr Chia claimed that DPP John Loo had handed a piece of paper with scribblings on it,and submitted it to the Judge as "evidence".Apparently,now he claims that i had admitted myself into IMH on 291106 --- 011206.DPP John Loo claims i was discharged and did not follow up with the treatment prescribed.DPP John Loo claims i was never arrested in 2006.All these allegations by DPP John Loo are untrue and can never be substantiated,unless the relevant State Agencies are fabricating documents and destroying "evidence" that incriminates them.My next Court Date is on the 30th June 2009 at Court 6,Subordinate Courts of Singapore,1430 local time.All are welcomed.This is a matter of public interest and safety,it concerns you.your friends and your future family.Any donations to help keep this case going is greatly appreciated.All kind souls please utilise Cash Deposit Machines at POSB / DBS banks and do a direct deposit of funds to POSB Savings Account 147-20796-4.Your largesse will be rewarded by your God,as this is an act of saving lifes. On SAF: Looking @ Female's Chest? Just Checking the Rank I find that it's a Good thing when Organizations try to gather feedback from their Employees on what can be Done better. On what's good, what's not. These feedback often serves to improve the Organization.But a Key Point in the above equatation is that there must be Employee who dares to give the Feedback and that the System of the Organization must not be suffocating such that Employees may fear giving the Feedback and facing a Backlash.So today, reading on how Mindef is gathering feedback, I feel that it's a good thing. But seriously, I do feel that there's a little problem. How seriously do they take the Feedback?Just take for example, the recent uniform changes. All Ranks now are in the Center of your Chest. For both Male and Female.So here's a Question for the Females. Males can feel free to answer too.How would you feel if someone had to Look at your Chest to figure out your Appointment? How would you feel if someone looked at your Chest? So now with the New Uniform, does this mean that the Female Regulars have to accept the fact that the Males will have to look at their Chest just because the Rank is placed there?AmendmentOn a Side Note, how would the Male Regulars feel if the New Uniform has the Rank placed on Dead Center of the Pants?I do have some Regular Friends and from discussion, this particular topic has been a Hot Debate when the Idea of the new uniform first came out. Feedbacks have been give on this Issue but still, the New Uniform survived changes.So now, we will have to see how long the Female Regulars can accept it.PS: Some of the Readers may feel that nothing is wrong with the New Uniform. I would ask the Male, how would they feel if other guys were to look at their GF/Wifes Chest?I would ask the Females, how would they feel if other guys were to look at their Chest?
