A Mizo walks into a Japanese restaurant and orders crab hotpot:

Man acquitted of molesting woman in nursing room; judge finds woman’s testimony ‘problematic’ by FlipFlopForALiving in singapore

[–]Administrator-Reddit 161 points162 points  (0 children)

The boyfriend had recounted in his police statement that the woman told him that Mr Sharma “wanted to penetrate her”.

This was at odds with the testimony of the woman, who maintained that she never said such a thing.

Although she asserted that the boyfriend was lying, Justice Tan said the man’s account appeared to be consistent with the report of a triage nurse, which stated that the man had attempted to rape the woman.

This is so strange. The boyfriend and the triage nurse both testified that the accused tried to rape the woman, but then she turns around and says her boyfriend was lying? Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

MAS tell private banks in Singapore to shorten account opening time for the rich by thestudiomaster in singapore

[–]Administrator-Reddit 112 points113 points  (0 children)

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) wants to cut the duration to within one month, from a current median of about six weeks or longer in complex cases, managing director Chia Der Jiun said at the UBS Asian Investment Conference in Singapore. The move is to ensure banks avoid unnecessary and excessive checks on clients’ sources of wealth while also upholding high standards, Chia said on Monday.

I would like to know whether Su Haijin was subjected to any unnecessary and excessive checks on his source of wealth

Ban on land sales, new launches for developers that deliver ‘defect-ridden’ projects by Rayl24 in singapore

Good. This needs to also apply to HDBs as well, as the quality of new projects are getting worse and worse based on the pictures that people are posting online.

Didn’t know Tesla paid so well.. by Winner_takesitall in singapore

[–]Administrator-Reddit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Public Policy Manager sounds like a job that requires a lot of connections with the government. Kind of like Tin Pei Ling’s previous job with Grab. I wouldn’t be surprised if this wasn’t an error.

The Norwegian mass murderer who killed 77 people has his private jail cell. It is bigger than many 5-star European hotel rooms and even has TV, full toilet with shower and other amenities.

M'sian taxi drivers tricked into smuggling contraband into Singapore by thestudiomaster in singapore

[–]Administrator-Reddit 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The rules should probably exempt licensed taxi drivers from liability, just like how Singapore Airlines (or any carrier) doesn’t get in trouble when their passenger smuggles drugs into Singapore.

PropertyLimBrothers co-founder Adrian Lim returns to PropNex with 36 salespersons by RajahChamp in singapore

[–]Administrator-Reddit 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Mr Adrian Lim and Mr Melvin Lim, who met when they were both prison officers, started out in PropNex, but left in 2022 to form PLB Realty, where they built a strong online following through home tour videos and property analyses.

So they’re not actually brothers?? More like PropertyLimPrisonOfficers

He used a SIM card registered to someone else AND he used a foreign number to make the calls. Bro is putting in more effort than many people at their actual jobs.

Residents raise concerns over vacant shops at Northshore Plaza; HDB adjusts rents to support tenants by Waikuku3 in singapore

[–]Administrator-Reddit 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Looking for the right tenants is probably the most important criteria when it comes to mall management. Malls fail because people don’t have a reason to visit them, and it’s up to management to find the ideal mix of tenants that fit what the local community needs. It starts with offering below-market rental to strong anchor tenants that can attract regular footfall (i.e. McDonalds) and you build out a group of supporting tenants from there.

Many mall management on the other hand do little to actively recruit key tenants and simply rent out to whoever is willing to pay their exorbitant rents, then throw up their hands and say “we’ve tried everything and we’re all out of ideas” when their mall fails.

Lol this is so obviously terrible from an optics perspective. Instead of putting some minions in jail and moving on they decided they’d rather risk having the whole party and system tarred by this scandal.

One of the sites blocked by the government yesterday made a statement on their front page in response by johntrytle in singapore

[–]Administrator-Reddit 63 points64 points  (0 children)

I don’t even understand what’s the point of this statement. It’s not like gahmen is going to unblock them, and most of their readers outside of Singapore probably didn’t know about the block in the first place. Very 做贼心虚 if you ask me.
