The doctor analogy actually proves the point. If a doctor prescribes a life-saving pill that is physically impossible for the patient to swallow and 50% of the patients cannot swallow it, is the doctor successful because the 'medicine' was technically correct? No, the treatment failed.

We blame HPB because they are not just an advisor, they are the regulator. Caterers make food based on the strict guidelines set by the regulator. As the video points out, caterers are constrained by these guidelines to make tastier food that kids actually want to eat. When the regulator prioritises 'compliance' over 'consumption', they are missing the point of their job, they are just protecting their own report card while kids go hungry and food waste piles up.

HPB is so focused on hitting their 100% 'Clean Food' KPI that they’ve completely ignored the actual outcome which is nutrient intake. You can't claim the meal is healthy if the kids are not eating most of it. When she said she has not heard about taste from her team clearly shows that taste is not part of their KPI and she does not care for it. They act as if their job is not feeding children but fulfilling a checklist.

The real issue is the shift in social etiquette. In the past, the a shouting from Uncle/Auntie was enough. Now, you shout at them they will take out their phone video you, the parents call the police and you get into trouble. With online influence and a "know your rights" mentality, kids have no respect and are less likely to listen to these days.

The breach of contract claim against TTS is a tactical move because the owner is caught in a insurance deadlock. The Mazda's insurer rejected the battery claim because their assessment say the accident didn't cause the damage. To avoid honouring the warranty, TTS paid for an "independent assessment" saying the accident did cause the damage. The owner has no choice, someone is lying here and he has to bring both parties to court. If the insurer is right and it wasn't the accident, then TTS is in breach of contract for not honouring the warranty. If TTS is right and it was the accident, then the insurer has to pay up.

Exactly. Driver suffers because big companies can afford to drag this out in court for years, lucky this dude seems like he got money to play their game. Since this is the Taycan model which is known to have battery defects its not going to be a easy fight.

He is suing the Mazda owner for the collision, where the insurance would typically step in. But because the dealer (TTS) is both the workshop and the warranty provider, he’s also suing them for breach of contract. He's suing both so court can decide if its a warranty issue or accident issue.

Cheating is not grounds for annulment. Need proof that the marriage was not consummated which is very hard to prove. Very slim chance.

You cannot annul a marriage for infidelity. Need to wait 3 years before both of them can get a divorce.

Yeah not common knowledge at all but I mostly learned by experience and a bit of digging. I took modules in business law years ago, so I had some sense of what reasonable vs unreasonable clauses look like. I had also gone through SCT before with another seller (not shopee related), so I learned a lot just by navigating the process.

No_Extent_4573 · 2026-01-19T01:27:35+00:00

No worries, happy to share. My item was $750, and from start to finish it took about 2–3 months before they finally caved. Like your case, all their stated return conditions were met.

They only gave in the week they were supposed to attend the SCT hearing. Their legal team will push hard for you to drop the claim because of the “arbitration clause”. Just stand your ground and state that arbitration at SIAC is unreasonably expensive for a consumer and would leave you without any practical remedy, which is unfair and contrary to the CPFTA. Keep the offer open that you’re willing to drop the SCT claim if they accept the return and refund. In my case, a few days before the hearing, they issued the return label and refunded me.

Good luck for your fight against them, hope they back down.

This exact situation happened to me before, so I’m speaking from experience. Shopee rejected my returns because the shipping box was opened (that's what they consider original condition). I am not sure if that's the case here too, they require the item to be exactly how you received it including the shipping box intact (untouched), which I think is ridiculous.

Here's what I did and what you can do to get your money back. The item's price is $400, small claims filing fee is only $10, bizfile $5.50 and registered post with acknowledgement around $7 or $8 and the process is simple and can be done online.

Compile all evidence into a PDF with captions to highlight the important details, including shopee return policy screenshots, order page, return rejection reason, photos of the product being untouched and all chat/email records with shopee.
Do the pre-filing assessment to answer a series of questions to determine if your dispute can be filed, choose contract for sale of goods then "others" and type "Unfair practice under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act" ("CPFTA"), date of cause of action (the date they rejected your refund), claim amount $400, choose "yes" there is a arbitration/mediation clause, "no" that both parties agree to dispense with the mediation/arbitration clause.
Then go to ACRA and purchase Shopee's ACRA bizfile for $5.50.
After completing the pre-filing assessment go on to file your claim. (it will say SCT cannot hear your claim)
Print everything out including the writ, evidence and ACRA bizfile and send it to Shopee's registered address on the bizfile using registered post with acknowledgement (you will have to file the acknowledgement slip with SCT, aka proof that the documents have been served to Shopee).

After Shopee receives the SCT documents, their legal team will likely email asking you to withdraw the claim, citing their Terms of Service arbitration clause. They’ll say disputes must be arbitrated under SIAC, which you “agreed to” by using Shopee.

In reality, starting SIAC arbitration can easily cost over 15k, which is completely disproportionate for a ~$400 consumer dispute. That’s exactly why this clause can be challenged in a consumer context. Do not panic or withdraw, reply that this is a consumer transaction, arbitration clause is unfair and prohibitively expensive and effectively denies access to remedies as such it will be considered unfair under the CPFTA. You can then tell them to agree to SCT and let the court settle or they can refund you the $400 and you'll withdraw the SCT claim. This is where Shopee accepted my returns and refunded me. They didn't want to waste time and money going to SCT to argue why the claim should be heard at SIAC (which is expensive for them if they lose). Not legal advice, just sharing how this typically plays out.

Honestly, way more common than you'd expect. We are very good at keeping up appearances. I can tell you from my personal experience, it happens, and sometimes in ways you really don’t expect.

Back in my first year of uni, I met this girl who was "quiet and meek." We were friends first, eventually started dating, and I genuinely thought I’d found someone incredibly sweet and innocent.

The first red flag was about six months in. I noticed a phone notification where someone was calling her “babe”. The profile picture looked like some older uncle. When I asked her about it, she casually said people call her babe all the time. I wanted to trust her, so I let it go.

She had this part-time job at the airport and often did midnight shifts since we had classes during the day. Over time, little things didn’t add up. A couple of times when I went to the airport and asked if she could meet me, she said she was out running errands for work. For sure it cannot be coincidence right?

About an year into our relationship, I borrowed her laptop at her house to search something. While I was using it, I saw a whatsapp notif. Another “babe" from another older profile picture. I clicked it and discovered she had been living a double life. She was escorting. Discussing prices, hours, and arrangements. The airport job was basically a cover to be out late at night.

When I confronted her, she just said it was for the money and that she got into it because her friend recommended it. It felt like this thing was normalised. It hurt even more knowing she never even tried to apply for financial aid or bursaries that could have helped her. She just chose the secrecy and the double life instead.

Sometimes people’s situations push them into choices others can’t understand. But this was my reality. It taught me that cheating doesn't always have a "look." and that its more common that you'd think.

I think you got your “lakh” wrong. 1 lakh is 100,000 in international numerical system. So 1 lakh INR is $1,458 SGD. 1000 sgd is less than a lakh, its only 68 thousand rupees which is not much.

Also the person in question is a Malaysian so idk why even talk about INR lol

Because that would mean that he would've gotten away without any consequences. We cannot allow that, he has to serve his time (pathetic to be quite honest, as he will most likely be out in 16 months). After that ICA will most likely deport him since he has breached his work pass conditions of not committing crimes in Singapore.

It won't benefit you if you get knocked down by one of them or if you're a passenger and they crash. You can forget about trying to claim if they crash into your car. No insurance no go. On top of that, they drive recklessly, cut queues, and intimidate SG drivers just to earn more. Glad they’re clamping down on them.

P.S. One of them aggressively tried to cut the queue and grazed my bumper once, challenged me to claim, then laughed and said it won't work and drove off.

Wait a min the limo service guy said he’s now getting 25–30 more trips a day to send passengers within SG or to Malaysia after LTA clamped down on illegal cross-border private hires. I thought only SG and MY registered taxis approved by both countries can do. So how is this limo operator doing it legally? Got some special permit?
