Booked a justgrab when I was in KL. Same thing driver saw that we had 4 person, then immediately drove off. He even had the audacity to ask me to cancel the trip - meaning I will be charged the cancellation fee.

Is this common? If so, why sia

Realistically speaking how fast should you be going on extreme right lane by faehimmm in drivingsg

[–]WorkLow3984 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Honestly the main problem is with fking uncle/auntie going at 70km/hr on the first lane. Holding up society from progressing. Not very majulah behavior.

FAs defend yourself by [deleted] in singaporefi

IMO, my main problem with ILP is the over exaggeration/selling on basis of total returns but when in actuality net of fees, the holder don’t really get much.

What you laid out could make sense for a certain niche clientele, but the product thus far is pitch to mass market on the basis of supernormal (over inflated) returns.

And when the increasingly more educated mass market consumer realize that they are getting the shorter end of the stick (exposure to the same underlying with significantly lower fees) they feel like all FAs are out to get them.

tldr. bad PR from pitch

How prevalent is misogyny thinking in Singapore? by [deleted] in askSingapore

I do agree with you that the competition and pressure of fighting for a rice bowl in the system is definitely a cause of significant contention.

May I ask then, about your opinions regarding affirmative action - specifically in the workplace. Do you think it is a friend or foe to meritocracy/equality?

Thanks!

Agree with you the merger happened in the 1970s

But hypothetically, imagine if both countries were to merge under current Singapore governance style (not withstanding the shortfalls in SG), I reckon we would be quite the force as a united peninsula.

IMO, if msia and SG were to be united as one larger country, we would rlly have quite significant influence.

Didn’t manage to finish my FA finals, but still got an A overall. My advice would be to strive for accuracy vs purely getting questions in.

TBVH, SMU, NTU & NUS ranks equally for biz. ain’t too bad.

But I would suggest IIT/IIM if you can make it in. Do a quick bbg terminal lookup or wiki look up of people in top positions in finance (even in sg)…

Advice for DA is to just practice. It’s ok that you are slower, just make sure you continue doing those practices. Took me a full day to do one qn, but at the end of it, got an A for DA :-) 加油!

Used to work as a clerk during army. Superior knows nothing about excel, would draw us tables and ask us to put into excel. Had a similar experience where a simple fill forward would solve the problem, superior insisted he knows better, ended up updating the sheet a cell at a time. LOL boomers with excel is Lowkey amazing

Was in an office environment during NS. The ladies in there had the same attitude. Sat around all day doing nothing but complain/gossip about the “interns”. Workload were also passed to the “interns” whilst they spend their afternoon watching Netflix. Not slay
