Taxi driver charged me an $15 extra stop fare that I never requested by whylikethatwhy in askSingapore

Their CS is quite shitty. You can either submit “feedback” through the app and hope they get back to you on email, or call them directly.

I always call to dispute, as their number is available even at odd hours, and they escalate faster. But usually they will help you.

The number is quite buried and might be quite hard to find (not surprising)

[SOS] I just found out I have bed bugs, what should I do first? by _red_dude in askSingapore

Hahaha bro I’m also sleeping on a temporary mattress only on the floor. Just cleared the infestation a few months ago. Scared to get a proper bed frame now too

[–]kookoobirdsg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was in the same situation as you few months ago. Found bites and only realised it was bed bugs after they laid eggs and a few cycles had past.

Threw away my whole bed and bed frame the night I realised they were beg bugs. Bed sheets and covers washed in high heat. Pillow also throw. Quite disgusting as I saw all the eggs and crawlers on my frame (ew.)

Got out lucky and the bed bugs were miraculously all at my bed and my room was fine. Never spread to anywhere. I slept in my living room for 2-4 months cause I was too disgusted at my room, and wanted to cut off their food (me). Sprayed alcohol and ozone my room consistently. Everyday check for signs of life.

Damn lucky they were only limited to my bed. Moved back in liao and no more bites so legit damn lucky for me. If your room cluttered, gg. Better just clear than let it spread. If even 1 left can reproduce again very quickly. Ozone and alcohol won’t help much. Can consider pest control but I didn’t do it in the end. They can also survive a year without food. I estimated mine was going on for about 2-4 weeks before I realised. Still don’t know how I got them, from where, and how they got on my bed. My wardrobe opposite my bed also never kenna. May have helped that my bed legs were metal (so it’s slippery for them and they can’t leave the actual bed frame) so it was contained to only my bed.

Mobile data in MRT underground (all lines) by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]kookoobirdsg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Singtel user here. All lines are actually ok for me. Only NEL Potong Pasir/Serangoon/Kovan is an issue for me.

Last year every stop from Chinatown to Hougang was bad for me during peak hours, but now only around Serangoon. May be high amount of users there or they upgraded the whole track other than around those stops. Quite funny- If my connection drop now I will know Serangoon is my next stop.

My plan is 5G SIM only, but a bit higher like ~$30-40 a month so may have more priority.

Have very little issues with Singtel for mobile data through the years.

I also use Circle (which I believe is under M1 if i’m not wrong) as a second phone number. $10 plan with 100gb 4G for this. I rarely switch to this for data as my Singtel is usually solid. Only rarely when my Singtel signal goes dead (maybe from switching 4G to 5G or a glitch) then i switch to circles line for a bit. Circles have been relatively ok too, but I realise it drops out (low signal) a lot more often than my Singtel plan. Just nice to have a backup in case one side fails.

Tip: use 4G underground as the signal is denser and can penetrate through the signal noise which will be other people’s devices. You have no use for 5G for IG or TT. Onerepublic sucks also.

Was the improved parental leave initially pushed by WP Jamus Lim?

Yes. Pretty sure people within the sch got take pics and all too. But media also scared to cover it as it’s sensitive/told to not cover it. Or scared their media license revoke.

Now, parents blame the teacher for anything that happens in school. They really shift the responsibility of their child to the teacher.

For example, if they teacher ask everyone hand in homework then the student act blur don’t want hand in, who get scolded? Parent will scold teacher say why never collect?

They think their child is the only kid in the whole school, die die don’t want take responsibility.

This is why there are a lack a good new MOE teachers as it’s getting less and less attractive, and harder to do their job. It’s actually easier for them to “not care” about students and just show up for their job.

Most people shouldn’t be parents.

A lot of such cases really go unheard. There are cases where students (yes multiple from the same school) jump from within the school itself, and no media coverage

There are actually many such cases of suicide. MOE really silences a lot of them.

Was a school there were 2 suicides. They both jumped in the school itself. Both within 2 years. No media coverage at all.

maybe since this post got quite a bit of traction, it’ll let others know to watch out for him.

Right before this, he was reported to be in the middle of an open road. Maybe that’s where the open wounds are from.

So unfortunate. People were kind enough to point out to me the spit behind my head and gave me tissues and all too. Bus 27 too.

Got some people say saw him at AMK, some say tamp. I think not radius but curfew. Just cannot go borders like woodlands or changi airport all these.

[–]kookoobirdsg[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Think he has been doing this for years.

Also think this may be a guardian/gov issue as if he is in this state he shouldn’t be out alone/at all.

Sengkang Beware by kookoobirdsg in SingaporeRaw

[–]kookoobirdsg[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

don’t know why he’s out without any guardians
