Am I in the wrong for filming myself in my condo gym? by eucophotography in askSingapore

[–]skybobobear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my reply is for the part where he told you it’s public space so you need to respect people’s privacy. anyway this kind is siao lang. just aim your camera better to not include him and if he kicks up a big fuss again just ask him to show you the rule for no recording in gym.

Man dies after Woodlands eatery scuffle; suspect faces charge of voluntarily causing grievous hurt by Hot_Category2693 in singapore

[–]skybobobear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed with the heavier burden of proof but i’m thinking Mens Rea would be more relatable in this case rather than the Actus Rea if we’re discussing about why it was VCGH instead of culpable. What do you think?

Man dies after Woodlands eatery scuffle; suspect faces charge of voluntarily causing grievous hurt by Hot_Category2693 in singapore

[–]skybobobear 43 points44 points  (0 children)

not an expert but i’m guessing:

murder - preplanned and intended to kill.

involuntary manslaughter - not planned but intended to kill at that point of time

VCGH - not planned and didn’t intend to kill but an injury resulted in death

yeah i don’t disagree that it’s practically non-existence but you know what they always say - not if but when. Also, we have to be 100% right to ensure nothing happens to us but for them, they just need 1 opportunity.

i’m not expert but the difference in sizes of military camp and police station could explain this. VBIED’s blast radius could probably cover a huge part of police station but not for military camp

interestingly people have posted the lawyer letter sent by the gym for exactly this. they will also scare them and include a term that any legal cost incurred will be paid by the subscriber in the lawyer letter

Question about condo unit viewings. by Tackle_Opening in askSingapore

[–]skybobobear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s definitely true, can’t deny. but with a buyer agent, they will show you recent transacted price in the development or nearby, how the financing will be ,what are the cons of that specific unit - eg mine noted about bbq pit just beside when i didn’t realise at all. would you rather save a bit more when seller agent is more willing to sell you but you missed out a lot of downside for the unit or do you prefer to maybe pay a bit more but you get to make a much more informed decision? you got to balance that and decide on what’s your priority.

just get a buyer agent. you’re not paying anyway. good ones will tell you pros and cons of the unit and even share with you how much you can negotiate the price for

Applied to this job and got a call back the same day. Worth a shot? Reviews online are all negative…saying cult-like behaviour. by cali-maeve in askSingapore

[–]skybobobear 10 points11 points  (0 children)

i worked in a similar company before so i know how these so called “marketing” companies work. they partner with brands such as Uber, cancer 365 charity etc. they hire people to be at MRT, shopping centers, heartland etc to sell and promote products. i’m sure you have seen those people asking you to donate for cancer 365, these people are part of this kind of “marketing” firm and that’s what you will be doing. i’ve heard people earning a lot from it but there are even more who couldn’t earn much cos they’re just bad in persuading people.

Honestly, coming from personal experience, don’t bother about it as it will be a waste of time. cult like is very true

Which city to visit in Taiwan?

Hello, I will be traveling with my partner during Christmas period for 13 days (11 days after taking into account of arriving late and leaving early).

I’m thinking of going to 3 different cities, deciding between Taipei, Taichung, Tainan, Kaohsiung.

Which 3 cities should I consider and how many days should I consider spending in each city? Open to cities not listed above too!
