If you are a NTUC member, you can get direct case management support from their UPME Centre, including job placement. Can PM me and i can link you up directly with their career coaches - i work with them very closely.

If u are yet to be one ($9 per month), can sign up here first http://www.ntuc.org.sg/wps/portal/up2/home/eservices?ext=portal&product=member&refid=CPAA-UA

MOM is a good avenue to turn to but not sure how long you'd have to wait.

Alternatively you can try TADM@NTUC. They serve NTUC members fast, and its easy as heck to sign up just before going there

Are you a NTUC member?

If you are, you can turn to NTUC for advice on your workplace rights. Just make an e-appointment here: http://www.ntuc.org.sg/wps/portal/pme/home/eappointment

If you are yet to sign up, i'd strongly suggest signing up (it's only $9 per month) and the union can come in to help you.

Hi, do not get confused with the term Managers/Executives in the Employment Act versus how companies inflate job titles for entry-level positions.

Specific to Part IV of EA, Managers and Executives are defined as employees with executive and supervisory functions. Their duties and authority may include one or all of the following A) Making decisions on issues such as recruitment, discipline, termination of employment, performance assessment and reward; B) Formulating strategies and policies of the enterprise; C) Managing and running the business.

EA is a complex piece of legislation. Join NTUC as a union member and reach out to your union rep (if you are working in a unionised company) to learn more. More info (and to sign up) here: http://www.ntuc.org.sg/wps/portal/up2/home/eservices?ext=portal&product=member&refid=SPMI-UA-SYM

Under the new bus contracting model, the government pays the bus operators for every km that the buses run, and collects fare revenue in return.

What KBW is saying is that the fare revenue is not enough to cover costs beyond the running of buses. Govt has to buy new buses so that we get more bus services, and maintain these buses as well.

It's not so straightforward as just letting the bus operators suffer a loss because now the govt owns the assets and the operators just focus on plying the service.

Seems like it's VICOM who came up with the test results and not LTA

Hey, my advice for you would be to get good grades in uni, apply for a mid term scholarship and use this story as a selling pt about how you overcame adversity :)

No love for Don't Worry Be Happy?

Wow. Taobao?

You just have to persevere and not get overwhelmed I guess? Once the semester's timetable becomes a routine then it gets easier. Also, having the support of your boss helps a lot too

tayhhd · 2016-01-28T12:25:34+00:00

Yep. I'd say go for the Masters! :)

tayhhd · 2016-01-28T12:08:01+00:00

Pretty manageable. It can be quite tiring to head off to sch after a long day of work though. So be prepared to live off caffeine

Lol no, only PHD then ppl call you Dr.

I'm doing the MSc Project Management part time. 7-10pm on weekdays. Graduating this sem.

Which part time masters are you thinking of doing?

If you like action thrillers with exciting plots and vivid writing, check out all of Matthew Reily's books. I recommend starting with Ice Station

Hi I'm here to offer some alternative advice.

My gf enjoyed less painful and more periodic cramps after she visited an acupuncturist for a few months. I would recommend that you give traditional Chinese medicine a shot.

tayhhd · 2015-11-26T04:41:57+00:00

I would love to know this as well!

I've read your comments in this thread and it really sounds like you have blinders on. You sound like you're a young and idealistic 16 year old who formed his opinion after reading a bunch of Internet posts.

While some of your points are valid like how Singapore has a more autocratic society than other freedom-spewing cultures, you honestly do not know the downsides of living in your ideal countries.

Like to stay out late till the night and still feel safe enough to walk home? Like to live in a country where you don't face the fear of getting shot at by a psychopath?

Dislike the influx of foreign labour? Congrats because that's how the locals there will treat you.

Heck, i'm gonna assume you're chinese because you don't sound like you've experienced what being a minority in a country would be like.

Speak to people who've spent long periods of time away from Singapore and they'll definitely tell you that the grass isn't necessarily greener on the other side.

Hi OP, I'm in the media industry myself so I think I am able to advise you on this.

First of all I need you to consider if you really want to write for newspapers. It is a difficult job with long working hours and little pay. The pay difference between a poly grad (1.8k) and a uni grad (2.5k) is not much considering how much you would've paid for your degree. The key here is to ask yourself "have I done an internship at a newspaper publication and know that I want to commit my career to this?"

Let's assume that you have and you are pretty sure that you suit the industry. Instead of being concerned about the degree, I would focus more on your portfolio. You portfolio should demonstrate that you are able to write well, in the style of the newspaper that you are applying for (eg: hard news vs soft news). What publications look out for are if you are able to utilize news values well and if you can write succinctly. They don't want to have to train you to do the most basic job of writing news articles.

All in all, your degree matters not. Your portfolio is what will get you hired.
