Singapore is now the new sick man of South East Asia

Suzhou Loser Jos Teo likely needs to look for a new job or retire in Australia ....

 

[nightsafari]

We owe these foreign workers a debt of gratitude for helping us to build our MRT and HDB flats so we should look after them now

I'm with you!!

Gratitude??? They didn't move to Singapore to work out of the kindness of their hearts. They did it to earn big bucks and fuck your maid.

Might I suggest a small revision?

They came because they were desperate to feed themselves and their families? I hardly think they get big bucks in those jobs.

and c'mon lah... if it's consensual why deny fringe benefits like fucking to your labour corps? The maids are happier too.

 

[nightsafari]

They do the job no doubt but gratitude is reserved for those who do things selflessly.

that's going to be very, very few people to be grateful for...

I for one should be extended some gratitude for paying for the hosting of this forum while expecting nothing in return.

Tell me where else can you post the garbage that you guys do without being banned by the mods.

Here's 100,000 banglas. Do they look desperate and starving? They could come in the middle of the day for a funeral.

Glad you're here John can you please convey your message to LHL and his team to get rid of the Bangla count?

I am very proud of Singapore and I'm always boasting to my Kiwi mates about how fantastic my motherland is.

Now because of this erroneous compilation of the stats to include a bunch of temporary coolie laborers when they have nothing to do with Singapore I have been forced to shut my trap and maintain a low profile.

 

[hofmann]

Can you find enough local sinkies to do the construction labourers jobs ?

You ever seen a Japanese construction site? Few workers, many machines. Tonnes of skyscrapers.

I was just about to suggest that...

And indeed I am grateful to you specifically for setting this up. I've mentioned this before in a post or two. again my memory is fuzzy so I don't remember exactly how many times I've said it. You and scroobal were people I specifically mentioned being grateful to. But in general, I'm a grateful person. I thank the hawker who made my food, the bangla sweeping the corridor. Everyone that I feel made my life easier that day whatever his reasons were.

At this point, somehow jw5 will find this post and stick up a picture of Mark Andrew Yeo....

john, how can you or I reasonably ascertain the financial or living status of these people back home before they arrived here and/or this pic? For that matter, how can anyone tell if you are a superstar businessman or that I am a struggling person living from hand to mouth? I've heard stories from some banglas and they weren't pretty and no matter how well they're doing here, I'm not trading places with them. Would you trade your life for theirs?

now I'm even more perplexed. It's fairly obvious that you are pro=PAP and pro-Singapore and I for one agree with your general assessment with how well run the country generally is. Which is why I'm a bit nonplussed when john calls me oppie.

However, this doesn't jive with the statement that you will be arrested once you set foot here.

What did I miss??

 

[birdie69]

I'm with you!!

I appreciate these foreign labour help to build houses, infrastructure and works that Sinkies do not want to work. But, I cannot accept those S Pass and foreign talents from China, India and Philippines, they are here displaced our young workers and take away jobs from our PMET

Just because I am proud of Singapore does not mean that Singapore is proud of me.

Nope I have not seen that but I only know that it is labour intensive for the Sinkieland construction sites and also dangerous jobs.

I agree and now I'm wondering why those S Passes are being given out...

 

[nightsafari]

Just because I am proud of Singapore does not mean that Singapore is proud of me.

then shame on Singapore because as far as I am concerned, you are an achiever and entrepreneur par excellence. I don't know what you did before, but your sex forum is the very definition of enterprise that Singapore is so desperately seeking. I am confused as to why foreigners with no local knowledge are being fast tracked in for their supposed entrepreneurial excellence but fail to perform when the hammer drops and just buy a expensive house or two and fuck off. Versus you who is a proven blue water entrepreneur and understand its local nuances enough to succeed where no one else has before. well ok... maybe after hearing about OK Lim's story I'm impressed too, but his was a pretty well-defined product in a well defined market.. but otherwise you did rock the market.

and you can quote me on that.

now wait. why are those guys in the pickup in singapore and you not when you are such an obvious supporter. Things seem to make less and less sense the more I delve...

Couple jailed, fined for running website advertising vice operators' sexual services

A married couple were jailed a total of 29 months and fined $140,000 on Tuesday (9 January) for operating a website that advertised vice operators’ sexual services.

Liu Chin Guan, 36, and Angela Lim Xiuyan, 32, pleaded guilty last year to 10 and four charges respectively for abetment by intentionally aiding in living off the earnings of prostitution. They made some $650,000 over the five years that their website was in operation.

Liu was sentenced to 21 months’ jail and fined $100,000, while Lim received an eight-month jail term and $40,000 fine. Eleven additional charges were taken into consideration for Liu, an e-commerce businessman, while another 17 charges were taken into consideration for Lim, who is a housewife.

The court heard that Liu’s uncle, Sunny Liu, had engaged a designer to create a website advertising sexual services in 2011. Sunny then roped in Liu to help with the site’s administration.

After some time, Sunny went missing and Liu took over the website’s operations. According to court documents, Liu “actively advertised” the website on popular vice forums in an effort to drum up more business from vice operators looking to promote their services.

Liu charged the vice operators about $300 per month each to advertise on his site. To prevent his identity from being associated with the website, Liu also paid a Thai national $1,000 to open a local bank account into which the vice operators deposited their payments.

On Liu’s instructions, his wife regularly withdrew money from the account and sometimes liaised with potential advertisers. She also uploaded banners onto the website.

The couple used proceeds from the website for living expenses and to purchase a Volkswagen Golf car.

A total of 17 vice operators were found to have advertised their services on the couple’s website. Investigations revealed that two vice operators paid the couple fees of between $300 to $500 per month from their prostitution earnings.

The couple were caught in May 2016.

Deputy Public Prosecutor James Chew had asked for a total sentence of 24 months’ jail and a $100,000 fine for Liu, saying that he had run a “large-scale enterprise” and that the period of offending was long. Chew asked for jail term of 10 months and a fine of $40,000 for Lim.
The couple’s lawyer Shaneet Rai said in mitigation that Liu was “second removed” from the operations of the vice operators and prostitutes, and had no contact with them.

Regarding Lim’s involvement in the enterprise, the defence highlighted Lim’s psychiatric report which said that she had a “timid” personality due to a traumatic childhood and deferred to her husband in decision-making matters.

Rai sought an 18-month jail term for Liu and up to three months’ jail for Lim. Both have no previous convictions.

District Judge Diana Haven Ho said that Liu’s actions were less culpable as compared to other vice website operators who created the content for their own websites and interviewed victims for prostitution.

DJ Ho imposed a high fine because the amount of revenue earned by Liu’s site was “substantial”.

The judge took into consideration Lim’s background in sentencing her but noted that Lim’s actions were not that limited as she did play a part in maintaining the website. She was also aware of the website’s nature, said DJ Ho.

The judge granted permission for the couple, who have an 11-year-old son, to begin serving their sentences on 19 February so they could celebrate Chinese New Year.

The maximum penalty for living off the earnings of prostitution is a jail term of up to five years and a fine of up to $10,000.

ok... first of all we know that singapore is a haven for sexual services willingly endorsed and licensed by the powers that be. so for it to be criminalized like this is the very definition of hypocrisy. the goddamn national service is probably the single best source of new customers and referrals for the entire industry. When you have shown the verve that these people are desperately and fruitlessly rooting out around the world for, they have you in their crosshairs?

These capricious, illogical and ungrateful people forced you into exile. And you wish to return? When were you forced out? Because if it's sometime ago, the old one no longer exists and the place is now positively losing it's culture and it's homey ambience it used to have. It now feels like SE Asia's dubai for all its soulless monuments to entice the global rich.

I for one think your retirement plan is a sound one and I'm actually considering the same for myself.
