Ever since we started phase one, I see a lot of people asking, “Oei, why can take public transport to go to work or school but buay sai meet friends and family? KNS siah, why like that? What kind of stupid logic is that?” So early early this week, during the multi-ministry task force’s press conference, Lawrence (macam my friend) got explain lah. But lao niang don’t know you got try to understand a not. But never mind, lao niang explain it to you in Singlish style, you see you want to understand mah?

You take out your mask, then will hug hug and take selfie with each other because very long never meet. Then you will sit down

Circuit Breaker: The Struggles Of A Food Delivery Rider
Image Source: Jerry Toh via Facebook “Pls have some patience. Delivery guys are human too. They are not superman. “ The circuit breaker has unsurprisingly caused a spike in demand for food delivery services, with The Straits Times reporting a 20 to 30 per cent increase in demand. It’s no wonder that food delivery riders are now feeling the crunch. While the increase in demand does, in theory, mean that riders are seeing no shortage of assignments, it also means that they face increased waiting times and a slower rate of delivery. The waiting game caused a loss of business for riders, on top of other struggles they face on the road. UCARS shared one of the food delivery rider’s experiences on the struggle. Food delivery rider Jerry Toh shared about his experience during the circuit breaker in his Facebook post dated May 9. In the post, he laments that he often gets

Travel Hack Everyone Must Know
It’s a fact that we feel the need to stay connected everywhere we go in today’s digitalized world. It will be a total nightmare if we are disconnected while travelling, even just for a bit. (Just take a look at the recent outage when Facebook, Instagram and, Whatsapp are down.) Even if you do not dwell on such apps, a good WiFi connection can be handy when you need access to Google Maps. I am pretty sure you will not want to waste a single bit of your holiday getting lost in a foreign country, right? Unlimited data, Affordable & Good (Best network is guaranteed) “I’m travelling alone, why would I need a WiFi device when I can purchase SIM cards or activate my telco’s roaming services?” You may ask.

Man jailed for scamming more than 50 people on Carousell
On 28 Mar, 31-year-old Subramaniam Perumal was sentenced to 10 months imprisonment after pleading guilty to 36 charges of cheating. More than 50 people have paid several hundred dollars as deposits to rent vehicles from a “dealer” on Carousell but they never received the vehicles. Subramaniam made off with S$8,170 through his online scams. Between August 2018 to December 2018, Subramaniam would download pictures of cars from other Carousell advertisements and ‘rent’ them out on his own Carousell account. He would then ask for interested users to transfer him a deposit of a few hundred dollars. After receiving the money, Subramaniam would stop responding to their messages. When he received a negative feedback on his account, he would simply set up another account and continue his deception. When texting his victims, he would use mobile prepaid cards that were not registered under his name. How to trust Carousell like that
COE prices to rise
Starting from May 2019, the Certificate of Entitlement (COE) prices will increase, as the market anticipates a smaller supply of COEs in the coming three-month period. The premium for cars up to 1,600cc and 130bhp increased by 1.3% to $26,659 while the COE prices for cars above 1,600cc or 130bhp rise by 6.6% to $39,401 at the close of March’s second bidding exercise on 20 Mar. Additionally, prices for open category COEs closed at $41,000 – a 9% increase from the previous bidding exercise. Singapore Vehicle Traders Association president Michael Lim mentioned that the number of cars being scrapped has reduced in the past two months. This has caused the rise in COE prices as the COE quota is primarily determined by the number of vehicles deregistered in the last three months. Yong Lee Seng Motor’s managing director Raymond Tang believes that more drivers are choosing to renew their COEs

Ms. Lam then called the police. Ms. Lim, who was sitting at the back of the car, was then taken to the
New carpooling service on Telegram? Sure Boh?
A Singapore hitch group, SG Hitch group, was set up on 26 Feb, on the messaging app Telegram. The group aims to connect drivers and passengers directly, without the need for an intermediary. Members of the group broadcast the details of when and where they are headed, and if there is a match, other members can privately message each other to discuss the trip. Fares are worked out between the drivers and riders. What’s different from regular private hire apps is that the drivers do not have to pay any commission. However, according to Singapore’s regulations, drivers cannot offer more than two trips a day. Offenders may receive a fine of up to $3,000, a jail term of up to six months, or both. Many users commented that the SG Hitch Group is a good initiative. One rider, in particular, Ms. Adel Tan, said that the group provides another avenue
