Priss on Oct 26th, 2011Not Enough Foreign Workers in Singapore?
A few days ago, Straits Times had a report on how Singapore’s increased foreign worker levy is affecting MNCs in Singapore and how these MNCs might bring their investments to other countries. To my surprise, Straits Times wrote another Special Report section on the same issue again. Straits Times 26 October 2011 reported, again, “Firms [...]
Priss on Oct 21st, 2010Hey OCBC, Alzheimer Doesn’t Mean Useless!
I didn’t want to read only 1 article to come to any conclusions, so I dug around for a few reports on this issue. OCBC claims that they did not allow Madam Hwang Cheng Tsu Hsu to close (and withdraw) SG$8 million account because they were afraid that she wasn’t acting with full mental capacity. [...]
Priss on Jan 2nd, 2009Construction Worker Pwned by Ferrari
I wonder if this is news because the victim is a Bangladesh worker or because the weapon is a Ferrari, or perhaps both.

I found that when I exercise and my body produces more happy hormones, I am less easily sick. During stressful periods such as exams or project datelines, I am more prone to getting [...]

The trendsetter of copying and pasting other’s words into your blog entries is none other than one of our notorious blogging queen – Dawn Yang This trend of copying and pasting isn’t created by Dawn Yang, but perhaps her influence in the subject makes it more socially acceptable to do. If you have been constantly [...]
Priss on Nov 11th, 2008Mediacorp and Singapore Press Holdings at War?
I’ve never seen a negative advertisement campaign on our local media before – until now. Channel 5 played an advertisement to boast Mediacorp‘s viewership as compared to Singapore Press Holdings. I assume it’s a tactic to show advertisers how advertising on Mediacorp is better than Singapore Press Holdings, but I find this ad completely dumb. [...]
