This is a message for the boss of Grab (or whoever in charge of the fee structure of the autonomous shuttle): Hi Boss of Grab, For our region, Grab has definitely made our lives easier. Ordering food and grocery via Grab has become almost a daily habit. We love Grab in general. However, just today, I read on the fee introduced for your autonomous shuttle in PDD and felt very very slightly unhappy about it. And let me tell you why. Yup, as you might have already known, more than 90% of those in Punggol feel that the fee definitely needs some adjustments. For your information, this area is already very well accessible by public transports due to all the recent hardwork by our MP Ms. Sun Xueling. Not only that, most of our residents here are car owners (of whom some are Grab drivers too). Besides, we are also already blessed with a very well accessible PCN which means that residents today can easily cycle to those destinations (the most environmentally-friendly mode of transport). Looking at it, all alternative modes of transportation cost much lesser than 50% of your fee proposed for the autonomous ride, which makes the option to take the autonomous vehicles sound like a rather foolish choice. 😆 Don't you agree? Why not then... make it 2-3 dollars per ride? Either that, or 敢敢 make it a premium mode of transport at 6 dollars per ride. (We Singaporeans really like lucky numbers you know!) Of course, senior citizens get half price hopefully, and parents with very young children like baby or toddler get bundle price (that would be the best), since these people are most likely the ones who need the service if they do not already own a car. In addition, those taking round trip gets additional one or two dollars off. Frequent users get some rewards in terms of Grab points which can be redeemed for Grabfood purchases, etc. Do consider about our suggestions on a viable fee structure. Thank you very much. :) Sincerely, a Grab Customer in PDD

199X baby here and not one of the lucky ones who got their BTO before covid-19. The newer BTOs are smaller and so much more expensive, either too ulu or too ex because central area. We had to ballot freaking 12 times and Feb was finally successful, but compared to peers who starting balloting SAME TIME AS US and got lucky and already finish reno and collected their keys, we feel so screwed over by this dumb system. While others are starting their lives and their new families, we have to wait for our BTO to be built which takes a few more years. I should be grateful for our upcoming home but I am resentful that it took so long to get. We aren't trying to flip unlike some couples, but we also don't want lease decay to screw us over and a lot of the resale prices are too insane to consider. It's so unfair, I know gov completely give up on us and rather prio Gen Z as they are younger and more likely to be fertile but feeling left behind SUCKS. But if we complain we're entitled. Like yeah try being in our shoes, the most important milestone of our lives cannot settle, how to even have kids? 0.87 is deserved

Are SBF flats not the same as BTO flats except they haven already been built?? And for some units HDB already accepted 20% deposit but some couples backed out, and HDB has the gall to charge us 10% more than BTO claiming its market rate. Like WTF our public housing system has to be the biggest scam how are people not seeing the problems? Housing is supposed to be affordable and yet everytime there's some hidden fee here and there, I'm so sick of this. BTO failed 8 times already and SBF also cmi queue number, resale is way too expensive unless we take lease decay units which equals to us throwing money into fire. I am damn done. Enjoy the roof over your heads because some of us don't get any and that's the REALITY.

Hi all, I am a small business owner and I just wanted to vent because my legal team advised me to not to write anything publicly tied to the business. I engaged in a marketing agency last year to help with content production and ads, we are a small team and more focused on ops side. Business was okay and then we started looking at marketing agencies so we can scale a bit more. Got sold a 5 digit package from a local SG agency that seems to know what they're doing. Honestly very expensive but naive me decided I should support local, give my own home base a chance. What followed after was months of hell working with junior professionals who don't know what they were doing. Sales guy dipped after I complained. Founder tried to tell us to work with them longer, results take time. No results, no accountability and we wasted our time and focus trying to get answers instead of getting for the results we paid for. Of course we know results not guaranteed, but this is complete zero. It's not normal, other agencies we worked with prior never did this badly. I am honestly just disappointed. We went with another (SEA) agency and the working relationship is so much better and they cost a fraction of what the Singaporean agency did. I can't even name and shame in order to prevent defamation case (the agency of course is much bigger than my small business!). I feel horrible knowing I am probably not the only small business that they 'scammed'. We have hence learned to do some marketing scope ourselves. That said, I wish there was a way for government to regulate these digital services. If we are not getting the results we are promised, sold the moon and rainbows, isn't this borderline fraud? We should hold agencies and businesses accountable. Small claims court doesn't really do much when it comes to lack of quality. We need to do more, else honestly what's stopping businesses from outsourcing? Quality matters in our little red dot! It is what sets us apart.

It feels like scam victims are being ignored by the government. From a victim’s point of view, it doesn’t seem like enough is being done to stop these scam calls from even reaching us in the first place. I was a victim of a highly sophisticated scam. It wasn’t an investment scam or a love scam. The scammers impersonated MAS, and they were extremely convincing. They had detailed personal information about me, including my full NRIC number. That level of detail makes it very hard to doubt them. Many people will say, “Why fall for such a scam?” But these scammers are highly trained in psychological manipulation. They understand how to create fear, urgency, and authority. They constantly evolve their tactics—often faster than public awareness campaigns can keep up. They design their scams in a way that avoids triggering bank liability, so when victims lose money, no institution is technically responsible. This makes victims feel helpless. When the system places the burden entirely on individuals to “be more careful,” while scammers grow more sophisticated, it creates frustration and distrust. I am not accusing anyone, but it raises serious concerns: how are scammers able to obtain such detailed personal data and operate with such precision? And why does it feel like victims are left to bear the consequences alone? Scams are not personal stupidity — they are organised crimes exploiting systemic gaps. If the government truly wants to protect citizens, action must go beyond public reminders. Stronger systemic safeguards, better tracing of funds, and much tougher penalties for those caught should be seriously considered. Caning alone is not going to stop these scam syndicate.

I resign and became a stay-at-home mum after giving birth. Since then, my husband has been giving my parents and me a monthly allowance, as I am currently not working. My mother also helps to look after the baby, but not my dad. However, when things don’t go well for him at work or in life, he vents his frustration on me. There have been times when he threw things at me and insulted me, saying I am good for nothing. He is also a very hands-off father, saying he is too tired to engage with the baby after work. Yet, if his friends ask him out, he will go. I feel exhausted, disappointed, and unappreciated. I gave up my career to care for our child, but I don’t feel valued for the sacrifices I have made for the family. If you were in my position, would you choose to divorce or stay for the sake of the baby?
