Bank manager sacked for offer sex services to her clients?

According to media reports, the NTU graduate cum manager at a local bank has been sacked a few weeks ago after her sexual ‘exploits’ were exposed on the internet.

The lady in question, Miss C, was accused by a blogger for offering her sexual services to her clients:

“One of these female bank employees happen to be one holding the title of Business Financial Manager at the xxx Branch. xxx, who one of her solicited clients happened to be an acquaintance of mine, joined the bank not long before she started to moonlight, offering her body for sale for between SGD 3,000 to SGD 3,500 per month, depending on client.”

The bank has since confirmed that Miss C is no longer its employee, but declined to divulge further details.

The blogger added that it is a ‘common practice’ among that bank managers to offer ‘extra services’ to please their wealthy clients, especially those in private banking and wealth management.

One reader we spoke to said banks tend to employ young sexy fresh graduates to woo potential clients who tend to be older men successful in their respective careers.

Malaysian ‘FT’ and Singapore PR jailed for touching breasts of 13 year old girl on bus

A 30 year old Malaysian ‘FT’ and Singapore PR who is working as a technician in Singapore was jailed for six months for touching the breasts of a 13 year old girl.

Tan Meng Long pleaded guilty to touching the victim’s breast on SBS Transit service 53 along Lorong Ah Soo on Oct 4, 2010.

The victim was sitting on the extreme right on the last row when Tan got up the bus and moved next to her. Pretending to read the papers, he stretched his hand to grab her breasts after which he continued ‘reading’ as if nothing has happened.

Feeling traumatized by the incident, the victim told her mother about it and a police report was lodged the next day and Tan was arrested by the police on Oct 28, 2010.

In mitigation, Tan’s lawyer said he committed the offence in the ‘spur of the moment’. It is not known when Tan became a Singapore PR.

Singapore babes exchanged racist jokes about Indians on Facebook

Barely one month after two Singapore girls found themselves embroiled in a storm over alleged racist remarks posted online, another two babes were caught making racist jokes about Indians on Facebook.

Attached below is a snapshot of a Facebook conversation sent to us by an angry reader:

According to her Facebook profile, Cynthia’s last job was an associate at Changi Airport Group. It is not known where she is working now.

Under the draconian Sedition Act, one can be charged and jailed for making racist remarks detrimental to racial harmony in Singapore.

Two years ago, three Singaporean polytechnic male students were arrested by the police for making racist remarks on Facebook and were publicly shamed in the media. However, it appears that no stern action has been taken by the police against the women whom made similar remarks so far.

 

Singaporean woman Audrey Lim involved in sex scandal in United States

A high-ranking civil servant in the United States Michael Kelly tendered his resignation after being embroiled in an adulterous affair with a Singaporean girl Audrey Lim Suat Hui.

A former executive director of the Philadelphia Housing Authority (PHA), Michael Kelly was accused of having an affair with Ms Lim whom he appointed to head the agency’s department of human resources.

Estelle Richman, a U.S. Housing and Urban Development Department senior staffer who is once again taking control of PHA, confirmed that someone at the Philadelphia agency complained about the affair between Kelly and Audrey Lim.

A PHA spokeswoman today said Lim was hired on August 2009 as a Senior Advisor with a salary of $95,000 a year. Kelly put her in charge of human resources. Her title when she resigned on May 31 was Director of Special Projects with a salary of $125,000 a year.

Audrey Lim reportedly has two masters degrees and a doctorate from Penn State University.

According to the Philadelphia Daily News, Mr Kelly, 58, who is married with three children, has admitted that his sudden resignation on June 15 was prompted by the revelation of his affair with Ms Lim who has since returned to Singapore.

Speaking to queries from the media, Washington DC Mayor Vincent Gray’s spokeswoman Doxie McCoy said:

“He made a personal mistake. Mr. Kelly is a talented and committed public servant who is dedicated to expanding affordable housing in the District.”

Kelly, who lives with his wife in Washington, has not responded to requests for comment.

Sri Lankan ‘FT’ engineer driver rammed into family on pavement killing 64 year old granny

One month after a PRC ‘FT’ driver Ma Chi killed a Singaporean cabby by ramming his Ferrari into his Sonata taxi, another innocent Singaporean had died in a traffic accident caused by a ‘FT’.

This time, a 32 year old Sri Lankan engineer was responsible for the accident after his car mounted a curb and rammed into a family of four, killing one and injuring three others.

The fatal accident occurred at Woodlands Drive 14 at about 5.45pm.

64-year-old Wei Han Xiao, her daugher-in-law and two grandsons were reportedly on their way to a nearby coffeeshop for their dinner when the car which had P-plates suddenly mounted the pavement and knocked them down. Mdm Wei was flung several meters away and died in hospital at 8pm.

The Sri Lankan driver got out of the car and tried to escape, but was stopped by passer-bys. He told the media he had swerved the car in order to avoid a boy who had ran onto the road and also denied any attempt at escaping the scene.

Despite the recent high-profile cases of fatal accidents caused by foreigners, the Singapore Traffic Police continues to defend foreign drivers, saying that only ‘1 percent’ of accidents were caused by them last year while laying the blame on Singaporeans.

Singapore is a country, not a company

I understand what Old Guard is conveying, ie. from his experience, foreigners have more drive than locals and he therefore prefer to hire the former. This is exactly the same sentiment LKY conveyed some time back too, when he said that the locals lack spurs to succeed.

I also have no doubt that, in general, when you’re in a faraway land, to earn a living to feed a family back home or to establish yourself by gaining some working experience, you’ll also work your butts off.

However, Singapore is a country, not a company.

If Singapore were just a company, then Old Guard’s point is perfectly valid. Heck, I’d say he should go much further — deport the terminally sick and the old from the country, replace them with higher productivy resources. Open the floodgates further to the world, ater all, there’s always a better manager or entrepreneur out there. In fact, if Old Guard were to compete on a barrierless worldwide basis, I’m sure there’s someone better than him out there, who’s possibly cheaper as well and I’m sure he too can be replaced. Just like I can be replaced, or LHL can too. After all, no one is indispensable.

But Singapore is a country, not a company. To me, that’s the difference.

There’s a reason why Singapore male citizens are made (yes, made) to serve NS. Its to defend the country. What does that mean? When it comes to the crunch, when Singapore is at the verge and no one is streaming in anymore, it is hoped that the roots will be strong enough that Singaporeans not just stay, but be prepared to give up their lives to defend their country. It is “understood” that all the foreign talents who flocked to the country when good times are rolling will have left, but it is hoped that the locals who call this place a HOME will stay.

With this in mind, do you now see the difference?

If there’s any fault with the new generation, then surely part of the blame has to go to the older generation (and society at large) on how they raised the new generation and inbube the right values. If all of the new generation is like Wee Siew Khim’s daughter’s “get out of my elitist face” attitude, then there’s something we need to correct. Not just give up on that generation and say, open the floodgates, let foreigners in.

Its just like if you have kids. Yes, he’s not the smartest, the most hardworking, the most driven person in his class. Maybe he’s playful too, easily distracted. If Old Guard’s family were a company, he should simply disown such children, sponsor the top student of that cohort.

To me, that’s what the discontent about foreigners in recent years boils down really to. If this is my home, and the place in which I’m rooted, then why is there no place for me to earn a decent living. Why isn’t the govt “protecting” me, not so much to make life cushy for me, but make it a level playing field? We’re not asking for much, just for the govt to do what other govts do for their citizens (yes, CITIZENS)? Is it all my fault, as the govt alleges; or has some fundamental mistake been made?

NTUC to increase wages of cleaners ‘progressively’

With public disgruntlement growing among Singaporeans at stagnant wages in the lower-income group, Singapore’s only legal trade union NTUC is set to increase the wages of cleaners ‘progressively’.

Instead of the usual ‘cheaper, better and faster’, NTUC Chief Lim Swee Say rolled out his concept of ‘progressive wages’ during a cleaning industry forum yesterday.

Under the concept, NTUC will set specific targets to lift wages of cleaners to S$1,000, S$1,200 and S$1,500 or more.

“Our philosophy, our belief is that every job can be improved in terms of skills, in terms of productivity, in terms of outcomes, in terms of wages,” Mr Lim said.

He added that the progressive wage system will operate under the existing Inclusive Growth Programme and Best Sourcing Initiative and believed the progressive wage approach is a pragmatic one and would be better than implementing a minimum wage policy.

“If we set too low the minimum wage it will not solve the problems faced by the low wage workers. If we impose too high the minimum wage then some of the low wage workers may become unemployable,” Mr Lim said.

Under the unique Singapore system, Mr Lim is also a cabinet minister who is paid more than $1 million dollars a year.
