Quan Yi Feng Hits Taxi Driver 权怡凤打德士司机

Not again? Why can't she just behave? Goodness!

My dislike for her has just gone 2 notches higher.

My question is, why did her friend not help her with her luggage?

And if she is so particular about someone helping her with her luggage, why did she not flare up at her friend?

Also, when she starting hitting the taxi driver "below his belt", why did her male companion not stop her?

She has to behave, does she realise she is a public figure?

Flowers belonging to charity stolen!

Was clearing the content in my Nokia E75 (preparing for the iPhone launch tomorrow), when I realised I have not uploaded these pics.

For those who have not read / heard the news from the papers, let me tell you what happened.

One charitable organization (pardon me, I forgot the name of the organization) decided to "plant" these beautiful yellow flowers all over the FAMOUS Raffles Place Grass Patch, supposedly to raise awareness for their charity campaign.

You make a donation of $5, and you get to either bring a stalk of one of these beautiful flowers home, or you can choose to plant it back onto the grass.


Most of us would just admire the beauty of these flowers, some would take pictures, but some ugly Singaporeans chose to "STEAL" or "CONVENIENTLY TAKE" these flowers at night (or even in broad daylight), because they cannot afford to donate $5 / are cheap skate / are ignorant / plain stupid!


The said charitable organization apparently reported the next day that they have lost $5000 in donations due to 1000 flowers being stolen overnight!

You see, this campaign was supposed to go on for a couple of days, so if I am the organizer, I would also choose to leave these flowers on the grass patch, because it doesn't make logical sense to "plant" and "unplant" hundreds of these flowers everyday.

But all the poor organizer got was $5000 losses in donations, having to lodge a police report, and to face media and public scrutiny. Some called the organizer "stupid" for leaving these flowers overnight.


I really pity the organizing committee for this campaign, because I believe they must have gotten a earful from their big bosses.


Why can't Singaporeans just leave things alone?

One guilty lady apparently brought a couple of flowers back the next day, after reading the article, and made donations on top of returning the flowers.

Well, at least she was brave enough to own up.


Have you also taken the flowers?

I hope not, because if you have, you should be VERY ASHAMED of yourself!

All smokers, please take note!

With effect from 1 January 2009, more places have been banned from smoking.

Thus, all smokers, please take note as those NEC people will be watching!

You Could Be Their Victim

If you do not want to be the next victim of thieves, please be vigilant!

1. Do not leave valuables like mobile phones and wallet on the table when you are eating, not even when you are in a big group. Thieves are faster than you think.

2. Do not hang your bag at the back of the chair or leave it unattended in a crowded place / food court / coffeeshop.

3. Do not be distracted when someone knocks onto you, or spills something on you. If this happens, please immediately check your belongings.

4. When you spot someone suspicious, please be mindful of your belongings.

5. Do not count / flaunt your cash openly in public.

6. When someone suddenly comes too close for comfort to ask for direction or time, beware of pickpockets.

7. When walking on a pavement along the road, do not sling your bag on the side of the road. Instead, sling it on the pavement side. Also, always walk in the opposite direction facing oncoming traffic.

8. Never leave your cashcard, briefcase, laptops, wallets in your vehicle.

Lottery phone scam: 5 Taiwanese nabbed

***Updates:
Found this video from Youtube. Hope this Crime Watch Episode can give everyone a clearer understanding how these scams are plotted.




---------------------------------------------
I do not feel sorry for these victims anymore. Seriously, are they dumb or what? $85,000 lost collectively by 5 victims?

This is not some new scam and Singaporeans should be very well informed of such scams already, especially when most of the victims are often educated.

For me, I receive such scam calls once every month and I always enjoy "playing along" with them and giving them false hope I am their next victim. Then I avoid their calls totally. Haha.

Such scams are always done by China people as they have very strong accent, so please more vigilant and do not be victimised by such scam calls!!!

(Actual story)
WHEN eight Singaporeans were told via telephone calls from China that they had won handsome cash prizes in a lottery and had to remit money in order to get their prizes, they fell for it.

They believed it so much that they jointly sent almost $85,000 in 'administrative fees' to a Taiwan bank account.

When no prize money arrived, they realised they had been tricked and went to the police.

On Tuesday, five members of the Taiwanese syndicate behind this phone scam were caught in a joint operation between the Singapore Police Force's Commercial Affairs Department and their Taiwanese counterparts.

On Tuesday, five members of the Taiwanese syndicate behind this phone scam were caught in a joint operation between the Singapore Police Force's Commercial Affairs Department and their Taiwanese counterparts.

The syndicate, helmed by a man named Hu, ran an operation under the name Hong Kong China Trust Group.

The Taiwanese authorities said the syndicate hired Chinese nationals to make calls from China to residents here to tell them about their 'prize' of about HK$60,000 (S$11,850).

The catch was that they had to remit administrative fees to a bank account in Taiwan to claim their prize.

Money sent to this account would then be withdrawn by the syndicate, which sent 90 per cent of it to the ring's headquarters in China through an underground money laundering channel.

The remaining 10 per cent of the money was retained by the Taiwanese group for its own use.

The Singapore police would not say how long their Taiwanese counterparts had been working on the case, or whether the ringleader Hu was among those arrested.

But the police here disclosed that they had given information to their Taiwanese counterparts earlier this year.

Phone scams have been on the rise here - almost 603 victims have fallen victim to these fraudsters from January last year to June this year, siphoning almost $9 million.
