Encountering someone who is behaving unpredictably, extremely agitated, confused, or aggressive can be frightening. Whether it happens on the MRT, at a hawker centre, in your neighbourhood, at work, or in a public space, the most important thing is to prioritise safety rather than trying to diagnose or confront the person . It is also better to avoid labels such as “crazy person.” Unusual or aggressive behaviour can have many causes, including emotional distress, a mental-health crisis, intoxication, medical problems, or simply a highly stressful situation. You may not know what is happening to the person. Here are practical ways to respond safely in Singapore. 1. Keep Your Distance Your first priority should be creating physical space. If someone is shouting, making threatening gestures, following people, or behaving unpredictably, avoid moving closer to them. Do not crowd them, stare at them, touch them, or attempt to physically restrain them. If possible, move toward a safer locatio...

Scams can be surprisingly profitable, not because they rely on sophisticated technology, but because they exploit predictable human behavior. Understanding the mechanics behind successful scams can help individuals and businesses recognize warning signs before money or sensitive information is lost. 1. Scammers Exploit Trust The most effective scams often imitate something familiar: a bank, government agency, delivery company, employer, friend, or popular online service. Familiar branding and convincing language can make a fraudulent request feel legitimate. Defense: Verify unexpected requests through an independent channel. Don't rely solely on the phone number, email address, or link provided in the suspicious message. 2. Urgency Is a Major Warning Sign Fraudsters frequently create artificial deadlines: an account will supposedly be closed, a payment is allegedly overdue, or an opportunity will disappear within minutes. Urgency discourages careful thinking. Legitimate organizati...

Last updated: August 2026 If you are a Singapore Citizen planning to marry a Thai national in Singapore, the process is generally straightforward as long as you prepare the required documents and meet Singapore's marriage requirements. However, there are several important things to know before setting your wedding date. These include the 31-day Singapore stay requirement, the 21-day marriage notice period, Ministry of Manpower (MOM) approval for certain Work Permit holders, and the immigration arrangements for your Thai spouse after marriage . This guide explains the process step by step. 1. Can a Singaporean Marry a Thai National in Singapore? Yes. A Singapore Citizen can legally marry a Thai national in Singapore. For a normal civil marriage, the couple generally registers the marriage with Singapore's Registry of Marriages (ROM) through the Our Marriage Journey (OMJ) system. Official ROM website: Our Marriage Journey (OMJ) – Civil Marriage Process The standard civil marriag...

Retiring by 40 sounds almost impossible in Singapore. With high housing costs, rising healthcare expenses, and one of the world's most expensive cities to live in, early retirement requires more than simply saving a little more each month. But it can be achievable for some people—especially if you approach it as a financial independence problem rather than simply a retirement problem. The goal is straightforward: build enough invested assets that your portfolio can support your lifestyle without requiring a salary. This guide explains how to work towards that goal in Singapore. 1. Define What "Retirement by 40" Means Before calculating how much you need, define retirement. For one person, retirement might mean spending $3,000 a month on a simple lifestyle, travelling occasionally and living in a fully paid-up HDB flat. For another, it might mean $7,000 a month, frequent overseas travel, private healthcare and a condominium lifestyle. These are completely different financi...

My contract is ending soon, so this Wednesday got a newcomer, I greeted him and shook his hand, felt that his hand kind of huge, then after a while I noticed that his hand is very swollen like a balloon, first time meeting him so I didn't want to be rude and ask about his hand. After getting to know more about him, he told me he has a gout flare-up, so his hand is swollen, leg also swollen, then I noticed that he has difficulty walking, like really limping quite badly. His hair is also messy and greasy, middle part like balding, only late 30s but look like late 60s, dress also like machiam homeless person, shoes also like kind of oversized or maybe his feet is huge, he's not that tall but he's got really big shoes, or maybe his feet is also swollen that's why wearing larger shoes, I don't know, overall give me that very unkempt impression. Technically I think he knows his stuff, I can easily pick out a bluffer so he's definitely not a bluffer. Problem is that I ...

This morning suddenly woke up with tightness on my left chest, after that didn't sleep well and felt giddy and didn't go to work. Good thing my home downstairs have a clinic, super convenient, went to see the doctor, did ECG and the doctor thought it is better to send me to A&E for further checks just in case it is heart attack. I think he is concerned because I am a smoker. Took direct bus to NUH A&E, did blood test, ECG and x-ray but didn't find anything unusual. The doctor suspected it could be muscle ache instead since I work out regularly, doctor also talked to me about my smoking habit, told her I am cutting down. Also told her I rarely drink alcohol. She also arranged a threadmill test 2 weeks later. Heng not heart attack, I thought I was going to be warded or something, been smoking too much maybe, one session 2 sticks, frequency increasing, probably should try not to chain smoke too much.

Informed my boss that I will not be renewing my contract, he called me and tried to apply the usual gaslighting tactics like "it's very normal to do multiple roles" haha yeah right, the more you know the more you do at the same pay, if one person can do everything, which boss will hire more people? Come on la, I not first time in the workforce so this trick don't work on me. And funniest part is he told me he promise a 5% increment, I almost laugh out loud, I think he doesn't know that my baseline is 25% lol. But it's ok, I just told him I want to take a long break and see how later on, also told him I will do a proper handover, in the end there's nothing he can do also, contract end, match my expected salary or bye bye, as simple as 123. Anyway I'm working out my expenses, now that my housing settled, no more loan, parents also settled, way better off than me, wife and daughter operations also settled, I think I can just find any job, doesn't need...

Now that my contract is ending in Sep, I have been thinking if I should try other field to see if I can gain a new perspective and ignite a new passion. I have been in IT for 20+ years, it all started with a passion to learn more about hardware, software, network, programming, solve technical problems, every difficult problem I solved, I always felt that I leveled up, I mean I still feel a sense of achievement these days but it kind of feels different, or maybe I got older. I tried various roles, various industries, various projects, different companies, but it's always the same old shit, like people shitting in toilet and don't bother to flush for months and years, and I always have to go in to clean the whole toilet, that whole few years of shit, and I'm just getting a single person's salary. Not sure if people understand this, but for a car to run smoothly, every part has to work well, same goes for any system, any project, some people keep the whole car clean and ni...

So she wanted to find out how come I asked for 15-20% increment, so I shared with her the current situation, people leaving, expanded job scope and etc and she also surprised that I'm the one and only engineer left and she asked if there will be new people coming in I told her got interview one guy but not confirm also because that guy is a foreigner so need to clear another security level even if we want to hire him so it's like 50-50, then also not sure if there will be another guy coming in since 2 engineers tendered. Then she told me it's impossible to get 15-20% increment so I told her I will not renew the contract and I will work until Sep, then she said even though she said impossible but let her check with the company, I also told her that 15-20% was when one guy tendered, now that another guy tendered and there's no certainty of hiring people, I am asking for 25% increment instead. Then she said don't close the chapter yet, let her check, haha, I told her s...
