Don't know which cock wrote this SMS. I thought it was a scam. CPF website also crashed 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻 

The message is meant to notify CPF members that they are enrolled in CareShield Life, and that their ElderShield policies are being terminated, said the board in response to queries.

gov seems to die die want to send us sms with clickable links…. What is the point??? They say only send link in important sms. I won’t click links in sms and prob many people too so does it mean people will miss out on impt stuff??

Is it REALLY weird they spend so much time and money to review and come up with soooo difficult solutions when it is really much easier to just don't send out sms with links. Sure send out sms for just text information.

Couple in undelivered luxury goods saga fled Singapore in lorry container compartment: ICA

SINGAPORE - The couple who fled Singapore after allegedly failing to deliver luxury goods, worth at least $32 million, to customers did so by hiding in the container compartment of a lorry.

The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) said this on Wednesday (July 20).

In response to queries from The Straits Times, an ICA spokesman said a 40-year-old Malaysian man helped the couple leave Singapore illegally.

An ICA spokesman said the man had allegedly hid them in a lorry's container compartment.

He added: "ICA takes a serious view of attempts to enter or depart Singapore illegally and will not hesitate to prosecute offenders for such cases.

"We are working closely with the relevant authorities on this case."

ICA said it conducts checks on all arrivals and adopts a risk management approach for checks on departing conveyances, in order to balance smooth departure clearance and border security at the checkpoints.

ICA added: "Departing conveyances may also be directed for further checks based on risk profiling or any information received."

The police told ST on Tuesday they had arrested the Malaysian last Wednesday for allegedly helping the couple leave Singapore on July 4.

The man was charged last Friday (July 15) with abetting another person to depart Singapore illegally.

The police said it is working closely with foreign law enforcement counterparts to trace the couple and the criminal proceeds.

"Warrants of arrest and Interpol red notices have been issued against the couple," added the police.

At least 180 reports have been lodged against the couple since June.

The victims claimed they had made advance payments for luxury watches or luxury bags to the couple, who failed to deliver them.

ST spoke to 10 victims, aged between 24 and 52, over the past week and most of them said they trusted the couple as their business was registered as a regulated dealer and had a certificate from Ministry of Law (MinLaw) to prove it.

A MinLaw spokesman had said the business, named Tradenation, was registered as a precious stones and precious metals dealer on April 2.

"Registered dealers are regulated by the Registrar of Regulated Dealers only for anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism purposes," said the spokesman.

At the point of Tradenation's registration, there were no grounds to refuse it, said MinLaw.

But the ministry has now suspended its registration, which can also be terminated if it is found guilty of an offence.

I doubt the couple can stay hidden away for long.

People will recognise their faces, unless they do a spy thingy, separate, disguised and disappear.

Cosmetic surgery in Thai?

Hide in one of the mountain villages?

Not easy to track if they are outside BKK.

As for Malaysia to Thai land custom ..reserve my opinions.

Anyone been there recently? Still need to pay 10b for quickest queue at Thai custom? 🤣

Must be tip off. The couple maybe have gone to places like the whole sale market there to ask which driver is willing to smuggle them across the borders to Thailand for a good sum of money. Word must have gone around. At the whole sale market must have a lot of drivers who day in day out cross borders to deliver vegetables to sg.
