china made Mao a god despite him being responsible for the most chinese deaths ever. control of thought and speech is very important. thats why even now ex PM Li Ke Qiang is a ghost to Xi. Die also must suppress.

Due to a glitch in the car-sharing application last Saturday (Dec 23), Ms Jane, a 29-year-old analyst who declined to give her full name, said that the app showed a rental duration of 36 hours even though it was actually less than one hour. She was one of several BlueSG users who expressed frustration over ongoing system disruptions to the car-sharing services platform that have been reported since Dec 19. On Dec 22, the company apologised on its Facebook page for inconveniences caused by glitches in its “systems migration update”. It said then that “immediate action” had been taken to address the problem and identify affected trips that had exceeded 48 hours, for which rental fees would be waived as part of its “service recovery process”. However, BlueSG users reported that the problems have persisted over the Christmas weekend, and many took to user groups on Facebook and Telegram to air their concerns. Some users took to social media to post screenshots of them being billed more than S$1,000 for over 48 hours even though they had rented only for short periods. In response to TODAY’s queries, Mr Kelvin Tay, BlueSG's chief executive officer, said that the firm had been experiencing service disruptions arising from “recent glitches" in its new app. “This was due to unexpected technical complexities stemming from the systems migration updates from Dec 19, 2023 alongside integration challenges with some of our external vendors, including incidents during this festive peak season,” he added. Mr Tay apologised for the frustration and inconvenience that some users faced, and added that BlueSG card payments for affected trips would not be processed until they were individually reviewed to ensure no overcharging occurred. On Tuesday, TODAY spoke to eight BlueSG users who said that the recent service disruptions had caused inconveniences to them such as reserved cars and parking spaces being unavailable, rental overcharging and unresponsive customer service. 'GHOST VEHICLES', TROUBLE ENDING RENTAL Mr Jacob Bong, 29, who works in the entertainment industry, relies on the car-sharing service to shorten the two-hour commute from his Sembawang home to his Sentosa workplace. However, on Dec 21, he realised that he was overcharged S$50 for his drive, which reflected a total rental of 67 minutes despite him using the service for only 32 minutes. As this “occasionally occurs”, Mr Bong said that he called the customer service hotline to end the rental service but did not reach a resolution over the calls, the messages over the BlueSG live chat and by email. Another user, 25-year-old student Nicholas Chong, arrived at Plaza Singapura mall to find the car that he had booked was not there. Instead, there were four BlueSG cars parked in the designated parking spaces, with two more taking up normal parking lots since other users’ reserved parking spots were occupied. None of the cars matched his reservation, so he resorted to taking a ride with ride-hailing service Grab after failing to start a BlueSG car for 10 minutes, for which he was charged S$34. He was given a refund two days later after filling out an incident form. Mr Shahir Ismail, who has been a BlueSG member for three years, said that service disruptions are “not new” and most have been previously resolved within a few hours. “This disruption, however, is the worst ever and completely changed my opinion of BlueSG as a reliable service,” the 28-year-old assistant engineer said. In message groups with other BlueSG users, Mr Shahir has seen other reports of “ghost vehicles” on the app, where users reserve an available car but the vehicle is not there. “Because of this disruption, even when the stations have BlueSG vehicles present, it is unavailable on the app. I believe this is because of those users who could not successfully end rentals,” Mr Shahir said. He himself could not park his rental vehicle at his reserved lot on Dec 19 because he found another vehicle already parked there. He was unable to reach a customer service officer through multiple calls and was automatically redirected to voicemail after 10 minutes. He resolved the problem on his own after another user drove off with a new rental vehicle, allowing him to park. So far, he has been unable to receive compensation for the extra time and parking charges incurred. Mr Eugene Khaw, 39, a marketing communications consultant, was unable to end his rental due to the breakdown at the charging stations and he could not reach a customer service officer after waiting for more than 35 minutes on the call. He added that waiting times while using BlueSG’s hotline had recently increased from five to 10 minutes on average to more than 30 minutes a call, or not even getting a response. Even though one has to be “mentally prepared for disruptions”, Mr Khaw said that these disruptions leave a “bad taste in mouths” and new BlueSG features such as ending the rental on the app still have “teething problems” because some reservations continue after being ended on the app. USERS KEPT 'IN THE DARK' Some BlueSG users said that they were reconsidering their subscription or had already sought to terminate it, whereas some others said that they would still want to continue their subscription if the disruptions were addressed. Mr Bong, for example, would like to keep using the service since he “heavily relies” on it. This is even though there were past inconveniences such as his reserved vehicle being different from the one in the lot or finding no car despite his reservation with BlueSG. For Ms Jane, she was “very disappointed” by the disruption, but she would continue to use BlueSG because she has “no choice”. BlueSG is the only service offering point-to-point car rental at a “much lower price point” than other apps, she added. Mr Muhammad Aiman, a 43-year-old security supervisor, said that he had started using BlueSG this year after getting rid of his own car. He also uses other car-sharing services GetGo and Drive Lah, but BlueSG is appealing because it provides “point A to B travel” and is “time efficient”, especially when travelling as a family with three children. However, since he was unable to reserve a car over the long weekend on BlueSG due to a glitch, Mr Aiman used GetGo, which incurred a higher cost with weekend peak charges. “We are encouraged to use public transport and be a car-less society. How can we be one when the system we want to depend on remains unreliable? How can we plan the day if we can't tell what is working and available?” Due to the recent "very disruptive" experience and "futile" attempts to reach BlueSG’s customer support, he has asked to terminate his subscription. Other users said that they relied on the advice of other affected users to navigate the disruptions when the customer service hotline was unresponsive. Mr Chong said that he received “close to nothing” in support besides “standardised template answers” from the chatbot that did not apply to his situation, so he had to eventually lock his card to prevent any extra overcharging. “Most of the information given could not be applied to users who were affected and the company's social media was only filled with apologies and no helpful answers. We were basically in the dark with how our situation would improve.” Mr Shahir said that users are still reporting difficulties in starting and ending rentals, and there had been little communication from the firm besides a post on BlueSG’s Facebook on Dec 22. “As monthly paying customers, on top of the unavailability of vehicles for use and instability of the app, I am more upset at the level of service recovery and assistance BlueSG is providing,” he added. “While technical difficulties are unexpected, how BlueSG handled this disruption is totally disappointing. Today is the seventh day since disruption, we still have no update on whether the app has stabilised or what is being done to resolve this problem.”

I will go public and mark up the amount by 100 times . let them "ghost fight ghost". 😁

ghost or phantom? 🤑🤑🤑

This punggol digital district don't think will become ghost town la, think it is under JTC. And SIT will be there also, i afraid that place might become too crowded. I think the forest area next to it should be develop in future. Even hearsay coney island also would be develop.

was there on Saturday....huge development...looks like office buildings a lot...and probably next time will have a lot of FT and might be from a certain country...I am afraid will be like a ghost town! My only hope now is that they stop developing from now on and stop destroying the forested area next to it..

Meanwhile, Forest City has been moved to the "coast of Singapore" 🤣 : https://supercarblondie.com/100-billion-eco-friendly-forest-city-ghost-town/

Hi all, just taken over a secondhand 6 and enjoying it so far. A couple of questions: 1a) Battery has '12/7/2022' written on it. From what I read, battery life isn't great on these cars. Given that it is 1.5 years now, should I change new battery as a precautionary measure? PPI didn't find any issues with the battery. 1b) If change battery, any tom dick harry battery shop can do it? I did see a few posts mentioning the need to reset something? Does it require a more specialized technician to do a battery change? 2) Not really a question but just reporting. Experienced what seemed like the ghost touch issue twice on Sat, but zero times yesterday. Will continue to observe for the time being. Any recommendations or fixes? I'm also considering retrofitting Carplay/AA (mine is pre-facelift) but I wouldn't want the ghost touch to be hanging around.

Sun Tzu time and white ghost time is vastly different. In ancient times, china had an advanced civilisation..... During sun tzu time, america was populated only by natives and europeans were still living in caves and huts. During tang dynasty period one of the high points of chinese civilisation , europe was still deep in the dark ages. However, during white ghost invasion time, China was only then emerging from centuries of isolation imposed by the dynasties, left behind while Europe went through period of renaissance and enlightenment. The tables had turned. China then had no answer to white ghost superior weaponry. In a way it's similar to japan. They too went through a period of isolation but finally had to open up after being confronted by superior firepower of admiral Perry's "black ships".

All the best mate. Car hunting is quite exciting really. Please update us again on your decision after you buy. @RadX The Alfa 4C in MF Ghost never go up tow truck or break down ok 😤🤣🤣

Thanks, I agree its a personal decision. One feature that appealed to me in the Ioniq 5 is that it drives very similar to my current car because on the Ioniq 5 I can use paddleshifters to select the level of brake regen that is most similar to my current car. The first time I test drove it, I found that in terms of pedal control, after the brake regen level was set, it was really similar to my current car, so it would be easy to switch between the two if needed. The only remaining factor is the price difference between Cat A and B. If Cat B continue to fall $10k while cat B only fall $2k, I may be tempted to get the Cat B. Brain say Cat A is enough, Heart says we all need more speed (just finished watching MF Ghost season 1 haha).

Got blue ghost, green ghost, red ghost and purple ghost?

Hey guys since it's the ghost month lets make it more interesting by posting ghost stories or encounters you've had?

It is becoming forest in a city . Forest City: Inside Malaysia's Chinese-built 'ghost city' Forest City was meant to house one million people - but only a handful of its units are occupied "I managed to escape this place," Nazmi Hanafiah laughs, slightly nervously. A year ago, the 30-year-old IT engineer moved to Forest City, a sprawling Chinese-built housing complex in Johor, on the tip of southern Malaysia. He rented a one-bedroom flat in a tower block overlooking the sea. After six months, he'd had enough. He didn't want to continue living in what he calls "a ghost town". "I didn't care about my deposit, I didn't care about the money. I just had to get out," he said. We had arranged to meet in the same tower block he used to live in. "I'm getting goosebumps just being back", he said. "It's lonely around here - it's just you and your thoughts." https://www.bbc.com/news/business-67610677
