  2. A Briton, who got into a fight at a Halloween party, was jailed for 11/2 years on Thursday. James Daniel Rhodes, 36, was convicted of causing grievous hurt to Mr Ronald Tan, an Australian. Mr Tan, 34, fractured his skull during the fight and died 14 months later. Rhodes was also ordered to pay $32,000 in compensation to Mr Tan's mother. This is for medical expenses, loss of her son's income and transport expenses. Rhodes, a former bank officer, was also found guilty of punching Mr Kevin Michael Hubbard, 31, an interior designer, at the same party. He is appealing against the conviction and sentence and is out on bail of $25,000. During the trial, Deputy Public Prosecutor Sanjiv Vaswani told the court that Rhodes had been invited by a friend to the party on Oct 23, 2010 at The Spinnaker condominium near Newton. There, Rhodes got into an argument with Mr Tan. The Briton was told to leave but traded blows with one of the hosts in the lift. He was brought back to the apartment to change his bloodied shirt for a fresh one but while being ushered out again, he assaulted Mr Hubbard before punching Mr Tan in the face.

  3. Looks like MOM like to talk co.ck only. Discrimination against Singaporeans still going strong. Just a simple search on job ads reveal many foreigner only positions: So what exactly is MOM doing to stem the flow of discrimination? Or just print motherhood statements in the MSM, and continue shaking legs?
  4. The Singapore Vehicle Traders Association (SVTA) clarified today (Oct 21) that of the 2,438 motor vehicle complaints reported by the Straits Times on Saturday, only 1,084 were related to defective goods. The article — “Grouses about car dealers speeding up” — stated that the 2,438 complaints the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) received from January to September this year has exceeded the 2,255 made in the whole of last year. SVTA President Neo Tian Ting explained that the figure of 2,438 also includes enquiries and feedback, which do not require CASE to take action. Mr Neo also said that the spike in complaints this year can be attributed to the lemon law, which came into effect last September. Consumers, he said, could be contacting CASE more often as there is a misunderstanding of the lemon law. In fact, only 156 were filed and assisted cases pursued against SVTA members in relation to the lemon law and other complaints such as delays in delivery and misrepresentation — meaning CASE handled claims on the consumers’ behalf or assisted the consumers in drafting letters to approach the vendors themselves. Singapore has about 800 to 900 car dealers. About 410 of them are SVTA members. Source: http://www.todayonline.com/singapore/only-1-2-complaints-against-car-traders-were-about-lemons-svta

  7. Read todays Straits Times and felt extremely angry. The article talk about how great that the airport & NTUC managed to 'double' their staff salaries. But i was so angry reading the article. How can a government entity condone paying staff $500 a month? unless they are working 10 days a month, if they are actually being paid that amount for 1 month, that is abusing low wage workers even now with the pay increase, that is shitty pay. They will probably blame the appointed contractor, but if they know these guys were paid unfairly, why NTUC and Changi Airport only act now? ---------------------------------- see article extract here: Straits Times, 14 Aug 2013 Airport trolley handlers had their salaries nearly doubled from last month, as part of the labour movement's efforts to lift the pay of outsourced contract workers. The 240 airport trolley handlers are now earning up to $1,000, up from their monthly pay of $550 to as much as $1,000. Their increase in pay depends on their work attendance and performance. Besides earning more, these handlers will also get more training to pick up new skills to become more employable. The recent moves are part of the NTUC's progressive wage model, which sets out a career ladder with pay standards for low-wage workers in various sectors. NTUC assistant secretary-General Cham Hui Fong said on Tuesday that the labour movement will work with other employers to improve the salaries and job opportunities of other airport outsourced contract workers. These include baggage handlers and aircraft interior cleaners. Straits Times

  13. Hello Throttle2 Published June 11, 2013 Buying a house? Only cash will do The US housing market is hotting up so fast that the only way for a buyer to land a deal is to go all-cash and be ready within hours [LOS ANGELES] BIDDING wars sound almost quaint. These days, the only way for would-be buyers to secure a home, it often seems, is to offer all cash and be ready to do so within hours, not days. The bursting of last decade's housing bubble feels like ancient history here, where first-time homebuyers are competing with investors to get into single-family homes with prices approaching US$1 million. "It's everyone from a kid out of law school to an investor from China, walking around with thousands to spend," said Kameron Eliassian, a Los Angeles real estate agent. "I don't know where it's coming from, and I don't care. Just show me proof that it's there, and we're good." After saving money for years, waiting for the residential real estate market to hit bottom, buyers all over the country appear eager to get back in, lured by low interest rates and the prospect of a good deal. But with the number of homes for sale at historically low levels and large investors purchasing thousands of properties, buyers are facing a radically changed market and prices are quickly rising. The percentage of homes bought with cash has shot up in many markets across the nation. Nearly a third of all homes purchased in Los Angeles during the first quarter of this year went for all cash, compared with just 7 per cent in 2007. In Miami, 65 per cent of homes sold were for cash deals, compared with 16 per cent six years ago. The prices on all-cash deals are also rising significantly. In Los Angeles, the median price on an all-cash home this year is about US$351,000, compared with US$230,000 in 2009. Over the same period, the median price overall increased to US$410,000, up US$85,000. In fact, last month, home prices in Southern California hit their highest level in the last five years. All-cash buyers, typically investors eager to renovate and quickly resell or rent out homes, are making it more difficult for first-time buyers, who typically rely on mortgage loans that can take weeks or months to materialise. More California homes have been flipped in the last year than in any year since 2005. And while Los Angeles may be a centre of the frenzy, it is not an anomaly. Buyers in Boston are offering US$100,000 more than the asking price or placing offers on homes they have spent only minutes in. In San Francisco, Miami and Phoenix, sellers are looking at dozens of offers within days of putting their home on the market, often accompanied by letters from would-be buyers professing their love for the property. New York City has seen similar drops in inventory, and prices have been rising steadily since 2009. Buyers there are similarly racing to scoop up property. Shortly after Andres Alvarez, 36, got married last fall, he began to look for a home with his wife, figuring that their steady jobs, savings and good credit would make them the perfect buyers in Los Angeles. They were ready to spend US$700,000. Their optimism deflated quickly. "We thought we were the cream of the crop, but anything that was in our price range and move-in ready, there was this insane competition," Mr Alvarez said. They put in nearly a dozen bids, often losing to cash buyers, before finding a two-bedroom home for US$650,000. "It might be a great time to buy, but it's a horrible time to be a buyer," he said. Still, there are plenty of sceptics wondering how long the sharp price increases can last. "People are realising we've probably hit bottom, but the kinds of spikes we're seeing in places like California seems like history is repeating itself," said Daren Blomquist of RealtyTrac, which monitors residential sales. "That's not sustainable for the long term, at least not for the regular homebuyer, so I think there are some warning flags there." Lewis Legon, a developer in Salem, Massachusetts, jumped into the Boston market after he saw how many people were showing up at open houses. "It was like Times Square," he said of one open house, at a property listed for US$1.5 million. He beat out two dozen other bidders by offering US$1.8 million in cash, not the first time he had made an all-cash offer. "The first time I was ready to have a heart attack," he said of all-cash buy. "But it makes you a more attractive buyer and helps you stand out." He also waived the inspection clause, an increasingly common practice. While offers have typically included appraisal clauses, allowing buyers to back out if the home was valued below what they were willing to pay, offers today are more likely to include escalation clauses, saying buyers will pay an additional amount over the highest bid. "Buyers are taking a lot more risks than they ever would before," said Dana DeSimone, a Boston real estate agent who called the current market an "insane asylum". "I don't know that I've ever heard of waiving the inspection contingency on a 150-year-old brownstone until now." Now, agents say their biggest challenge is potential sellers who are wary of putting their home on the market because they fear they cannot find a place to buy. Jeff and Lorena Leininger considered moving from their suburban Los Angeles home over the last several years, but they feared they would not get as much as they paid for it. But this year, with their youngest child getting ready for kindergarten, they decided it was time. Three days after showing the home, they had nine offers. "It felt as crazy as it was back when we bought 10 years ago," Jeff Leininger said. "But it was much worse on the other side. We would show up to an open house, and it was already sold. The clear message was: Be ready to move fast or just get left out." Even in Florida, where the market was once swamped with foreclosures, there are signs of the latest boom, with cash purchases fuelled in part by international investors and retirees awash in cash after selling their homes elsewhere. Don Faught, a manager with Alain Pinel Realtors near San Francisco, said the current market is turning buyers to desperation, particularly because the turnaround has come so quickly. "A year ago, people didn't want a deal, they wanted a steal," he said. "Sellers were listing homes for less than what they originally paid for them and offering all these concessions. Now, the only concessions are coming from the buyers." - NYT
