It seems when pay out time arrives from insurances...obstacles always appear .. Extracted from another site... By Salma Khalik, Senior Health Correspondent The Straits Times, 25 Feb 2014. A second insurer has been taken to task by the Ministry of Health (MOH) over reduced payouts to policyholders on dialysis. Two months ago, MOH asked insurer AIA not to reduce payouts to such policyholders, whose benefits shrank when they were moved to a different health plan. About 20 end-stage kidney failure patients on dialysis were affected. Now, it has told Aviva not to short-change similar patients. The moves follow queries by The Straits Times to MOH about the reduced payouts.

Hi all, Wheel spacers... Good or bad... I mean seriously.... Strut bars are good, makes cornering better. Strut bars are bad, weakens parts of your chassis. Open pod is good, engine breaths better. Open pod is bad, lose low end and risk more dirt into engine. My point is, most mods will cause premature wear on the car, in one way or another. So it a fully stock car good? "Never..." The car enthusiast will say... Anyway lets get back to my topic. Wheel spacers... Some say just get proper off set rims... And seems many who are against it say it will cause premature wheel bearing wear. Seriously wouldn't a smaller off set rim (wider) also cause the small problem? And we all know most cars are designed to under steer, so that means the rear wheel axle should be shorter. And they are on most cars... I always thought a modded wider rear will increase under steer, some friends said so... But after some research, I think in fact under steer will be less. Maybe different cars will have different effects. Anyone got facts to share?

Saw this in HWZ. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=147495588788694 - taiwanese married atb in china then bring back taiwan - few mths later man died in car accident - according to law, atb have to go back to tiongland - within 100 days of death, the man's father suggested 2nd son to marry the girl and he agreed. - atb came back and family heypi - 8 mths later atb gave birth to a son. family even more heypi - but 2nd son calculated that timing not correct cnot be his son, neither can it be his bro's. - so secretly went for DNA test, found out really not his so asked for divorce. - THEN the father (70 y/o) come admit that it's his - so now this little kid become his little brother but the kid's mother is his wife - then old man (father) even divorced his wife of 30 yrs and dared to tell their immigration that his new-wife-to-be used to be his 2 son's wife. - then old man managed to bring her back to taiwan as wife.

From Punggol to Shenton Way, like in HK or Hollywood movie, chased by police, cruise through highway and tried to siam the police, nice try But does it take too long to stop this guy??? http://ride.asiaone.com/news/general/story...gol-shenton-way A 31-year old Singaporean driver had two police vehicles hot on his wheels in a 15km high-speed chase on Monday night, which spanned from around Punggol West to Shenton Way. He was eventually nabbed for driving while under disqualification, and for his rash act.

Pretty impressive!!! ******************************************************** http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/afp...1260132/1/.html Australian casino hit by "Ocean's Eleven" scam Posted: 15 March 2013 1158 hrs MELBOURNE: Australia's largest casino has alerted police to a betting scam in which a high-roller reportedly netted AU$32 million (US$33 million) in an "Ocean's Eleven" style heist. Melbourne's Herald-Sun newspaper on Friday said a foreigner staying at the Crown Casino was involved in the sting, which it believes accessed the venue's own surveillance cameras, which are constantly trained on players and croupiers. Information gleaned from the images taken by the high-resolution cameras was apparently signalled to the high-roller as he played cards, the paper said, comparing it to Hollywood blockbuster "Ocean's Eleven". In the 2001 comedy-crime caper, actors Brad Pitt and George Clooney also recruited someone familiar with security to rob a series of Las Vegas casinos. Crown said a staff member from the VIP gambling area had been sacked and the patron involved banned after the scam was uncovered several weeks ago, the newspaper added. Victoria state police said they had been informed of the incident. Deakin University's Linda Hancock, who has written a book about Crown, said surveillance cameras were throughout the casino but even more intensified in the premium areas. "There's someone in monitoring rooms looking at them in real time," she told the ABC. "So they must have picked up that there was a winning streak here that looked suspicious and zoomed in on it and then been able to look at what was going on in real time in the room." Reports said Crown believed it could recover a significant portion of the money.

HELENA, Mont. (AP) -- Months before Shane Todd's girlfriend found his body hanging in his Singapore apartment last June, the engineer told his parents he thought his life was threatened and that he was being asked to do something that might hurt U.S. national security. They were skeptical from the start when a Singapore detective said their son killed himself by setting up an elaborate rope-and-pulley system in his bathroom, then jumping from a chair with a cord around his neck. It was only later they came to believe he had been murdered over his research in New Jersey into material used to make heat-resistant semiconductors, a technology with both civilian and military applications. Now Rick and Mary Todd's claims are gaining traction. They have enlisted the help of two U.S. senators to bring their case to the Obama administration's attention, and they are trying to keep up with numerous media requests spurred by a Financial Times article that broke the story last month. The Singapore government is continuing to investigate, with the FBI pledging assistance. "We would like a congressional investigation," Mary Todd said Thursday. "We want pressure put on the Singapore government to work with our government to get to the bottom of this and make the truth known." The Todds traveled from their Marion, Mont., home to Singapore after receiving word of their son's death, arriving just a few days after his body was found on June 24. In the apartment, they found signs that he was ready to leave Singapore for good the next week: a plane ticket to the U.S., packed clothes, furniture that had been tagged for sale. Other things didn't add up. In the bathroom, there was no sign that any ropes and pulleys had been there, Mary Todd said. There were no bolts in the walls, no holes where they might have been, and no evidence that quick repairs had been made to the smooth marble. Police showed them a suicide note that had been written on Shane Todd's computer. It was an obvious fake, Mary Todd said, because it thanked his former employer, the Institute of Microelectronics, a company he had grown to hate and had just recently resigned from after working there since 2010, included factually incorrect details and didn't sound like their son's writing. "Absolutely none of it made any sense. I knew at that point that he didn't write that note. From that point on, I believed he was murdered," Mary Todd said. It was a chance discovery that convinced them that Todd may have been killed over the research that he that he had been working on for IME. Before they left to go back to the U.S., his parents found what they thought was a speaker for his computer among Todd's belongings. "I said to my husband, 'Can one of the boys use this little speaker? Throw it in the bag,'" Mary Todd said. It turned out to be a hard drive missed by investigators that contained thousands of documents Todd had backed up from his work computer. After having it analyzed by a computer forensics expert, they found a couple of surprises. First, the files had been accessed twice soon after their son's death. Second, the drive contained a draft of a project outline between IME and the Chinese telecom giant Huawei on the development of an amplifier device that utilized a material used in semiconductors called gallium nitride. Todd had been researching the heat-resistant material that has both civilian uses in products like LED screens and cellphone towers, and military applications in things like radar and satellite systems. He had been trained in New Jersey on proprietary equipment that produces the material but is restricted for export because of the potential military applications. Rick and Mary Todd said they concluded that Shane Todd had been asked to hand over technology related to his research that he believed would be used to advance Chinese military systems. Shortly before his death, in February 2012, he started expressing concerns to his parents. "He said, 'I think they've asked me to compromise U.S. security. I feel like I would be betraying my country.' But he didn't give us the specifics," Rick Todd said. He grew more anxious in the weeks leading up to his death, and told his parents to contact the U.S. Embassy if he missed one of their weekly calls, Rick and Mary Todd said. IME said in a statement that neither Todd nor the company was involved in any classified research project. Scott Sykes, a Huawei vice president and head of international media affairs, said in a statement the Chinese company "does not do" military equipment or technology, and its research and sales relate only to civil and commercial telecommunications. IME approached the Chinese company once but Huawei decided not to accept and has no "cooperation with IME related to" gallium nitride, Sykes said in the statement. The Todds asked for a coroner's inquiry and then hired a pathologist to draw an independent conclusion on the cause of their son's death. Dr. Edward Adelstein, chief of pathology for the Harry S. Truman Veterans Hospital in Missouri, found that injuries on Shane Todd's hands showed he had been in a fight. Adelstein also concluded that Todd was strangled by a binding of some type, then hanged after he had died in order to obscure the actual cause of death. The Singapore Police Force said in a statement they have asked for the FBI's assistance in persuading the Todds to share the evidence they have. The FBI has said it will comply with the request, Eric Watnik, spokesman for the US embassy in Singapore, said in a statement. The Todds said they would feel comfortable handing over the hard drive only if the FBI takes over as the lead agency investigating the death. They have enlisted the help of U.S. Sens. Max Baucus and Jon Tester of Montana. Baucus met with Secretary of State John Kerry on Thursday to brief Kerry on the situation. He has also met with Singapore's U.S. ambassador. "The Todd's incredible love for their son and commitment to justice is nothing short of inspiring. I saw it in their eyes, and that's what is driving me to do everything in my power to make sure no stone is left unturned in this case," Baucus said. ___ AP writers Faris Mokhtar in Singapore and Joe McDonald in Beijing contributed to this report. http://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/parents-s...-180817197.html .

I dont think this Harvard medical professor will BS about this kind of thing, unless he wants his own reputation to go down the drain. If he dares to speak up, it means he has something that he experienced. Believe it or not, it's up to you. For me, of course i believe! and i also believe there is a place called HELL for those evil-doers http://sg.news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/he...-213527063.html Dr. Eben Alexander claims to have visited the afterlife (Twitter) Dr. Eben Alexander has taught at Harvard Medical School and has earned a strong reputation as a neurosurgeon. And while Alexander says he's long called himself a Christian, he never held deeply religious beliefs or a pronounced faith in the afterlife. But after a week in a coma during the fall of 2008, during which his neocortex ceased to function, Alexander claims he experienced a life-changing visit to the afterlife, specifically heaven. "According to current medical understanding of the brain and mind, there is absolutely no way that I could have experienced even a dim and limited consciousness during my time in the coma, much less the hyper-vivid and completely coherent odyssey I underwent," Alexander writes in the cover story of this week's edition of Newsweek. So what exactly does heaven look like? Alexander says he first found himself floating above clouds before witnessing, "transparent, shimmering beings arced across the sky, leaving long, streamer like lines behind them." He claims to have been escorted by an unknown female companion and says he communicated with these beings through a method of correspondence that transcended language. Alexander says the messages he received from those beings loosely translated as: "You are loved and cherished, dearly, forever." "You have nothing to fear." "There is nothing you can do wrong." From there, Alexander claims to have traveled to "an immense void, completely dark, infinite in size, yet also infinitely comforting." He believes this void was the home of God. After recovering from his meningitis-induced coma, Alexander says he was reluctant to share his experience with his colleagues but found comfort inside the walls of his church. He's chronicled his experience in a new book, "Proof of Heaven: A neurosurgeon's journey into the afterlife," which will be published in late October. "I'm still a doctor, and still a man of science every bit as much as I was before I had my experience," Alexander writes. "But on a deep level I'm very different from the person I was before, because I've caught a glimpse of this emerging picture of reality. And you can believe me when I tell you that it will be worth every bit of the work it will take us, and those who come after us, to get it right."
