  2. Just want to share this youtube video...very interesting way of telling the Christmas story! Have a blessed Christmas!!
  3. recent hoo haa abt the toyota recall articles all over the newspaper.. it makes me ponder over the "BIG BIG" figures to make the news look damn "BIG" thing... so much disparity from the lastest figure given by LTA.. makes me wonder if the reporters are socially responsible for wat they have written, with Singaporean's kiasu nature, the "BIG BIG" figures probably would have cause some roaring problems with the ppl in automotive industry, endless query from concerned owners.... is all this necessary??? wat kind of moral values are our reporters, newspaper holding when they actually publish such articles to create a big stir... really makes one ponder.

  8. Why must CDC staff 'SHOUT' AT NEEDY CUSTOMERS? READER: Officers yell at residents looking for financial help SPOKESMAN: Staff may speak louder if crowded By Zubaidah Nazeer May 06, 2008 DEALING with difficult clients on a daily basis can get to them. ? Ms Amy Hafiz (far left) and Ms Halifah Parmo were appalled by service standards. TNP picture: KUA CHEE SIONG Never mind if these clients are the needy who are there to ask for help. Now, customer service officers at a social services centre have come under fire for allegedly raising their voices at those who approach them, and for exhibiting what appeared to be unprofessional behaviour. Residents who have been to a branch of the North West community development council (CDC) were observed to have been rudely served. One visitor who was there recently raised the issue to The New Paper. Ms Amy Hafiz, 39, a clerk, claimed that she saw two customer service officers at the CDC's Woodlands Civic Centre office shout at and speak roughly to other residents who were there to ask for help. And when The New Paper dropped in, we also observed how the officers sometimes spoke rather loudly, enough for others to hear. Ms Amy was there on the morning of 16 Apr to ask about the ComCare assistance plan for herself. She had called a helpline first, but was told to go to a CDC near her home to get more help. While waiting for her queue number to be called, Ms Amy claimed that she heard two officers passing unpleasant remarks about the people they were helping. When a middle-aged woman asked the officers why she had to return at 4pm even though she was already there that morning, one of the officers said curtly: 'You want help? Just be here.' Another officer told an elderly man, loud enough for Ms Amy to hear: 'Get your documents ready before coming.' Ms Amy said: 'After the people left, I could hear the officers talking about them... and (voicing) their frustrations. I believe they should be a bit more professional as service staff.' Ms Amy, who was there with her friend, both allegedly heard the officers complaining that the residents did not seem to listen to instructions. When Ms Amy's number was called, she was told to get some documents and to return at 4pm as well. But she stressed that the officers were not rude to her. When Ms Amy returned at 4pm, she witnessed the rudest scene yet. Another middle-aged resident had just opened the door to the office when one of the customer service officers shouted at the woman in a mix of Malay and English. The officer allegedly said: 'Why (sic) you come now? I told you to be here at 1pm right? Now, too late already.' Ms Amy said: 'I was puzzled by this attitude. Where was her professionalism as a customer service officer? Why can't she wait for the woman to arrive at the counter and then advise her patiently?' She saw the woman trying to explain herself for the so-called miscommunication but the officer allegedly shot back loudly: 'You can't understand me... not (sic) I give wrong information. The camera is on, you want me to play back?' Ms Amy's friend, Madam Halifah Parmo, 43, said: 'I thought of telling her that she should not be so rude and serve people that way. I thought what she did was just not right.' About 10 minutes later, a middle-aged man who had also witnessed the scene went in to see a case worker. Ms Amy said: 'I think he must have told the case worker about the commotion because the counter phone rang and I could hear the customer service officer trying to explain what happened earlier. 'I heard her saying, 'Ya lah, there's this man who can't get help from us (who) came to her rescue.' Ms Amy heard another two phone calls that the officer answered about the incident. Ms Amy said: 'I was totally appalled by her comments. Not only was her explanation distorted, but I wondered why she was at the counter at all if she wasn't patient in serving the ones who really need help? 'I also wondered if the camera was for real or was it just a threat?' The New Paper dropped in unannounced on 22 Apr and observed the goings-on for nearly three hours in the afternoon from a seat furthest from the officers. The office area was about the size of two HDB bedrooms, with seats for up to 15. Sometime around 3pm, after a few people had been served, one of the officers raised her voice to a middle-aged woman and said: 'When we send the letter then you come down. She's not in! You have to call first.' The woman did not seem to be frustrated, more at a loss. Then the officer motioned to her colleague and asked her if she could speak in Malay to the woman. About half an hour later, the same officer was heard shouting to a woman and an elderly man: 'Anything wrong, I don't know ah... (it will be sent to) this address... whatever (sic) outstanding is based on that.' When we asked the woman later whether the officers were rude, she said: 'Not always, sometimes.' At about 4.35pm, the same officer was heard trying to emphasise a point to a young man and his wife by saying: 'Concession. Stated here... CONCESSION. CONCESSION!' she yelled. When contacted, a North West CDC spokesman said that they are investigating the incidents. In an e-mail reply, the CDC's acting general manager, Ms Toh Lay Hoon, said officers are advised to be attentive to the needs of the clients. 'However, when there is a crowd at the service counter, counter service staff may have to speak a bit louder, especially to the elderly.' Ms Toh said that while most of the residents they serve were easier to handle, they have encountered those who were uncooperative in offering information and could also become abusive towards counter service staff. She added that the officers are given customer service training, and monthly service briefings are provided. Ms Toh added: 'Between July 2007 to March 2008, our counter service staff at the North West CDC received 632 'Go the Extra Mile for Service' Cards for great service provided to our residents.' All eight samples that were given belonged to another staff member not featured in this story. http://newpaper.asia1.com.sg/news/story/0,...,164009,00.html?

  9. 1. It seems like major cities in Europe, Paris, Netherland and etc are begining to ban SUVs from entering into cities. Some States in USA, car that is >3 tons are not allowed in cities' roads. This affects those big SUVs. 2. In Paris, the idea being that SUVs are incompatible with city life. They want to limit traffic to much smaller vehicles and provide more space for bike lanes and anything more environmentally correct. 3. In Netherland, a city counsel felt that SUV is merely serve as a status symbol for the owner. They are designed for off-road conditions, but they are not used as such. They consume a lot of fuel, pollute, clog up traffic and are hazardous for the other traffic as well as for the owners. Driving them is considered as antisocial behavior. Denying them parking spaces is the best way to prevent them driving around the city as they cannot be denied entry to the city at the moment. 4. What do you think, this trend will catch on in Singapore sooner or later? It seems like driving a car these days also have to shoulder some social responsibility. Regards,
