Avijit Das Patnaik looks baffled as he utters these words, as if he is still trying to make sense of what has happened in the five months since making headlines for sharing an image - created by someone else - on social media of a Singapore flag being ripped to reveal an Indian flag. “If you Google my name, there are more hits and searches against my name than against leading terrorists and scamsters,” the 45-year-old tells Channel NewsAsia. The consequences of sharing the image on a Facebook post in August last year have been devastating for the Singapore Permanent Resident, who is originally from India: He’s now jobless and he, along with his wife and two young children, will now likely have to leave the country that's been their home for the last ten years. Their HDB flat is now on the market, and all that is left is for it to be sold. The former vice-president at DBS has now been branded a “troublemaker" by some, he points out, but his fervent desire is clearly to explain how he is sensitive to being a foreigner living in a country he says he loves. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/ex-dbs-avijit-das-patnaik-ripped-singapore-indian-flag-interview-11152596 ****** I wish him well in India.

*shake head* From STOMP: http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/stomp/sg...why_are_we.html Malaysian hooligans deface S'pore flag: So, why are we rejoining Malaysia Cup? In what seems to be another unsporting reaction from Malaysian football fans following their national squad's elimination from the qualifying series of World Cup 2014, a group of them was photographed holding up a defaced Singapore flag, with the word 'Looser' sprayed on it. The Malaysian squad's hopes of making it to the World Cup were dashed after they were defeated by the Singapore Lions 5-3 in their first meeting, and drew 1-1 in the second leg of the World Cup qualifying match on Thursday night (Jul 28). A STOMPer had sent in this latest photo, showing the reaction of Malaysian fans after their defeat. "Look at these Malaysians," said the STOMPer. STOMPer Singapore Sling, who is also enraged by the photo of Malaysian fans defacing the Singapore flag, said: "Look at these idiots! They can't even spell 'loser' right! So who are the real losers? "And why are we still rejoining the Malaysia Cup, after all the unsporting behaviour that they have shown us?" Another STOMPer, Eddie, came across a page on Facebook which read in Malay: "Kelab Bola Sepak Singapura Banyak Belakon", which translates to "Singapore Football Club is full of play-acting". Said the STOMPer: "I personally feel that this is an act of sore losers. They don't even show sportsmanship after a match and even attempted to punch Singapore players during the match. "Now they are making a page and mocking Singaporeans?" During the match on Thursday, a Malaysian fan tried to blind Singapore's goalkeeper by pointing a green laser pointer at him. The Malaysian captain also made disparaging comments about the Lions prior to their second meeting, saying that they are "nothing without foreign players". Then in an article published in Malaysia's Sinar Harian, the Malaysians claimed that the Singapore players were play acting, and that they are worse than well-known 'divers' like Cristiano Ronaldo.

菲槍手棺蓋國旗 中國譴責 (明報)2010年8月27日 星期五 15:15 中國駐菲律賓 大使館發表聲明，強烈譴責馬尼拉 人質事件兇手的棺木，被蓋上菲律賓國旗。 中國駐菲大使館的聲明，譴責這名兇手的殘酷行為，並對此「令人惱怒」的行為表達「強烈憤慨」。 聲明說，只有英雄以及人格高尚者才有資格在辭世後覆旗，此舉玷污了菲律賓國旗。 菲律賓總統府和外交部表示，菲律賓贊同中國大使館的觀點。菲外交部稱，門多薩棺木蓋上國旗，不符合相關法例。而這是門多薩家人的私人行為。 根據當地電視台的畫面，門多薩的靈柩蓋上國旗，遺體並穿上警員制服，放了門多薩生前所獲的獎狀。 http://hk.news.yahoo.com/article/100827/4/jwx0.html why are they embracing the dead gunman with a national flag? omg..another wrong move...whats wrong w them?

From Straits Times interactive... Fly the flag or lose licence Proud citizens: Ipoh City Council staff waving the Jalur Gemilang during the launching of the National Day celebrations on Monday. -- PHOTO: THE STAR IPOH - ALL businesses in the city must fly the state flag on the Perak Ruler's birthday on April 19 and the national flag on Aug 31 if they want their licences renewed, said Ipoh Mayor Roshidi Hashim. He warned that those who failed to comply with the new ruling could also be issued compounded fines or be blacklisted. 'If the businesses don't fly the flags on both these days, they will be considered to have violated the new condition for their licences,' he told reporters after handing over the national flag to to Ipoh City Council's department heads here on Monday. Mr Roshidi said the ruling was part of the council's efforts to inculcate patriotism among city folk, particularly among the business community. He admitted that despite the launch of the Merdeka month celebrations by Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin on Aug 1, most premises in the city have yet to raise the national flag. Mr Roshidi said premises owners should take the initiative to buy their own flag and not wait for this to be distributed free to them. -- THE STAR/ANN What a way to make people show how they "LOVE" the country.......

http://www.asiaone.com/Motoring/News/Story...205-119761.html By Christopher Tan, Senioir Correspondent SMALLER taxi operators want taxi fares lowered amid the deepening economic slowdown that has already seen a number of cabbies giving up driving. Following last week's news that bus and train operators will lower fares, Mr Lim Chong Boo, managing director of Premier Taxis, suggests lowering the $2.80 flag-down fare during non-peak hours. Mr Johnny Harjantho, managing director of Smart Taxis, however, reckoned that peak-hour fares - where a 35 per cent surcharge applies - should also be reviewed. Peak hours are from 7am to 9.30am on weekdays and 5pm to 8pm from Mondays to Saturdays. "But it is difficult for a small company like us to move prices," Mr Harjantho said. "We have to wait for Comfort." ComfortDelGro, which has 15,000 of the 24,300 cabs in Singapore, was mum when approached. "We never comment on fares until we have an announcement to make," its spokesman said. The smaller players had other suggestions to lower costs for cabbies, including getting a tax disparity fixed. "Today, a two-litre diesel passenger car attracts far lower tax than a taxi of the same engine capacity," Premier's Mr Lim said of the $2,400 difference in taxes. "If the diesel tax can be lowered, we can pass the cost savings to our drivers." Another idea from Mr Neo Nam Heng, head of Prime Taxis, was to allow firms to use second-hand cars as taxis. Two years ago, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) allowed used car dealers to convert unsold stock to private hire vehicles. Mr Neo argued that the same principle could apply for taxis. Such vehicles will cost less to buy than brand new taxis. Cab operators could then charge cabbies lower rentals, which now range from $65 to $120 a day. In turn, fares can be lowered for passengers. According to the LTA, taxi ridership between July and November last year averaged 900,420 a day, 4.1 per cent lower than the same period in 2007. Fewer taxis are being rented out to drivers as well. Between July and November last year, unhired taxis averaged 1,377 a month, nearly 30 per cent more than the same period in 2007. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- see the enlarge fonts - seem that even though we have quite a no of taxi operators around to prevent monopoly of taxi trade... seems that the small fishes still must wait for the big fish to act first.. so much for free market!
