  1. I was enjoying the many relevant points raised, both for and against....only to read this.. "I'm laughing at this juvenile thread. I am locking this thread. " There was no flaming, no vulgarity, just a lot of earnest people trying to make their points heard. And over a topic that many people feel fervently about. So I don't really get what was juvenile about the thread. Could the mods please exercise some consideration. The power to censor and stop discussions should be used sparingly.
  2. go to the link for the pics ... personally I find the man's reaction totally unbelievable ... I don't believe in angels. S’porean locked up in inhumane conditions in KL after flying in with less than 6 months passport validity Summary: • The Singaporean man flew into KL with his friends for a gaming competition on June 8 and were expected to come back to Singapore on June 11. • However, he did not renew his passport which had about five months of validity left before it expired. • He was denied entry upon arriving at KLIA (KL International Airport ) on the June 8, at 3.15pm. • He was told he would be deported back to Singapore and he felt quite stupid about not renewing his passport beforehand and being a burden to his team. • He did not know what to do next and was told by immigration if he wanted to book a return ticket back himself or one could be booked for him. • He wanted the KL immigration to book his ticket for him, as he was feeling down and did not have enough cash. • The immigration officer then told the Singaporean man he would be denied entry into Malaysia for one month if he chose that option. • When he said he was okay with that, he was then told he might never come back to Malaysia again. • That was when he was taken to a cell the size of a four-room HDB flat to be locked up with 100 other people inside. • He was told to turn off his phone and take off his belt and put them in the storeroom and wait for his ticket, no questions asked. • The conditions in the cell were horrendous and reeked of foul odours from the lack of proper sanitation facilities. • There was not enough space, was filthy, gag-inducing and the people inside were piled up on top of one another. • There were apparently other tourists who were locked up in there, as well as supposed illegal immigrants. • There was a separate cell for women and children. • The Singaporean man was inside for 26 hours in total but it was barely tolerable. • He claimed he saw one of the cell mates being beaten up and choked by the Malaysian officers for asking questions. • He also said those with money could bribe their way out more easily. • Fortunately, the Singaporean man’s father contacted Singapore’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs after he stopped receiving messages from his son after a period of one day. • The Singapore immigration was shocked to hear of the man’s experience when he returned back and said Singapore’s lock-up had facilities such as beds. • The Singaporean man ended his note as a caution to other Singaporeans not to take chances and said his account is to shed light on what can actually take place overseas, outside the confines of Singapore’s predictable bureaucracy and standards. Reactions to his allegations and storyThe comments section of the Singaporean man’s Facebook post is a hotbed of accusations and counter-accusations, as well as people demanding for proof and poking holes in his story. One major contention is that his case appears to be more severe than normal given such a straightforward violation, as other individuals who travelled into Malaysia with less than six months passport validity only got turned back without much repercussions other than being inconvenienced. The condition of not being able to return to Malaysia ever again is considered very severe. The Singaporean man has repeatedly said in response to multiple comments that he is remorseful for his mistake and takes the blame for what happened in the first place, but he also wants to let others know how it is like overseas, away from the secure confines of Singapore’s jurisdiction and shedding light on how issues are handled. To satiate those who called for evidence to his claims, the Singaporean man provided a photo of the document that listed his transgression in Malaysia: The document said the reason he could not return to Malaysia is because he is a “prohibited immigrant”.
  3. Haizzzzzzz I locked myself out of the car.......wasted 2 hours and 2 hour worth of.diesel
  4. Hi, My car's left signal light stays on when I lock the doors with the remote key. I have to unlock and lock again to make the signal light turn off. This problem only happens intermittently. I am afraid if I forgot to make the signal light goes off, it will drain the battery. Anyone has any idea why this problem occurs? Rdgs.
  5. Interesting device... But think it's very anti social to use it. I would kpkb if I'm in the receiving end. If need the space then spend money to buy Biz class tickets!! http://travel.asiaone.com/article/news/one-mans-right-is-anothers-wrong 1. What is a Knee Defender? A nifty - or annoying, depending on how you see it - pocket-size device, Knee Defenders are basically sturdy plastic clips.Costing US$21.95 (S$27.41), they come in a set of two, and exist to protect the sacred ground that is an airline passenger's leg room.Opinion on the Knee Defender is varied - some, especially tall people, adore it, while others have taken to label it as plain rude. 2. Sounds interesting. How is it used? Preserving your leg room has never been easier.Users first extend the seat table in front of them, before proceeding to clip one Knee Defender onto each of the table's arms.The Knee Defender can then be slid up and down the table arm, effectively allowing the user to "control" how far the seat in front can recline.The closer the Knee Defender is to the seat in front, the less reclining leeway the seat will have.To top it off, the Knee Defender website even has a printable "Courtesy Card", which manufacturers suggest the user passing to the passenger sitting in front, to inform him or her about the upcoming failure of their seat's recline feature. 3. Why would I need such a device? Aside from the obvious comfort of having sufficient leg room, the space that a Knee Defender gives can be used to, according to the product's website, work on one's laptop or engage in anti-deep vein thrombosis (DVT) exercises.Don't miss these... Knee Defender a hit after in-flight spatFlight diverted because of quarrel over legroom DVT, also known as Economy Class Syndrome, is a medical condition whereby a potentially dangerous blood clot develops in a person, as a result of limited space or movement.Of course, whether or not the Knee Defender is the best solution to these problems is another contentious topic 4. Who invented it? Ira Goldman, a 1.93m tall Washington DC resident who wanted to help fellow tall airline passengers deal with the problem of being "bashed in the knees over and over again". He first marketed the product in 2003. 5. What are airlines' policies over its use? News reports regarding the Knee Defender stem mostly from the US, although its manufacturer's website claims to have purchases from the "7 continents". According to an article in the BBC, the US Federal Aviation Administration has yet to ban the gadget, although most major US airlines, such as United Airlines, have. 6. Where can I buy one? Do you think the Knee Defender is for you? Are you ready to accept the death stares or scowls of disapproval that might result from your using it?
  6. Hi, Anyone knows how to bypass the Pin Locked function on the Garmin GPS. My youngest son has recently put a PIN and do not know what was the number he has put in. Thank you
  7. How on earth their child could be locked inside a car? Could it be they left their son who might be sleeping inside and went for makan session in Jalan Kayu? Or they left him temporarily inside the car to pack stuff inside the boot and the toddler then accidentally locked himself or what? Really puzzling... In any case, it was a big relieve that no harm was done to the kid. Given the sizzling weather we are having lately, it is unimaginable for a child to be trapped in a car under a open-air car park... From ST Forum: http://www.straitstimes.com/STForum/Story/...ory_767409.html Locked in car 'My wife and I thank the people who stayed on to help.' MR LAWRENCE QUEK: 'On Feb 4, after dinner, my 19-month-old son accidentally locked himself in the car, with key inside, at the Jalan Kayu open carpark. While my wife and I tried to distract him so that he would not hurt himself, a few people came by and stayed with us to ensure that our son was safe. We eventually had to break the car window and retrieve the key. My wife and I thank the people who stayed on to help us.'

  10. Last night when I was returning home, notice a toyota car door was left ajar with lights on. After I finish parking another 2 lvl up and walk down, I still see the car door left ajar. Seeing noone around the car or lvl. I did what a good citizen should do. Call police to inform them on this incident. Let the police come and check and contact the blur owner. Hope that the owner of the toyota car was not wipe clean of his valuables in the car... For Bros out there, if you encounter such sitituation same as well. Would you do the same of calling the cops or ignore or just help to close the door and walk off?

  12. Was casually flipping the papers until I reached the forum page this morning. Normally I would just give the titles a cursory glance to see if there are any worth reading & today one of them seemed to warrant some attention as the title sugggested concerns on kindergarten food, which my 3-year old relies on daily in his childcare. Nearly choked on my food when the portion highlighted in blue popped up: http://www.straitstimes.com/STForum/Online...ory_630377.html Kindergarten food concern I AM a parent of a child studying at Radin Mas PAP Community Foundation kindergarten. I thought schools in Singapore are trying to promote healthy eating, but my child's school serves mostly biscuits during snack time. And each child is given about six pieces each time. Given the duration of four hours in school, how filling can the six biscuits be? If it is not biscuits, it would be a hotdog bun. Occasionally, they are given cake. A few parents checked with the teachers and the answer they were given was that the general election (GE) was coming. The room with a pantry and a stove has been locked up for some time because of the GE, so they have not been able to cook macaroni, which is what the pupils got to eat at least once a week before. I hope the relevant authorities will look into the healthy eating habits of pupils. Cecilia Teo (Ms) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Was most certainly sure someone of authority would stoutly deny the above claims later. Just interesting to know that the GE fever seems to be spreading but our country's top honcho is still keeping mum. Even kindergartens also not spared & getting involved in the frenzy....
