I thought they are different person as I've been in impression that this LYN member is older than me, till i read the "bubble tea business" portion in that article

That's Firefly, a fully-owned subsidiary of MAS.

1) They dont seem to operate a budget airline business model:- Inducing consumer spending via early birds price structure.
2) Route monopoly. This leads to (1).

Only in Asia where consumer rights are suppressed considerably. If this were to happen in Australia, they can prepare to answer to the competition commission.

hi. is there any accommodation exchange in backpackers hostel in sg? for example, i work for the hostel to do housekeeping job and get to stay there for free. got such thing in sg? so that i can save rental and look for job at the same time

Singapore, like in pretty much every other country, doesn't allow work on a tourist pass (which is what you would have). So no, legally there is no such thing as working for food/lodging.

another alternative is to stay in JB but get a Sg mobile phone number

Wasnt the cleaner an indian national?

If it was me who kena bang, I wonder if my insurance would pay out. I only got 'accident' insurance which pays a measly $3k if my death was not "accidental."


"The victim is Mr Chandra Mogan, who is a Malaysian."

^ the victim family most can get S$140k

I actually did a risk assessment for myself. As a salaried employee, 3 events would bankrupt me:-
i) Gamble
ii) Medical (family and myself)
iii) Siblings/Parents debt

The solution to the 1st is pretty straightforward. For medical, I insured my family and myself with Prudential. I remember paying a premium of S$180/month.

The 3rd item is unlikely to happen but is more of a generalization from the countless observation. It aint a perfect world anyway.

not only accidental, some require it to be violent, visible and external
after compare i notice insurance in SG is cheaper

Hi folks,
Do you know if taxi would be able to go from JB to Changi Airport direct? If do, anyone know of any taxi contact?

No. 2 wouldnt apply if you have a DNR order.

U might wanna try this?

I took up a few policies when I first started work as full time staff with $1k+ salary. I have low pay and young but if accident happen, I am sure my parent and siblings sure suffer as their investment on me have no return. I was taking high coverage since insurance was cheaper when I was young.

Once married, we quickly buy a property with whatever we had. SG provides relatively cheap housing insurance (100% of remaining loan if something bad happen on one of us). So that's our new insurance protection/investment as we don’t pay rent anymore.

Years later, I only up my insurance coverage a little after my agent keep pushing and it stay there. When Kids arrived, they got moderate medical insurance, other than that I will stop buying more insurance. If I have more money, I will buy properties with 100% housing loan insurance (those reducing premium cost) as additional protection/investment.

Knowing how much an insurance agent earn make me think twice about buying "extra" insurance. You are better off to invest in other things.

In, SG. It is too expensive to sick/loss of income than to die. So some form of insurance is needed if you have dependant.


I wish a kind laywer in SG will help the Victim to fight for more justice from Taxi company insurance and the PRC.

Sadly, my guess is this PRC will not be hanged or life-time imprison based on his status, condition and how the taxi actually hit a few object first then "loss control" and hit the victim. At most a few years jail term then deport back to China and he can say :"Big Deal I killed a guy in SG and they provide me a few years "hotel" stay then fly me back to China on SQ for free!"

Both party are FT and the Singaporean Taxi drver did not suffer major injury... so not much incentive for the SG gov to feed this PRC for life in their world class changi "hotel" (The living condition in Changi Prison may be better than some poor village in other country, thus the "hotel"). With criminal record, this WP holder can't work anymore so deportation is the only options. I really hope I am wrong on this.

So, only a lawyer can help the victim family to get more compensation at this stage.

Best, a Malaysian Lawyer to step forward for Chandra.

hI every singapore guru. been in singapore for a week till today. im working in IBP. That day i heard all IBP'ians want to make a gathering. When n where?

For folks interested in a finance career in Singapore. The article below mainly compares Big4 vs MNCs. From the MNC salary data, they should be global MNCs instead of the regional ones. The fake MNCs need not apply (ie. operating significantly only in 2 or 3 closely linked countries).

Having said that, the Big4 partner salaries look a bit low. Maybe it doesn't include profit sharing. But on the other hand, the corporate salaries won't include stock options and other stock incentives.
