TR EMERITUS

I got conned on friday(26/02/10) by this lady selling an LG TV from Starhub. Did a deposit of $200 to her and she claimed that she didn't receive the internet transfer and told me she wasn't gonna sell the TV to me EVEN AFTER I HAD ALREADY MADE THE DEPOSIT. Now she's demanding from me to pay up another $300 to get the TV when we actually agreed on a price of $480. She refuses to give me my money back and she even used racist terms towards me. Her name's Ismay Teo, claiming that she lives in Holland V. Her handphone number's 93220557. She was assisted by someone here in the forums to advertise the TV. The bitch apparently told this person that I had agreed with her to a Samsung TV not an LG one as she had already sold it to Cash Converters. Now she's telling me that the LG TV is with her and that this other "person" is lying to me. I cannot say at this moment who this person is , but if you're dealing with anyone by this name and number you can forget about getting your product. Beware people. Latest Updates: I got a call from this lunatic today morning at 7am and she agreed to transfer the money. She has already given me the $200 she took from me, but nothing more. After 7 whole months she's finally started using her head. She has informed me to remove the post (on HWZ), and she's been very aggressive about it. She has also threatened to make a report to the police. I am however leaving this post here because I feel that it's only right people know who I dealt with and how the situation got out of control by this lunatic of a person. It's also to "compensate" for the shit she's put me through. Like I mentioned, if you're reading this Ismay Teo(that is, if you can read), you should never have f****d with me. It's my time now. Thanks to all those who kept bumping this post to keep people informed. Do remind people about this, and beware of her. And yes, she's the lady in the blog posted here by sunkissed_cooper, so take a good look at her. Cheers fellas.   Ah Beng   Links http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/showthread.php?t=2912366 http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/showthread.php?p=48737957  Read More →

In an article titled "That 6.5 million population figure” published yesterday in the Straits Times, ST journalist Rachel Lin tried to argue on the behalf of National Development Minister Mah Bow Tan that the figure is not a "target", but a "planning parameter" to guide future development plans. "This assertion, however, has to be put in perspective. Mr Mah had stressed that the 6.5 million number is not a target that the Government feels Singapore’s population should reach. Instead, he characterised it as a ‘planning parameter’ – to guide future development blueprints in the URA’s Concept Plan," she wrote. [Source: Straits Times] However, this was not what Mr Mah wrote in an article published in the April issue of the PAP's official mouthpiece PETIR:   [Source: pap.org.sg] Not only was the word "planning parameter" not mentioned anywhere in the article by Mr Mah, he indicated clearly in it that 6.5 million people is the population target of the PAP regime. "Ever since I first mentioned that we are planning for a population of 6.5 million people, many Singaporeans have reacted with concern, some with alarm, at the thought of more people living and working in Singapore.....Do we need a larger population? Most definitely. To grow and create more and better jobs, Singapore must remain open, competitive and relevant to the global market place," Mr Mah wrote. Mr Mah went on to explain why Singapore need more immigrants: "In such an economy, we need sufficient people with the right skills and experience. If we cannot get enough from our own people, we must supplement with skilled immigrants. A larger population and greater economic activity will bring about greater buzz, vibrancy and energy, which in turn will attract more people 
and new opportunities." He also stated clearly that he has no doubts that we will have enough land to meet the needs of a 6.5 million population if we start planning now (back then in 2007): "A recent review of our long-term land use and transportation plan concluded that we have enough land to cater to a population of 6.5 million, if we are creative and careful in using our limited land, if we plan for such growth now and if we invest in the necessary infrastructure." Mr Mah ended his letter on a optimistic note and reiterating his determination to make the population target of 6.5 million people become a reality. "But plans are only as good as the paper they are written on – unless they can be made to happen. So long as we have a leadership that has the foresight to anticipate challenges, the determination and the political will to address them, and the ability to bring our people along to tackle these challenges together; and so long as we have a people that is willing to work hard, and work with one another, and with their leaders, we can together create a truly global city, which we can call home." Anybody who pass his/her "O" level English should have no problems comprehending the gist of Mr Mah's article. It is strange that Ms Rachel Lin has not only distorted Mr Mah's message, but has misrepresented him beyond recognition. Did Ms Rachel Lin seek clarifications with Mr Mah before the article was published or did Mr Mah gave her instructions to write her article as such? Either way, it did not reflect very well on the intellectual honesty of both Ms Rachel Lin and the Straits Times. As for Mr Mah, it is befuddling that he did not build more HDB flats between the years 2006 - 2008 to meet the expected increased demand fueled by mass immigration though he appeared pretty confident his "leadership" has the "foresight" to anticipate "challenges" ahead.   Related articles: >> PAP responds to Dr Chee on 6.5million population target   Please join our Facebook discussion on this article here and invite your friends to do so as well to raise awareness among fellow Singaporeans.  Read More →

I went down to the Toa Payoh NPC on 9 Sept 2010 at about 1455hrs to make a police report on the incident happened at Jalan Besar stadium on 7 Sept 2010 between Young Lions and Beijing GuoAn. However, the police officer Sgt Eugene Nien and his superior (SSG/SI Tok Bak something, confirmed SSG Eugene’s earlier comment to me is correct) told me that my police report is not required. (1.) I’m not the involved party such as victim, FAS official or victim’s family member; (2.) No police report is required because there are players injured and sent to the hospital hence the SPF will ‘automatically’ investigate the incident. They logged in my particular for recording purposes. I thank the polite and knowledgeable officers and told them I shall wait patiently to read more in the newspapers.   Tony Tan Keng Hong   Editor's note: Sports injury do not automatically "guarantee" an investigation unless the police choose to classify it as an assault. At most it will be referred to the FAS who in turn "may"   ask for a police intervention but highly unlikely.  Read More →
