Terrible Experience With Soon Tien Driving School, Instructor Punched Student's Thigh, Disappears During Lesson

Submitted by farhan on

I got paired to a driving instructor through SgInstructors. He is an old man who apparently doesn’t bother much about what u do during your lessons as most of the time, he was talking on his phone with his girlfriend .During the first lesson he punched my thigh multiple times as I released the clutch too early and the engine died. He said and I quote in mandarin, “死人脚，每次不听话，不听话”，which is loosely translated as “stupid leg, always does not listen to command”.

Students of Beauty Paws International Allegedly Get Victimised

I would like to bring to your attention about this dog grooming school called Beauty Paws. The instructor has very bad conduct himself and also insults, threatens students with his ill mannered behaviour. They're way too many incidents that took place to perhaps all of his students who are victims. I hereby hope that no other people will fall victim to this illegal grooming institute.

Makansutra's KF Seetoh Criticises Manpower Policy For Offering Blue Collared Jobs Locals Shun Or Cannot Do

The Straits Times recently ran an article "About 5,400 jobs on offer in food sector despite pandemic". However KF Seetoh, Singapore top chef and founder of Makansutra, felt that the appropriate title should have been "5.4k jobs on offer in Food sector that nobody is hard up for, since April". While KF Seetoh supports the creation of jobs, he shed light on how these job offers for blue collared work in the F&B industry involve basic cooking preparations and maintaining kitchen cleanliness. These offers would be a mismatch for Singaporeans who have been brought up to aspire for higher goals, or educated and trained in skills for another industry.

The SDP explained that PJ Thum was only exercising his rights as a citizen of Singapore to comment on the local political situation. SDP said the ELD was acting in a partisan manner, and hit back at the ELD by suggesting the department should look into the "numerous incidents regarding the PAP" where elections rules may have been breached.
