There is a rumour going around online at the moment regarding the passing of former Cabinet minister Chua Sian Chin, who died of heart failure on Wednesday night at the age of 81. Coconuts Singapore, a news-fortainment site, picked up on it and incorrectly reported that the deceased, Chua Sian Chin, is the father of Singtel CEO Chua Sock Koong.

SingTel have made a clear statement on their Facebook post to clarify about the whole charging for Whatsapp usage saga. My post is in no-sense to attack SingTel or its services, but to seek clarifications and the truth behind this. The ‘Whatsapp Pass’ is a value-added service aimed at providing a manageable data usage plan for heavy Whatsapp users on SingTel’s Post-paying subscription with limited or no-data plans at all.

We called SingTel in hope that they would mail us our proof of purchase receipt. Their reply was 'As this is a new problem and case, thus you will have to check with the Apple service counter to solve the problem". They also said that if we wanted the proof of purchase, they will have it mail to us and it takes around three to five days. We asked for them to email the receipt to us as my dad needs the phone for work.
