Ong was appealing on the grounds that the bribes were actually loans he had taken to repay the joint account that he shared with his wife.

I am a taxi driver and would like to share what I heard when I sent 4 army boys to their camps on Sunday night. The boys were talking about how they can profit from Ed Sheeran tickets, one of them who went to queue claimed that he got 8 tickets and only needs 2, he is willing to sell the some of the remaining 6 tickets to the other friends and allow them to jack up the prices for profits. They started looking over the Internet for some cheaper tickets like maybe less than $1000 and prepare to sell them out again at $1500 so on and so forth. I am wondering, are these army boys so desperate for money? Why are they robbing others of their livelihood with their own greed or advantage? I am hoping for the authorities or ticketing agents to take actions avian at these scalpers. Please be careful Ed Sheeran fans.

Yet another case of a doctor doing illegal things. Dr Tan Gek Young was charged in court for selling more than 2,300 litres of cough syrup illegally to drug abusers.

Sometimes, it seems like greed is a more important consideration.

This letter to ST truly reflect the frustrations of users of the public health care system. It's not the private health care sector doctors are always better trained, skilled, even though quite often that's so, but it is the extremely long wait to see a specialist doctor in the public health care sector that is most frustrating and irritating.

Most people are aware of the goods and services tax (GST), which is a levy imposed by the government on items in malls and supermarkets. This neighbourhood coffeeshop began to charge its customers GST recently, much to the shock and anger of the resident customers there as they were made to pay more than they were used to.
