So I spent one hour with the call centre, waited two hours for someone from Singapore to call. My parcel was found six hours later, and delivered three hours later. I would have delivered the item by myself and it wouldn't have take the entire day, not to say three days. No more Singpost Speedpost!!

A netizen shared this well written note about being Indian-Pakistani while growing up "Malay" in Singapore.

Nowadays all government hospital like flooded with foreign doctors. Pinoy, Myanmar, PRC and even Hongkie, you name it they have it.

I've been working in this company for 2 years & in my mid forties with 20+ years working experiences. Just last week, I found myself having to "justify my worth" to my company after they hired a young Indian (exact same designation as myself with 3 years working experience in India & never work in SG)

A netizen has shared experience of catching several Bangladeshi or Indian workers taking photographs of women at Sentosa beach without their permission, an act that she feels is a danger to these women's safety.

A man in India reported a pigeon to the authorities as he suspected that it could be a spy from China. He caught the pigeon after finding a label on its feet with Chinese numbers and characters. He suspected that the pigeon might have been sent by the Chinese as a form of surveillance and said it could be carrying a camera along with it. Investigators in India did not find any camera attached to the bird but are serious about investigating the matter further.

A 32 year old man in India was arrested by the police after faking a terror plot in order to avoid going on a holiday with his online girlfriend. Motaparthi Vamshi Krishna's girlfriend had asked him to take her on a trip even though he did not have enough money. He did not want to reject her so he came up with a plan to send her a fake air ticket and make the airport cancel the flight. His way of doing this was to send a hoax email to the police about hijacking planes in various Indian cities. His fake tip off resulted in tighter security at airports in Hyderabad, Chennai and Mumbai but no flights were cancelled. Krishna was arrested for charges such as impersonation and providing false information. He is a travel agent who is already married with a child. Wah, so romantic. Got so desperate not?

The Nanyang Technological University (NTU) has sacked Professor Ravi Kambadur, the lead researcher of the university's myostatin research group, and revoked a doctorate awarded to a student for allegedly falsifying data in their research.

I refer to the article “Review of India-S’pore economic pact not on hold: Delhi” (Straits Times, Apr 6). It states that “India’s Commerce Ministry says it is in discussion with Singapore on providing visas for its IT professionals but denies that the issue has led to the Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (Ceca) being put on hold.

The CECA trade pact has caused many neighbourhoods in Singapore to experience an explosion of Indian nationals like never seen before. I am comfortable with having only the Indian professionals involved settle and work in Singapore, but why is the Singapore government allowing the families and extended families of these Indian nationals settle in Singapore as well?
