A contributor sent in a video showing a flooded carpark at Joo Seng today. According to our contributor, the Joo Seng area has allegedly faced ponding for years. It is puzzling why this area still gets ponding despite these feedback. Perhaps the Member of Parliament (MP) Professor Fatimah Lateef can shed light on this issue when she goes on her next walkabout. Surely her residents deserve an explanation.

A local undergraduate complained about not being able to understand what PRC professors are teaching. As a result, the netizen felt ripped off for paying so much tuition fees and yet failing to understand lectures.

A professor was injured after a package exploded in his office at Yonsei university in Korea. The architecture professor found a package hanging on his door which suddenly exploded when he was opening it. He suffered burns on his neck, chest and hands and is being treated at the hospital. Nobody else was injured from the incident. The explosive was reportedly clumsily made as it only exploded from one side of the package. Korean news reports said the police are investigating and do not rule out the possibility of a terror attack.

A professor at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) pleaded guilty to shoplifting yesterday after he was caught stealing repeatedly from service stations he frequents. The professor, 55 year old Er Meng Joo, shoplifted items worth $453.35 between Jan 9 and 29, last year. He is a professor in electrical and electronic engineering, and had won multiple awards at the university. The professor stole items such as air fresheners and toiletries from two NTUC FairPrice outlets at Esso service stations at Bukit Timah and Dunearn roads. Just what drove a top award winning professor, who probably earns more than enough to actually pay for his stolen items, to go around and shoplift? Too stressed until he suffers from a mental breakdown?

This is the mad PRC professor who held our taxi driver hostage after tipping him $1. He demanded the taxi driver step out of his vehicle to show respect. Why is Singapore paying top dollar to invite such lunatics to teach in Singapore? Foreign talent gone wrong?

A 32 year old Russian Singapore Management University Juris Doctorate student unlawfully deleted his and 18 other student's exam scripts when he realised he would fare badly in the exams. Georgy Kotsaga believed that by deleting the scripts, he would get to retake the examinations. Fortunately, SMU's IT systems made real time back ups for all examination scripts and everything was recovered. Worried that his GPA would fall below 3.0, Kotsaga bought a USB keylogger from Sim Lim Square and planted it on desktop computers in the professors' respective classrooms.

I am writing this note to you, my students who are graduating this year, as a final warning -- in case some of your also subscribe to this grand notion that there's more to life than work. Actually, it is indeed true that there is more to life than work. However, if you should step out into the working world thinking seeking this thing called work-life balance then I fear you might be setting yourself up for a perilous future.
