I have about 5 years of experience in tech. My current annual is about 130,000. New company offering 112,000. Paycut is about 17,000 per year. Better WLB, good medical benefits and general benefits. Current company is very unhealthy despite high pay. Higher than median for my job rank and title. Should I do it.

What are some cool coffee shops, bars, pubs or places in Singapore that you genuinely felt surprised that you had never been there until you stumbled upon it... bored and want to explore something new.

I’m really lost and don’t know who to turn to, so I hope someone here can advise. Earlier this year, I started using Carousell to sell some items. Around May, my Carousell account got suddenly suspended and, out of nowhere, my bank account was frozen by the police — no investigation, no explanation. I called my bank, and they directed me to the scam department. They assigned me an investigation officer. Later, I was told the freeze happened because the previous owner of my phone number was allegedly involved in a Carousell scam back in 2022. I only inherited this number in 2023. The worst part was OCBC was my main bank, and when my account got frozen, I had no access to money at all. I had to borrow money from my employer and parents to get by. The officer eventually said the case was “closed,” but since then OCBC sent me a letter saying they do not want me as their customer & will be shutting down my savings account and all credit cards. Thankfully I managed to quickly open an account with UOB to receive my salary, but when I tried applying for a new credit card there, I was rejected due to my damaged credit score. I tried applying with other banks, such as DBS, etc, and all was rejected for the same reason. Because of the freeze, my insurance and credit card payments were delayed, which led to late fees that weren’t waived. I had to bear all the costs. The most upsetting part? The investigation officer has since ghosted me, and I’ve been left helpless. Even though they said the case was “closed,” it feels like a permanent stain is left on my name, ruining my financial record. So my question is — should I file another police report to officially clear my name? Has anyone been through something like this? I really don’t know what else to do, and it’s been so stressful.

As per title. It surprises me for a nation that prides in being so efficient and technology advanced, we are lacking Malaysia on this front. KSL/Southkey and most of carpark that I have gone to in malaysia, they accept credit card. Meanwhile after implementing sg parking app which supports credit card, actual gantry ones still make you go top up (which supports credit card) then go pay with cashcard. Any idea why?

Im in my early twenties, that weird awkward stage whereby I graduated and I’m starting out my career, building something for myself. But whenever i go out on dates with other guys they get so shocked like wow you’re only starting out your job? And mind you they are also in their early twenties. I feel like im in a rat race while dating, to see who’s more accomplished lol. They are so much more interested in my job, how much i earn, what my family does etc nothing is about us. I dont know if it’s just me thats going through this but it is absolutely draining when all they want to know is what i can bring to the table. And after all this even if it goes ‘well’ nothing is exclusive, just see how things go, play it by ear. Convo dies down. I’ve never been in such situations before like previously in uni it felt more relaxed, you have that intuition that you both like each other and mutually take things to the next level. But in this working-dating world is god awful i cant tell who is genuine and who isn’t.

F&b shops are closing left right centre. Heritage hawker stalls cannot stand the increasing rent plus cost of living because kopitiams are being flipped like the beo crescent curry rice one. Rent is increasingly ridiculous. Everybody pocket hurting. Solutions are simple and relatively painless for us. But painful for those landlords and operators. 1. Eat hawker food in hawker centre. Especially from the older hawkers. Or cook and eat in. It's cheaper and healthier than those in food courts or kopitiams. If you must buy from them, tabao. Because the owners mostly run the drinks stall and very profitable. Make these scalping koptiam landlords suffer. Do not patronise the f&b outlets. Especially overseas ones like from China. Those are the ones increasing the rent prices because deep pockets and SG as test market for regional expansion. 2. Buy online and overseas. I think a lot are doing it already. There is actually no motivation to need to buy anything from shopping malls. Make the reits suffer. If no business they need to lower rent. Or buy from HDB mom & pop shops. 3. Be more aware. Rent is THE primary cause for the escalation of prices here. Inflation, high wages are partially an effect of that too. The govt do not want to confront it because they and their cronies are the primary beneficiary of it. TLDR: Spend your money anywhere except in shopping malls and kopitiams. In a capitalistic society like ours, the way to fight back against rent is to deprive them of revenue sources. Support hawkers in hawker centers or cook and eat in. Buy online and overseas plus local mum pop shops.
