Sara Shantelle Lim of Fantasy Desserts, you disgust me.
One review. One unfavorable review posted by a patron of your artsy fartsy, flash in the pan wannabe cafe is all it took to make you go 360 ballistic on her ass. You raged childishly, insinuated and proceeded to skewer her to the bone. If that isn't bad enough, you actually threatened her with legal action. Of all the bad habits floating around, you had to pick up the deplorable antics of our nincompoop leaders in government.
Just because you hail from a privileged background does not accord you the right to treat a fellow Singaporean shabbily. I can't even begin to imagine how frightened and isolated Miss Celena Ho must have felt during this entire episode, especially when she received your letter of demand. As far as bad PR is concerned, you have certainly written yourself into history books celebrating the worst of the worst. My heartiest congratulations.

30 reasons not to work at ACP Computer Training & Consultancy
I have been working at ACP Computer Training & Consultancy full-time (for more than a year).
Companies like this give foreigners a big incentive to begin their careers in Singapore because they typically hire them for lesser salary amounts. But here are 30 reasons why you should not join them:
1. Everything is messed up. No working plans. Everything depends on MD. He plans and involves folks in projects on a whim, and has no qualms changing existing plans at the very last minute. They begun operations as a computer repair shop and as such they do not possess basic software development knowledge.
2. Stupid management – they do not know IT & management.

Consumer watchdog puts beauty chain on alert list after complaints; one customer allegedly charged S$370,000
SINGAPORE: Singapore's consumer watchdog on Wednesday (Oct 15) warned the public about a beauty chain after receiving dozens of complaints, including one case in which a customer was allegedly charged at least S$370,000 (US$286,000) for products and packages.
Between Aug 1, 2024, and Oct 14 this year, CASE received 53 complaints against DNA Brands Co, which operates beauty salons under the Beautique brand and retail stores under The Mineral Boutique brand, among others.
Most consumers said they were misled or pressured by sales assistants into purchasing excessive packages or products, involving a total amount of more than S$980,000, said CASE in a news release.
In half of the complaints, over S$10,000 was spent on packages and products. At least 40 per cent of the complainants were 60 years old and above.
Complaints against the Beautique brand involve its outlets in Ang Mo Kio, Orchard Plaza, The Centrepoint and Toa Payoh while those against The Mineral Boutique brand involve its outlets in NEX, Jewel and Wheelock Place, said CASE.
"CASE invited the company to sign a Voluntary Compliance Agreement to stop the unfair trade practices, but it declined," said CASE president Melvin Yong.
"CASE has referred the matter to the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore for investigation under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act."
"Unfair practices remain a persistent problem in the beauty industry."
Consumers are strongly advised to exercise caution when approached with high-pressure sales tactics, especially for big-ticket items such as beauty and wellness packages, said CASE.
It added that consumers should take time to carefully consider the offer, compare prices with other retailers, and seek a second opinion where possible.
CASE also encouraged consumers to ask for clear written information on the products and services being offered, including their purpose, pricing, and validity period. Consumers should also request and keep receipts and documentation of all transactions.
CASE also advised consumers to patronise CaseTrust-accredited beauty, spa and wellness businesses, which offer a five-day cooling-off period. During this time, consumers may obtain a refund for unutilised services if they decide not to proceed with their packages.
CaseTrust-accredited businesses are also committed to maintaining a stress-free treatment environment, with a strict “no selling” policy during treatments.
"At the same time, we continue to call on the government to introduce a mandatory cooling-off period for prepaid beauty packages, so that consumers have recourse when faced with unfair practices," said Mr Yong.
