Since Juandi knew how Shell's internal systems work they could avoid some of the detection. While the rest they cover up with bribing the surveyors within Singapore's Shell.\nBut since the oil was missing in large quantities, Shell began figuring out something was suspicious starting in 2015...\nShell actually tried using experts from other offices with several investigations, but nothing came up (because of the surveyors) for a few years until they decided to use a global multidisciplinary team of Shell analysts to monitor tank movements. And so the unauthorized transfers were finally revealed.\nIt was in 1 August 2017 that Shell made a police report.\nJuandi heard about the investigation and resigned in December 2017 but he was still collecting the oil and selling it which lead to his arrest on 7 January 2018, as he was caught red-handed.\n______\nMannn I could keep talking about the weird Singapore businesses in 3rd world countries employing both child and slave labor for fracking, which in turn flooded their lands with salt water...making them unable to farm on those lands.\nAlso you might want to try checking about the different Singapore maps throughout the decades because they have been stealing sand (terrible environment stuff) to add onto Singapore.", "This is very interesting, do you mind sharing the source for child/slave labour for fracking?

It is commonly thought that the cost of living in Singapore is very high, but it is really the other way round. Even in Singapore as a student and a young working adult, I found that it is easier to save money in Singapore. The most expensive things in Singapore are housing and cars. Of course in Malaysia, most Malaysians get to live in landed property, and drive up the driveway, press the autogate remote control and park right next to the front door so that you literally walk 3 steps into the house, sheltered from the rain.\nBut if you earn and spend in SGD, I think the daily necessities are indeed more affordable than if you earn and spend MYR.\nFor instance, 1 litre of Dove body wash can be bought for just under SGD5 in Singapore (I buy mine from this chain called Venus which sells toiletries), versus MYR19 which I just checked on Shopee Malaysia. How much would a Malaysian need to earn to keep spending MYR19 for a simple bottle of body wash?!\nJust the other day, I had dinner with my mum at Dome in JB. Just two of us and the cost came up to almost RM140. We are not talking about fine dining, mind you. This was just a regular meal (some salmon with rice, pastry with soup, etc.) at a Dome outlet at a JB hospital after our medical appointment, not even a special occasion. How much would a Malaysian have to earn to keep spending MYR140 for a simple meal for two?! In Singapore, an equivalent meal at Dome would not cost more than SGD60. If I earn SGD, spending SGD60 for a two-pax dinner is not cheap, but still quite affordable.\nThe cost of living in Malaysia is really quite shocking for the average Malaysian. Part of the reason for this is the continuously depreciating MYR, making everything imported, and even those locally made, more expensive. Some statistics:\nJust looking at the USD/MYR trend:\nOn 2 Sep 1997: USD1 = MYR2.9415\nOn 1 Sep 2023: USD1 = MYR4.641\nA depreciation of 58% in 26 years.\nSource: Bank Negara Malaysia data\nThe slide is even worse compared to our neighbours. The MYR has depreciated 67% against the SGD, and 62% against the THB over the same 26-year period.\nIt would be interesting to compare the inflation rate (CPI) between Malaysia and Singapore excluding housing and cars. If someone has the analysis, please share.", "I agree.

You don\u2019t litter or vandalize for sports.

Private everything, overtime work, stronger emphasis on health, safety and education so Malaysians can somewhat experience a mini Singapore life in a way.\nAnd I echo one of the comments above, people are warmer in Malaysia as there is less focus on success but more so on relationships and culture building.

Condos that used to be 2.4k sgd now go for 4k.\nI think your answers about economy also depends on what sort of role you fit into SG. in SG, there is pretty much a two-tier economy.

This is only my view \ud83d\ude0a\nFor finance: big ticket items are more affordable in Malaysia, but daily necessities are probably a huge expense given local wages\nFor nightlife: both kind of suck \ud83d\ude05 SG is because of all the strict regulations around it that means nightlife venues are usually managed by large operators with a very bland/safe offering (or the underworld stuff, pick your poison); Malaysia its because a large % of the population is muslim so the offering is quite limited relative to the size of the cities/country (and not much cheaper than in more fun countries)\nFor culture: Singapore is a weekend trip. Malaysia has more to offer, although not THAT much more: there are only like 2-3 old(ish) cities in the whose country, since the Malays traditionally did not build cities, and what there is could use some freshening up.\nFor nature: hands down, Malaysia has Singapore beat, it's not even a fair contest. They have hills, mountains, jungles, beaches. I will say though: Langkawi nature is not being protected adequately, and many beaches are not cleaned in Malaysia. People keep throwing trash everywhere! This doesn't seem to happen as much in Thailand or Vietnam \ud83e\udd14 still, better than a beach with a view of an oil refinery in Singapore \ud83d\ude05 and some of the beaches in Malaysia (not the ones close to an airport) are absolutely fantastic.\nFor convenience: Singapore is better for walking/admin/legal system/business. Malaysia is better for getting a cheap grab, and going off into nature.\nAt the end of the day, I think Singapore is better if you want to make something of yourself, and Malaysia is better if you're already 1st world rich. I think a lot of the nature/nightlife/culture issues with both countries can be solved by travelling abroad for short trips, and its easier to do that of you're working in Singapore. But I still plan to learn Bahasa \ud83d\ude0a And who knows what Malaysia will look like in 10 years!", "Very nice comment, I tend to agree with most of what you said.\nI'm someone from Indonesia, have lived and worked in Singapore for several years and one of your remark is true; if you are someone who have generational wealth, living in places like Malaysia and Indonesia is a breeze. This is a very important point that many people tend to miss out, especially when they've never really lived in Singapore for quite sometime and see how life is from the inside.\nLife for the less fortunate on the other hand, is quite difficult in those places because of lack of good public education (without breaking the bank), poor infrastructure (requiring one to afford cars or motorbikes to commute), relatively low wages for the same type of work, corrupt law enforcers, corrupt justice system, corrupt government who don't manage facilities properly, etc among many other reasons. Singaporeans often do not realize how lucky they're having it this way because of lack of perspective how bad things are outside SG when everything is concerned.\nAlso, climbing up the corporate ladder is almost impossible without the right connection because meritocracy in Indonesia/Malaysia is still rather foreign concept. Most of the institutions both public and private tend to resort to mix of cronyism and nepotism while picking candidates and deciding who gets promotion.\nIn Singapore, while some of these issues do exist, you can technically still work your way up by pure hard work and ingenuity. In Singapore, people see you as an individual whose worth is recognized by the quality of your craft and not by skin color or religion. The contrast is quite significant in neighboring Malaysia/Indonesia. Say, if you're not of indigenous ethnic or Muslim, there are some positions within the society that you simply cannot access, or have difficulty getting into because of your religion or skin color.\nTrue, Singapore is small and there's really not much to see beyond the small island. But this could easily be rectified by having overseas holiday to many of SG's neighbors, so you can enjoy the views and the beautiful nature without having to deal with all the things that made SG's neighbors a hell to live with. Strong currency of SG also definitely helps in opening up holiday options into other less developed nations.

During MCO, when malaysia closed our border SG gov had to ensure Malaysia will still send daily food needs to them.

CPF contribution and withdrawal, ERP and COE pricing. If you don't graduate from top schools like RI, Hwa Chong and etc but ITE (polytechnic) you will have tough time getting jobs.

A fresh graduate in Malaysia earns 3 to 4 k ringgit probably similar to a Singaporean fresh graduate. But wantan mee in Malaysia is easily 7ringgit, and in Singapore $5 is considered slightly expensive.\nIt is not true that in Singapore you need to be academically inclined only to earn a good living.

The fine was 400 million USD but Keppel already had a contract with Petrobas worth 2.1 billion USD.\nThe Hin Leong Scandal has decades of fraud, or the Shell oil corruption as Shell's Singapore branch officials were caught stealing oil for years and sold off to others. If they have consistent surprise checks from regulatory bodies, none of that thievery or bribery would happen in all those cases.\nI could also talk about how Singapore exploits Vietnam, Cambodia using child and adult slave labor in fracking operations to steal sand. And they flood Vietnam lands with sea water which were farm lands. You should know from your science class that it's impossible to farm under seawater. So if you check Singapore maps throughout the decades, you would find stark differences with today's Singapore's map.

I get the email with the receipt and the order ID, which I assume is what I have to show to the counter to renew My50.\nThen comes the renewing day. This was around 7.15AM and there's already a number of people on their morning commute. I queued on the counter behind two people who were also renewing but through the usual way.

While still on his phone, he took his iPad, logged in into a website, keyed in the order ID, scanned my IC. Whole thing took at least 20 minutes.

The user has been informed this has been moved here, so please do add your replies below -\n29 yo male - Not used to be fat and now stuck for 4 years in life. NEED HELP, Please\nI used to be fat in high school 110kg. Then Iater after college, I started working, Introduced to gym and healthy lifestyle. I walked to office everyday which is less than a km apart. Long story short, I lost weight and fat. 82kg with only 15% fat and I am 179cm I was more confident than ever.\nLater the pandemic struck and the gym is closed. I dont and cant enjoy working out at home because I dont have that rugged and heavy duty equipment at home which will cost me ten of thousands to set up at home. I gained tons of weight because I used to eat like a hog and compensated with having an active lifestyle. But just that now i am not physically active as I used to.\nI quit my job in early 2021 because I found business opportunities in COVID. I sell covid test kits, I manage doctors, I partnered with clinics and conducted a huge mass testing for factory workers and construction workers.\nI made more than half a million in less than 6 month and it was a fun experience since I am really into business and selling. I think I just found my path in life. But having huge amount of money in a short time made me shock and I dont really manage my money well. Later, I found that I only have 20k MYR (I am a Malaysian)\nI bought many Steam games. Eat out at pricey restaurant and bought many big boys toys. Drones, Camera stuff, and High end PC. Giving present to my mum and dad, paying food for my friends when we were hanging out. I was engrossed in gaming. Late night gaming, while eating crap food via Grabfood (like ubereat). I got distracted a lot and i neglected my business. Later the Covid receded and the world back to normal. I dont have any customer anymore. Yet, I still keep paying for the store rent to keep my business equipments. It was like that for almost 2 years,\nNow I am 126kg with 29% fat. I lost muscles and gained weight. I got back to my hometown somewhere in the east coast of Malaysia and stuck with my mum after my father's demise early 2023. I am having issues dealing with my fatness. I am not confident at all to deal with people other than my mother and people really close to me. I avoid reaching out my friends, families and I am afraid seeing other people. What more to look for job or start a business.\nI am afraid of being judged as fat and tell me what you will but all in my eyes is showing that people see fat people are obnoxious and seen negative by many. Always being the dumb character in the movies and pop culture and media. Thus, making me hating myself a lot. Now that I am fat, I cant enjoy anymore going to the gym as I am not comfortable with the surrounding inside the gym. I cant stand being stared or watched even for the slightest second. I am extremely sensitive and I got easily harmed when doing any extreme physical activity to improve my wellbeing.\nI dont know what to do and where to restart my life all over again. Dear readers, I have a burning question in my chest. What and how should I do to remove this negativity and self-hate in order for me to start progressing in life. What are the steps should be taken to be able to see the positivity in others and exclude my fat image from myself so that I dont become harmful whenever I have to deal with others.\np.s : I have 4 years of experience in Safety, Health and Environment (SHE), I have an aircraft maintenance engineering diploma.

Just concentrate on your day to day basis.\nDon\u2019t magnify spm, there are still so many other \u2018spm\u2019 when you get over this. Try your best and if you get good result, great. If not, so be it."], ["In my experience, SPM is way easier than the regular exams I've taken prior to it. I always got an E in maths, the teacher sucks whenever he taught my class with his sarcasm. But surprisingly I passed with a B+ in SPM.\nI was depressed too, I thought I was going nowhere after SPM so I just live life like a ride or die challenge. I did everything that I've never done before, going out, forced myself to socialise etc. It went well, I was no longer depressed because I told myself that I'm not gonna end my life without trying anything in life first. I knew my life would end someday, but before any of that happens I decided to go with whatever life throws at me. Everything goes well as of now and I'm having a lot of adventures. It'll get better, you just have to change your mindset and start to look around so you can appreciate the little things in life."], ["thanks for sharing. hope you learn from this."], ["SPM isn\u2019t important", "dont say it like that lol.

But life is more than just spm. Just do your best.\nI'm was a straight A spm student, UM graduate, worked in a bank but ended up losing my job (covid), then sell kuih during puasa, sell durian after that at side road, became coway agent and now doing sales as real estate agent.\nMy point is, even if you fail later at some point in life, as long as you did your best, its ok. Live and fight another day"], ["Tip from me, when I was going through my IGCSEs (SPM but Private School). I'd just focused on the process not the results. As long you've placed the time and effort into it, the results will come naturally.\nI used to be an D to F average for Math and Physics. Barely passing my Bio, Chem and English due to poor techniques. You will get there bro."]]}
