Hello, I'm a photographer from Malaysia, we are in group and have interest and fun of snapping photos.
most of the gardens and parks here don't need to use any permit, but most indoor will need to request a permission to shoot inside
I was at a back alley between Cecil St and Robinson Rd. The reason that the security guards gave us for wanting us to leave is they claimed that we are at a back door of a bank and they said that they will need to take down our particulars.:sweat:
clarke quay / boat quay / merchant sq is fine as well... just try to be early before shops/restaurant open...
not really, some places like shopping centres prohibit people from taking photos inside. Outdoors are usually fine, but when you are inside a building, you could be chased away by security and be asked to delete your photos.
TS, you could try places places of interests such as Chinese Gardens, Punggol Beach and even at the area outside the Esplanade.
avoid Esplanade as well, if the security guard saw few people with "high tech" camera + flash + light stand + beautiful model, they usually will ask for the permit.
Actually its ok to enter the esplanade with cameras and equipments. Its only when you start to take pictures within the building itself, the security officers will approach you. Shooting outside in the open is fine. If need be, just explain your intentions politely, after all they are just following instructions and doing their job. If they still insist that you can't shoot then be a gentlemen to apologize and pack up.
u can take pics in esplanade provided u don't use off camera flash ... i did one shoot there and the sec guard came and tell me that off camera flash is not allowed. but he say i am allowed to shoot w/o those. so it is still a nice gesture from them really.
I'm sure the same applies for Malaysia, or did you think Singapore everywhere also cannot photograph?
no. they allow u to use your on-camera flash, but if u want to do strobbist way, they want u to apply for permit.
but i must say they are already very very kind in this respect. other building will just ask u to go away, be it on or off camera flash, got flash , no flash ... they dun care, just get out and shoot else where..
nope you can't, if you look like a "Professional", even it's outside, as long as you're within Esplanade perimeter. They will ask you for the permit from the management.
camera only is fine, but once you pull out umbrella, light, etc, they will consider you as a "professional" which shoots for a commercial purpose, no matter what excuse you gave.
i guess if you act like tourist, or shooting 1-1, shouldn't be a problem , but if many photographers come & shoots few models, they usually will check for the permit.
I apologize for not being clear in my previous post, what i meant by equipment would just include a camera and simple setup like a tripod/monopod. Setting up umbrellas/softboxes and lights are way too elaborate to be not be considered "professional". In fact you'd expect to run into problems shooting within the perimeters of commercial/private areas almost EVERYTIME with this kind of setup if you don't have a permit.
Vitamin C or Ascorbic Acid is referred to as an essential micronutrient because it needs to be consumed from the diet as our bodies are unable to produce it. As an antioxidant it protects body cells from oxidative stress, which is damage caused by molecules known as free radicals. Oxidative stress is thought to play a role in the development of degenerative diseases and ageing.
It is important that we get a daily source of Vitamin C from the diet. The best way to do this is to consume a selection of the following foods:
It is recommended that adults (19-64 years) should consume 80mg of Vitamin C per day. Daily intake of Vitamin C is important as it cannot be stored by the body. This is because it is water soluble (dissolves in water) therefore any excess is just excreted in the urine.
Without Vitamin C the body isn’t able to make enough collagen which is the most abundant protein within the body, providing structure to many tissues including bones, skin and blood vessels. This condition is known as Scurvy and leads to muscle and joint pain, tiredness and the bleeding and swelling of gums. Although uncommon in the UK, Scurvy is still a potential risk among certain groups of the population including; those who smoke, the elderly and those on a low income.
For the majority of people the recommended intake level of 80mg (NRV) of Vitamin C is easy to meet through the diet alone and therefore supplementing low doses is unnecessary. Supplementing with higher doses of 1000mg-2000mg however is often used to provide further immune support particularly for athletes following strenuous bouts of exercise and has been suggested to help reduce the duration of the common cold.
With Vitamin C being water soluble, consuming too much isn’t going to cause much harm as the excess which isn’t required is just excreted in the urine. However large doses of Vitamin C may possibly lead to nausea, diarrhea and stomach cramps.

Note that we do not disclose Personal Information to MDFM. You may opt-out of having your Personal Information used for this purpose, by following the process set out in the next section.
We might also disclose Personal Information to other third party service providers if these organizations have contracted or partnered with us to help in the provision of products, services or do research. For example, we might utilize a software survey platform of a third party or we might out-source the mailing function for one of our publications. We may also engage a third party to provide advertising or promotional services on our behalf. Such initiatives could include direct mail or email communications (as permitted by law) or online or social media advertising.
In all cases, we take measures to ensure that Personal Information is managed appropriately and consistent with our policy, including requiring that any disclosed Personal Information be used solely for the purposes for which it was disclosed, be kept confidential, and be protected by appropriate security safeguards.
We may, in certain instances, contract with a third party service provider located in other countries. In such cases, your information may be processed and stored in other countries and the governments, courts or law enforcement or regulatory agencies may be able to obtain disclosure of your information under a lawful order made in that country. If you would like more information about the jurisdictions in which our service providers may operate please contact us as noted in the Addressing Your Concerns section of this Policy.

We will only disclose your Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy, unless we obtain your further consent.

We aim at all times to respect and honour your privacy and communication preferences. For instance, if you indicate to us that you do not wish to receive certain publications, participate in surveys or receive information about new or specific benefits and services such as communications from CMA or its subsidiaries, your preference will be noted and you will no longer receive correspondence from us on these issues. Our emails have an “unsubscribe” link, please use this to no longer receive information from us on certain topics. You may also contact the CMA Member Service Centre at 888 855 2555.

You need only provide us with reasonable notice in writing of your intention and the details of your objection. Our contact details are set out below.
Please note, however, that any such objection to the collection, use or disclosure of Personal Information may mean that we are unable to provide you with some or all of our products or services including CMA Member benefits. For example, if you object to the sharing of your CMA membership status with CMA’s subsidiaries, then you may not be eligible to benefit from components of their products or services.
It is your responsibility to contact us in order to determine how an objection to the collection, use and disclosure of Personal Information might affect the services supplied.
We make every reasonable effort to ensure the accuracy and currency of your Personal Information so that we might fulfill the purposes for which it was first collected. Please therefore advise us accordingly of any relevant changes so that we might better meet your needs.
In order to obtain a report on the Personal Information held about you by the CMA and/or Joule, you may send a written request to the attention of:
Within a reasonable time frame, the Chief Privacy Officer will then advise you in writing whether it has such Personal Information and the nature of this information unless there is the rare occurrence that the release of such information is legally prohibited. If we cannot release the Personal Information, we will provide you with the reasons for denying access.
You may challenge the accuracy and completeness of the Personal Information that is maintained by the CMA. The CMA will amend Personal Information when an individual successfully demonstrates inaccuracy or incompleteness.
We make every reasonable effort to protect your Personal Information by implementing security safeguards against loss or theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification. We use physical, organizational and technological measures as methods of protection. For instance, only a limited number of staff have access to sensitive information, such as credit card numbers. Moreover, we ensure that employees are aware of the importance of maintaining the confidentiality of Personal Information.
We keep Personal Information as long as it is needed to fulfill the purposes identified above. When Personal Information is no longer required to fulfill the identified purposes, it will be safely and securely destroyed. Moreover, we will retain Personal Information that is the subject of an access request for as long as is necessary to allow an individual to exhaust any legal remedy that is provided for in applicable federal or provincial/territorial legislation.
We may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time as our organization evolves, in response to legal developments, as new technologies become available, or as we introduce new features, products or services.
When we make changes to this Privacy Policy we will revise the “last updated” date at the top of the policy. You should check back here periodically to find out if any changes have been made to this Privacy Policy. If we make substantial changes we will, as appropriate prominently post these changes to our website or notify Members directly.
If you disagree with any change to the Privacy Policy, you may object to certain uses and disclosures, by following the process set out above. Continuing to use our services after we post or communicate a change signifies that you consent to the revised terms of the Privacy Policy.

Welcome to CML Support - one of the largest online patient support communities for Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia. Run by patients for patients, their families and supporters.
I was diagnosed in 1999, before the advent of TKI therapy but was fortunate enough to enter the Phase II trial of Imatinib. I set up CML Support in 2000 and the experience of helping other people has certainly helped me and my family cope with what is a lifelong diagnosis.
I was diagnosed with CML in 2009. Fortunately I've done really well and am able to lead a full and normal life. I'm grateful for all the help and encouragement I have received over the last six years, in particular from fellow patients on CMLSg.
