So, there’s this couple… let’s call them "A" and "B" from certain 2 Bank. They came to us with a project, and at first, everything seemed professional. We met a few times, and the vibe seemed cordial. They were confident, experienced, and seemed like they knew exactly what they wanted. But soon enough, we learned we were dealing with something entirely different. Right from the beginning, we offered them a pretty big discount due to some delay on our end. Honestly, it was a way to build goodwill and get the project off the ground with no friction. But instead of appreciating it, they demanded more. They weren’t satisfied with the initial offer, pushing for an even bigger cut. It felt like we were being taken advantage of. Still, after a lot of back-and-forth, we finally agreed, hoping it would lead to a solid working relationship. But man, that was just the start of it. They treated my colleague and me like we were beneath them. They acted like we were lucky to be working with them, even though it was the other way around. Their attitude? Pure entitlement. They had a way of speaking to us that was condescending and patronizing, making us feel small and unimportant. Every time something didn’t meet their standard, they were quick to point fingers. "This isn’t right," "This wasn’t what we expected," even though we had done everything according to their requests. They didn’t just want answers—they wanted perfection, and they weren’t afraid to let us know when things didn’t meet their expectations. They were also incredibly quick to accuse and threaten, often trying to shift the blame entirely onto us for anything that went wrong. If something was off, they didn’t look inward but immediately pointed fingers. Whether it was about deadlines, materials, or decisions, their response was always the same: someone else was to blame. And if things didn’t go their way, they didn’t hesitate to escalate, making it clear they were ready to take legal action. They played the “you’re in trouble” card at every turn, as though it was a power move they could pull to intimidate us into compliance. As the project neared completion, the payment discussions became increasingly difficult. Instead of agreeing to settle, they came up with excuse after excuse, asking for more discounts, claiming issues with the work that weren’t really there. The work was done according to the agreed terms, but they continued to deflect and try to avoid paying. And it wasn’t just us—other contractors who had worked with them also faced similar delays and excuses. Every company that tried to request payment was rejected with more stories about how "something went wrong" or "there were issues with the work." It became clear that this wasn’t just our problem, but part of their regular pattern. They were rude and demeaning, often making sarcastic remarks or belittling us during both in-person and written communication. Their tone was always sharp, like they were looking for any reason to challenge or criticize us. And get this: their first helper ran off, and their second only stuck around for a week before they couldn’t take the pressure anymore. They’d make impossible demands, set deadlines that were way too tight, and then, when we couldn’t meet them, they’d threaten us with lawsuits. It felt like we were constantly walking on eggshells, with them waiting for an opportunity to shift the blame onto us. Now, here’s the real dilemma—should this be reported to their respective companies? I mean, the way they treated us was downright demeaning, and I’m honestly shocked that people like them are in positions of power. It makes you wonder how they even got to these roles with such an entitled attitude and lack of respect for others. I’m not sure what good it would do, but it feels wrong to let this kind of behavior slide when it’s so toxic.

Whenever I asked new citizens why they would migrate to Singapore, the main reason they usually gave was that Singapore provides a good education. Thinking about it, is that really true? Maybe it is true for Maths and Sciences, but definitely not true for languages. It is a common sight to see Singaporeans scoring a B4 and below for O-level English, especially C6 and D7. Meanwhile, they are proud of scoring As for Chinese. Little do they know that our O-level Mandrian is actually equivalent to Taiwan, China, and Malaysia's primary school level. As a result, when people ask what our native language is, do we really have one? Since many struggle in both English and Mandarin (for the Chinese), does that mean many Chinese Singaporeans are functionally illiterate (excluding those who excel in English or Higher Chinese)? That seems to be a huge problem in Singapore, as we don't seem to have a language we're particularly proficient in.

I'm the previous OP whose husband cheated when I was 5 months pregnant. I gave chances and chances as I do not want a broken family for my son. We recently moved in to our 3-room BTO flat in January 2025 and our baby is now 2 months old. He is now embarrassed that I have informed my whole family of his infidelity and hesitate or refused to attend my family events and just let me go alone. I felt very sad seeing my cousins with their husbands and children while I'm the married woman with a baby going alone to family functions or events. Might as well I divorce for real and be single mother. My 3-room flat is still not MOP 5 years and I'm just thinking should I tahan until 5 years or give the House up to preserve my mental health. His family is not supportive and is blaming me mostly for his infidelity "can't keep a man" His mom said "Why didn't you divorce when you was 5 months pregnant, now good you already have a house, then now want to divorce! Nvm let her go back stay at her parents' place with her cats!", "Nvm son, you married her also your clothing all not in order and so messy your bed, might as well just be single", "Maybe if last time son u with ur ex, maybe won't end up like this". Should I tahan until MOP 5 years or just call it quits? I'm now 25 years old, I'll be 30 by the time MOP 5 years.

I really hope this pest gets killed. Sounds normal, except it's a human. -.- This person has been so kaypoh about me, to an irritating level. You know how ppl wanna know what you do, but this one literally asks it's friends to keep a watch over me. Constantly worried and tries by all means to create obstacles in my progression. For ex, when I go on a date with anyone, they literally spread rumours about me to my date, as a random person. A few of my dates told me the same thing like how a random guy told them bad untrue stuff about me. Since they don't know me, they don't know if it's true and they choose to ghost me eventually. Worse thing, I have rejected this idiot yet, obsessed. I'm a 30 F, btw. They are older than me. How dumb, free and desperate are they

I am stalked by my ex sch person, who literally stalls car near where I leave from home, I've seen him do the (keep an eye on her sign?) to his two friends, everytime I pass by the blk area. Its harmless stalking or watching or staring and them talking amongst themselves, but not like casual but targeted watch and talk. So when I see them around but I feel very uncomf, almost as if my privacy is gone kinda feeling. They stare like vampires. Do I report to police? Cos idk if they are taking pictures of me when I pass by leh. Why gimme unnecessary stress, if only they could just be normal. I will ignore if they ever talk to me tho, or for sure report but they just always stare and ps ps after I pass by. So odd.
