Monkeys coming into house

haklung — Fri, 18 Jan 2019 16:19:19 +0800

Our area has seen some developers doing forest clearing, and this has resulted in monkeys having less place to stay and less food to eat. The monkeys now start coming into our houses.

Which gomen dept can we report this to, so the monkeys can be re-located?

I "ever" go there

haklung — Sat, 29 Sep 2018 03:24:54 +0800

When a Singaporean says "I ever go there", what does it actually mean?
As far as my (not-so-good) English education goes, there is no such usage of "ever".
Does it mean:
a. I went there once
b. I sometimes go there
c. I always go there
d. whatever ...

Grab / Uber commission

haklung — Sat, 08 Jul 2017 08:04:36 +0800

As in most other commission based businesses, Grab / Uber commission should be limited to 2%.

20-25% is extortion.

Please petition your MPs to legislate this in Parliament.

Don't say this cannot be done, unless you have tried and failed.

Thank you.
