wow.. getting more and more version liao

I had a totally different of interpretation from you. Mine is since seller claim she didn't receive any money, how to return the deposit to TS.

why need to dirty your own hand. remove other ppl door and main door, will not get urself into trouble mah?

you learn from him or you teach him http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?sh...c=29758&hl=

That's why it is important to issue CHQ for deposit. DOn't use cash. If TS issue a CHQ and seller claimed she didn't receive it and the CHQ got cash. hehehe police case liao. Confirm. Can file for police report.

base on what TS has written. Don't think the seller return TS the deposit

For this, you can 1. file a police report, 2. complain to the agent company 3. complain to (what is that org that represent property agent?) I thought POA must be witness by lawyer?

i know someone did compile a list of hunted HDB unit. Now blacklisted list. I think sooner or later, will have ah long list

DIY will care

http://www.asiaone.com/News/The%2BNew%2BPa...923-238664.html IT WAS a Hari Raya weekend that went horribly wrong. Mr Abdul Jamal Salam was trying to unclog his sink after a party at home when there was a sudden explosion. The impact was so great that the 45-year-old was flung about a metre backwards and slammed into a cabinet. The freak accident has left him partially blind and with severe burns on his chest and face. The incident happened on September 12. Mr Abdul Jamal and his wife, Madam Saadiah Hadi, 43, had invited their relatives, friends and neighbours to their four-room flat in Pasir Ris to celebrate Hari Raya that day. Cleaning up Madam Saadiah, a housewife, told The New Paper in Malay: "The last guest left at 10pm. So we started cleaning up and I washed the dishes. "Then I noticed that the water was not running smoothly. So I poured hot water into the sink and waited for 10 to 15 minutes." When that didn't work, Mr Abdul Jamal, who was washing the toilet at the time, took over from his wife. After the hot water in the sink had drained away, he started pouring declogger powder from a bottle cap into a drain hole on the floor next to the sink. What happened next shocked them. Madam Saadiah said: "The sudden explosion sounded like a volcano erupting. It happened in the blink of an eye. There was no warning, no bubbling or anything. "The next thing I knew, my husband was screaming in pain. The remaining powder in the cap was all over the floor." The explosion could have been caused by the reaction of chemicals in the declogger and hot water, said a chemist. The blast woke their children Nur Amaliah, 16, and Aleem Siddique, 13. Said Madam Saadiah: "They were shocked and asked me, 'Mama, what happened?' "I said, 'I don't know what happened, suddenly there was an explosion and now your father can't see.'" Mr Abdul Jamal was writhing in pain with his face in his hands, screaming that he couldn't see anything, Madam Saadiah said. But he managed to get up and wash his eyes with water at the sink. "I looked at his eyes and got a shock. His eyeballs had turned white," she said. "I panicked. I didn't know what to do. He was shouting for me to call an ambulance." He spent about 20 minutes washing his eyes, she said. "He was so focused on getting rid of the chemicals from his eyes that he didn't realise how badly his body had also been burnt," said Madam Saadiah. By then, the kitchen floor had become slippery with the spilt chemicals and water. She guided him to the bathroom to wash up. "He showered for about 10 minutes to get rid of the chemicals from his body," she said. Trained in first aid "We're lucky that he is trained in emergency first aid as part of his job. Otherwise, it could have been worse." Mr Abdul Jamal is an immigration officer with the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority. The ambulance arrived within minutes and he was taken to the Singapore General Hospital (SGH). Madam Saadiah said: "He didn't have time to wipe himself dry so the paramedics were surprised when they saw him thoroughly wet." Mr Abdul Jamal in the hospital after the incident. Mr Abdul Jamal suffered 14 per cent burns on his face and chest, she said. The burns on his chest were so bad that he needed skin-grafting with skin from his thigh, she added. Said Madam Saadiah: "His eyes have changed from white to yellow to red and now a bit of black is returning." But he still can't see. She said: "Everything is blurry to him." Madam Saadiah is worried that he may not be able to work if he loses his sight. He is the family's sole breadwinner. "He needs to drive. If he can't see, what can he do in the future?" she said. "I hope he can recover at least 90 per cent of his eyesight. The doctor said it can heal but it will take time." Mr Abdul Jamal is expected to be discharged from the high dependency unit today, said a spokesman for SGH. It has been more than a week since the accident, but Madam Saadiah is still traumatised. She said: "Now I'm so afraid to wash the dishes. I'm scared it will happen again." The marks left on the cabinet below the sink are a daily reminder of the freak accident. She said: "The marks won't go away no matter how hard I scrub. Every time I look at the cabinet, the incident comes back to haunt me." Declogger removed from shelves THE declogger used by Mr Abdul Jamal Salam has been removed from supermarket shelves after the incident. Checks with NTUC Fair Price, where the product was sold, confirmed this. Investigations are underway,an NTUC Fair Price spokesman said. "The safety of our customers is paramount, and we have temporarily withdrawn the product from our stores as a precautionary measure pending the results of our investigations into this matter with our suppliers." The spokesman said the product has been in the market for three years and it was the first time NTUC Fair Price has received a complaint about it. The drain cleaner, Huchs Instant Declogger, was sold in NTUC Fair Price at $3.65 per 500g bottle. When The New Paper called the supplier, Globalpex, a woman who identified herself as an administrator, said:"We used to be the sole distributor here but now we no longer carry this product since a few weeks ago." She said the product was from Europe and that her company supplied it only to NTUC Fair Price. Strong alkali A Google search threw up only two mentions of the product, both on the NTUC Fair Price website. Anyone whose skin or eyes come into contact with decloggers must quickly wash away the chemical. Associate Professor Peter George Manning, senior consultant in the Emergency Medicine Department of the National University Hospital, said: "Depending on where the chemical hits,wash the area thoroughly. "Many drain cleaners contain lye - a very strong alkali - and it can burn as badly or worse than acid. "Rinse copiously and jump into the shower. It should be removed quickly. Alkali can penetrate the skin worse than acid. After that, get to the hospital quickly." Drain cleaners typically contain lye (sodium hydroxide) or sulfuric acid. Either chemical is capable of causing serious chemical burns if splashed on the skin. It may also cause blindness if it gets in contact with the eyes. The explosion could have been caused by the reaction between baking soda, vinegar and hot water, said a chemist,who wanted to be known only as Ms Tan. This combination - usually used in a homemade declogger - results in a violent reaction that releases a lot of heat and creates a slight explosion, she said. She added: "The baking soda reacts with the vinegar, which is an organic acid. The chemical reaction will produce carbon dioxide, salt and water. "The heat, which is produced by the reaction, will cause the pipe to expand so that things that are stuck will go down together with the water that is poured in." Prevent this from happening to you - Always follow the manufacturer's directions. - Drainage cleaners can corrode metal pipes or cast-iron traps. - Don't look down the drain after pouring in a chemical. The solution often heats up and gives off toxic fumes. - Don't mix chemicals or different brands of decloggers without checking for compatibility. This can cause an explosion. - Wear rubber gloves to prevent the chemical from burning your skin. - Wear safety goggles to protect your eyes. - Never use a plunger if a chemical cleaner is present in the drain; you risk splashing the chemical on yourself.

http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin...1082742/1/.html Man pleads guilty to omitting rental income in tax returns By Shaffiq Alkhatib | Posted: 22 September 2010 1825 hrs SINGAPORE : A 51-year-old man has pleaded guilty to tax evasion by failing to declare his rental income in his 2005 income tax returns. Goh Ah Bah, who owns apartments in places such as Hougang, Bukit Batok and Yishun admitted that he did not declare some S$139,040 in rental income. This means the total amount of tax undercharged is more than S$24,680. Goh will be sentenced on October 13. For committing the offence, he would have to pay the tax as well as a penalty of some S$74,000 which is three times the amount undercharged. The total works out to about S$98,750. On top of the unpaid tax and penalty, he could also be fined a maximum of S$10,000 and jailed up to three years.

http://www.asiaone.com/Business/News/Story...922-238597.html He paid $30k COV but noise keeps him awake Thinking that staying near the MRT station would be more convenient, Mr Yeo paid cash over valuation (COV) of $30,000 for his home, but things have not worked out the way he imagined. Shin Min Daily reported that after moving into his Tampines flat, he found the noise generated by passing trains increasingly intolerable. Home owner complained of noise from MRT trains Click on thumbnail to view The 48-year-old Mr Yeo, who works at a hardware store, bought his flat in Block 248 on Tampines Street 21 more than a year ago. He told the Chinese evening daily that the noise from the MRT trains has disturbed his rest, causing his fatigue. "Before I bought the flat, my friends warned me about the potential noise from the MRT, but it seemed bearable at the time. I also thought I would get used to it over time. But after I moved in, I found it hard to bear." Besides the fact that it was only a five minutes walk from the Tampines MRT station, He also favoured this location as it was near his daughter's secondary school. "This unit is only 91 sq metres, smaller than the usual HDB flat (110 sq metres), but it is near the MRT. When I bought it at $350,000, I had to pay $30,000 cash over valuation." Mr Yeo says that from 6am to 8.30am in the morning, and 6pm to 8.30pm in the evening, there are trains passing through every two to three minutes. The noise is even louder when two trains pass through in both directions. The noise not only wakes him up, it also drowns out television programmes and telephone conversations. Within permissible limits A spokesperson from Singapore Mass Rapid Transit (SMRT) told Shin Min Daily that they received a complaint from Mr Yeo in january this year. They called him within a week, and explained to his daughter that the tracks are undergoing upgrading that will help reduce the noise from trains. SMRT also tested the volume at the flat and found it to be 62.8 decibels, which is within the permissible noise limits of 65 decibels set by the National Environmental Agency. The train service provider also says it conducts regular checks on the noise levels to ensure that they are within the permissible range. A reporter from Shin Min Daily visited Mr Yeo at 4pm in the afternoon on Monday, and measured the noise level from a window facing the train tracks. She found that the sound from one train passing through reached 72 decibels. According to the NEA website, the permissible noise limit in a residential area should be less than 75 decibels from 7am to 7pm, and less than 65 decibels from 7pm to 10pm.
