Has been my MP in my estate but this is the first time I get to know him better from the media as they discuss about issues. Let me see he is a down to earth person!
I enjoyed this series! Like a Chinese version of Jean Danker's "R U Okay?". Look forward to the next episode 😊 (PS: i noticed u guys might not be too comfy on the sofa recording for so long + the angle for the person sitting next to the guest. Maybe can change to individual seats for more comfort?)
But to be honest, pregnancy is a very sticky situation. You cannot really blame the boss coz if the woman goes for maternity leave the co. will have an empty post which is awkward for the company. You cannot blame the woman coz you cannot stop someone from building a family
Did you know that accrued interest on CPF can also be clawed back from employers who pay your CPF late? On top of this, CPFB would also impose a 1.5% penalty to your employers should they be late in the contribution. Also, no employer is legally permitted to hold an employee back as long as the employee serves the notice period stated in contract / pay the notice period. That said, employees should take the time to understand the rights covered under Employment Act and CPF Act. Useful summaries and guidelines are available at MOM (Employment Act) and Tripartite (Employment Guidelines) websites as well, although I must admit some details may still be quite obscure for layman like us to find out or understand. It takes some reading, but knowledge is still the power to deter smelly employers from exploiting their employees. Disclaimer: I'm not legally trained, working for any GLC/ministry or any HR expert; just mildly invested in ensuring rouge employers don't take advantage of their employees who are just trying to make an honest living.
Maybe only I am not aware but why is it that every minister that take on their role is actually earning less than what they would have earned in their previous job. Yet everyone is saying they are earning too much money ??
They do not reveal the benefits they get, such as pension, medical, parking, dividends and director fees....... Do you think they are fools? Are you a fool? All ministers stay in landed houses. Vivan Balakrishnan bought a landed property in prime location after he became a minister.
if you go interview and you are pregnant at about 4-6 months, you tried to hide and the hirer cannot ask, does that mean you are obscuring the fact you are pregnant?
The ntu and nus Chinese students i met, their chinese is almost all A leh.... Cuz they have to Aces subjects to get in and mother tongue is one if the subjects. To Ace that, definitely need to have certain level. And many sap schools using Chinese in school edu is meant to venture out to China market and roots. So gotta be better in Mandarin.
His first language shouldn't be Mandarin but something else, but he then pick many strong Chinese grammar. Some words like 尽量 (Jin4 Liang4) he said Jin3 Liang4 and 处理 (Chu3 Li3) he said Chu4 Li3 But only to trained ears then can tell, and the speaking speed, but otherwise his Mandarin is still very good but the artificial way learn from books maybe His talking speed is something will not make Taiwan people understand him but PRC people can
Could just be learnt mandarin from all over, so accent is mixed. Sg doesn't have a lot of strong mandarin speaker, so to have this proficiency, could be mix of exposure to media from all over. Msia Taiwan, even PRC has so many accents cuz of regional dialect
@@alui5362 Yes I know, but in both PRC and ROC the tones I wrote above are exactly the same, so from that can tell Mandarin is not his main language, is learnt, like those HwaChung people, primary language is English but learn Mandarin from textbook
@@CY_Chen I mean.. to me that's Singapore chinese lor. it's not like our accent should follow PRC or ROC. for a lot of people who speak mandarin, it's learnt from textbook. because our ancestors spoke dialect before that - then all forced to learn mandarin from textbook.
