Right of way?

Two-wheeled speedsters

Letter from Clair Elaine Jerusha Devan

I REFER to the letter “Victim of bike rage” (June 2).

We were walking back home from the coffee shop. As my mother is 77 years old, she walks rather slowly and I was holding her arm. We heard the loud ringing of a bicycle bell and could tell a cyclist was fast coming up behind us.

I was unhappy that he was speeding on a pathway close to a playground and a park with an exercise area for the elderly.

As we did not move aside quickly enough, the cyclist swerved around us and shouted “S-T-U-P-I-D”.

Disappointingly, it was a boy aged about 10 to 12.

In the same area, a child was once knocked down and hurt by a young cyclist also speeding along the pathway.

We also encounter cyclists who ring their bell at us within the void deck, and take for granted that they have right of way wherever they ride. One can’t take a peaceful stroll in the company of an elderly person or a young child, without being rung at.

There are no easy solutions — perhaps a neighbourhood watch group looking out for errant cyclists?

 

Who should give way?

Letter from Joanne Tan

I LIVE in Jurong West, where there are many cyclists. Often, when I am walking with my two children on the footpaths, we have to dodge cyclists travelling at high speed. It is difficult to make way for them when I am holding onto my children’s hands.

As the bikes have no registration plates, we cannot even make a report if we were to be knocked down by one.

Some of the paths are marked “PCN” (for park connector network).

If these are to be shared by cyclists and pedestrians, how do we do so?

Who should give way to whom?

Yes, in Australia, they can get very fast speed at a lower price than Singapore.
BUT..... they mostly have capped data.
If you have hit their 50GB (example) data for that plan, your speed will be reduced to 64kbps (dial up speed).

Some have better control, if you have reached their 50GB data, when it is the peak period, the highest 3% data usage user will be throttled to 64kbps. next 5% @ 128kbps.
Meaning even if you have used 50GB of the data plan, you might not get throttled at all.

But most ISP does not have any information on local (AU) or overseas data speed cap.

SingTel Optus Misled Australian Broadband Users, Regulator Claims in Suit



The commission sued SingTel Optus, a unit of Southeast Asia’s biggest phone operator Singapore Telecommunications Ltd., in the Federal Court of Australia today, seeking to stop SingTel Optus from running the ads, force it to advertise corrections and pay fines.

The company’s advertisements fail to inform customers of limitations on promised download speeds, the lawsuit claims. In its “Think Bigger” campaign, SingTel Optus advertises a 120-gigabyte plan for A$49.99 ($45.50) a month, while the “Supersonic” broadband campaign promises download speeds four times faster than SingTel’s original plan.

“Once the customer exceeds the peak data allowance, the internet connection is limited to speed of 64 kbps,” the commission said in a statement today. “The ACCC alleges that Optus did not sufficiently or clearly disclose, and in some cases did not disclose at all, these qualifications.”

The lawsuit will proceed quicker than usual, having been placed on the court’s “fast track” list, the commission said. A hearing is scheduled for Sept. 16, the agency said.

Singtel Optus will work with the competition commission to resolve its concerns, the company said in an e-mailed statement.

“We go to great length to offer the best products and services to our customers and to explain the value of those offers clearly,” Singtel Optus said.

Naked auditors on Wall Street

Racy lawsuits show the industry has long way to go in tackling sexual harassment

Susan Antilla

Fifteen years after female brokers sued Smith Barney and Co in a lawsuit famously known as the Boom-Boom Room case, financial firms in the United States have set up harassment training, torn racy photographs from the walls and pulled the plug on company-paid outings to strip joints.The Vibrator: What’s All The Buzz About? After the verdict, the firm said in a statement that it will “ensure to the best of our ability that this kind of conduct does not occur again” and that it does not tolerate harassment of any kind.that had forced discrimination claims by licensed securities employees to be heard by private, industry-run arbitration panels.)

Despite all that, the industry is far from cured of a male-dominated culture where women can be intimidated and underpaid for work equal to the guys. And a recent US Supreme Court decision could block future progress by limiting female plaintiffs’ access to court and forcing more cases into closed-door arbitration.

After the arrest of former International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn on sexual-assault charges, details are emerging about an IMF culture so intimidating to some women that they decline to wear skirts at the office.

Other examples are bubbling up worldwide.

Last month, a German newspaper revealed that a subsidiary of Munich Re, the world’s biggest reinsurance company, had hired 20 prostitutes to entertain 100 top insurance agents in Budapest in 2007. The company said the event violated its policy.

Such behaviour also exists in the far corners of Wall Street, as seen in the recent case of a former sales assistant at UBS Financial Services in Kansas City. On May 3, a jury awarded her US$10.5 million (S$13 million), including punitive damages, for sexual harassment and retaliation, after a 16-day trial that had more references to breasts and male sex organs than you’d find in a romance novel.

Several jurors sat at the edge of their seats as they heard how a broker and defendant in the case put on the desk of plaintiff Carla Ingraham an article entitled

Every industry has its problems with discrimination. The US securities business, though, has been particularly slow to improve, in part the legacy of a system that shielded it almost entirely from the courts until 1999. (That year, the Securities and Exchange Commission changed the rule

Today, many securities firms prevent employees from airing their complaints in court by requiring them to sign contracts obliging them to use arbitration. Women who are bound by such agreements are able to get into court only if a judge determines that they represent a class.

That loophole is likely to close as a result of an April 27 Supreme Court decision in ATandT Mobility vs Concepcion, in which the court said that ATandT could block a class-action suit and force customers into arbitration.

Today, with Wall Street discrimination cases scattered among courts, private arbitration panels and dispute resolution groups, it is impossible to say how many cases are filed, or how often women win.

Even the very public Boom-Boom Room case ended with opacity. Most of the almost 2,000 women involved signed confidentiality agreements before settling. The lead plaintiff, Ms Pamela Martens, objected to the settlement terms and got nothing after losing her fight for a court hearing.

NT UC to work on fulfilling workers’ aspirations

Ong Dai Lin

dailin@mediacorp.com.sg

 

SINGAPORE

On Wednesday, Labour chief Lim Swee Say had said that the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) is shifting gears to put Singaporeans first on the jobs front and is considering ideas on how to moderate the foreign worker supply here.

He had added that a growing number of Singaporeans are unhappy with the jobs they have and they want jobs with better wages and career prospects.

Speaking to MediaCorp yesterday, labour MPs disagreed that there is a perception that NTUC has not done enough for workers.

Mr Heng Chee How, who is NTUC’s deputy secretary-general, reiterated that the aspirations of workers had gone up, due to the rising proportion of professionals, managers, executives and technicians (PMETs) in the workforce.

NTUC would need to work on fulfilling these aspirations, as PMETS make up more than half of the workforce today — up from around 40 per cent 15 years ago, and the number is likely to increase. “The expectations of people coming into the workforce will be to aspire for better quality jobs,” said Mr Heng.

Concurring, new labour MP Alex Yam said the labour movement had worked with the government and employers to retain jobs during the 2008 recession.

With the economy now robust, “workers in Singapore are reacting to how well our economy has done over the years” and it is “a natural progression” for NTUC to fight for better jobs for workers.— The message from Singaporeans at the General Election — that they expect more than just having jobs — was clear and the labour movement had to adjust its approach, labour Members of Parliament (MPs) told MediaCorp yesterday.

Railings being installed where teen drowned

SHARON SEE

sharonsee@mediacorp.com.sg

 

SINGAPORE

In all, 42m of railings will be installed — over two days — along a stretch of the drain at the junction of Mandalay and Minbu Roads in the Balestier area.

On Wednesday afternoon, William Lim, 15, an Indonesian student who was here on holiday, fell into the drain which was swollen with water during a heavy downpour. Hours later, his body was found in a canal 2km away.

PUB assistant director (catchment and waterways) Choy Wai Kwon said at a press conference yesterday that the drain system throughout the island will be checked over the next few days, in an effort to prevent a similar incident.

# NO  DEATH  NO  PROACTIVE RISK  MANAGEMENT  ? ? ? ? #

Member of Parliament for the area, Transport Minister Lui Tuck Yew, who visited the site yesterday, said grassroots leaders in Moulmein-Kallang Group Representation Constituency will help identify flood-prone areas in the constituency.

He said: “There are other parts I know ... And now we know, even in a relatively small drain, the force of water can be powerful and how a small misstep can be so life threatening.”

PUB said the area in Balestier where the accident occurred is not considered to be a low-lying area. Still, residents there told MediaCorp that flooding during intense downpours are common.

And sometimes, they are unable to make out where the pavement ends and the drain begins.

A resident told MediaCorp: “You can’t see anything at all because the water is muddy.”

The PUB said it received feedback about flash floods from the residents and were planning to widen, deepen and cover the drains in the area in September.

By the first quarter of next year, the drain — where the mishap occurred — will be widened from 0.6m to 1.7m and be covered completely.

Unfortunately, tragedy struck before the work could begin.

Mr Lui said he last visited the area in October and had held dialogues with residents to understand the extent of the problem.

It was understandable that the PUB would take some time to alleviate the flooding, he said. But safety measures such as railings and better lighting for dimly lit areas could be implemented immediately, he said.

Yesterday, relatives collected the teenager’s body from the mortuary.

In a press statement, the PUB said it was “deeply saddened by the tragic incident and would like to offer our heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family”.

It added that it will “review all other flood-prone areas and take necessary action to enhance safety”. The PUB also advised pedestrians not to walk “through flooded areas because of the risk of hidden hazards”.— Less than a day after the tragic drowning of an Indonesian teenager, PUB workers began installing railings next to the drain — where the mishap occurred — at about 10.30am yesterday.

7) Lace and ruffles

Lace and ruffles on your dress or chest area will also create an illusion of bigger breasts, just like the stripes effect. But while a striped top is more for your daywear, use lace or a ruffled dress when you go out in the evening or night.

Gisele Bundchen to be world's first billionaire model?



Gisele Bundchen is expected to become the world's first billionaire model, according to Forbes magazine.

Gisele Bundchen is expected to become the world's first billionaire model, according to Forbes magazine.



Gisele Bundchen is set to become the globe's first billionaire model.

The Brazilian beauty - who used to date actor Leonardo DiCaprio and is now married to Tom Brady, with who she has son Benjamin, 18 months - has been named by Forbes magazine as the first women to earn the figure, according to US currency rates, due to a combination of modelling work, endorsement deals and design work.

In addition to campaigns for Swedish high street brand H& M and Italian fashion brand Versace, she has also made millions for selling 250 million pairs of her flip-flops for the Ipanema brand. She also has a lingerie line and a beauty care range - Sejaa Pure Skincare - which is rumoured to be for sale.

Last month Gisele was named the highest earning model in the world for the seventh year in a row.

She is thought to have earned $45 million over one year, having become the face of hair care brand Pantene in March 2010 and pushing sales up in South America by 40 per cent.
