Re: Jover Chew's mother says he is a filial son.
Clean money or dirty money doesn't matter, as long as the gifts and allowance money and overseas trips come regularly, you are a filial son and all is forgiven.

Media attention the way to tackle errand shops in Sim Lim Sq? How maid got a refund for phone she bought

Police reports have been lodged against Mobile Air, the Sim Lim Square shop that has become infamous for its unfair sales tactics.
The police yesterday released a statement saying they were looking into the matter, as well as a related report of intentional harassment.
According to The Straits Times, the series of media reports on Mobile Air over the past week was read by Mr Christian Ratnam while on holiday in Australia. When he returned to Singapore on Thursday evening, he was shocked when his family's 43-year-old maid, Ms Ati Rohi, told him she had fallen prey at another Sim Lim shop.
On Sunday, she paid $450 for a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 phone from Mobile 22. After Mobile Air, the shop has the most complaints against it filed with the Consumers Association of Singapore.
Ms Ati, who initially purchased the phone as she was in the area and was offered a good price, was then asked to sign a receipt for a warranty, which she did.
That was when her nightmare began - she was told the warranty would cost her an additional $957.60. Shocked and scared, the Indonesian maid who has been working for 12 years in Singapore haggled for half an hour with a salesman.
"I told them, if I ask my employer for so much money, surely I will get a scolding. They told me to ask my friends for the money."
The salesman told her the shop would keep the phone until she returned with enough money.
She left the shop having spent $450, but with nothing to show for it. Yesterday, Mr Ratnam accompanied Ms Ati to the shop to resolve the issue, after informing The Straits Times.
Four salesmen were at the shop at the time, but only one talked to Mr Ratnam. He insisted that Ms Ati had signed the receipt for the warranty and owed the amount stated on it. The receipt did not have the name of the shop or any receipt number.
But, realising they were being observed, the salesman changed tack and said he could return the maid the $450, but would keep the GST charged on the phone.
When Mr Ratnam, who is self-employed, stood firm, the salesman took out a $1,000 note and asked if he had change. Mr Ratnam said he did not.
After getting $50 notes from a money changer next door, the salesman handed $450 to Mr Ratnam, crushed Ms Ati's receipt and threw it onto the floor.
The whole affair was over in five minutes.

Online vigilante group in Sim Lim saga says its Paypal account was suspended

SMRT Ltd (Feedback), a satirical and online vigilante group, has gotten its Paypal account suspended after it had started to post personal details about the errant Sim Lim Square shopkeeper last week. -- ST PHOTO: LAU FOOK KONG
By Kash Cheong
SINGAPORE- The online group which splashed personal info on an errant Sim Lim retailer on the Internet said its Paypal account has been suspended.
The account was suspended due to "suspicious activity", said the group which calls itself SMRT Ltd (Feedback) in a Facebook post on Saturday.
SMRT Ltd (Feedback), a satirical group that mocked the breakdowns and disruptions on public transport, was set up in 2011.
In the past week, it has started to post personal details about the errant shopkeeper Jover Chew after he was found to have used illegal sales tactics and humiliated a Vietnamese tourist.
Mr Chew's personal information and addresses of his various businesses, including that of his wife's, were shared over online forums and the Facebook page of SMRT Ltd (Feedback).
Some held up shirts with expletives in front of the shuttered Mobile Air shop and these photos were seen on the Facebook page of SMRT Ltd (Feedback). Multiple fast-food orders were also delivered to a home registered in Jover Chew's name.
It also started a campaign on crowdfunding site Indiegogo to raise US$10,000 in order to continue its activities and it launched a fund-raising effort on site youcaring to raise $5,000.
A check on both sites on Monday morning showed that the link to Indiegogo was broken while the fundraising campaign youcaring was still up.
It is not known who is behind the group, as the administrators of the Facebook page have remained anonymous.
But while their actions have been praised by some, politicians have warned against vigilantism.
Some netizens have gone "too far" and the police is probing in to a case of harassment in the recent Sim Lim Square saga, said Second Minister for Home Affairs S Iswaran, posting on Facebook on Saturday.
"Do exercise restraint and do not take matters into your own hands. Let due process take its course," Mr Iswaran urged on his Facebook page last Saturday.
"The Government is also studying other measures to protect consumers better. This may take some time especially if we need to amend our laws."
Ms Winnie Koh, Mr Chew's wife, said in reports that she had filed a police complaint against SMRT Ltd (Feedback).
This shows what cowards these criminal shopkeepers are. It also shows that had the police or CASE leant a little bit on them, they'd have backed off. Instead, both the police and CASE have appeared to be on their side. And of course, they've found yet another ally in S Iswaran.

Most of these beng shops would give you a "not happy you go complaint! go report police! go report CASE! Sue me lah!"
Singaporeans are too civil. In another country that Jover would have been wrapped in a guni sack and have the living daylights whacked out of him.

These errant retailers are also emboldened by the pro-business authorities, who I suspect are in cahoots with each other.
Where else can you find a consumer rights watchdog group infested with members of the ruling political party? No conflict of interest? Yeah right.
Then just fuck home to matland and also stay away from a Singapore forum.
should check how many PAP cronies own the shops in Sls...These errant retailers are also emboldened by the pro-business authorities, who I suspect are in cahoots with each other.
