68% jump in e-mail sent to SOS service

[BuiKia]

This is a sign that something is really wrong in the country.

The Samaritans of Singapore (SOS) said yesterday that its SOS Email Befriending service received 3,690 e-mail messages in financial year 2011-2012, about 68 per cent more than in the previous financial year.

Among the e-mail from those aged below 30, relationship problems featured prominently, accounting for 34 per cent of the messages.

They even have an instant messenger service (for chatting!).

This is really pathetic.

I hate SMS ad from insurance,property,tuition..............................
Can we sue them using record from the phone? Where do they get our number?
Also telemarketing can we sue them? Is out of control. Everyday on average get 1~2 call from telemarketeer and few sms.
