What's wrong with taking bus or mrt? Got air con, clean and can sit down during off peak.

Try waiting for taxis nowadays, especially between 3 to 5 PM and both peak hours.

Nothing wrong I also take taxi when I go drinking....
But his sis thinks she is 'public figure' so public transport would not have been her choice mode of transport unless she cannot help it. If she was always taking public transport before then I got nothing to say.

The more people think that mrt and buses are poor man transport, the more sinkies will be enslaved by the expensive cars. I'm perfectly happy with this mindset as it means I get to enjoy low total tax while the car owners pay a lot more than the rest.

I rather take bus, MRT and taxi than to own and drive a car. Its cheaper to take taxi than to own a car and the loan and operating cost will surely cost a bomb.
take taxi no need to worry about erp, parking and the the other bs...

Taxi must pay erp also.
Taxi you have to worry about booking fees, surcharges, tips.
Best is machiam white scums with their state sponsored cars with chauffeur and bodyguard....some even have outriders to clear traffic.

Traditional Teos
by Leong Phei Phei
EVER since she was in her 20s, Ms Teo Ser Lee has been answering the same old questions from her relatives and friends, especially during the Chinese New Year: Are you seeing anyone? Why are you not married? When will you get married?

The former Miss Singapore World and Miss Singapore International is 43 now and still single.

Having been in the limelight means that she has to keep facing the dreaded questions.

But these days, some of the attention has been deflected on her younger brother, Ser Luck, who is married with two kids Mr Teo, 40, entered politics in 2006. He is the Senior Parliamentary Secretary in the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports, and chairman of the People's Action Party Youth Wing.

The questions he faces from his relatives are rather different from Ser Lee's.

Mr Teo says: "People like to ask me why there are so many ERP gantries in Singapore, why the water pipes in their homes are leaking... The Chinese New Year gathering is almost like a meet-the-relatives session!"

The endless questions do not bother the Teo siblings, who, with a sense of humour, always take them in the right spirit.

Ms Teo is the founder and director of Protocol Academy, an institution that trains mid- to top-level executives in etiquette and communication skills.

She says her family is a close-knit one that observes the usual Chinese New Year traditions, such as the reunion dinner, exchanging red packets and staying up late at night for the sake of parents' longevity.

They almost never eat out for their reunion dinners because "those are too commercialised and the restaurants are always crowded", says Ms Teo. As she lives alone, she invites her family members to her apartment for steamboat.

What is unusual in the Teos' celebration is Ms Teo's practice of giving hongbao to her parents - something she has done since she started working in 1989 - "because they are not working"; and her getting hongbao from her younger brother - "because I am still single".

In turn, she will give her nephew and niece hongbao even though as a single, she is not obliged to do so.

For Mr Teo, who got married in 1994 and has two children aged eight and six, Chinese New Year is his most treasured event in the calendar, more so after he entered politics.

He says: "My daily schedule has become busier, but I always find time to spend Chinese New Year with my family.

"So far, I haven't had to miss reunion dinners with my family because of work, and I hope it never happens.

"It is important for us to still celebrate Chinese New Year and observe its traditions.

"Already, younger generation Singaporeans are fast losing the ability to speak dialects. Nowadays, some young people can't even hold a decent conversation in Mandarin.

"We need to keep the traditions alive to remind ourselves of our roots."

Ugly side of being a beauty queen
By CRYSTAL CHAN

teo28.jpg


FIRST, people mock your poor diction.

Then, they expose your past – though in Ris Low’s case, one could argue that she brought it upon herself by being a credit card crook.

She can’t even claim that her wrong-doing was from her distant past, having committed her offences about a year ago.

She was convicted and sentenced to 24 months of supervised probation just two months before winning the crown.

Ris may feel aggrieved that her crime was exposed just weeks before she was to represent Singapore in the Miss World 2009 pageant in South Africa in December.

But as former beauty queen Teo Ser Lee knows all too well, being a celebrity immediately opens one up to public scrutiny, misperceptions and, yes, gossip.

Miss Teo, 44, a winner of three beauty pageants, told The New Paper On Sunday about how people had misconceived ideas of who and what she was.

Teo Ser Lee ... 'Unfortunately, being subject to constant scrutiny is a price that public figures have to pay'
Teo Ser Lee ... 'Unfortunately, being subject to constant scrutiny is a price that public figures have to pay'

Never mind that she has a degree in accountancy from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and does not include her beauty pageant achievements in her CVs.

She said: "I never thought it necessary to list my titles in my CVs as they don’t lend credibility to the job I’m seeking.

"Even then, when I began work as an auditor, people tended to think that I got the job because of my exposure in the media.

"When I went for job interviews, I had interviewers and other candidates who asked ‘Have I seen your face in the papers somewhere? Aren’t you the one who won Miss Singapore World?’

"Some people just never came to terms with the fact that I got the job through merit. They never cared that I had a degree – their idea was that I’m a bimbo or a beauty with no brains.

"But that made me want to work hard at my job to prove my worth."

Some of her former clients and colleagues even belittled her or picked on her during meetings.

Teo, who later moved into public relations and managerial positions in multinational corporations, said: "Some clients would ask indirectly if I knew what I was doing or what I was talking about, because they didn’t trust my abilities."

Teo, who now runs etiquette consultancy Protocol Academy, said she did not enter beauty pageants to seek glamour or fame.

It was for a more practical reason: Her family was not well-off and she needed money to pay for her studies in NUS.

In 1986, during her second year at NUS, she won Miss Singapore International.

Her prize: S$5,000 cash and more than S$100,000 worth of products and services.

In 1988, hoping to do a master’s degree, she entered and won Miss Singapore World. But she ended up using the S$10,000 cash prize to ease her family’s financial circumstances and she couldn’t do her master’s degree.

One last contest

In 1989, her manager advised her to give beauty pageants another shot.

She explained: "Beyond the age of 27, I’d be too old to compete, so my manager asked me to give it one last try."

She won Miss Singapore Globe that year. But her fame and exposure came at a price. People scrutinised her every move. It was something that she came to accept.

She said: "Unfortunately, being subject to constant scrutiny is a price that public figures have to pay. Being a beauty queen is not all glamour."

When she goes shopping, people comment on her appearance.

She said: "On weekends, I sometimes just wore jeans and a T-shirt, without any make-up. And some people would come up to me and ask, ‘Eh, how come you’re dressed like that?’"

She also had to contend with jealousy from other women, and men who kept trying to chat her up.

She said: "There were times when women gave me the ‘Who do you think you are?’ look.

"When I’m socialising at events and I talk to men, their wives and girlfriends become uncomfortable. I could sense it from their body language so I simply stopped talking to those men."

The scrutiny becomes more intense when a beauty queen marries.

It happened to Teo when she married businessman Paul Nam in 1993, despite her not informing the press about it.

She said: "People get married every day. But my marriage was covered as though it was the wedding of the year.

"I didn’t invite the reporters to my church and wedding dinner but they turned up anyway. Still, it was a happy day, and I didn’t get irritated."

She got divorced a few years later, but declined to go into this.

Having experienced the life of a beauty queen, she empathises with other local beauty queens who have been criticised for things such as their poor command of English or their outlandish outfits.

She said: "People will criticise anything. I guess that as an ambassador for Singapore, you are expected to speak well because you’re representing the country.

"Then again, many people here speak English that way, if not worse.

"It’s unfair for contestants to be criticised for their outfits because the clothes are either chosen by organisers or sponsors, so the girls don’t get much say."

On Ris’ case

Does Teo think it was silly of Ris to commit credit card fraud?

She said diplomatically that to err is human and that other people do commit such offences.

"But if a celebrity commits an offence, it’s on the front pages of newspapers. It’s not bitchy, but the adverse publicity is the reality of a life in the limelight."

Still, like some other former beauty queens contacted by The New Paper on Sunday, Teo feels it is preferable for a Miss Singapore to have no criminal record.

As for netizens’ calls for Ris to be stripped of her title, Teo said everyone is entitled to their opinions.

She said: "When you’re representing your country, the public tends to have high expectations of you. As long as you’re in the public eye, people want to talk more and exaggerate things about you."

His elder sis beauty queen used to hold his hand and bring this shy awkward boy to church every Sunday....

Both of them were quite the attention whores. During his JC days, she used to meet up with him (frequently) in the middle of the football field...to ensure maximum exposure.
