This ties in with my anecdotal experience with local engineers. 99% engineering graduates of NTU are useless. 99% of engineering graduates of NUS are ballsless and gutless to speak out.

That is why there is no single brand of world-class worth mentioning in Singapore that rose from humble beginnings.

In a totalitarian shithole, there is no freedom of speech and dissent. Creativity and innovation in the arts and sciences cannot exist. Consequently, the economy inevitably devolves into a parasitical, rent-seeking model wholly focused on short-term benefits.

Well, the 70% fuckwits liked it this way. The Taiwanese grew up and stopped getting hypnotized by the Chiangs, perhaps one day Sinkies will also grow up and stop being besotted by the Lees.
 
The presenters were making obvious digs at her.... while praising her sky high for her capabilities and the power she wields, they leave viewers questioning what dangerous fate sinkieland is under her rule.

Can't beat these Taiwanese newscasters

It is not about Singapore, but a bunch of useless Scholars and Paper generals with no business exposure and can't think out of the box. You will see more of those people being introduced at your doorsteps this coming GE.
If to replace joteo.
I ok.
 
I honestly see no point in producing these stupid masks because they do absolutely nothing to stop the spread of Covid-19.

To all people of Taiwan,
Thank you for your generosity for the much needed masks and also to apologise for the behaviour of the wife of our PM. I would also like to congratulate you all for the outstanding work in containing the virus in Taiwan. Definitely a true gold standard which the rest of the world including Singapore can learned from. I know how you all must have felt for being robbed of this recognition by WHO. Finally do not judge us from the behaviour of one poor upbringing citizen. May you continue to make good progress in the fight against the virus and hope that in the very near future our two people can visit each other again.

Respectfully yours

If you want to suck Taiwanese cock why don't you post in a Taiwanese forum or facebook page your fellatio efforts are wasted here.
 
Troube is ST has lots of heavy weights who know nuts but playing politics
The mgr level n lower all de motivated and hollowed out as most are sub con or got Ftrashes to run the place
The Idian General who messed up STK is one good example...yayapapaya...cut heads at top n meddle and unable to manage...ran off to ST Electronics!!
Now ST K is a dinosaur.........
Watz so difficult about mask production?? Cn has 9000 set up in 2 wks each line costing $70000
 
It just shows the dangers of outsourcing production for vital and strategic goods to other countries as they can always ban exports. Vietnam did it with rice, n not only fuckeinland banned mask production. Ah tiong land did it too. Even hong kong started it's own mask production factory to overcome the shortage. All countries now need to revise their list of strategic products and ensure domestic production. The next thing to look at is food production. With vertical warehouse farming n hopefully lab grown meats. There is no reason why singkieland cannot be self sufficient in food.

 
Like I've said before, she's already running the country via her husband. She's both in our private and public sectors. Scary!!!:eek:
She sit on the most powerful glc .You think hubby not scare? Hubby can talking on the funding . But she can issue cheque. The international media name her one of the top infuence woman ceo in Singapore

I assumed u would have gotten used to it by now. The forum is a bottom feeder HQ. Nothing more.

Pretty much a waste of time and effort though since masks do nothing to stop the spread.

Sigh.. I have said it many times b4. I advocate wearing masks for every day going out day to day outdoor stuff. The reason is the outdoor pollution, dusts n fumes n smog etc from vehicles, construction high population density etc. How many times have we pass through a shop or building whereby renovations are going on n cutting n grinding into concrete n dusts etc floating around n inhaling all that crap? And singkie health standards are amazing. There is no regulation to cover up the work area properly n I dont think they use water cutters etc. I am surprised that lung disease n cancer etc is not more common due to the exposure of all that shit.

Silica dust - Cancer Council Australia
What is silica dust?
Silica dust (crystalline silica) is found in some stone, rock, sand, gravel and clay. The most common form is quartz. Silica dust can also be found in the following products:

bricks
tiles
concrete
some plastic material.
When these materials are worked on, silica is released as a fine dust known as respirable crystalline silica or silica dust.

Today, all States and Territories in Australia have work health and safety laws that explain duty of care for employers and workers' responsibilities.

Silica dust and cancer
Silica dust is harmful when inhaled into your lungs. As it is 100 times smaller than a grain of sand, you can be breathing it in without knowing.

Exposure to silica dust can lead to the development of lung cancer, silicosis (an irreversible scarring and stiffening of the lungs), kidney disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It is estimated that 230 people develop lung cancer each year as a result of past exposure to silica dust at work. Not all exposed workers will develop cancer; cancer risk increases with long term or repeated high level exposure.

Work and exposure to silica dust
Approximately 587,000 Australian workers were exposed to silica dust in the workplace in 2011. It has been estimated that 5758 of these will develop a lung cancer over the course of their life as a result of that exposure. The occupations with the greatest exposure include:

miners
construction workers
farmers
engineers.
You may be exposed to silica dust if your work involves:

breaking, crushing, grinding or milling material containing silica dust
sand blasting or casting
paving, surfacing or cement finishing
bricklaying
demolition work
road construction
stonemasonery
mineral ore-treating processes
manufacture of glass, ceramics, brick, concrete, tile, metals or machinery.
Effective controls
All Australian workplaces must follow work health and safety laws. These can vary between states and territories although the duty of care for employers and workers across Australia is similar.

Employers are required to ensure the health and safety of their workers and others at their workplace.
Employers have a duty to control the risks associated with work.
Workers must take reasonable care of their own health and safety, must not negatively affect the health and safety of other people and follow any reasonable instruction and workplace health and safety policies.
To follow work health and safety laws, employers should eliminate or reduce exposure to hazards by following the risk management process (figure 1). If suitable control measures are not in place, anyone working around silica dust has an increased risk of developing lung cancer. Workers should always be involved in the process.

Air monitoring for silica dust
The mandatory limit for silica dust exposure in Australia is 0.1mg/m3 averaged over an eight hour day, although the ACGIH have recommended this be limited to 0.025mg/m3. However, there is no evidence to support a safe level of silica dust exposure. Work Health and Safety (WHS) Regulation 50 states air monitoring by an occupational hygienist must be conducted every 12-18 months if there is health safety risk or if there is potential of exseeing the exposure limit. However, air sampling on its own is not enough.

Health surveillance
WHS Regulations state that health monitoring must be provided to workers who are continually working with silica dust and there is a significant risk to the worker's health.

Safe Work Australia's crystalline silica health monitoring guide outlines how to monitor workers. It can help to detect loss in lung function before permanent damage. These should be done before job placement and at least every three years (yearly for high-risk jobs).

How do I reduce my cancer risk?
If you are concerned about your health, or think you may have been exposed to a cancer causing agent, speak to your doctor.

The table below outlines a summary of control measures for silica dust.

Table 1. Summary of control measures for silica dust
ACTIVITY CONTROL
Construction, planning and design

For example, by:

using other materials (e.g. autoclaved aerated concrete) in place of concrete masonry
planning buildings with pre-built recesses for plumbing, gas and electric wiring
ordering the right size materials
getting materials cut to size off-site
Correct equipment

Use fibre cement sheet shears instead of circular saws.
Ensure the rock-drilling machines, have dust suppression features.
Vehicles (i.e. tractors, excavators and bulldozers) should have a dust collection system
and an air conditioned cab with a filtered air supply. Filters should be cleaned and maintained regularly.
Workshop ventilation

Have enclosures or hoods and local exhaust ventilation (LEV) to remove the dust at the point it's produced.

Abrasive blasting

WHS Regulations do not allow abrasives containing silica. Use metallic shot, slag products (ilmenite, garnet or staurolite) instead of sand. During blasting, containment methods such as blast-cleaning machines, cabinets and LEV should be used.

On-tool extraction

Use LEV that fits directly onto the hand-held machines. This is the most effective way of controlling dust.
Water suppression

To be used when LEV is not suitable. Water should be used through non-electric tools to wet dust down at the point of dust generation. For example, water should be provided to the blade when using saws; just wetting the material is not enough. Ensure equipment and work areas are cleaned regularly with water. Use water spray or rubber curtains around conveyor transfer points.

Respiratory protective equipment (RPE)

No RPE can prevent all silica dust from being breathed in and should be used in combination with other controls. RPE cannot protect you if it doesn't fit properly. Employers should have workers fit tested and trained in their use and maintenance. This is even more important if you have facial hair. It is important to choose the right RPE for the job; use the AS/NZS 1715:2009 standards or watch this HSE video for guidance on the selection and use of RPE.
Quit smoking

Smoking reduces the lung's ability to clear dust and increases the risk of lung cancer.

PPE If possible wear disposable clothing at work. Before you leave work, shower and change into clean clothes. Do not take your dusty clothes home to wash.
Administration Display warning signs if tasks create silica dust. Rotate staff to limit the time they are exposed. Locate silica dust work outdoors, away from other workers. If not possible, enclose the area with floor to ceiling plastic sheeting.
Clean-up DO NOT "clean up" with compressed air or by dry sweeping. Dust should be removed using an industrial HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filter vacuum, which should be cleaned and maintained regularly.

Two things I suggest are :

1. Move to NZ. The air is a lot cleaner here.

2. Encourage the use of PMDs they are a godsend and will save us from ourselves.
