NTUC Income has withdrawn and apologised for a controversial advertisement that portrayed property agents as unprofessional and dishonest, after it met with criticism online.
In the advertisement which STOMPer Aaron alerted STOMP to, a property agent can be seen trying to sell a house, with the true meaning of her words highlighted on screen.
NTUC Income Buzz posted an apology on their facebook page this morning, and explained why they decided to withdraw the advertisement. In the facebook posting, they said:
"We took the decision to pull the advertisement portraying some sales people as unprofessional in the real estate industry. The advertisement was insensitive and unfair to many professional people in that industry. We apologize for this.
"In our enthusiasm to promote the message of honesty, we have not taken into account that professional and honest sales people exist in every industry including the real estate professionals."
Singaporeans have reacted negatively to the video, and felt that it lacked respect and sensitivity towards the real estate industry. Some also described the video as "unethical advertising".
One facebook user said, "I'm utterly shocked and disappointed after viewing this distasteful and misleading ad! It clearly reflects the lack of respect and sensitivity towards the real estate industry!
Another user also felt that the organisation was putting down other professions in order to promote their own. He said:
"Why does NTUC have to put down other professions in order to push up their own profession? Even if NTUC wants to promote being 'honest', 'simple', and 'different', there are other ways to advertise."
What are your thoughts on the advertisement? Let us know in the comments below.

All types of middlemen are of the same breed, including those who profess themselves to be the middlemen for experiencing God.

Instead of coming up with all these silly campaigns against loan sharks, why not just ban all forms of 'licensed' moneylending except loans made from banks? After all, they've already banned chewing gum...

Not good for GDP?

I once encountered this.

Credit A was charged an annual fee. Without asking for your permission, they automatically deduct extra credit which you paid for Credit Card B.

Somehow recruitment headhunters come to mind.

Somehow recruitment headhunters come to mind.

Here's some advice to those who use recruitment consultants.

Stay away from those who demand an upfront fee or who insist that you pay a portion of your salary to them once you get the job.

If you are of a high caliber, this is not common. Those upfront fee type of jobs seem to be more lower or mid-tier ones.
