Ask a simple question directly

 Someone asked me a question - why are you negative on PD?

This is the kind of nonsense that I get regularly. Why does this question really mean? I learned later that he was referring to privacy of data.
Why did he consider me to be against PD? I learned later that he was referring to my view that NRIC should be a public ID and not kept private.
Here is a smart person who does not want to ask a simple question - why are you against keeping NRIC private? Instead, he asked - why are you negative on PD?
By framing the question in that manner, he is actually being dishonest.
This is how American politicians behave. They twist a fact and present it with words that convey an entirely different meaning.
I hope that people do not follow this bad and dishonest practice.

  1. ❗ *Beware*❗Do not let your emotions cloud your judgment.

    In most of the 'love' scam cases, scammers impersonate an attractive person (who is usually a foreigner) and befriend the victims via social media platforms. Scammers would subsequently persist with stories of falling into trouble or hard times to gain victims' trust and adoration. Finally, scammers will ask for money as proof of love. Once the money is transferred, the scammer disappears.

    Stay vigilant and be careful when befriending strangers online.

    ❌ Do not send money to anyone you have not met in person.

    ✅ Verify the identity of the person you are talking to with an online image search, here: https://images.google.com/

    ✅ Always ask for a LIVE video call with the person.

  2. Going back to the office hasn't been easy. Due to spacing, there are lesser desk and chairs. We do not have a permanent desk as you need to book one day before for first come first serve.

  3. No new updates on bank locations.

    A personal experience. Some time back, there was an urgency to transfer money into another account. After three hours of trying, was unable to log in. Calling their hotline continued being engaged. It was only on the second day got wind CIMB the site was down.
    My next option was dropping a cheque into CITI quick deposit box. Checking out for the nearest locations prove to be a countless hassle. Some banks were no longer at some places but addresses continued to be not updated. Calling CITi'S hotline was spitted with, 'sorry you have entered the wrong info.' The line was cut off.
    It did get resolved at the end but was all the aggravation necessary?

    In conclusion, internet banking has got its typical nonsense.
