Ms Tin Pei Ling Facebook page screen grab.

Cheryl Chan, MP for Fengshan, and Tin Pei Ling, MP for Macpherson SMC, have both posted alerts on their Facebook saying page saying that their friends have been receiving friend requests on their behalf from fake Facebook account.
Ms Cheryl wrote on her post on Wednesday (15 March) asking people to ignore the requests and report the illegitimate account to Facebook as she stressed that she did not send any request from her official account.
“This page remains as my official Facebook page,” the MP wrote.

Ms Tin also posted the alert, saying that the fake account had the exact same profile picture and banner, except that it’s not a page and did not have a blue tick.
She also wrote that the fake account has been sending out friend requests to many of her contacts, as well as sending out bail messages in an attempt to get FB users to click on links purporting to give out goodies.
The MP then noted that the fake account has been removed. However, she wrote that there is no guarantee that such account will not pop again in the future. Therefore, she asked people to only follow the official page with “blue tick”.

Ms Tin also posted a screen capture of the conversation sent from the fake account.
The person was seen to be pretending to be Ms Tin and wrote,”How are you doing? Thanks a lot for the likes on my page. I really appreciate everyone and will continue to serve you in taking this great Singapore to the greatest place we ever desire.”
The person then went on by writing something which seems like a phishing message. The person wrote,”Well I added you personally to ask you if you ever heard or got win from the FB reward bonus. I got mine and you was on my list and as a follower on my page I think I need to notify you I have the direct link to the claim. Let me know if you need it, so you can get yours.”
Ms Tin then stressed that the messages do not sound like her and sound like phishing message.

重申“不放心让前囚犯当保安” 有色眼镜看前囚犯   林谋泉挨批 

在上周五(6月8日),蒙巴登国会议员林谋泉一则解释为何前囚犯不适合担任民居保安的脸书评论,引来网民抨击,除了愤慨林谋泉言论已偏离黄丝带运动的精神,也认为政府带着有色眼镜标签有前科者,打击他们重新展开新生活的信心。 林谋泉强调,要警方给第二次机会,说易行难。“如果你是公寓的居民,你会放心让一个在不久前(2016年)有犯罪记录的人当保安吗?有些人不介意,但其他人会。试问有多少家长会让小孩向一名前娈童犯学游泳?”他建议这名前囚犯可以在其他领域如销售或餐饮业任职。 事缘人民党成员乔立盟于本月6日在个人脸书专页揭露,一名居住在波东巴西的居民,在刑满出狱后一直寻找工作。他向新加坡警察部队申请保安执照时,后者鉴于他有前科,以“非恰当适任者”(not a fit and proper person)为由拒绝他的申请。 待业半年  要养4子女 事主向乔立盟申诉,申请德士执照也因有前科被拒。即使已通过保安课程,申请保安执照的过程仍被警方回绝。约30余岁的事主育有4子女,半年来一边找工作,一边打零工养活妻儿,若一直未有稳定收入,一家生计令人堪忧。 据乔立盟指出,事主是前正规步兵,只因在2016年不满妻子被搭讪,而殴伤一名建筑工友,致使事主被判入狱6个月。…

触动高压灭火系统 逾50架航班延误或改道

樟宜机场控制台因触动高压灭火系统而紧急疏散人群,逾50架航班延误或改道。 新加坡民航局于今日(23日)在脸书上发表文告,证实机场航班运营于凌晨12时10分受到干扰,至到凌晨1时40分恢复。期间,多达50个航班延误了至少30分钟以上,9个航班被迫改道。 《8视界》报道,当时高压灭火系统被启动,工作人员则紧急被疏散,但控制台并没有发生火患。 《海峡时报》随后也了解到,部分改道航班则被迫前往印尼韩那丁国际机场或吉隆坡国际机场降落。 对此,乘客也纷纷在网上留言,许多乘客表示当时被通知延误时,完全不清楚到底发生了什么事情。 网友Brad:早前是说控制台着火,然后已经被疏散,现在飞机也开始降落起飞。 网友 Jibran:现在在樟宜机场等待起飞,有机长透露控制台好像着火。 网友TommyNilsen:有谁知道樟宜机场怎么了嘛?已经在登机门坐等两小时了。
