Popular travel vlogger Nusseir Yassin, better known as the founder of Nas Daily, announced on Friday (16 October) that his company is looking to set up a second office in Dubai so that it can tap into the Middle East market.

Mr Yassin noted in response to Channel News Asia queries via email that his goal was “to have operations in every country”, with the company’s headquarters still to remain in Singapore.

“We are growing fast in Singapore and now we want to build a second office in Dubai for the Middle East market,” said the 28-year-old Palestinian-Israeli.

He added that currently there are 40 employees working under Nas Studios and Nas Academy in Singapore.

Asked if he would personally consider moving to Dubai, Mr Yassin, who is well-known for visiting different countries and sharing his experiences in one-minute videos on his Facebook channel, said that he would have two homes instead of one.

“I’m gonna be one month here, one month there,” he wrote.  “To be clear, it’s an expansion. Not a move.”

Last year, Mr Yassin and his girlfriend, Aylne Tamir, decided to relocate to Singapore along with his company. Announcing the move in an Instragram post, he noted that although Singapore is world’s most expensive city, but he thinks that “it’s the world’s best place for our purposes: to live and build up the Nas Daily Media Company”.

The blogger along with his American-Israeli girlfriend, who is also a video content creator, first arrived in Singapore in August 2018 when they stayed for a month. During his short stay, he was vocal about how he is “really fascinated” with the country.

Some of the videos that he created while he was here were on how Singapore’s passport is a dream for many, how “you’re not gonna get any road rage” in the country and how its landfills are so “insanely clean” that they look like resorts.

涉嫌参与三起总额高达850万元的房屋贷款套现(cashback)诈骗案,10人今早遭商业事务局提控上庭。 警方于周一(11月2日)指出,当银行意识到有问题时,这群人还尝试骗取总值290万元的第四次房贷套现。 十名被告中有两名产业销售商、两名房屋经纪人、两名买家、一名产业转让律师和三名中间人。 调查显示,案件发生于2014年至2015年期间。 警方指出,产业销售商和代理人在确定了房屋售价后,在向银行申请贷款时抬高售价,将所获得的超额贷款分配给其他的合作者。 申请过程中,代理人还招募了中间人和买家购屋,并在提交贷款申请时提供伪造收入文件。 在两年期间,被告成功获得总值为851万8000元的三笔贷款套现,他们还在进行着第四次,总值为290万元的诈骗行为,使得贷款总额达到1139万8000元。 警方指出,当一名中间人拖欠贷款时,银行变得谨慎了,随后也以亏损超过290万元的价格出售三个房产。 今天,三名诈骗案主脑被控欺诈和伪造文件罪,其中一人面对其他七项和刑事犯罪有关的指控,包括刑事违反信托罪以及伪造印花税证书。 两名中间人被控诈骗,两名买家则被控执行转让契据,而经纪人则被控与他人串通,欺诈执行转让契据。 根据刑事法典,诈骗首脑、中间人、卖家和经纪人若罪成,或面对监刑、罚款,或两者兼施。 根据《印花税法令》,其中一名首脑将因为使用伪造印花税证件,而被起诉,罪成可被罚款不超过一万元,或三年的监刑,或两者兼施。…

飘向南方的悲歌:缅甸未成年女移工

本月15日,《联合早报》报导Casa女佣中介公司,因非法引进14岁缅甸女佣,而被罚5千元。 据人力部文告,有关中介公司未自行对女佣年龄进行确认,而是单纯依靠海外代理人提供资料。当局实在去年7月,在人力部服务中心发现该女佣,后者在接受官方问话时,坦承自己只有17岁。 然而,以上新闻只是冰山一角,在新加坡,又有多少未成年的缅甸女移工,隐瞒自己的年龄,承受着他们未成熟心智足以应对的压力,离乡背井只为养活家乡的父母? 缅国政策:女国民禁出国打工 自2014年起,缅甸国家政策不允许女性国民到国外工作。尽管如此,仍有中介前往缅甸偏乡,哄骗贫穷家庭的子女,出国工作。 由于偏乡家庭普遍贫穷,中介会告诉这些家庭,他们的儿女来新加坡工作可获得优渥薪水,足以养活全家,但却不会告诉他们,未成年出国打工,是违法的。 据新加坡法规,要成为家庭女佣,年龄需至少23岁。但是在缅甸的中介,可以以金钱和关系疏通政府单位,篡改这些女佣的实际年龄。 在缅甸,协助办理工作准证俨然成为一门生意,在移民厅外也有代理,以225新元收费协助篡改护照上的年龄。 由于这些缅甸少女出国需付还一笔巨额中介费,为担心合约中断和赔偿,加上中介警告,他们也只好隐瞒年龄。 早在2016年,半岛电视台(Al Jazeera)即揭露未成年女佣到新加坡工作的课题,遗憾的是,该媒体在今年跟进报导,发现问题仍存在。 发生不少缅甸女佣从高楼坠下事件,引起半岛电视台记者注意,深入调查后发现,尽管政府已严法禁止未成年女佣入境,仍有许多像怀怀和欣欣这些入世未深的偏乡少女,被骗来新加坡工作。…
