Is there any recourse against movers who stole from us?

Hello, We recently used a local move and the moving guys stole things from us. We've filed a police report and gone through the investigation with the movers, but they are not going to reimburse us for over $10k in stolen items (sunglasses, handbags, etc.). None of the movers have admitted to taking...

I went there again today and this time had the tuna wrap. Delicious!

The bread is really good. Even my wrap today was moist and fresh. Usually the wrap bread can get dry, but not this one. My friends had the pulled pork (my recommendation, obviously) and the Chicken Caprese. Both loved them.

best sandwiches in Singapore

Just wanted to share a good experience that I had this week. I went to check out the new Marina Bay Link Mall at Marina Bay Financial Centre with some friends and we were pleasantly surprised to discover an authentic American deli in Singapore. It's called Madison Deli. I shared a pulled pork sandwi...

Yes, Ifulfilled the terms of the contract, but it's more complicated than that. I just need to figure out whether it's possible for me to defend myself and what resources are out there to support my efforts.

legal advice

I need legal advice so I can defend myself in a civil lawsuit. I already hired a lawyer, but thousands of dollars later and no end in sight, I can't afford the lawyer anymore and need to defend myself. Does anyone know if there are legal resources for someone like myself? (I am not Singaporean or PR)

I guess I assumed the bank might find out when my EP gets cancelled. Since I will require tax clearance, perhaps the bank finds out then? Hopefully not...

Moving away

I am planning to leave Singapore and I have a question about closing bank accounts. If I have credit card debt, will the bank require me to pay it all before leaving or can I keep the account open and keep paying it as usual online? I have a lot of unexpected costs associated with the move and can't...

employment lawyer

I just returned to work from maternity leave and gave my boss my one month's notice due to the fact that we are leaving Singapore by the end of the summer. Because I have been working at this job less than a year, my boss is threatening to sue me if I don't repay the maternity leave. We have a contr...

The boards at various clubs like the British Club, American Club, etc. are the best places. Plus, the international schools have newsletters where current employers post ads to place their maids when it's time for them to repatriate home. I've found those are the best places to find maids with good ...

two maids

Just wondering if anyone knows what the guidelines are for employing two maids. Is there a minimum number of children in the household or annual income? Someone told me MOM has rules as to who can hire two maids. Thanks.

Enfalac here is the same as Enfamil in the U.S. and Europe. Different regions use different names.

I don't think Go Go Bambini is a good place for young kids. All they have (for kids under 3) is a small ball pit. There's supposed to be an age limit to those playing in that area, but unfortunately no one enforces it and older kids are always in there running around trampling over the younger kids....

I think Go Go Bambini is a waste of money for the younger kids (below 3). They just get trampled in the ball pit by the older kids who aren't supposed to be in there. I don't have an older child, so I can't benefit from the other play area, although it looks to be small for the number of kids that a...

Mother & Child Centre at Tanglin Mall had some good pre-natal yoga classes back when I was pregnant 1.5 years ago. Try them.
