Singapore – The topic of working from home (WFH) or going to the office has gained traction online as more people will be allowed to return to their workplaces from Monday (Sept 28) due to the further easing measures to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

Some people miss going back to the office. “If you love your (work) environment, why would you want to work from home?,” asked Facebook user Paul Anthony Virtuosoh.

Then there are those who prefer working from home due to the absence of office politics. Despite the longer hours and risk of being unproductive, Facebook user Chia Choong Kiat noted that “as long as work is done, there is so much more flexibility and freedom” with working from home.

A common concern, however, was the probability of companies outsourcing the role to cheaper staff in other countries.

Facebook use Sharon Ng noted that, at the end of the day, “it boils down to an employee trust and happiness issue, which many companies do not place any emphasis on”.

Some suggested that a balance between the two would be better. If feasible, employees could work from home on some days and be present at the office for meetings, conferences, and the like.

Facebook user Marcus Shawn’s comment of “everything is a double-edged sword” sums up a situation which has become the norm of late.

Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers

NewsColony Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers © The Independent Singapore Singapore — A group of volunteers from the Mummy Yummy Singapore welfare organisation donated their SingapoRediscovers Vouchers to book a hotel room for a homeless man. The man, who was identified as Jayden, did not have a place to live while waiting for the Housing Board (HDB) to allocate him a rental flat. In a Facebook post on Mummy Yummy Singapore’s page on Wednesday (Dec 16), the volunteers said: “We used our $100 Rediscover Singapore vouchers to redeem hotel stay for him and successfully booked 9 days worth of stay at 3 days per voucher.” They added that they were unable to book a longer stay because of higher hotel rates over Christmas and New Year. The volunteers hoped that they would be able to bridge Jayden’s stay until he got a flat. “Thanks our government for giving us these vouchers which in return we can put them to good use for people in need,” th...

NewsColony JANE FRYER: The judo master who made me the fall guy… aged 97! Jane Fryer is pictured above with Jack Hearn. ‘See, I’d get you round the neck and press on your Adam’s apple,’ he grins, silver moustache bobbing, white teeth flashing. ‘ And if I carried on with that, you’d be dead in a minute’ There is a startling moment in Jack Hearn’s extremely spick and span kitchen, when I’m standing between his trophy table and the wall and he’s telling me how he could finish me off with his huge, bearlike paws. ‘See, I’d get you round the neck and press on your Adam’s apple,’ he grins, silver moustache bobbing, white teeth flashing. ‘ And if I carried on with that, you’d be dead in a minute.’ We have already had a lively discussion about whether he should, or should not, throw me over one of his surprisingly wide shoulders on to his beautifully vacuumed living room floor. ‘I could throw you, of course I could! But I won’t,’ he says.  ‘It’s not fair — you don’t know...
