@StarHub 1/2 also I was standing right next to the entrance on the first floor. You should conduct some survey with the tenants on that floor and they reflect the same.
On a lighter note should we ask BCA to reduce the wall thickness so cellular works on the first floor?

1/1 Thank you for your response @starhub and please note that this is not a random burst out, I cant take blindspots anymore.
I expect you to address fundamental issue that signal attenuation is so severe, even you ask to stay outdoors, will you not install singal boosters?

Is it too much to ask for a working 4G connection to the least, even though this 2025 and we are in #Singapore? @StarHub

Spent 3+ hours completing mandatory training on information security, and despite the excruciating basic videos, filler music, and unbearable skits, the actual learning was too low. Collective time spent/wasted by everyone who must attend these training is just appalling!

@ganshani Even with 96.9% broadband penetration, and digital options, I still witnessing news papers delivered door to door, but the street vendors certainly disappeared! #Singapore

And still newspapers want to adopt a premium model to viewers.
When consumer habits change, you may need to reinvent your product, not just increase (or decrease) the price of the same product

My cell phone rings, I answer and hear my partner’s whispered voice, “Do not come to the office.”
Bewildered, I ask him “Why?”
"The Panamanian authorities and lawyers from Microsoft are in our call center. They believe we have been using pirated software and it is a criminal offense."
I am the President of the company, and legally liable.
This was shortly after our second acquisition in Panama. We had never even thought of doing a “software due diligence” to verify that the licenses in our newly acquired call center were legit.
It turns out they were not. All 75 computers.
This began a lengthy negotiation with the Microsoft attorney. They wanted a penalty for every piece of pirated software. Of course, the genius in IT had not only bought the pirated package the call center needed, he had decided to install nearly every software Microsoft makes onto each computer.
Because, if you are going to pirate what you need, why not pirate them all for the same price?
Our computers had Microsoft Paint and Publisher for the heck of it. This was going to be expensive.
We ended up settling for just over $100,000. We also needed to buy legit software licenses immediately, which tacked on roughly another $100,000.
I aged a couple of years in that month and we added “Software Due Diligence” to our pre-closing checklist!

@rafaquinn Reminds of Southeast Asia days, seen fair share of MS, non-MS sw piracy, when questioned the possibility, I was literally “street-walked” to a guy who created hardware dongles, circumvents the software locks by the industry leader that developed sw for industrial structures.
