We have been attending a church at Textile Centre for more than a year now., What we experience at this church resembles cult-like practices.

Church Leaders judge you as You Do Not Love God enough, if you:

1. Do not participant/involve in Church activities.
2. Do not act/talk/walk like them.
3. Do not serve the Church.

Cult-like practices that we experience thus far:-

1. Accountability to Man (members), instead of Accountability to God. reporting system to Pastoral/Leaders (akin to Communist Party)

2. Inner Circle ("in-the-faith"membership of some sorts), versus those who are non-carbon copy church goers.

. 3. Social separations between in-the-faith members and non-carbon copy church goers. Ostracising those who are different from them.

4. Church goers must become a carbon copy, in order to have meaningful connections/date another church member.

5. Church goers are required to gain approval/satisfy Life Group leaders /pastors to date another church member.

6. Leaders/Pastors deciding for its members what their truth is (imposing"truth" on others), deciding what their god experience should be, deciding what they can believe or cannot believe, who you can or cannot date/love

7. Whenever we ask/comment on their practices, they divert topic.

Caution: the church targets Gullible Naive young audience (ie young people, campus students.)

Maybe Apple Maps can only provide an approximate location for the stations until they are fully opened, but it looks like the 2 closest exits of both stations are only 5 mins apart, anyone knows why LTA will design it this way?

I called a Grab pickup from Tiong Bahru Plaza yesterday and in the app, it displayed a license number TCA1234A belonging to a ‘multi colour’ Toyota Altis.

When the app showed that the vehicle had arrived, I could not see any car with that license number nor any ‘multi Color’ vehicle (which I was looking forward to seeing!)

Called the driver and it turned out that he was right in front of me, the system was displaying an incorrect license number

Has anyone else experienced this? I wonder how often this happens

Talk about your day. Anything goes, but subreddit rules still apply. Please be polite to each other!

If the situation is as such, do you think younger generations would take up the trade from their older generation?

1. Controlled rental from and by the government
2. Can only hire a maximum of 2 foreign workers to help man the stall
3. No subletting allowed
4. Government co pays initial capital input up to $2000 which is payable after 2nd month of operations with interest fee (optional clause)
5. Washing and other maintenance (pest control, refuse or recyclable, etc.) is co paid by government, and shared with all stall holders equally
6. In-house MCST with office onsite to manage cleaners and all other amenities like toilets, staircases, etc.

If being your own boss and loving the trade of being a hawker can somewhat guarantee you a take home pay of $4-6000 per month (maybe this salary is reasonable after the 13th month of being self employed), would locals be encouraged to keep the hawker culture alive?

I hope to consolidate relevant ideas and bring it up to government bodies

Thanks
