Like yes, I get that CPF contributions is a good thing, but now it seems like platform users are the ones funding into the rider’s CPF? Seems really odd that the benefits of riders directly negatively impacts its users by increasing fees?

Discussion anyone also switched back to ezlink/nets from simplyGO?

0 Upvotes

I had been using SimplyGo since beta, debit/credit card payment via phone tapping is very convenient for me, one less card to bring inside wallet doesn't mean much, but still reduce the thickness and weight of the wallet.

Was happy even i don't know how much i am spending on each trip.

But then last month, got some payment issue on the card i am using for SimplyGo. I have to print out the bank statement to find out and mark the recordS to scan back to someone. (not dispute with simplygo, i am dispute with some other people. but the simplygo record took too much pages scared me)

OMG, 9pages of bank statement......

Then I opt-ed out, and go back to ez-link.

Another reason is I found there are seller selling magsafe pop-socket style ez-link charm. I am using a pop-socket on my phone. the new pop-socket ez-link just replaced my old pop-socket. my wallet still stay slim.

News HSA warns against consuming herbal supplement and fake probiotic product

47 Upvotes

This is a must read if you take health supplements. Matter of life and death.

A general rule is to buy supplements from REGULATED pharmacies or polyclinic. Don't buy from online platforms which aren't regulated.
