Gangnam Psy

Gangnam Psy will be performing in Singapore on 1st Dec,2012, it will be a free standing concert.
Thanks to Singapore Integrated Resort -IR , Marina Bay Sands, which is organising  the Psy free concert at the open space facing the Marina Bay water front.
within  2 hours,All the 4000 complimentary tickets have already been given away to fans who visited Marina Bay Sands facebook.

Marina Bay Sands is organizing this free concert as part of its special "Give back to Singapore" public showcase.

Maybe Marina Bay sands should have reserved some tickets for children from the lower income homes.
But it is still a good gesture of Marina Bay Sands to organize Psy Gangnam show for free, as should it be a ticket selling show it would certainly be quite pricy, cause as of latest news, viewer-ship of Psy's Famous Gangnam Style on YouTube is going to hit 900 million.
Hope more Multi-National Corporations, not only in Singapore, but also everywhere, would also organize free International Artiste concert and gives the "Tidings Of Joys to everyone." during Christmas Time.

Taxi Driver In Singapore returns S$1.1 million to his Passenger


On Nov,12th in Singapore, Mr Sia Ka Tian 70, a taxi driver returned cash of Sg$1.1 million ($900,000) to a Thai couple who left the money in his cab while on holiday here..
On Monday, Mr.Sia Ka Tian,said he was shocked to find the money in a black paper bag on the back seat  after he dropped the couple off at a shopping centre

Quote from the Straits Times.
Mr Sia, a 31-year veteran in the taxi business thought that "he was sure there was at least $200,000 in the bag,"
After reporting the money to the taxi transport company ComfortDelGro's lost-and-found office, his colleagues counted Sg$1.1 million in thousand-dollar bills. (I am sure the figure must have shocked him as Who would have been so careless as to drop a 1.1 million dollar - singApraise )

"The money is unimportant to me. It doesn't belong to me, so how can I use it?" he told the newspaper.
The Thai couple who had reported the loss to the transport company, met Mr. Sia when they arrived to claim the money.

The grateful Thai Couple presented Mr Sia with an undisclosed cash reward and the company Comfort will be giving him an award for his honesty.
"Finding one million dollars in cash is not an everyday affair and in fact, we wonder how many people would have possibly been tempted" to pocket it, company spokeswoman Tammy Tan told AFP.
"We are immensely proud of him and are glad that the passengers recovered their money."

singApraise to Mr Sia and also another Honest cabby as todate -
It was the most valuable item returned by a cabbie working for the company. In 2009, another taxi driver returned five kilograms (11 pounds) of gold bars worth Sg$377,000.

Freedom to Walk- Volunteers Walked to raise fund & awareness against human trafficking

Read from Yahoo news that Freedom to Walk organized a 15-day, 370-kilometre walk from Bangkok to the Burmese border to raise funds and awareness against human trafficking and to help those who have been trafficked and are trying to survive

 The walk ended on 17 November at the place where the stateless refugees live. It is at the Three Pagodas Pass in the Thai-Burmese border. The refugees living here are vulnerable and at risk of being trafficked. The route that participating volunteer walkers  took from Bangkok to this pass is the same one that traffickers use to get their victims from here to the Thai capital.

 Kyle Ng a Singaporean who participated in the walk is happy that donations continued to pour in, and he had reached his target of raising US$5,000. “I thought I might raise half, but I managed to reach my whole target – and just a few days after my birthday too,” he says proudly. “People were so generous; some donated just because of me. That was very humbling, and I had to learn how to receive graciously. Every morning I woke up dizzy with gratitude.”
