Silly Singtel Staff Uses Threatening Language

By now I would expect people to realize that whatever that you post on the internet  may come back and haunt you. A reader emailed me regarding this Facebook posting awhile ago, but I didn’t have the time to write about it until this week.

This time round we have Joshua Poh (https://www.facebook.com/joshua.poh.940) who works for SingTel. Joshua had publicly posted a rant about customers who complain on Facebook. You can read his posting here so I shall not eleborate.

I am taken aback that he insidiously cursed and ridiculed his company's customers on his personal FB. I think he fails to understand the meaning of customer-oriented service, and should be re-trained by his employer. SingTel's core function is to provide a service. Managing complaints from customers is part of his job. If he really finds it hard to perform such duties, maybe customer service is not for him.

Asking his customers to travel the world so that they will see things differently? Maybe someone should let him know that countries such as, Thailand, Vietnam, Phillipines and Japan, do not constitute the world.

Some people have no shame.

(Editor's note: I am working on my next article regarding the PAP IB so please be patient. Meanwhile, if you think there is someone worthy to shame, do share with me at sghallofshame@gmail.com or like me on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/sporehallofshame.)

The People Behind the PAP IB – Part I

As a follow up to “Inside the World of the PAP Internet Brigade” (http://sporehallofshame.blogspot.com/2012/11/inside-world-of-pap-internet-brigade.html), this article will as promised, provide insights into the people behind the “My Compass” Facebook Group.

As shared earlier (http://sporehallofshame.blogspot.com/2012/11/here-is-something-about-me.html), being a one-man show and writing part-time has its limitations. As I can only do so much with limited time and resources, please bear with me if the writing style is hard to follow

Jason Chua Chin Seng

Let us begin with My Compass’s main man, Jason Chua Chin Seng. Those that follow the news from the Straits Times and Mediacorp will naturally find this name familiar.

When not busy directing the actions at the secret facebook group “My Compass”, Jason operates the moderately popular Facebook Page, "Fabrications About the PAP" (www.facebook.com/FabricationsAboutThePAP); a page he started in August 2011. A former software engineer who probably left his job to work full-time for the PAP, Jason is perpetually online on a daily basis; seeking out opportunities to defend the party he is so loyal to.

Apart from "My Compass" and "Fabrications About the PAP", he also runs Facebook pages "Let's Discuss Politics" (www.facebook.com/LetsDiscussPolitics) and "I Cannot Take it" (https://www.facebook.com/IcannotTakeIt).

Despite his shameless curry favouring, he once claimed in a media interview that he does not belong to any political party. As all 4 Facebook pages are however blatantly pro-PAP, I wonder what were the reporters thinking when they quoted him. As my previous article demonstrated (http://sporehallofshame.blogspot.com/2012/11/smu-handa-centres-links-with-japanese.html), there are times that MSM short-change their readers by not practicing due diligent in their reporting.

As explore deeper, more skeletons emerge from Jason’s closet.

Jason owns a website “degree4usa.net” which was once flagged by malicious software trackers as a dangerous page. The website is supposed to help users choose the American University that would suit their educational needs. Dangerous site aside, this service he is providing is highly dubious. I simple google of the school featured on his site’s main page and found that the institute (ITT Technical Institute) had been flagged by netizens to be a degree mill. 

Noting the list of educational institutes that his website recommends, it is questionable if his own educational qualifications are legit.

 

If characters like Jason Chua are attempting to shape the opinions of future generations, we have plenty to be worried about. Opposition fans may want to look Jason up for a cup of coffee for the slanderous comments he continues to make.

As for the rest, I am still researching on them and hopefully I can write about them soon. Meanwhile, if you think we share a common purpose, do share with me anything interesting at sghallofshame@gmail.com or like me on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/sporehallofshame.

SMU Handa Centre's Links with Japanese New Religion Cult

 Dr. Haruhisa Handa

(The Sponsor for SMU's Handa Centre for Global Governance and Human Rights)

Below is an intriguing email that was initially sent to The Real Singapore, but eventually found its way to the Singapore Hall of Shame (SHS). It details the shocking failure of both the mainstream media and the new media to conduct basic story research and fact checks.

Bro,

Your CSI articles against ST reporter Miss Maria Almenoar are epic! Standards of msm reporting is really in the dumpster and we need people like you who can show the world why they are the 154^thmedia. I was thinking of doing my own csi on ST reporter Tessa Wong but I think I wont have the same impact as you.

Tessa wong wrote a piece on SMU cancelling the opening of Handa centre for global governance and human rights (http://www.singapolitics.sg/news/smu-cancels-opening-research-centre). Typical shoddy report from the sph school of gutter reporting. If she bothered to do some simple google searches, she would learn that dr Haruhisa Handa (the financial backer of the centre) runs a Shinto-derived religion “Worldmate” (formerly known as Cosmomate (eos.kokugakuin.ac.jp and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinto_sects_and_schools).

Being a typical sham new age religions, Worldmate is a derivative of Buddhism that conducts secret rituals and sells cheap trinkets passing off as religious tokens. Under the cover of charity and welfare, Worldmate extends its influence and cash pool across the world. As they expand into new countries, its devotees increase and so too does their cash purse. I get this information from a 2003 court case involving Worldmate, Dr Harushia Handa and Tojusha Publishing inc (www.wmdata.main.jp/saiban.html). The Tokyo national tax bureau found that Worldmate concealed 6 billion yen of income. This money is collected from followers as fees for the exorcism of evil spirits. Also, Handa was sued by his female followers for sexual harassment! He settled this with 5.5. million Yen for each of his victims. Now they remain quiet as part of the settlement deal.

But organisations like SMU love people like Handa because he can bring in loads of money to be patron of centres and no one cares about where he got the money from. Curtin university set up one such centre thru his patronage (www.smh.com.au/entertainment/opera/behind-every-good-opera-theres-a-very-generous-patron). Handa has also delivered aid to the fukushima nuclear meltdown recovery efforts (huffingtonpost.com/katherine-marshall/311-in-japan-untold-stor_b_1336636.html). I wouldn’t be surprised that at his level of influence and connections to Shinto religion, he is somehow financed by Yakuza.

But we will never know the full truth unless the ST covers the indepth story. But I doubt tessa wong will give me the time of day. I hope this information is useful for you bro.

The questionable character of Dr Handa is shocking and warrants deeper inspection. SHS intends to take this up with SMU and relevant authorities.

But what is equally shocking is that this information is easily verified, and can be surfaced through a few quick online searches. It thus makes you wonder how everyone could have missed this?

For instance, when TOC first broke the news on the premature closing of the Handa centre, some of this information on Dr Handa was posted on The Online Citizen’s (TOC) Facebook page but was it went unnoticed by the public.

 

Alex Au, of Yawningbread fame, was also surprisingly found wanting on this aspect. Grabbing the opportunity to take a swipe at Government, Mr Au could not see beyond Dr Handa’s tag of ‘philanthropist’ (http://yawningbread.wordpress.com/2012/11/12/neither-priest-nor-philanthropist-welcome-here/), and failed to research into how Dr Handa misused and abused these monies and his position.

The most disappointing of all was The Real Singapore (TRS). Pre- occupied with stealing articles from the MSM and other blogs, TRS could not recognise a real scoop that landed on its lap. From our checks with the whistleblower, TRS did not even acknowledge his email. In fact, TRS was not the only socio-political blog to ignore him.

Not being the first choice amongst the local websites was ego bruising but understandable since I just started not so long ago. Nonetheless, it has become a real gain for SHS as I find it news worthy.

So if you have someone to shame, an issue to publicise, a cause to gain support or just something to share, feel free to email me at sghallofshame@gmail.com or like me on facebook at www.facebook.com/sporehallofshame. SHS - Bringing out the worse in Singaporeans.

Here is something about Me

After the last article exposing the existence of "My Compass", I received several requests from netizens asking when the next article will be published. I feel that I have to explain the purpose of my existence and what you can expect from this little blog of mine.

Being a one-man managed blog, there is only so much that I can do as I still have full-time job. I simply do not have the time to post daily. Besides, I only want to post meaningful articles. I hope this little place of mine can Share stories, Hinder falsehood, Agitate hypocrites, Maim Propaganda and Educate readers of the truth (SHAME). If you have any stories to share with me, please do not hesitate to write to me at sghallofshame@gmail.com or like me on Facebook at www.facebook.com/sporehallofshame. My only requirement is that you verify as much information as you possibly can. However, I may not publish it if I think the information is not reliable.

I will be publishing the next article “Who are the main PAP IB behind My Compass” in a few days so stay tuned. For the involved parties, please do not trouble yourself in deleting anything as I have screenshot everything that I need.
