This morning I had a reflection. We need more kindness and love in this world. Not negativity and toxicity. Please call me out if I bring them. Thank you.

Checks on corporate intelligence platform Sayari show that Ramu is a director of seven companies here. The firms are listed as providing air-con, plumbing and building services.

ST on June 23 visited his registered address in a private estate in Hillview and learnt that the unit has been rented out to foreigners for the past two years. It is currently being rented out to a doctor.

A security guard at the condominium said several creditors have been turning up at the estate in recent months with claims of unpaid loans and defaults on payments.

They were refused access to the condominium unit leased by the doctor.

Ramu previously registered his businesses to a flat in Marine Crescent, where a lawyer’s letter addressed to him was placed at the front door.

ST has made multiple attempts to contact Ramu on the phone, at his homes and at the addresses where his firms were located, but he has not responded.

Previous owners

Ramu took over VVR Plant Engineering, formerly called VMD Integrated, in 2025.

The company was previously owned by Indian nationals Ravi Victor and Ravi Vijayarani, and their Singaporean son, Ravi Martin Abraham.

Martin, 23, told ST that the family was introduced to Ramu by a third party.

“Even my father is not sure who Ramu is. We had a family crisis and needed to sell the company. My father’s friend introduced Ramu,” said Martin, who was speaking from his flat in Clementi.

“When we were selling the company to him, he said he didn’t need the workers. We had 15 to 20 workers then

I did search through and know what are the recommendations but my use case is a bit unique.

I have a Creative iRoar that has "woofers" - 1 woofer + 2 tweeters + dual passive radiators (bi-amp, 5-driver system). Hi-Fi to a small extent and it only cost me $70.

I am looking to buy one more speaker for my gf's, indoor room usage. Sound quality and fidelity (woofers matter?) is most important, portability, battery is not that important. Price range hopefully still around USD70-100.

Thank you in advance.

The retrenchment numbers too big too ugly to hide?

This is a good read. And if one thinks further and extrapolate further into studies and scholarships. Similar feelings felt by our top students who are robbed of university scholarships. I do have good friends from China, Vietnam and India. Uni scholars. Indians and Vietnamese almost all of the are in the US. China Chinese similar but maybe 20% still in Singapore. How much do these foreign scholars 4 uni years where they only mingle with their clique help our country? Followed by 2 or 3 years bond to work in Singapore. And obviously they do not have to serve NS so after JC also not keeping in touch, zero classmates relationships.

Let me guess why they put bicycles there?

My bike is expensive get stolen how?

Why cannot lock at correct place? Bicycle lock heavy leh I buy carbon fibre frame so expensive to reduce weight then add bicycle lock add weight cannot lah.

You believe Food Republic no deal or Kam Roast deal already agreed.

"both parties were "ultimately unable to reach an agreement on the commercial terms" - may also mean one party just did not agree. Right? Word play

Tsk tsk. Immoral pest

Seeking to understand. I was on a flight from Singapore to a ASEAN country. I was seated at the last row. There was this woman in her 35-45 years old seated next to me. When the flight reached destination ASEAN country, air cabin crew told her passport is still kept by them. She will be the last to alight. Then a Caucasian, I think, his features are like Caucasian but mixed Asian/ middle east. Came to sit beside her, public display of affection, then shortly he alighted and head to the immigration himself. The woman still remained on the flight.

Anyone knows what is this situation?

Asking for a friend. His company having reorganization. Company says going to have a Centre of Excellence in India. Executives say this is not outsource or removing jobs. But he is worried. Any one has real experience instead of hearsay?

I told him my Googling shows that the executives seems to be right. It is not outsourcing.

How to find out what are these law firms?

"ST reached out to the law firm which had acted for the credit company to check on due diligence steps that it took to verify Mr Kwek’s identity. The firm declined to comment, citing ongoing investigations.

A second law firm, which had secured the replacement deed, confirmed it is cooperating with the relevant authorities. It declined further comment."

Thank you u/Tyler_Ramsbey for the HackSmarter labs. They are great fun.

I understand some people take OSCP for job and livelihood. I took it for interests. My profile first for people in similar shoes. I am academically-inclined. I have been in networks and security for 10+ years. My role is security engineer not SOC analyst. I learnt c++ programming before. I can understand python code somewhat but not 100%. I did not know cmd, powershell or linux. I do know a few basic commands. 'cd' 'cp' Total hours I spent is around 500-800h. 6 months of relaxed learning, 4 months on 15 hour weekly learning. I completed around 10 machines on TryHackMe, 0 machines on HackTheBox, 5 machines on HackSmarter. 70 machines on Proving Ground, OSCP A,B,C, Relia, Medtech, Secura.

I have not seen any one mention it but OSCP materials for effective learning and the mindset prep is quite good. When you get discouraged remember "Not Yet" I do not know SQL injection. Not Yet. But I will learn it this week,

My number 1 tip for passing OSCP is to read through all the passers post on Reddit /oscp that already answers almost all the things. There are many hints that can be gleaned and information gathered from these posts.

There is no better or unique tip I can mention that is not already shared by others before me. I will just list a few. CPTS is not required. CPTS may be helpful but it may also work against you if you are not clear on the OSCP style. Lain list is more relevant but TJNull list is also good. It is good to bear in mind what is OSCP style like as you practice the labs. This is highly important. Helps you avoid rabbit holes and focus on what is the more likely attack method.

Be prepared to pass OSCP only on 2nd or 3rd tries or more. Don't stress.

I have over 300 pages of notes, I only used 30-50 of them actively. Googling is underrated. Always ask yourself could my Google search be improved or more precise. When you missed things, ask yourself why I missed it, how can I add it to my workflow and how I remember it? For example, when you see an .exe, always 'string' it. Directory busting? Always add a '/' to end of URL.

I took OSCP exam like a battle. Before exam prep, consider using Google, ChatGPT and other online resources to gather information a lot. Try this on ChatGPT give it scenarios you are stuck with on AD and ask for detailed commands and steps for 20 methods to try, sorted according to likelihood. I had 2 backup computers - a lousy laptop and a friend's place if needed. I planned my timeline and meals.

Time management is very very important. Do not spend more than 15 mins on a single method if there is no apparent results. How do you know if you are giving up too easily on actual lead? You don't have to. Come back later after you are done with the other leads.

I shall not ramble on. Feel free to ask questions I will answer if I can. No discussion on exam contents.

I am seeing many threads on Singapore and Malaysia. Anyone who thinks the same as me? Malaysia would have led and lept Singapore many years ago from the start of not for UMNO corruption and its policies. I am not surprised they are doing better recent years. Of course I am also sad for my Singapore.

And a Yishunite friend told me herself a lot of strange things happening there.
