NTUC Cashier Break Time

NTUC operations department must ensure that part time cashier are given break time according to their work time. NTUC@Admiralty sometimes do not give break to part time cashiers who have work for 6 hours. When the outlet are busy, no break was given to the part time cashier except for toilet break.

This is a violation of work practices. Most company will give workers 15 minutes of rest for every 4 hours work. NTUC Supermarket should understand this and should not abuse the system and allowed a worker to work beyond 5 hours without a break. This is mainly the problem with the management of the NTUC Outlet as it is not within the control of NTUC headquarters.

CNY Pasar Malam at Bishan

Bishan East has organized one of the biggest Pasar Malam for the Chinese New Year Celebration. It has bought excitement to the community as it provide another alternative other than Chinatown for shopping for your Chinese New Year.

But you will be disappointed if you have visited the Pasar Malam as many stalls are vacant with less than 7 days to CNY. One of the exhibition hall was empty without any stalls. There is not much excitement as compare with the ChinaTown Bazaars.
