this year i was not able to go to an jc bec my olvl points were very poor
so i wanted to know whether its possible if i were to transfer sch next year and what are the requirements?
Either privately retake your O levels and get an L1R5 score better than TPJC's 2017 predicted cut-off point, then reapply. Or get all A grades for all your MI year end exams, then reapply to TPJC on that basis.Finally, depending on which Uni course you wanna go and that Uni's requirements, you can also consider taking as a private A level candidate, which if the MI environment is so terrible for you, might be better than remaining in MI, if you're still unable to get into TPJC. But you'll have to ask the NUS / NTU / etc admissions officer on how to deal with your lack of Project Work as a private candidate. And of course, choose your subjects carefully (Eg. H2 Chem is compulsory to apply for Medicine).

The tragic irony. Saudi Arabia is at war with ISIS, and yet, as the following insightful New York Times article (republished in Singapore by the Straits Times) reveals, it was (and still is) Saudi Arabia which corrupted Kosovo (to the regret of the Kosovo's Islamic elders) into a rich recruiting opportunity for ISIS and terrorism. Fools like Trump think Muslims are the enemy, when in fact Muslims are the real victims. What's happening in Kosovo is happening across many countries, and to some extent (as lamented by Mahathir), even in Malaysia and Indonesia.
How the Saudis turned Kosovo into fertile ground for ISIS :

In a discussion about US policy toward Ukraine, Stephanopoulos asked Trump about Republicans providing lethal weapons to Ukraine to help defend against the Russian-backed insurgency in its eastern Donbas region.
Trump repeated, “I was not involved!� no fewer than five times in trying to avoid the issue, which put him in direct opposition to the majority of the Republican foreign policy establishment.
It wasn’t even clear that Trump knew what was going on until Stephanopoulos spelled it out for him.
Trump again dodged, appearing to claim that there was no need for the weapons by arguing that Russian President Vladimir Putin wasn’t going to take action against Ukraine.
“He's not going into Ukraine, OK? Just so you understand. He's not going to go into Ukraine, all right?�
“Well, Putin's troops are already there, aren't they?� asked Stephanopoulos.
“OK well, he's there in a certain way, but I'm not there yet,� Trump said.

[Malaysia] - Gang syndicates often hire ex-policemen and ex-military soldiers as assassins.
At about 3.30pm, four men on two motorcycles, carrying two very likely fully-loaded firearms, rode up to Kandasamy’s silver Honda Accord.
Jumping off their bikes and peppering the car from both sides with 18 bullets, the seemingly rehearsed move was done and dusted in less than 10 seconds.
Police later confirmed Kandasamy’s affiliation to the notorious Satu Hati (SH) gang.
According to a police source, the organisation was formed in the early 1980s by a man who was only known as YB Solo. Its foundations were built on a creed which denounced involvement in drug deals and prostitution.
The gang justified to themselves that staying away from these activities would in some way maintain some sort of integrity.
“Not long after they were formed, some members started going against the creed and became involved in activities considered forbidden to the organisation,� the source said.
This caused rivalry among gang members, and the organisation failed to reach a unanimous decision and resulted in a split.
“Some of them remained in SH, while others who left formed the Three-Six (TS) gang,� the source said. Members who defected into TS started encroaching into the territories formerly controlled by SH.
“When the turf clashes started, one by one members from either side of the groups were killed over the years leading into the 1990s,� he said.
According to the source, these turf wars intensified over the last 10 years, with brutal consequences.
When a gang considers a certain area as part of its turf, the members would demand money from all businesses in the area in exchange for, what they prefer to call, protection.
Ranging from small to big business franchises, the thugs would demand a protection fee, threatening violence if the owners do anything less than cooperate.
“The upper echelons of the gang in a particular area would approach the manager of the construction sites, restaurants and pubs to demand a protection fee,� the source said.
In this case, failing to comply would mean the site constantly harassed by these gangsters.
People interested to join these gangs were subjected to a process of initiation, while some considered it more of an orientation process. Initiation rituals among gangs varied, according to the source, with some involving self-mutilation.
“The SH gang does not have many initiation ceremonies, but pledging loyalty to the gang sometimes meant getting tattoos of specific logos at specific areas on the body. Anything less would not be recognised as a symbol of allegiance,� the source said.
Once in the gang, the members most of the time earned their money through the aforementioned means.
“Only several members who gained the trust of the higher ranking thugs would be given bigger responsibilities such as debt collecting. Only the brazen ones end up pulling triggers against a rival,� he said.
While not all members would be trusted to handle a firearm, according to the source, these gangs have resorted to acquiring gunmen trained in handling the weapon.
“Some former police and military personnel who were discharged for various disciplinary faults sometimes found themselves pulling the trigger for the same thugs whom they tried to take down while in the force,� the source said.
The use of former police and army personnel as assassins has become the preferred choice of many gangs, the source said.
Contact with the thugs would have been established when these officers were tasked to take down their organisations.
The moment of desperation hits when their steady pay cheque while working in the force is abruptly choked and the funds start becoming tight.
“Suddenly, you find yourself broke, but you are very well-trained in handling firearms. What else can they do to utilise that rare ability?� the source said.
In reference to last Wednesday’s shooting, the source said the shooters seemed like professional hitmen who managed to do the job while shooting in each other’s direction.
“It is very likely the gunmen were very experienced and had tailed the suspect for a period of time before the execution,� he said.
Tracing back the culprits of the shooting would send police on a whirlwind as they tried to establish leads into the case.
The source said this was because of smaller splinter cells that formed within the rival gangs.
“These smaller cells that share a similar code of conduct with the parent gang could end up locking horns with rivals over trivial matters that were not necessarily agreed upon by the gang leaders,� he said.

[USA] - Now the executive producers of “The Simpsons� have weighed in with their take in a new video — and Homer and Marge have cast their vote.
“It’s 3am and the phone’s ringing in the White House,� intones the announcer. “Whom do you want to answer that call?�
First, we see the Clintons in bed. Naturally, Bill answers the phone. “The Situation Room? I’ll be right there! Oh, it’s for you.� And he hands the phone to his wife. “Yes, from now on, it’s always for me,� says Hillary.
And then we see Donald Trump, who’s manically tweeting and reading “Great Speeches� by “A. Hitler.� “And Elizabeth Warren tweets too much. Glad I exiled her,� he tweets.

[Singapore] - Imagine you had an workplace accident and your finger had to be amputated, and the doctor just gave you 1 day MC. Sure you'll like to show him your middle finger, except that you can't, coz you just lost it. The majority of lowly-paid, hard-labour, foreign workers in Singapore who get seriously injured in workplace accidents (including the true case of losing a finger), only get 1 or 2 days MC, because if the doctor gives an MC of 3 days or more, the workplace accident needs to be reported to the Ministry of Manpower. So the unethical employer orders the unethical doctor to just give 1 or 2 days MC, so the employer gets to keep his safety record clean and also avoid higher insurance premiums in the future. If the doctor hesitates to comply, the employer will threaten to send his foreign workers to other doctors in future, and the doctor loses customers. And it is the abused, lowly-paid, hard-labour foreign worker who suffers in rich prosperous Singapore.

[Singapore] - Generating and spreading toxic carcinogens in the air is just bad karma, religious superstition is no excuse. Singapore air will be toxic, carcinogenic and unbreathable for whole of August.
Such health hazardous practices (especially if done extra unethically and inconsiderately, such as burning in unauthorized places such as by the road, or burning in areas close to residential blocks) will violate the health rights of others, and may cause tension between the different religious groups.
Christians, Muslims and others will be wondering why these people carrying out such environmentally disastrous burnings, a practice that was never suggested, required or condoned by either Lao Zi or the Buddha, or any of deities for that matter.
The government should take proactive steps to safeguard the security of Singapore and the health of Singaporeans.

[China] - Dutch man went to China to meet his online China girlfriend and waited 10 days at the airport until he almost died
On Chinese social media, the majority of users were keen to point out the apparent absurdity of the man's actions.
The hashtag "Foreign man went to Changsha to meet his online China girlfriend and waited 10 days at the airport until he almost died" has been trending on micro-blogging site Weibo.
"He must be stupid, why would anyone do this?" asked one China user.
"Doesn't he know that everything in China is fake?" said another China user.
"Perhaps she did go to the airport, saw what he looked like, and promptly turned back around," was a theory proposed by another China user.

There are *hundreds* of similar videos (of women mistresses in China being beaten up by wives and their gangs). For every 1 such incident filmed, there are hundreds which are not even caught on film. This particular incident took place just over a month ago in June 2016, Anhui province in China.
