say

Three Arrows liquidators asks U.S. #court to force #crypto founders to cooperate
The liquidators said Su and Davies have not yet begun to cooperate in the #liquidation effort, and that they are not only concerned about delays to their work, but the "actual and imminent risk" that the founders or other parties will whisk away 3AC's #cryptocurrency assets.
They are demanding immediate access to #3AC's #Singapore offices and #information about 3AC's bank accounts and digital wallets.

Facebook rated the least safe e-commerce option in government rankings – Singapore’s safety scheme measures scam-combatting capability
A newly implemented e-commerce rating system in the city-state of Singapore has rated Facebook’s Marketplace as the least trustworthy e-commerce platform, behind Amazon and its Alibaba-owned Asian analogue Lazada. The ratings system, known as the E-commerce Marketplace Transaction Safety Ratings (TSR) [PDF], was launched on May 14th by the Inter-Ministry Committee on Scams (IMCS).
From personal experience, my own daughter has been defrauded twice via Facebook Marketplace. My own dealings with Amazon have not been bad, as they at least have a call centre which sorts things out for you. On Facebook’s side, they have zero interest in sorting anything out, as it is mostly user to user sales. Locally we also have a marketplace called Bid or Buy, and they can act as the middle-person by accepting the client payment, you dispatch the goods, and then withdraw the funds from them if the buyer has received them in order. This has worked very well for me, as it also assures me that an actual payment has been made. I’d happily part with a small percentage for this service, as it gives the buyer some peace of mind too.

December 1st - A Day to Write To Prisoners!
December 1st is Prisoners for Peace Day. On this day (and every day) we encourage you to show #solidarity with the #activists and #ConscientiousObjectors imprisoned due to their #peace work and their refusal to take #arms and perform #military service.
This year we want to highlight and denounce how countries like #Singapore, the Republic of #Korea, #Eritrea and #Tajikistan continues to prosecute and imprison conscientious objectors.
Find a list of #prisoners for peace here, download the list here or below.
As we get closer to this day, what can you do?
We have been told repeatedly by people who have been sent messages of solidarity while in #prison, either via #letters or solidarity actions, that the moral support of like-minded people has been invaluable. Your solidarity is crucial to remind the #imprisoned refusers and peace activists that they are not alone and that we are aware of the significance of their #resistance. On this day,
- Join many others from across the world and write to those imprisoned for their peace work and conscientious objection.
- Encourage your friends, peace group, student, faith or community group to organise a card-writing session (online, or if the Covid-19 regulations allow, physical).
- Help us spread the word on social media. Use the hashtag #PfPday21 and post your messages of solidarity with prisoners for peace on social media, and invite others to write to those in #jail.
If you have details of other prisoners for peace not yet listed, please write to info@wri-irg.org.
#singapore regime: if you are obese, a drug addict, or a heavy smoker, free medical treatment for you. Otherwise you pay... if you are fully vaccinated except one experimental vaccine. Do practitioners realise they've made a vow even to serve enemies from the battlefield? What on Earth is going on? Hospitals should not be run for and by foreign pharmaceutical companies.
Wrongly assuming that these jabs will magically, miraculously, curb the spread (look at #singapore or the #uk ...) https://bkhome.org/news/202111/the-act-hits-100-vaccinated.html we need better #vacines and without the #patents ... #patent #monopolies kill people

#COVID19 has already been around for more than 2 years and it'll carry on spreading for another 2+ years because figures we have from #singapore and #israel (very high vaccination rates) suggest we need vastly better vaccines, not just more people vaccinated.
