Many of you must be quite happy registering yourself in the Do Not Call
register to stop cold calls or nuisance calls from marketing people from
disturbing you. I have been informed of the Personal Data Protection
Act.
S37(1) of the PDPA, a message is a specified message if the
purpose of the message or if one of the purposes is to offer, to
advertise, promote or offer to supply or provide any of the following
ii. goods or services or
ii) a business opportunity or an investment opportunity
What is the meaning of all this? It is like that, with the Do Not Call
thing in effect on 2 Jan 2014, if a sales representative is to make a
cold call or to invite a client to attend a seminar or something like
that, and the client has registered with the DNC, the sales
representative can be fined up to $10,000 for making the call to the
client. Damn serious offence, better be very careful who you call.
And it is the responsibility of a sales representative to check the DNC
list before calling. I think you have to pay everytime you check a
number. I can’t believe what I read. I fainted, woke up and relooked at
the message again, and fainted again.
Is this real, that it is the responsibility of a sales person to check
if a person he is calling is in the DNC list? My God, I have no word to
describe this insanity. No sales rep is going to call anyone anymore.
And many of you will not be receiving any calls for fear of being fined
$10,000. A thief that broke into a house may be fined how much? A
hooligan or road rage case when someone is severely beaten, how much
would be the fine? In this DNC thing, making a call can be fined up to
$10,000. And oh, a text message like SMS or fax is the same as calling.
What is happening?

The DNC list program has been in effect in many western cuntrees -- like Oz, where I've been on the list for about 10 years already. It is WONDERFUL because no marketing asshole can call you as they risk a large fine.
Yes, it is the responsibility of the sales team manager to check the DNC register.
We have relatively little privacy left in today's world "Big Data"/ algorithm-run world. It is wise to protect what little privacy we have left.
DNC register? Damn fucking good idea!
Wtf is the big deal, it's been too long that everything thing and everyone one can call you, they should have the DNC thingy done up long long ago.
Matilah for President......
Hi I would like to add this ..
Beside DNC I had been pesteted by those sales rep that doing roadshows for insurances , credit cards n other services ..
Their presences are scary nowasays.almost all mrt , outside major shopping malls ..even ulu ulu hdb n outskirt no man land also can see them...
Frankly most are polite n hardworking while a few are kind of desperado that cling onto u don let go type
..it create psychologocal fears few times a day in me when I go pass them ...
I have no objection they canvass for sales at any place but they should set up prominent booth display what they selling ... intetested party could go forward to ask about more details instead of trying to stop passerby to softsell their products ..
As I say if once in a while a encounter them I m ok don complaint but almost daily few times ..everywhere also have .. nowadays in singapore walk also stress lah
I do not see the purpose for such things. I merely cancel those calls who are not in my contact list. The gahmen has nothing better to do and waste taxpayers money.
But then if they call you using unlisted number then how?
And even if they caller number is known, so what? Report them? And they will be fined? Can enforce the fine so easy meh?
This cold calls nonsense need to be stop.
I travel often and need to on my phone all times as I need to be contactable.
I receive so many such cold calls or sms when I am oversea and I have to pay for high auto roaming charges.Minimum 5 dollar plus just for answering 1 minutes of these unnecessary call.2 minutes ten dollar plus.
Worst ,when I am in the process of making baby ,just imagine receiving such sms or call to ask you whether you need a loan or credit card or a stay in the hotel....
And such calls can also cause divorce or traffic fines etc.Today itself I receive 3 such calls.
Should implement immediately.
Making baby... roflmao
Give this man a tiger!!!
Knnccb.... 4 a moment I forgotten my toddy.
Omfg..... ah neh kee-tang leesonly?
spontaneously chopping head.
Now slitting throat..
Next wat??? Spontaneous love making?
knnccb..... telling hsien long knnBOHccb.
Mr Chua will faint once more when he reads this:
http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-business/agl-fined-for-ignoring-do-not-knock-sign-20131213-2zbv5.html
We all know who is making the calls. Just tell the caller companies to stop. If they continue to call and the recipient makes a complaint they will be fined, regardless of the calls from local or outsource. Make it a blanket cover.
This DNC cannot protect from international callers from disturbing you.
Rb:/ I can’t believe what I read. I fainted, woke up and relooked at the message again, and fainted again./
Sinkies are overhead more and more they are susceptible to "dizzy spells" and regular "fainting" occurrences. The elders usually would cook "pig livers" for their children to relief them of "dizzy spells" as "livers" are "good" for.curing anaemic or insufficient blood level.
Going forward, many sinkies might be suffering more occurrences especially with a likely price increase in several regular inelastic basic needs such as transport etc. Sinkies "blood" likely would be.slowly but surely sucked on.daily regular basis at least twice or more.
How not to have dizzy spell after many "blood sucking occurrences"? No worries though. The super talents loong chong will.be by your sides when you faint so that assistance to revive you will.be ready. Otherwise, if no, some might not wake up any more and thus less people to demand for inelastic basic necessities. The super talents then loong chong might become anaemic because their body system " need" many many times more than.lesser mortals. Little bit not enuf will result in them "fainting" and cannot hold the fort at the helm. So lower mortals sinkies must do less kpkb and be more.understanding that super talents are superior pple who are not subjected to same needs as lesser mortals sinkies and must suppork high pay and bonuses for super talents otherwise their fainting occurrences may be many many times that of Rb.
Mr Bean your blog has turned into a site for gobbledygook speakers.
Haha, good to have a change of tempo and tune, a little variety.
