The leap of faith: A turning point for personal growth and development? Many of us dream for better things in life. Some even have planned it all out in their head. The only thing’s stopping them is perhaps, themselves.

What say you? How do you convince yourself to take that leap of faith and how did things go afterwards?

Our licensed and registered counselor, Meng Wai spoke about this topic on ClubHouse last Tuesday and had the audience to join us, tune in and share their concerns and experience.

Among the audience, we had several healthcare professionals, HR executives, students, entrepreneurs and graduates sharing their perspectives with us on what’s holding the back, how to alleviate their anxiety and bracing themselves after their big step for change.

We hope that the session became the calling that they were waiting for all these while. Thank you to our audience and speaker for such an interesting discussion.

Your brand and business mean the world to you. The logo, taglines, business models are all your blood, sweat and tears through the long journey of research and development.

In the blink of an eye, another individual could claim your rights as theirs, especially with imitations on social media. What can you do to protect your business? This is where passing off comes into the picture.

Passing off is a common law tort, which can be used to enforce unregistered trademark rights. The law of passing off prevents one person from misrepresenting his goods or services as that of another.

The concept of passing off has undergone changes in the course of time. At first it was restricted to the representation of one person’s goods as those of another. Later it was extended to business and services. Subsequently it was further extended to professions and non-trading activities. Today it is applied to many forms of unfair trading and unfair competition where the activities of one person cause damage or injury to the goodwill associated with the activities of another person or group of persons.

Our esteemed speaker, Ms. Esther Ong also spoke on the elements of passing off and some case studies that relates to our audience. To this, we thank both our speaker and our audience for taking part in our interactive discussion on ClubHouse. We look forward to seeing everyone again!

What happens when an employee suffers from deterioration of mental health as a result from remote working? Is there any legal relief to mitigate this issue?

Before this, we had zero idea that employers also have a legal obligation twords their employees’ health conditions and it’s all encapsulated in the 1994 Occupational Health & Safety Act.

As an employee, it’s advantageous to get to know your rights and protect them as needed. We’re very happy to have Etrus Tan to speak on this topic and how this act can further be improved following suit other leading countries too to protect our citizens especially during this pandemic.

Additionally, if you feel overwhelmed with work, family or life and there’s no one to speak to, you may visit the following entities to listen and help alleviate your burden.
