  • 3 Arrested For Riding ‘Modified’ E-Scooters Over 100kmh, Records States Fastest Clocked Was 130kmh

    3 Arrested For Riding ‘Modified’ E-Scooters Over 100kmh, Records States Fastest Clocked Was 130kmh

    Three men have been arrested for dangerous driving after they were caught riding their electric scooters at speeds of more than 100kmh.

    Police said that the three, aged between 32 and 37, were arrested for dangerous driving along Nicoll Drive last Saturday (Oct 14) at 2.05am. Investigations are ongoing.

    Channel NewsAsia understands that the e-scooters were travelling at speeds of more than 100kmh.

    Facebook group Use Your RoadSense reported that the highest speed clocked by the e-scooters was 130kmh, although Facebook users who commented on the post expressed incredulity that the personal mobility devices could reach such speeds.

    “All road users are urged to drive and ride safely and to abide strictly to traffic rules and regulations,” police said. “Such dangerous and inconsiderate riding behaviour has to be taken seriously as it endangers the rider and other road users. The Police will not hesitate to take firm action against such offenders.”

    There were 90 accidents involving power-assisted bicycles and personal mobility devices for the first six months of this year, resulting in four deaths and about 90 injuries.

  • 3 Arrested For Setting Off ‘Dangerous Fireworks’ On Top Yishun Carpark On Deepavali According To Police Statement

    3 Arrested For Setting Off ‘Dangerous Fireworks’ On Top Yishun Carpark On Deepavali According To Police Statement

    Three men in their 30s have been arrested for setting off dangerous fireworks at a multi-storey carpark in Yishun, the police said in a statement on Tuesday (Oct 24).

    The men, aged between 30 and 32, had set off the fireworks at the top deck of the carpark at Block 419A, Yishun Avenue 11, at 12.07am on Deepavali (Oct 18).

    After extensive investigations, officers from Ang Mo Kio Police Division identified the three men involved in the accident.

    Two of them were arrested on Monday (Oct 23), while a third was arrested on Tuesday.

    Investigations are ongoing.

    If convicted of the offence of discharge of dangerous fireworks, they can jailed for up to two years and/or fined between $2,000 and $10,000.

    Last Friday, another man was arrested for setting off fireworks on the same day at a Housing Board block in Ang Mo Kio.

    The 37-year-old was arrested two days after the police were alerted to the case.

    The use of fireworks in Singapore was first regulated in 1968, when rocket-type fireworks were banned after they were found responsible for a third of the 150 fires that broke out during Chinese New Year that year.

    In 1972, this became a total ban with The Dangerous Fireworks act, which had stricter penalties.

  • Boy With Autism Went Missing At Childcare, My First Skool’s Outing

    Boy With Autism Went Missing At Childcare, My First Skool’s Outing

    Parents, do you have any bad experiences with the child care, My First Skool? It is so scary that the teacher only realized that the autism boy went missing after the boy was found at Yishun MRT station.

    ***

    This is what happen in my son school today (24 October 2017). School name is My First Skool (Blk 140 Serangoon North Ave 2).

    10.48am – I received a call from school teacher saying that my son is missing from school.

    10.53am – Yishun mrt staff called up saying that my son is there.

    Thereafter i rushed to Yishun and yes is really my son. Really thanks god he is fine. So after that i went back to school and i hope i can talk to the school principal and teachers nicely. But what they told us is really driving us crazy. Below is what the class teacher told us.

    10.15am – She bought half of the class students which is around 7 students to outside the class to water and clear the plants.

    10.30am – All students back to class.

    10.31am – She found that my son is missing.

    And by this time i go more crazy… I was thinking the timing is not tally. So i question back.

    Me : Yishun mrt called us at 10.53am and told us my son is there so is impossible he can took bus 73 go to Ang Mo Kio mrt then to Yishun mrt.

    Principal : Teacher please think carefully.

    Teacher : I maybe remember the timing wrongly.

    At this point i went really crazy and told them off. Please stop making up story! So you dun really know what time my son went missing?????? If now i cant find my son how??? What you going to do???

    All i ended the conversation with them.

    I know someone will ask why my son will do all this when he is big enough to know this is wrong. But please note he is an autism kid and he been in this school since toddler, principal and all teachers in the school know about his situation.

    And ya as a parents i did ask my son to say sorry to the teachers as it is wrong to run away from school.

    I seriously need thanks AWWA teachers teaching my son to remember my contact number if not i might not be able to find son and i might have lost my son forever.

    Thanks god my son is fine.

    Everyone who read this post please help to like and share. This can happen to my son it can also happen on other kids in the school. This is really unacceptable.

  • Over Representation Of One Particular Community In SPF And SCDF

    Over Representation Of One Particular Community In SPF And SCDF

    The truth of the matter is, our boys in the SCDF (especially the firemen) and the SPF are the ones who are doing national service for real.

    Day in and day out they face real-life situations, risking their lives.

    And guess what?

    One particular community is over represented in both the services – way above its national percentage.

    But they hold only junior ranks even though many amongst them are not lacking in academic and physical qualifications.

    Strangely though, the paper generals and admirals who never face real emergencies are the ones rewarded with juicy appointments, earning millions, when they leave the services – with some even becoming ministers.

    Biker Assisting Police Investigations After Performing ‘Donut’ Stunt Around Groom At Wedding

    A 26-year-old biker is assisting police with investigations after a video of a motorcycle stunt being performed around a groom at a carpark went viral.

    In the video of what happened that was posted on Facebook pages All Singapore Stuff and ROADS.sg, the biker can be seen revving the engine of his motorcycle while going in a stationary circle around the groom.

    The stunt created a thick column of smoke and left a huge black ring on the ground of the carpark.

    At the end of the video, the biker, who was clad in a blue jacket, rode away from the scene.

    Around two weeks after the video made its rounds on social media, the biker was identified and tracked down by police.

    Said a police spokesman with regard to what happened:

    “The 26-year-old rider has been identified and is currently assisting Traffic Police in investigations.

    “If convicted for the offence of Rash Act under Section 336(a) of the Penal Code, Chapter 224, the offender shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to 6 months, or with fine which may extend to $2,500, or with both.”
