This Lamborghini Driver Fined $100 For Parking At Loading Bay

The driver of a flashy green Lamborghini was issued a summons for parking at a loading bay next to Block 219A Bedok Central on May 16 at around 2.54pm.

In a photo sent by Stomper RP, the summons slip can be seen on the bottom left of the car’s front windscreen.

There was a cargo vehicle beside the Lamboghini, but is it unclear if it was blocked by the sports car.

The Stomper said that the Lamboghini was parked at the loading bay for around two hours.

For that, the driver was fined $100.

Ridjal Noor: Why Malay/Muslim Community Largely Apathetic Over Ramadan Bazaar Issue?

The first question:
Why are some quarters in the community so busy defending the issue of the bazaar Ramadan? Every day campaigning and raising questions, and brainstorming for solutions.

Because they are trying to preserve the quality and feel and integrity of this yearly bazaar that’s special and unique to the community.

The second question:
But if the community feels so strongly against what’s happening today, then just vote with your spending dollar lah, right? Don’t spend there and the organisers will learn their lesson and learn to respect the laws of the land, correct? People power and all that, right?

Unfortunately, no. This is the hardest of change to bring about.

This is why only some quarters are campaigning. The rest are still happily, blissfully ignorantly heading down and voting with their dollars that they don’t care. The herds and their mentality. Sometimes it seems, you just can’t save the community from itself.

They accept the erosion of values over time without batting an eyelid. They only stop to make viral make viral certain issues. Other than that they steamroll over every bump in the road and move on undeterred, uncaring for the issues dear at heart to the community at large.

So I agree with Sadali Ami. The community gets the leaders it deserves. And you can’t save the community from itself.

Mohd Khair: Singaporeans Are Capable Of Living Together Respectfully, Beyond Mere Tolerance

it is very HEARTENING indeed when Non-Muslim Singaporeans demonstrate deep understanding and empathy on the issues surrounding the ambiguous halal status of bazaar at Geylang Serai organised in the month of Ramadhan.

Read the screenshots shared here in this album. They show genuine concern of Non-Muslim Singaporeans on the issue of non-halal status of some foodstalls at Geylang Serai Bazaar, organised in the month of Ramadhan.

Such demonstration of care and concern is a fine example of how diversity is celebrated in the multiracial and multireligious society of Singapore.

Underlying such expression of understanding and empathy is the value of RESPECT, going beyond tolerance. Such thinking also reflects maturity living harmoniously together. Together, regardless of race, language or religion, the multiracial and multireligious society of Singapore should move more in this direction in living harmoniously with one another.

This album is saved here on this HCRS group as it reflects deep halal discernment among Non-Muslim Singaporeans towards the basic dietery needs of the Muslim consumer. Such discernment is very highly appreciated by Muslims who care so deeply on matters pertaining to halal foods.

Bazaar Ramadan Controversy Unnecessary, More Transparency Needed From PAP MP

Yang Berhormat Ahli Parliament Geylang Serai

Call the Ramadan Bazaar at Geylang Serai by any name, it doesn’t matter. Few will also object if you want to open it to those who want to sell non-halal food.

But do be upfront. Be transparent and please inform the public so as to avoid confusion and creating a controversy. An unnecessary one too, that should be best avoided especially in the month of Ramadan.

Most of us including myself have always thought that the Bazaar which coincides with Ramadan only sell halal food; so try to appreciate how upsetting it could be when we discover otherwise.

To matter matters worse, you seem to be taking the high moral ground and trying to pin the blame on us insinuating that we are against inclusiveness.

We can assure you that we are all for inclusiveness and multiracialism and have no objection to change the nature of the bazaar to include sale of non-halal food.

But don’t do it surreptitiously.

My regrets for speaking so plainly in the month of Ramadan.
