  • Woman Driver Runs Over Dog, Shows No Remorse And Drives Away Without Helping

    Woman Driver Runs Over Dog, Shows No Remorse And Drives Away Without Helping

    Some woman just ran over one of our dogs at the shelter with her car. When confronted, she said, “It’s just a dog, fuck you.” And then she drove off. We’re filing a police report. Please help to share this and help us find this woman and bring her to justice. Such cruelty cannot be tolerated in our society.

    Edit: The car plate number is: SJR9248E

    My apologies for not providing more info. Yang yang is a really sweet dog who loves his pats and treats. When the car ran him over, the wheel rolled over him and he was also hit several times by the mud guard as the driver didn’t stop, while he struggled under the car. This incident took place right outside our shelter and in front of us and several volunteers witnessed it. This happened in broad daylight at approximately 10.30AM at Pasir Ris Farmway 3 on a road that is hardly ever busy with very few cars passing by at any one time.

  • Condo Resident Cheats Taxi Driver Of Fare, Threatens To Lodge Complain With Taxi Company

    Condo Resident Cheats Taxi Driver Of Fare, Threatens To Lodge Complain With Taxi Company

    All taxi drivers. Please beware of this lady.

    She took taxi from Clifford center to a condo in Tanjong Rhu and left without paying the fare. She complained that the driver took long route and want to lodge a complain and refuse to pay and tried to run away.

    The driver asked the security guard at the condo about her and he said she does not stay there.

    Checked with the taxi company and the reply was no complain was lodged and obviously she is trying to take a free ride. Tried to make a police report and the police said they cannot do anything about it unless she repeats many times.

    There is nothing that can be done so just want to make this post to warn other taxi fellows and also shame her. It’s sad that there are such people taking advantage of others.

  • He Helped Hide Bullet Fired During Game

    He Helped Hide Bullet Fired During Game

    While on duty at the Tuas Checkpoint in Aug last year, a Certis Cisco corporal decided to have some fun with his revolver.

    But his firing of the weapon led to a series of attempts to cover up the offence and eventually got his colleague fired, fined and jailed.

    Last Aug 13, Gregory Lai Kar Jun, 23, and his then-colleague, Muhammad Dzul Adhar Azmi, who was also a Certis Cisco corporal at that time, were at an observation point at the Checkpoint.

    Lai took out his revolver to play a game similar to Russian roulette.

    Dzul, now 22, was nearby when Lai fired one shot.

    Instead of reporting it to the authorities, Dzul kept mum and even tried to help his friend cover his tracks.

    But they were caught and Dzul was jailed three weeks and fined $2,000 yesterday.

    He pleaded guilty to one count each of intentionally obstructing the course of justice and failing to give information to the police about the rash act Lai had allegedly committed.

    Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) Sarah Shi said Lai placed a bullet into the chamber of his revolver at around 2pm on Aug 13 last year before pulling the trigger.

    The weapon did not fire at first, but it went off when Lai pulled the trigger again.

    Lai later found the used bullet under a table at the observation point and took it.

    DPP Shi said: “Lai told the accused that he had an idea to put one bullet in a toilet bowl, following which he would claim that he had lost two bullets while using the toilet.”

    Dzul agreed to help him and they planned to get rid of the used bullet.

    DPP Shi told District Judge Crystal Ong that Lai hatched a plan to hide it in a traffic wand and Dzul agreed to help him.

    After concealing it in the wand, Lai went to a nearby restroom and threw a second bullet into a toilet bowl.

    He then reported the matter to the Tuas Checkpoint operations room.

    In the meantime, Dzul retrieved the used bullet from the traffic wand and placed it inside a cigarette box.

    Police officers conducted their investigation and tried to look for the bullet at around 8.50pm that day.

    Dzul and Lai also took part in the search.

    DPP Shi said Dzul took the discharged round to Bedok Reservoir and threw it into the water at around 2am the next day.

    SERIOUS OFFENCE

    Stressing that Lai’s alleged offence was a serious one, she urged Judge Ong to jail Dzul between one and two months, and fine him $2,000.

    Dzul’s lawyer, Mr Rajan Supramaniam, told the court his client had lost his job with Certis Cisco due to his offences and is now working as a truck assistant.

    He added Dzul had been blinded by his loyalty to Lai and asked for his client to be given the minimum sentence.

    Lai’s case is still pending.

    For intentionally obstructing the course of justice, Dzul could have been jailed up to seven years and fined.

    And for failing to give information to the police about the rash act Lai had allegedly committed, he could have been jailed up to six months and fined.

  • Angry Foreigner: Foreign Workers Can Screw Singapore If They Continue To Be Treated Like Dirt

    Angry Foreigner: Foreign Workers Can Screw Singapore If They Continue To Be Treated Like Dirt

    My dear Singaporean friends, please excuse this rant but I am royally pissed this evening.

    It is not usual for me to use expletives on Facebook but today I really do feel the urge with two particular reasons.

    dave-appleton-1

    Firstly, I was clearing out some of my stuff from the old house in SG and the boys were watching some Mediacorp drivel that they produce pretending it to be “Entertainment” I believe it was not a quiz show per se with real contestants, rather a pseudo quiz staffed with people who imagine themselves to be celebrities.

    About the final question was “What makes you happy to be Singaporean?” One of them replied “That we are not Malaysian”. The expletive that I am avoiding in this case would refer to the aforementioned person as an arrogant player of the pink trombone. Seriously? Singapore that great country whose citizens venture into neighbouring countries and have sex with their cars in order to get more cheap fuel into them? Where Mediacorp “entertainment” is anything but?

    The second was the way the Singaporean side of the causeway is being run. After 9.30 p.m. there are two feeds onto the causeway for cars, over the viaduct from the BKE or up the ramp from Woodlands road / Woodland Central. Each of these is funnelled into a specific lane and they are usually manned pretty much equally.
    Tonight, I joined the queue over the viaduct at about 3.00 a.m. It was SLOW. The sign said HEAVY TRAFFIC INTO JB. I reached passport control at 4.45 a.m. The reason? The channel that the viaduct feeds into had TWO booths open while the other channel had about eight open. There wasn’t really much traffic – it was simply poor load balancing. All kudos to the officer in charge of handling the manning of the booths, he was obviously busy handling him own interests instead. SO I finally get home to loved ones around 5.15. Thanks a lot. (See the cheeky reference I slipped in there?)

    Both annoy me – but the thing that annoys me far more is that there was an almost stationary jam in the bike lane.

    I find it odd that Middle Eastern countries are criticised for their treatment of foreign workers but everybody keeps mum on Singapore’s attitude.

    Without the tens of thousands of Malaysians who come in by bike and bus every day the Singapore economy would be screwed. How do they reward these brave people who ride through hot sun and torrential rain to power the Singapore economy? My putting in place such a inefficient system that the jam for bikes can be up to two hours EVERY DAY. Rain or shine. And today it was still jammed at 4.45 p.m. when I left.It is getting worse.

    Shame on you for this Singapore. I really feel that you can do better. You don’t pay enough for Singaporeans to be able to survive doing these jobs, but you treat the heroes who have a similar enterprising spirit to those who built your country, the construction workers, the domestic helpers, the shipyard hands – you treat them all like dirt, while you sit in a nice air-conditioned office feeling smug.
