    Dead Biker’s Dad: No Point Hating Man Who Caused Death

    For close to a year, he thought his only son was responsible for the accident that took his life.

    When The New Paper told him that the motorcyclist, who was then 35, was an innocent victim, Mr Liow Chwee Hor broke down.

    The 69-year-old said: “I feel extremely sad and hurt knowing that my son has died for nothing.”

    Mr Liow Yong Seng was killed in a nine-vehicle pile-up in June last year, caused by a motorist who braked abruptly on the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE) to raise both his middle fingers to another motorcyclist.

    The driver, Pang Chon Seng, 52, was sentenced earlier this month to four months’ jail for reckless driving and disqualified from driving for four years.

    Mr Liow still sends text messages to his son’s mobile number regularly in the hope that his son would be able to “read” them.

    Asked if he will forgive Pang for causing the accident that took his son’s life, Mr Liow said it was pointless to hate.

    “I can forgive him or hate him but it will never bring my son back to life.”

  • Import And Sale Of Emerging Tobacco Products Will Begin Dec 15

    Import And Sale Of Emerging Tobacco Products Will Begin Dec 15

    The import and sale of tobacco products such as smokeless cigarettes will be banned from Dec 15 this year, and the ban will be extended to cover more products such as oral snuff from August next year.

    Announced by the Ministry of Health (MOH) yesterday, the move, which will be carried out in two phases, comes on the back of a ban on shisha last year, as part of efforts to clamp down on “emerging” tobacco products.

    The ban is a “pre-emptive measure to protect public health against the known and potential harms of such products”, said the MOH in a media release. It is also “aimed at ensuring that the targeted emerging tobacco products do not gain a foothold or become entrenched in the Singapore market”.

    The first phase of the ban targets emerging tobacco products currently not available in Singapore. They include smokeless cigars, smokeless cigarillos or smokeless cigarettes, dissolvable tobacco or nicotine.

    Any product containing nicotine or tobacco that may be used topically for application, by implant or injected into any parts of the body will also be banned, while any solution or substance where tobacco or nicotine is a constituent, that is intended to be used with an electronic nicotine delivery system or a vaporiser, commonly referred to as e-cigarettes, will also be banned. Tobacco-containing products, tobacco derivatives, or medicinal products registered under the Medicines Act are excluded from the ban.

    From Aug 1 next year, the ban will extend to emerging tobacco products already in the local market. “This is to allow for businesses to adjust their operating models and deplete their existing stocks of such products,” the MOH said. The affected products include nasal snuff, oral snuff, and gutkha, khaini and zarda, which are chewable tobacco products.

    The ban will be implemented via Section 15 of the Tobacco (Control of Advertisements and Sale) Act. The Act was amended in 2010 to empower the Minister for Health to prohibit the import and sale of such emerging tobacco products. Since then, the authorities had been studying the implementation of the ban. This included ensuring the ban complies with Singapore’s international trade obligations, the MOH said.

    An undergraduate who declined to give his name said he tried khaini in Malaysia last year. “The ban doesn’t really affect me, if I really want to consume khaini, I’ll just cross the border to Malaysia and have it there,” said the 23-year-old, who has been smoking since he was 19.

  • Poignant Post From Proud Mother Before PIE Accident

    Poignant Post From Proud Mother Before PIE Accident

    Yesterday was the first time my kids went to both the wet market and supermarket WITHOUT their Ibu…

    Though a little apprehensive about them being able to go around on their own, I still put my faith unto them, knowing that they’d figure out somehow, with God’s Guidance.

    Having a phone on their own makes things easier as we went paperless – as the list was put into a collage and sent via WA.

    At age 9 (girl) & 10 (boy), they do need to be given responsibilities bit by bit so that when they grow up later, they become better in handling life issues.

    So many I see who are so smart in their education but is totally ZERO and clueless in handling personal and especially HOME Matters.

    We should assign them roles in the house such as who opens and closes the windows, fold their own clothes (Ibu’s style) and many more.

    After such great help, do remember to offer treats (once in a while) to affirm our appreciation towards their effort and help.

    You need to teach them at a young age, bit by bit.

    If you give the wait a great one, I only have one thing to tell you:

    “WAIT LONG LONG …” – for it will never come once they have become accustomed to having YOU doing EVERYTHING for them.

    Kids Lose Parents In PIE Motorbike Crash

    A day before her death, she shared on Facebook how proud she was that her children could go to the market on their own.

    Tragically, the siblings, aged nine and 10, will now have to face the future without their parents.

    Private tutor Maslin Ahmad Basri, 32, and her taxi driver husband, Mr Jumarie Jumahat, 38, died in a motorcycle accident on Saturday (June 13).

    They were travelling on the Pan Island Expressway at about 11pm when their bike was believed to have skidded near the Upper Jurong Exit.

    Mr Jumarie, a motorcycle enthusiast, had been riding his Suzuki Hayabusa, a 1,300cc sports bike, and Madam Maslin was riding pillion.

    They were pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.

    The New Paper understands that no other vehicles were involved in the accident.

  • Mohd Khair: Homosexuality Has Never Been Part Of Human Nature

    Mohd Khair: Homosexuality Has Never Been Part Of Human Nature

    Words pertaining to human lives have specific and special meaning.

    Eat: chewing and swallowing non-liquid EDIBLE stuff
    Drink: sipping and swallowing liquid EDIBLE stuff

    Normal human beings don’t use their mouths to chew and swallow inedible stuff like stones, wood, plastic and all other inedible stuff. We don’t call this act as eating. I don’t know what to call it because human beings don’t eat stones, woods and plastic to live. If they do, probably ravage would be a word that can be considered and definitely that act cannot be said to be an act of eating.

    Likewise, normal human beings don’t use their mouths to sip petrol, diesel, acids and all other inedible liquids, including poisons unless they are committing suicide.

    Likewise for marriage.

    Marriage is a word to describe a union, officiated by an appointed authority, between a man and a woman. A union between a man and a man, or between a woman and another woman, cannot be called marriage.

    The human anatomy itself has been created, and has been there since time immemorial to support one of the objects of marriage, and that is to procreate to ensure preservation of the human race. The sexual organs of both males and females play complementing and completing roles in procreation. This is a scientific fact, and not an opinion.

    For those who believe in the theory of evolution, probably some pertinent questions to ask would be these:
    If indeed homosexuality has been part of human living,
    1. “how come the anus has not evolved into an organ that can readily receive the insertion of the penis with ease, without any ill effects as currently reported by the medical fraternity?”
    2. “how come the female genitals have not evolved to include a penile-like organ?”

    Isn’t it so clear as day and night that even the theory of evolution cannot be applied to homosexuality. The human body has not adapted itself to include homosexual behaviour.

    Simply put, homosexuality, LGBTQ whatever included, has never been an acceptable lifestyle choice. It’s a behaviour chosen by those who simply want to defy nature – what men and women are supposed to do to love, marry, procreate and prosper on Earth.

    There has been no civilisation in recorded history that made homosexuality mainstream except those that were met with destruction.
    Homosexuality is a just a lifestyle choice. It is a chosen behaviour. It is not part of human nature.

    Human beings eat and drink edible stuff to live and prosper. No human being in the right frame of mind will take inedible stuff as his or her diet. The consequences are as clear as day and night.

    Likewise, marriage among humans means an official union between a man and a woman to ensure the continuity of the human race. It is as clear as day and night what the consequences will be when the institution of marriage is skewed way out of proportion to also include same-gender union. Even an unofficial union between a man and a woman is NOT called marriage. One way, it’s called cohabitation. But the LGBTs, unabashed, called their union marriage…isn’t that shameful?
