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

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

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.

I Am A Victim Of Fake News, Cyberbullies, Says Rosmah Mansor, Wife Of PM Najib Razak

I have been a victim of fake news and cyberbullying, says Rosmah Mansor, wife of Prime Minister Najib Razak.

“There have been a few Facebook account created in my name when I actually don’t have any social media accounts and am not good at social media.

“I don’t even have a smartphone,” said Rosmah at a seminar on cybercrime at Royale Chulan Hotel in Kuala Lumpur this afternoon.

She said those who spread fake news aimed to create conflict and discord in Malaysia.

As the country moved towards becoming a “thinking society”, she said Malaysians must be more discerning and not to be influenced by those who use social media to confuse and poison minds.

On cyberbullying, she said an estimated one in four children daily experienced cyber bullying, which could cause emotional stress and anger, fear, anxiety, and depression.

She added adults, including highly educated professionals, were also vulnerable to cyberbullying.

“Due to the fear of shame, many are afraid to come forward,” said Rosmah.

Between January and June, 379 cases of cyber harassment were reported, according to statistics from CyberSecurity Malaysia, an agency under the Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry.

The National Council of Women’s Organisations Malaysia (NCWO) and CyberSecurity Malaysia organised the one-day CyberSafe seminar todayl to raise awareness of security, particularly of children and women, on the internet.

The seminar is a follow-up to the National Seminar on Sexual Offences Against Children at Putra World Trade Centre in March.

The March seminar had discussed the increasingly common use of smartphones, computers, the Internet and social media applications for sexual grooming and child pornography.

The Dewan Rakyat passed the Sexual Offences Against Children Bill in April to better protect children against sexual abuse.

The law came into force in July,

Topics addressed in the seminar today included internet addiction, laws and policy responses to cyber crimes, and psychological and social perspectives of cyber crimes.

Speakers were experts from the police, the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia, Attorney-General’s Chambers, and criminologists, among others.

Also present were Women, Family and Community Development Minister Rohani Karim, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Azalina Othman Said, Deputy Education Minister I P. Kamalanathan, NCWO Dr Sharifah Hapsah and CyberSecurity Malaysia chief executive officer CyberSecurity Malaysia. – October 22, 2017.
