  • Man Beaten By Thugs Told To Seek Own Legal Recourse, Threatened In Front Of Attending Policemen

    Man Beaten By Thugs Told To Seek Own Legal Recourse, Threatened In Front Of Attending Policemen

    Today I learnt something new about the law in Singapore. A poor guy was assaulted by 2 strangers, together with a video recorded by a witnessing neighbour (who show it to the police) and still assailants walk away free after the police spoke to them. And they( the assailants) intimidated me (with the victim) outrightly in front of the police officers with gestures of ‘I’m watching you’. And still police cannot do anything.

    I voice out my frustration to the officers and the supervisor explains to me that it is not an arrestable offence. He continued with I can lodge a complaint and proceed to state court (my own cost) if I want to.

    As for the poor chap who got beaten up for no reason, he too was told to lodge a complain and go to state court for the assailants to be charge with ‘causing grievous hurt’.

    My Wife and I worried now. Court only operates from Monday. What if he kill me on Sunday?

    Just writing to vent my frustrations. Learn something new today. The next time you assault someone, don’t worry when the police come. They’ll tell the victim to lodge a complain and you’ll be ask to leave the vicinity.

    Thank you Government.

  • 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.

  • Orang Islam Di Itali Adakan Bantahan Bagi Kebebasan Bersolat

    Orang Islam Di Itali Adakan Bantahan Bagi Kebebasan Bersolat

    Beberapa ratus Muslim menunaikan solat di luar bangunan Colosseum di Rome sebagai bantahan terhadap apa yang menurut mereka adalah sekatan tidak adil terhadap kebebasan mengamalkan agama Islam di Itali.

    Para penganjur berkata mereka mengadakan bantahan itu semalam (21 Okt) menyusuli penutupan lima masjid sementara di negara itu atas sebab-sebab pentadbiran.

    Ramai rakyat Muslim Itali mengesyaki pihak berkuasa tempatan memberi respons terhadap rasa curiga terhadap orang Islam akibat serangan pelampau baru-baru ini di Eropah, dengan menutup tempat-tempat ibadah disebabkan masalah-masalah yang mudah dihuraikan, seperti jumlah tandas di sesebuah premis tertentu.

    “Kami merasakan orang ramai menuding jari ke arah kami,” kata Francesco Tieri, seorang warga Itali yang memeluk agama Islam yang merupakan penyelaras bagi beberapa kumpulan Islam.

    “Tiada keinginan politik untuk mengiktiraf bahawa kami ada di sini dan kami masyarakat yang aman. Kami terpaksa menyewa tempat untuk solat – yang bagi kami adalah seperti bernafas, jika kami tidak boleh lakukannya, kami akan mati,” katanya lagi.

    Menurut perangkaan rasmi, lebih 800,000 orang Islam tinggal di Itali secara sah dan para pegawai menganggarkan lagi 100,000 tinggal di negara itu secara tetap tanpa dokumen rasmi.

    Ini bermakna masyarakat Islam mungkin membentuk lebih 1.5 peratus penduduk di Itali dan Islam merupakan agama kedua yang paling ramai dianuti di negara yang kebanyakan penduduknya beragama Roman Katolik itu.

    Islam bagaimanapun tidak diiktiraf sebagai agama rasmi di Itali, tidak seperti agama Yahudi atau Mormon, dan ramai orang Islam dari utara Afrika dan Asia Selatan rasa didiskriminasi dari segi kaum dan agama.

    Rome menempatkan masjid terbesar di dunia Barat, namun saranan-saranan untuk membina masjid-masjid bercorak tradisional di tempat lain kerap dibantah majlis-majlis tempatan yang boleh menyekat izin bagi merancang pembinaan atas pelbagai sebab teknikal daripada saranan saiz kemudahan meletak kereta, dan keharmonian seni bina dengan sesuatu kejiranan tertentu.

    Parti-parti berhaluan kanan menyeru agar mengharamkan mana-mana masjid yang dibina dengan dana dari penderma di luar Itali.

    Anggota Parlimen Barbara Saltamartini dari Liga Utara yang anti-imigresen, menyifatkan bantahan itu sebagai “provokasi tidak boleh diterima” yang tidak sepatutnya dibenarkan diadakan di Rome sama sekali.

  • 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.
