  • ComfortDelgro Sacks Cabby For Reckless Driving After Viral Video Shows Him Reversing Into Parked Car

    ComfortDelgro Sacks Cabby For Reckless Driving After Viral Video Shows Him Reversing Into Parked Car

    Taxi operator ComfortDelgro has sacked a taxi driver after a video that showed him reversing into a parked car at a Redhill carpark was circulated online. In a statement to The Straits Times on Tuesday (April 5), ComfortDelgro’s group corporate communications officer Tammy Tan said: “For driving recklessly, we have terminated the hiring agreement of the cabby.”

    Ms Tan added that the incident had occurred at around noon on March 26. The video, which shows a yellow CityCab taxi reversing at considerable speed into a stationary car, was first uploaded by Facebook user Evon Lim on Monday (April 4) evening. It has since chalked up more than 13,000 shares, with local community groups Beh Chia Lor, Road.sg and Singapore Reckless Drivers also posting the video on their respective Facebook pages.

    In the video, the impact of the crash was seen lifting the parked car partially off the ground, badly denting its left door in the process. The taxi then drove off immediately. The cabby’s “hit-and run” actions based on the video were criticised by the majority of social media users, who blasted him for shirking responsibility.

    But Ms Tan clarified that the cabby stopped his taxi further down the road before returning to the scene of the incident to pass his particulars to a shop owner who knew the car’s owner. “That was not captured in the footage,” she said.

    “We are thankful that no one was injured in this incident and are assisting the owner of the parked vehicle with all repairs.”

  • Mangsa Tragedi SMRT, Nasrulhudin Seorang “Penyeri Setiap Majlis”

    Mangsa Tragedi SMRT, Nasrulhudin Seorang “Penyeri Setiap Majlis”

    Allahyarham Nasrulhudin Najumudin baru sahaja mendapat pekerjaan dengan pengendali pengangkutan SMRT pada bulan Januari lalu dan ghairah meneruskan masa depannya.

    Demikian menurut seorang sepupu beliau, kepada Mediacorp.

    Namun kurang tiga bulan kemudian, Nasrulhudin yang berusia 26 tahun dilanggar kereta api sewaktu menjalani latihan semasa bekerja.

    ‘Nasrul seorang yang periang, kami sering tertawa apabila berada bersamanya…beliau penyeri setiap majlis,” kata sepupunya Cik Amalina Radwan hari ini (22 Mac).

    “Saya membesar bersama beliau. Kami belajar di sekolah rendah yang sama dan di dalam darjah yang sama,” tambah Cik Amalina.

    “Kami amat bersedih kerana kami begitu gembira untuk beliau apabila beliau mendapat pekerjaan baru. Saya pasti beliau akan dirindui,” ujar Cik Amalina penuh sebak.

    Kemalangan itu turut meragut nyawa rakan sekerjanya Muhammad Asyraf Ahmad Buhari, 24 tahun.

    Allahyarham, Muhammad Asyraf pula merupakan salah seorang anggota kumpulan qasidah Al khidmah.

    Menurut laman Facebook Sout Ilaahi, Muhammad Asyraf adalah seorang yang baik dan kedua ibu bapanya yang berada di Makkah bagi menunaikan ibadah umrah sedang dalam perjalanan pulang ke Singapura.

    KAMI HARAP IA BUKAN SEPUPU KAMI

    Seorang lagi sepupu Nasrul, Encik Ridzwan Hakim menceritakan saat beliau mendapat tahu tentang tragedi yang menimpa sepupunya.

    “Setelah bersarapan, kami terima panggilan telefon tentang saudara kami yang sudah meninggal dunia. Kami berasa amat sedih,” jelas Encik Ridzwan.

    “Apabila kami terima berita itu, mereka belum pasti nama mangsa. Apa yang kami tahu adalah dua kakitangan sudah meninggal dunia. Kami hanya mampu berharap agar ia bukan sepupu kami,” tambah beliau.

    BAPA DAN ABANG MANGSA, JUGA KAKITANGAN SMRT

    Abang sulung Nasrul, Encik Nasrifudin memberitahu Mediacorp bahawa berita itu pada awalnya disampaikan kepada bapanya dan seorang lagi adiknya, yang kedua-duanya juga merupakan kakitangan SMRT.

    “Terdapat berita di kalangan kakitangan SMRT, Bapa dan seorang lagi adik saya, sebagai pekerja, mendapat tahu tentang insiden itu sewaktu mereka berada di tempat kerja. Mereka kemudian memberitahu kepada kami dan kami begitu terkejut,” jelas Encik Nasrifudin.

    Menurut beliau, jenazah adiknya akan dibawa pulang pagi esok (23 Mac) dan akan diuruskan di masjid berdekatan sebelum dikebumikan.

    KOMEN DARI CEO SMRT

    Menurut SMRT, kedua-dua mangsa adalah sebahagian daripada pasukan teknikal yang berada di laluan bersebelahan landasan kereta api untuk menyiasat amaran kecemasan alat penghantar isyarat.

    Kebenaran diluluskan bagi mereka memasuki landasan, menurut Pengarah Urusan SMRT Lee Ling Wee di satu sidang media yang diadakan hari ini (22 Mac).

    Pengendali Pengangkutan itu juga menambah, seorang penyelia sedang berjalan di hadapan kedua-dua mangsa sebelum tragedi itu berlaku.

    Bagaimana kemalangan itu boleh berlaku meskipun mereka mematuhi protokol?

    Ini menurut CEO SMRT Desmond Quek akan disiasat.

    Polis juga sedang menyiasat kemalangan itu.

  • Respect The Families Of Deceased SMRT Staff, Stop Spreading Rumours And Pictures Of Their Bodies

    Respect The Families Of Deceased SMRT Staff, Stop Spreading Rumours And Pictures Of Their Bodies

    Bro

    Many people very eager to share about the accident where the two SMRT staff pass away. Both Allahyarham Nasrulhudin Najumudin and Allahyarham Muhammad Asyraf Ahmad Buhari, were good human beings and had many plans ahead of them. As the saying goes,we human beings can plan, but Allah determine everything.

    Many people have shown their frustration and even more have showed support to the family.

    Unfortunately some, who may be too eager to share the news, have shared unverified information about the accident like people jumping down and what not. This does not help the family and the SMRT staff who are present during the accident.

    Then there’s another group who have been sharing photos of the bodies. This to me, is very very disrespectful. People should stop sharing this kind of photos.It does not mean that the photos are on the internet so people have the right to just share it with their friends.

    Losing a loved one is a painful experience but losing someone so young in such a public, gruesome manner is just unimaginable. Put yourself in the shoes of the parents.

    So if you dont mind, stop sharing the photos and spreading rumours.

    Respect the family’s privacy and allow them to grieve. Respect the deceased too.

    Two Trainee Malay SMRT Maintenance Staff Killed In Accident At Pasir Ris Station

    Two SMRT maintenance staff have died after an accident near Pasir Ris station, the transport operator confirmed on Tuesday (Mar 22).

    “At around 11.10am today, there was an accident involving two SMRT maintenance staff along the track at a servicing point near Pasir Ris station,” said SMRT spokesman Patrick Nathan in a statement.

    “SCDF was immediately activated and they have confirmed that the two SMRT staff have passed away. We convey our deepest condolences to their families and will be providing support to them at this very difficult time,” he said.

    DECEASED STAFF WERE UNDERGOING ON-THE-JOB TRAINING 

    The deceased staff are Nasrulhudin Najumudin, 26 and Muhammad Asyraf Ahmad Buhari, 24. According to SMRT, both of them “joined the company in January 2016 and were undergoing on-the-job training at the time of the accident”.

    “(They) were part of a technical team that went down to the track to investigate a reported alarm from a condition monitoring device for signalling equipment. Permission to access the track was authorised,” said Mr Nathan.

    “Initial findings indicate that before the accident happened, the team was moving in a single file on the walkway beside the track, on the way to the location of the signalling equipment.”

    The brother of a signals officer who witnessed the accident told Channel NewsAsia that the signals officer was “traumatised”.

    Pasir Ris resident Francis Dorairaj, who was at the scene, expressed shock and disbelief. “Why were maintenance people on the track when the train was operating?” he questioned.

    INVESTIGATIONS UNDERWAY

    SMRT said it is assisting the Police in their investigations into how the accident happened. The Land Transport Authority has also said that it “will be be assisting with investigation into the incident”.

    In a statement issued on Tuesday, the transport regulator said it is “deeply saddened” by the deaths and where necessary, it will extend assistance to the next-of-kin of the deceased staff.

    TRAIN SERVICES RESUMED AT 1.56PM
