  • Suspicious Man And His China Gang Loitering Outside House, Even Took Photo Of Unit Number

    Suspicious Man And His China Gang Loitering Outside House, Even Took Photo Of Unit Number

    Beware of this man, he and his china gang has been loitering around my area for a few days or maybe longer.

    Few days ago, i opened my door and was shocked to see a medium built china man suddenly infront of my gate. I panicked and couldn’t locked my gate. He don’t seems to want to walk away, so i have to confront him to buy myself some time to lock up the gate. Abit taken aback when questioned, told me his friend stay here but perhaps wrong unit.

    Same day at 1.30am, someone rang my doorbell and as he was looking down all the time, I couldnt see his face thru the door hole. Asked hub to check him out. He stood there for quite awhile and he contl with the door bell. The hub managed to see his face and asked what he wants and he ran away.

    To my surprised, he returned the next morning around the same time at 1.30am. My dear sister who stay opposite my block found out and inform us. This aroused my suspicion and, thus, make me filed a police report.

    Yesterday (Sun morning at 10am), the hub heard footsteps at the door and he went to peep. What shocked him was he saw this man taking a picture of my unit no. He opened the door and confronted him. He kept avoiding the question and kept saying his friend stay here and probably it was a wrong unit. Same excuses given by the other man I saw days ago. The hub questioned him and asked him to show what he has taken. He accidentally show his we chat group on his phone with my unit pic in it and their conversations.
    At this time, I took the risk to take a photo of him and he scurried away.

    When his photo was exposed, my daughter and elder son recalled that they chanced upon him few times within the premises. Son said 2 days ago, he was in the same lift with him and he was holding a carton box.

    Again I make a police report, this time with his photo as evidence and I hope the policeman wouldn’t disapoint us again.

    I plead with all my friends here to be vigilant of things happening around us and look out for this criminal gang.

    *My dear pal, please feel free to share.
    You know who you are and many many thanks for your concern 😘

  • Foreigners Should Not Be Allowed To Drive Heavy Vehicles

    Foreigners Should Not Be Allowed To Drive Heavy Vehicles

    Dear editors,

    In response to the serious accident that happen along AYE near Benoi, I think it’s time for the LTA and Traffic police to adopt the following measures:

    1. Ban foreigners from driving commercial vehicles, make Singapore commercial vehicles companies come out with good welfare and pay structures.

    2. Install a tamper proof speed limiter on all commercial vehicles and that the speed limiter must be sealed with tampered prof seal and sealing sticker and place at a visible position and traffic police and LTA wardens must be trained to differentiate a working and a tampered one. If a commercial vehicle is found to exceed speed limit, impound the vehicle straightaway and do a forensic test on the speed limiter to determine who is the culprit tampering with it and charge the culprit with an offence either culpable attempted homicide or attempted manslaughter/murder.

    3. Install a track if device on all commercial vehicles and pegged to the Traffic police systems so that all vehicle movement and driver’s actions will be tracked thoroughly, if any mistakes if found, remedial action can be taken immediately.

    4. Stop the import of commercial vehicles with turbo engines and high torque/ horsepower. These vehicles are able of going beyond speed limits and order current vehicle owner with such vehicles to scrap and replace them immediately, or modified the engines so that the turbo can be removed.

    With all these suggestions, it will definitively improve driving habits and discipline on heavy vehicle drivers. Banning the vehicles or restricting them thoroughly is not going to solve the problem.

  • Choa Chu Kang Fire – Washing Machine Running Laundry When It Caught Fire

    Choa Chu Kang Fire – Washing Machine Running Laundry When It Caught Fire

    Stomper James was shocked when he awoke to his washing machine on fire this morning (May 11) at around 9.30am.

    The incident happened at his home in Block 455, Choa Chu Kang Avenue 4, while he was still asleep in his room, and his mother was in the living room.

    According to James, his mother was watching television in the living room when she noticed thick smoke coming from the balcony where the washing machine was placed.

    After that, a power trip followed.

    She woke James up, who went to investigate the source of the smoke, discovering that their washing machine had caught fire, with smoke being emitted.

    He quickly ran to the bathroom and grabbed a pail of water, dousing the machine in water.

    After his second pail, the fire was extinguished at around 9.40am, and he quickly informed his siblings about the incident.

    Said James:

    “The washing machine was purchased in 2010.

    “I’m worried now as I have many appliances at home that are from the same company.

    “I’ve posted the incident on Facebook and brought the matter up to the company, but have received no replies so far.

    “Luckily, no one was hurt.

    “But I work in the afternoons, and during that time, my elderly parents are home by themselves.”

  • Protect Yourselves – Here Are The Dos and Don’ts Of Riding Escalators

    Protect Yourselves – Here Are The Dos and Don’ts Of Riding Escalators

    A step in an escalator at White Sands Shopping Mall in Pasir Ris buckled on Saturday (Jan 21), just after a couple with a baby in a stroller stepped off.

    Fortunately, no one was injured.

    Escalator incidents have been in the spotlight recently, with the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) telling The Straits Times in a report on Jan 2 that it had received reports of 63 cases since Nov 1, 2016.

    Of these, 95 per cent of them were attributed to “user behaviour”.

    Escalator users commonly lose their balance while carrying heavy or bulky objects.

    Here are some dos and don’ts while taking an escalator, according to a BCA advisory.

    DO:

    1. Hold on to the handrail.

    2. Accompany young children on the escalator.

    3. Push the emergency button to stop the escalator for emergencies.

    4. Stand within the yellow lines marked out on the escalator steps.

    5. Use the lift instead if you are pushing a trolley, pram or luggage, or have limited mobility.

    DON’T:

    1. Stop or loiter at the landing area, as this obstructs other passengers.

    2. Be distracted by your mobile device, and do not drag or slide your feet off at the end of the escalator.

    3. Play or run on the escalator, or lean over the handrail.

    4. Stand near the sides of the escalator, as soft footwear may get stuck in the gaps.

    5. Stand at the edge of escalator steps, as this can cause a loss of balance.
