Panic Over Unattended Bags At Queen Street And Woodlands Checkpoint

Two unattended bags gave bystanders cause for worry in separate incidents – at a bus terminal in Queen Street and at Woodlands Checkpoint – last Friday.

Chinese evening daily Lianhe Wanbao on Saturday reported witnesses as saying they were afraid the bags – a backpack and a luxury handbag – contained explosives.

Police officers were seen surrounding the suspicious-looking bags, which were later claimedby their owners.

Mr Xu Wei Lin, who was at the bus terminal on Friday, said: “The Jakarta bombing was still fresh in everybody’s mind.”

On Thursday, a bomb went off in Jakarta, killing eight people and injuring more than 20. Militants from the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria terrorist group have claimed responsibility for the attack.

The owner of the bag found in Queen Street was a Mr Wong.

The 50-year-old electrician told reporters he was using the bag, which contained clothes and electrical appliances, to hold a spot in the queue while he parked his electric bicycle nearby.

The Malaysian, a permanent resident in Singapore, said he has been doing the same thing – using a bag to hold his place in the queue – for a year now.

Every Friday, he takes the bus back to Johor Baru, and a connecting bus to Kuala Lumpur to visit his 80-year-old mother.

He said: “I saw the police car, but I did not realise that they were here because of my unattended bag.

“I didn’t expect it to cause any misunderstanding.”

SPF: Candidates’ Campaign In Middle Of Roads Pose Safety Risks

The Singapore Police Force (SPF) has issued a statement on Friday with regards to reports that some election candidates and their supporters had distributed campaign material to passing motorists in the middle of the road.

“In response to media queries on election candidates and their volunteers distributing campaign flyers on roads to passing motorists, the Police advise that such activities are not to be carried out as they pose a risk to road safety,” the SPF said in a post on its Facebook page.

“The Police are looking into the matter,” it added.

The Police did not name the candidates or the volunteers involved.

The website reported that reaction to Mr Maliki’s actions were “swift and cutting”.

On the SPF Facebook page, comments were also critical of Mr Maliki’s actions.

“If that party politician who distributes flyer right in the middle of the road only receives verbal warning bySingapore Police Force, don’t penalise and charge other local citizens to court with jail or fine in the future,” Nur Azzahar said.

“We as Singapore Citizens including rest of the world are now looking at your integrity as the law enforcement authority very closely. We can’t hide from it as its being shared over the social media. No ones is above the law. Don’t forget what the Police pledge means. Hope the IO/AIO/SIO never take sides. Law is law and its not meant to be broken nor to be closed one eye just because they are politians of whichever parties.”

Mr Maliki was also a Senior Parliamentary Secretary in the last Parliament. His constituency is facing of the keenest contest where his team is facing a challenge from the Workers’ Party team which consists of Non-constituency Member of Parliament (MP), Gerald Giam, and Associate Professor and sociologist, Daniel Goh.

NTU Cancels Orientation Camp

One of the largest freshmen orientation camps at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) has been cancelled.

Plans to hold NTU’s union orientation camp this year were axed after safety measures were found to be “lacking”.

A statement from the NTU Student Union says “the organisers were found not to have adequately planned for the camp”.

“Measures to ensure the safety and well-being of our freshmen and students, in accordance with the university’s guidelines, were lacking,” it adds.

An NTU spokesman told The Straits Times that this is the only camp out of 50 others that did not get approval.

“The student union executive committee is exercising their responsibility as student leaders to ensure the safety and well-being of participants,” he said.

It comes after four students were rushed to hospital after suffering seizures during a Nanyang Business School orientation camp last year.

Since the statement was posted on the union’s Facebook page on Wednesday morning, it has attracted several angry comments from students, with some questioning the decision to cancel the camp.

One comment, which garnered over 70 likes in seven hours, said that it seems “daft” to suggest the organisers would overlook safety given the camp has been running safely for 18 years.

NTU student union president Wu GuoYi told The Straits Times that the decision to cancel was made in consultation with the university’s management. “I think it was the right decision… We did not want to risk the safety of the freshmen.”

Such camps are normally organised by ad hoc student committees. In previous years, they attracted close to 200 students. They are normally held in July. Calls for students to register for the camp went out on June 1.

However, registrations have since been put on hold.

The camp’s website and the online application form have been taken down.

Incoming freshman Ng Lan Ying, 19, was disappointed to hear about the cancellation.

“I was looking forward to attending as I heard that unlike other camps, you can meet students from other faculties and seniors as well,” she said.
