  • Suspicious Man Loitering Around Void Deck In Sengkang, Parents With Kids To Be Wary

    Suspicious Man Loitering Around Void Deck In Sengkang, Parents With Kids To Be Wary

    Salam everyone.. Just wanted to share something that happened to me this morning (5 July) at Fernvale, Sengkang West Way.

    After sending my 2nd daughter off through her school van, me and my youngest daughter proceeded to take the lift back home.

    Out of nowhere, a guy who looks like a chinese national, hop on the same lift as me looking rather suspicious.

    This was the same guy who was lurking around the void deck when I was waiting to fetch my daughter from her school van yesterday. Moreover, he was wearing the exact same shirt as the day before.

    He pressed the 13th floor but throughout the journey up, he kept glancing towards my youngest daughter.

    I felt uneasy and alighted from the lift. Surprisingly, the lift stopped just a storey above me. I quickly went back home to inform my husband who was fortunately on off today about the incident in the lift.

    While discussing, I just had the intuition to peep through the peephole and to my horror, that same guy was lurking just outside my house!

    I hid away but Hubby decided to confront the guy to ask for his intention for standing in front of our house. He claimed to be ‘working’ and is here everyday but Hubby called his bluff asking where is his town council shirt then and if he’s not with the town council, do provide his supervisor’s contact details. When he could not answer all those queries, Hubby threatened to call the police. The guy immediately said sorry and ran down the stairs.

    That whole incident send goosebumps all over my body.

    Hubby did call the police to inform them about the matter. The guy was about 170cm-ish aged probably in the late 30s/ early 40s wearing a grey nike shirt and cream coloured shorts. The only mistake was hubby forgot to snap a photo of the guy as he was charging his phone.

    The police mentioned that they will step up the patrolling and would only go through footages from cctv cameras at the staircase landing should the guy appear again.

    Sharing this here so that we can all be extra vigilant when we’re bringing our kids outside.

  • LTA: No Collision On The Sengkang LRT Line

    LTA: No Collision On The Sengkang LRT Line

    You might have come across a The Straits Times article today about 2 LRT trains colliding on the Sengkang line last evening (3 Jul 2017).

    LTA and SBS Transit Ltd would like to clarify that the article is erroneous and misleading, as there was no collision on the Sengkang LRT system.

    The incident last evening involved a coupled two-car train which had stalled in between the Sengkang Town Centre and Renjong Stations. The two Light Rail Vehicles were travelling as one train on the system.

    The sudden stalling may have caused some passengers who were not holding onto the standing poles/grab bars to lose their balance, and may have given the wrong impression that the trailing train-car had hit the one in front. SBS Transit staff subsequently reset the fault and manually drove the coupled train to Renjong Station to detrain passengers safely.

  • Another Faulty Lift In Sengkang Trapped 70 Year Old Retiree In Lift For 40 Minutes

    Another Faulty Lift In Sengkang Trapped 70 Year Old Retiree In Lift For 40 Minutes

    Two days after the ceiling panel of a lift at Block 325A Sengkang East Way fell and hurt a girl, the other lift at the block broke down on Friday afternoon (June 9). The breakdown trapped a 70-year-old man inside the lift for 40 minutes, and left residents in the block with no lift access during this period.

    The first lift with the faulty ceiling remains under repair till Monday (June 12).

    Retiree Lee Keng Duan, who was trapped in the lift on Friday, said: “This lift has been always breaking down. I’m not so scared for myself, but I worry that my granddaughter could get trapped one day.”

    He could not call anyone as his mobile phone had no reception, but one of his neighbours, Mr Sanjay Panday, happened to pass by at 4.40pm, and alerted the Ang Mo Kio Town Council (AMKTC).

    “I heard the alarm, and saw that this old man was stuck in the lift, which had stopped between the first and second floor. This is very worrying, it is the school holidays, and imagine that there are kids who might be stuck in the lift if they happen to be inside,”said the 40-year-old workplace safety and health officer.

    Mr Panday, who has lived at Block 325A since 2007, added that lift breakdowns in the block have been increasingly regular, echoing the views of several other residents interviewed by TODAY.

  • Beware! Peeping Tom Helps People Double Check Their Receipt At Sengkang MRT UOB Deposit Machine

    Beware! Peeping Tom Helps People Double Check Their Receipt At Sengkang MRT UOB Deposit Machine

    OK.

    So i was at the UOB deposit machine located at Sengkang MRT Station. If you guys know exactly where it is, you do know that it is in an air-conditioned room and there’s only machines and no tellers.

    When i walked in, i am pretty sure i am the only one in there and it is quiet. And also if somebody were to walk in, im pretty sure it would also be noticeable as the silence will break due to outside sounds coming in when the door opens. Well, you know what i mean. If not, just nod along and try to keep up.. LOL..

    What do you guys normally do after you key in the information like account numbers etc? You double check against the paper that you are holding right? That is exactly what i did…….

    And suddenly i heard a voice just behind my left ear….

    “Ya, correct…”

    I turn around and saw this guy standing behind me, peering over my shoulder to “help” me double check my entry….

    I was stunned like a vegetable. I stared at him and ask sarcastically..

    “Really?”

    “Ya.. really correct..” he answered..

    Menjawab pulak….

    Ask him to back off and i quickly finished up the transaction. He goes back to the corner and just wait for his next victim…

    Just a heads up for those staying in Sengkang..

    😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒

  • Sengkang Cops’ Quick Thinking Helped Them Revive Two-Year-Old Boy

    Sengkang Cops’ Quick Thinking Helped Them Revive Two-Year-Old Boy

    Police Senior Staff Sergeant Mohamad Azhar Abdul Aziz, 30, was handling a complaint from a member of the public on March 18 when an elderly woman dashed into the Sengkang Neighbourhood Police Centre (NPC) carrying a boy, who was limp.

    The officer knew something was wrong after taking a look at the boy and that he needed to do something, or the child would die.

    Senior Staff Sgt Azhar and Sergeant Mohamad Adam Roslan, 26, were on duty at the NPC at about 2pm that Saturday.

    Speaking to The New Paper on Wednesday, Senior Staff Sgt Azhar said: “His head and legs were dangling as his grandmother carried him.”

    The frantic woman went between Senior Staff Sgt Azhar and Sgt Adam to place the unconscious two-year-old on the counter.

    She was speaking in Mandarin in a panicked and shaky voice. Neither officer understood her, but both knew they had to act fast.

    As Sgt Adam called for an ambulance, Senior Staff Sgt Azhar checked the boy’s vitals. There were no signs of breathing or a pulse, so he applied cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

    EMOTIONAL

    Senior Staff Sgt Azhar, who has a daughter the same age as the boy, said: “I was worried because as I was trying to save him, doing the compressions, I was thinking of my daughter and I was quite emotional.”

    Cradling the boy in one arm, he performed chest compressions with his other hand.

    Just as he was about to perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, he noticed the boy’s teeth were tightly clenched, indicating he was breathing again but experiencing fits

    At the time, Staff Sergeant Joshua Kwek, 27, was on the second storey of the NPC having food.

    When he heard of the case, he sprinted to the Sengkang Polyclinic next door.

    The polyclinic had closed for the day, but he found a doctor who had not yet left for home and told him about the boy.

    Staff Sgt Joshua ran back to the NPC to inform Senior Staff Sgt Azhar, and they rushed back to the polyclinic with Senior Staff Sgt Azhar carrying the boy.

    They took him into the doctor’s consultation room.

    A Singapore Civil Defence Force spokesman told TNP they sent an ambulance and that the boy was then taken to KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital.

    The grandmother of the boy profusely thanked Senior Staff Sgt Azhar and his colleagues.

    Senior Staff Sgt Azhar told TNP: “I feel fortunate that he survived. I did not want a human being to die in my hands.”

    Assistant Superintendent of Police Muhamad Iskandar Abdul Kadir, the officer-in-charge of the community policing unit for Sengkang NPC, said: “I am proud of them, and they have done the police force proud.

    “I am glad they took the initiative to take the boy to the polyclinic instead of waiting for the ambulance.”
