  • Dramatic CNB Drug Bust In Boon Lay

    Dramatic CNB Drug Bust In Boon Lay

    Stompers Emily and Jurong resident thought that they were looking at an accident scene at Boon Lay Way at around 5.50pm yesterday (May 01).

    But what they both saw was the aftermath of a Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) drug bust.

    According to Emily, the accident involved a Honda Civic and Hyundai Getz.

    Stomper Jurong Resident told Stomp that she had heard a loud thud from her flat and noticed that a blue car had crashed into the road divider.

    In a phone interview with Stomp, the Stomper said:

    “I saw a blue car crash into the middle fence, strangely in the opposite direction. The driver of the blue car immediately opened the door and started running.

    “Then four men from the grey vehicles ran out of the car and started chasing the man. They managed to catch him and dragged him back and put him into one of the grey cars.”

    Here is the CNB statement which sheds light on the incident:

    “Earlier this evening (May 01), a 26-year-old suspected male drug trafficker who was trying to evade arrest, crashed his car into CNB Officers’ vehicle along Boon Lay Way, before hitting a member of public’s car.

    “Both the suspect and the family of four in that car were sent to the hospital for checks.

    “The suspect was related to an earlier case on 30 Apr 2015 where about 312 gm of heroin and 3 Erimin-5 tablets were found in a car.

    “Suspect is now under CNB’s custody and will be investigated for drug trafficking.”

  • More Warm Weather In May!

    More Warm Weather In May!

    The next two weeks are expected to be warm and wet, and there could also be slight haze in the morning.

    The National Environment Agency said in its latest weather forecast on Friday that, based on long-term statistics, May is the second warmest month in the year, after April.

    “Singapore can also expect four or five days of short-duration, thundery showers in the afternoon, and two or three days of thundery showers in the morning,” it said.

    The agency noted that rainfall for this month is likely to be “near-normal”, whereas about two-thirds of the country had more rainfall than usual last month.

    Central Singapore, around Ang Mo Kio and Lower Peirce Reservoir, received the highest rainfall of 267mm to 324mm, about 55 to 80 per cent above average.

    Eastern Singapore, around Pasir Ris and Simei, received the least rainfall of 67mm to 91mm, about 45 to 70 per cent below average.

  • Amos Yee: The Ridiculous Terms Of My Bail

    Amos Yee: The Ridiculous Terms Of My Bail

    What is the purpose of the terms of a bail? It is to ensure that one attends court. Which so far, I have quite obediently complied to. But how I am going to be punished in lieu of the terms of the bail, has absolutely nothing to do with my presence in court, but the added uncanny conditions that were placed.

    In addition to showing up to court, the conditions of my bail are:

    1.       Not to post, upload, or otherwise distribute any comment or content, whether directly or indirectly, to any social media or online service or website, while the current case is ongoing.
    2.       To meet IO Jason Chua every morning at 9am in Bedok Police Station.

    And if I breach, anyone of those bail conditions. My bailor loses $20000, and I have to be sent to remand until after the trial has ended.

    I heard that in the case of a simple theft, when one has pleaded guilty, it takes 3 months for them to attain their sentence. In my case, since I am going to trial, and also the fact that how I’ve attained my charges is quite unique, especially the charge concerning obscene imagery, which I found out, I am the first person ever in Singapore to be charged for that. Everything is probably going to take much longer…Let’s estimate say… about 8 months.

    So technically, they are saying that if I do not meet Jason Chua for 1 morning, I deserve to be sentenced for 8 months in prison and be fined $20000.

    So not meeting Jason Chua can have a punishment more serious than that of a robbery.

    Every morning during weekdays, at around 7:30am, hundreds of thousands of Singaporeans stand up and recite the national pledge, and say the 2 lines ‘to build a democratic society, based on justice and equality’

    And now. Wow… god fucking damn, I’m really feelin that ‘Justice and equality’…

  • Tau Rahsia Ini? Apa Lagi Pergilah Solat Di Masjid

    Tau Rahsia Ini? Apa Lagi Pergilah Solat Di Masjid

    Apa yang diceritakan di sini adalah sekadar self-reflection (muhasabah diri sebagai Muslim):-

    DISEBALIK PERLAHANNYA LAUNGAN AZAN

    Bila ada petisyen minta azan diperlahankan di masjid-masjid kerana mengganggu penduduk setempat MP muslims di Singapura sangat marah. Maka, PM singapura masa tu Lee Kuan Yew telah membuat tinjauan di masjid-masjid di Singapura pada waktu solat fardhu untuk melihat sendiri bilangan jemaah yg hadir….

    Ditanyanya apakah rasional dilaungkan azan? Maka MP Muslims menjawab “supaya kaum muslimin dtg bersolat di masjid”….

    Jika azan sepatutnya mendapat respon 500 muslim di kawasan itu kenapa hanya 2 baris (2 saf – lebih kurang 30 org) yang hadir setiap kali solat fardhu. Dan keadaan ini sama sepanjang 2 bulan tinjauannya. Maka katanya lagi -permintaan siapakah yang wajar dipertimbangkan…? Majoriti penduduk yg merasakan azan bising dan mengganggu atau cuma 30 org yang menyahut seruan azan itu? MP muslims terkedu….

    Kita marah hak kita dirampas, tapi apa tanggungjawab kita menjaga hak itu? Bila keputusan dibuat berdasarkan majoriti kita sebagai orang Islam berasa amat marah dan kononnya tersinggung….

    Dimana kekuatan kita????

    Kita marah orang hina agama kita tapi adakah kita memuliakannya????

    Marilah sama-sama kita muhasabah diri buat kita di dunia ini bagi muslimin-muslimin sekalian. Di mana kesungguhan untuk solat berjemaah di masjid….

    Berbaloikah kita terlampau mengejar kesenangan hidup di dunia yang sementara tanpa sedar maruah agama tergadai…

    Jom kita jadi muslim terpilih yang Allah sebut dalam al-Quran sebagai kuntum khairun ummah…

    Jom kita ubah diri sebelum membawa perubahan kepada yang lain…

    Buat renungan kita…

    JANGAN BERULANG SEJARAH INI PULA DI MALAYSIA NANTI…

    Penuhilah masjid kerana Allah. Setiap langkah ke sana penuh dengan pahala..
