  • Horrified Passenger: Uber Driver Ate Fast Food, Drove Using Only One Pinky

    Horrified Passenger: Uber Driver Ate Fast Food, Drove Using Only One Pinky

    Uber driver has taken UberEATS way too literally, and possibly landed himself in hot water.

    With driverless cars all the rage now, one Uber passenger certainly felt like she was riding in one, when the driver of the car she was in allegedly controlled the steering wheel with just a pinky during the ride as he ate his food.

    According to Lianhe Wanbao, a reader identified as Ms Xu, 48, was taking a Uber trip from Pasir Ris to her workplace in Toa Payoh, at around 3pm on Wednesday (Dec 15) when it happened.

    “As soon as I boarded, I could smell the oily fast food,” she told Lianhe Wanbao, “I asked the driver to wind down the windows, and he even asked me ‘why?’.”

    She said the driver held a sauce box in his left hand and picked up fries and chicken nuggets with his right, while driving through the entire 20-minute journey, only holding the steering wheel with his left pinky.

    While she could understand if the driver ate whenever the car stopped at red lights, as he might be so busy he did not have time for meals, she was appalled that he was doing so even while on the expressway.

    “It was really dangerous. What if something had happened? He definitely would not have had time to react,” Ms Xu said, who added that she was frightened throughout the journey.

    As she did not want to confront the driver directly, she took a video to lodge a complaint with Uber. She added that she felt like she was onboard a driverless car.

    “At some point, some sauce dripped onto his pants, and he momentarily took both his hands off the wheel to pick up some tissue and wipe off the mess. It was really outrageous,” Ms Xu told Lianhe Wanbao.

    According to Lianhe Wanbao, Uber has apologised to Ms Xu, and will investigate the matter and take appropriate action against the errant driver.

  • K Shanmugam: MHA Will Review Adequacy Of Legislation Against Abuse Of Civil Service Officers

    K Shanmugam: MHA Will Review Adequacy Of Legislation Against Abuse Of Civil Service Officers

    CPL Ammy of the Singapore Police Force (SPF) was physically attacked while doing her duty.

    In May, she and her partner responded to a taxi driver who reported about his hostile passengers.

    At the scene, CPL Ammy asked one of the passengers, Albin Lim for his particulars. Lim grabbed and pushed her to the ground. He then kicked her lower back. CPL Ammy suffered a blackout and collapsed.

    Lim’s abusive conduct was terrible on several levels. He attacked a lady. He attacked an officer in uniform, doing her duty.

    He has been sentenced to 10 weeks jail for this. I have asked the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) to relook at the legislation, to consider whether this is adequate. I have said to MHA that anyone who attacks a uniformed officer should learn a lesson, which he will never forget; and it should be enough of a deterrence to others.

    CPL Ammy is not the only Home Team officer who has suffered physical and verbal abuse when on duty. Last year, 344 cases were reported – almost one case per day! In the first 8 months of this year alone, there were 328 cases of abuse of Home Team officers.

    In our current heightened security climate, the men and women of the Home Team work tirelessly daily to protect Singapore. They need our full support and cooperation.

    Beware Of Scam Impersonating Muhammadiyah’s Discontinued Fund-Raising Project

    BE AWARE

    I just received this under my door. The hp no is no longer in service and no one answers the tel line.

    When I called Muhammadiyah, I was shocked to find out they had already DISCONTINUED  this door to door collection and they have actually made a police report.

    Someone was using their logo and slip to make false collection.

  • Man Chased Own Family Out Of Car, Broke Traffic Rules And Behaved Aggressively Towards Wife During Family Dispute

    Man Chased Own Family Out Of Car, Broke Traffic Rules And Behaved Aggressively Towards Wife During Family Dispute

    At around 11.30pm on 12th November, hubby Azlan and I heard shoutings from our bedroom. This Malay driver in his 30s (car plate number: SGN4611D) parked his car along the Pioneer Road North junction, at the bus stop outside City Harvest Church (Blk 949) and was yelling at 2 ladies in hijab who were with 3 kids (2 of them were around 3 to 6 years and an infant) who were standing by the roadside. Judging by how they were just standing there unsure of what to do and that the car front passenger’s door was open, I had already suspected that they were passengers in the car and was chased out by the driver. The driver then went back into the car and honked non-stop to nothing. After awhile, without closing the front passenger’s door, he reversed at least twice (going against the flow of traffic) to follow the ladies and kids who were walking away. He then drove up the kerb and targeted towards them. One of the older kids was already right in front of the headlights. He then drove off towards PIE and we thought the whole incident was over.

    My hubby didn’t stop looking out the window and was telling me that the ladies and kids were asking around for help. They approached two Indian teenagers (who also witnessed the incident) and requested their help to call a cab. The younger lady, who claimed the driver was her kids’ father (possibly her husband) wanted to bring them all to her parent’s home nearby. As the 2 Indian teenagers were assisting her, my husband spotted the car returned. We were still at home then. According to the 2 Indian teenagers, the driver scolded them and asked to mind their own business as it’s his family issues. Judging by his temper, the 2 Indian teenagers probably did not want to get into a fight with the husband and decided to go to the nearest coffeeshop to call an older Chinese guy for help.

    Hubby and I decided to go down and see what was going on. When we were downstairs, we purposely walked past the family to keep an eye on them. I saw the wife pinned against the wall at a corner and crying while the husband was talking to her with his hands up against the wall and blocking her. We moved a little further from them as the husband was glancing at us and since I’m pregnant, we did not want to get into unnecessary trouble. By then all the witnesses had gathered with us and a few had called the police. By the time the police arrived, the whole family had left. We didn’t know if any domestic violence was involved while we were not around to watch.

    Officers said that for now, there seems to be NO imminent danger and if they do receive a call from the family, they will continue the investigation. The driver was recklessly driving; reversing with the doors open, driving against traffic, driving on pedestrian walkway, making a U-turn at non-designated U-turn spots, beating the red light and has a temper. Let’s just hope no innocent lives will be hurt by this reckless driver. And to the ladies and kids if they had followed the driver back home, stay safe. If you’re in trouble, seek help. There are people willing to help you out of your predicament.
