  • Thomas Who Criticised Dead Traffic Police Officer Arrested For Shop Theft

    Thomas Who Criticised Dead Traffic Police Officer Arrested For Shop Theft

    The man who was widely criticised for his comments about a Traffic Police officer who was killed on duty was arrested on Sunday (Jun 4) – albeit over an entirely different matter.

    Thomas Chua Poh Heng, 39, was arrested for alleged shop theft at a department store along Syed Alwi Road, police said in a news release in the early hours of Monday.

    The incident took place at 5.37am on Sunday. In-house security officers detained Chua outside the store with an unpaid item and handed him over to the police.

    Chua was already under investigation for three other separate police reports lodged against him since January, police said, adding that investigations into these cases were still ongoing.

    Channel NewsAsia understands that the offences include shop thefts and traffic violations.

    Chua earlier claimed that he received traffic violations from Nadzrie Matin, the police officer who was killed in a traffic accident while on duty and gloated over the officer’s death. Chua’s comments, made on Facebook, were roundly condemned by Law and Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam as an “insult to all police officers“.

    Police told Channel NewsAsia that Chua did receive traffic summonses but confirmed that none of them were issued by the officer who died.

    “The remarks were hurtful and unfair to not only our officers but to his friends, family and loved ones as well. However, we remain objective and professional in our dealing with Thomas Chua,” a police spokesman said to Channel NewsAsia.

  • 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.
