    4 Year Old Boy Found Dead At Bottom Of Yishun HDB Flat

    The body of a four-year-old boy was found motionless in a pool of blood at the foot of Block 165, Yishun Ring Road, on Tuesday (Oct 6) morning by one of the residents in the block.

    Madam Lela V. was on her way to the market when she saw the body.

    The 58-year-old housewife recognised the child as her neighbour. His family had recently moved into the block.

    She said: “The family was very friendly and would say ‘Hi’ whenever we met in the lift or corridor.”

    The New Paper understands that the boy is believed to have fallen from a window of his family’s ninth-storey flat.

    It is not known if he was alone at home when he fell.

    A Singapore Civil Defence Force spokesman said they were alerted to the incident at 8.34am. The boy was pronounced dead by paramedics on arrival, he added.

    Police said they are investigating the case as an unnatural death.

  • Yishun Drama – Intruder Hide In Sranger’s Flat To Evade Police

    Yishun Drama – Intruder Hide In Sranger’s Flat To Evade Police

    For 20 agonising minutes, a mother and her three young children were stricken by fear when they were held captive in their Yishun flat yesterday.

    A desperate intruder had broken into their home and was frantically trying to escape the police.

    He was eventually arrested.

    Speaking to The New Paper after the incident, Madam Suhadah Jumadi, 33, said she was getting ready to break fast with her children in the living of their home in Block 431B, Yishun Avenue 1, when she saw a barefooted man walk out of her bedroom.

    He had climbed into her sixth-storey flat through the master bedroom window from the level above, breaking her window grilles.

    She hadn’t heard him as the TV was on and her children were playing.

    “The man told me not to call the police and asked me to find a way to help him get away,” Madam Suhadah said.

    Then she heard a commotion at her door as well as sounds under the block.

    “I could see uniformed officers outside (the window on the first storey), as well those knocking on my door (through the peephole).

    “That’s when I knew he was a wanted man,” she said.

  • 36 Arrested In Islandwide Anti-Vice Raid

    36 Arrested In Islandwide Anti-Vice Raid

    The police have arrested 36 suspects in HDB flats suspected to be operating as brothels in an island-wide operation.

    The suspects, comprising two men and 34 women aged between 21 and 48, were allegedly involved in vice-related activities in residential areas, the police said in a statement on Thursday.

    Officers from the Ang Mo Kio Division, Jurong Division and Criminal Investigation Department (CID) raided multiple locations, including Woodlands, Sembawang, Sengkang, Jurong West, Yishun, Chinatown and River Valley, on Tuesday and Wednesday.

    A woman who lives next door to Woodlands flat that was raided said she became suspicious after strange men pacing up and down while looking at their mobile phones on the common corridor.

    The resident, who has young children, said she was shocked such things were going on just next door to them.

    “It’s disgusting and I’m grossed out. I feel unsafe, especially for my kids. I don’t want such people anywhere near them,” she said.

  • Grouses Emerge On Temporary Yishun Bus Interchange

    Grouses Emerge On Temporary Yishun Bus Interchange

    Despite the many hours spent engaging residents and other stakeholders on the temporary Yishun bus interchange, grouses among commuters have arisen days after the SMRT-run interchange began operations.

    In particular, the location of the temporary facility and its larger size came in for criticism.

    The old Yishun bus interchange was situated opposite Yishun MRT station and beside Northpoint Shopping Centre, and all three places were connected by an underground links. The new facility, which opened on Saturday (March 14) is positioned opposite Northpoint Shopping Centre, and commuters must now cross an extra road to get from the MRT station to the interchange.

    The temporary interchange is meant to serve residents until the new Yishun Integrated Transport Hub is ready in 2019. The hub will feature an air-conditioned bus interchange with an underpass link to Yishun MRT station and it will also be connected to the upcoming Northpoint City development.

    In a Facebook post on Mar 14, SMRT said before the move, it invested “many hours” engaging Yishun residents, schools in the area, the Ministry of Transport and the Land Transport Authority, noting “such relocations can make the headlines for the wrong reasons”. It conducted trials with wheelchair users and engaged commuters to serve as service ambassadors in the first few days of operations.

    Commuter Fatimah Jaafar, 62, found the distance between the new interchange and the MRT station a strain on her body. “I have to walk from the MRT station all the way to the interchange every day from Monday to Saturday. Not good for an old woman like me,” said Ms Fatimah, who has had a kidney transplant.

    Some commuters were also unhappy that the new interchange, at 27,000 square metres, is bigger than the old 20,000-square metre interchange. “Just walking from one end to the other is very tiring,” said student Dwight Adriel, 14.

    Other minor complaints include the misuse of the priority queues, the occasional traffic jams that occur at the entrance of the interchange, and confusion over the amended routes of a certain number of buses.

    However, some commuters agreed that it is too soon to judge the new interchange. Visiting the new interchange for the first time on Monday, Mr Zulkifli Ariffin, 34, said: “It just opened a few days ago. Give it maybe one or two months and we can then see whether it is good or not. Right now, I think the interchange is not that bad for a temporary one.”
