MOTORCYCLIST CRASHED ON ROAD & RUNS AWAY, ABANDONS BIKE & GETS CHASED BY TP OFFICER

A video emerged online showing a motorcyclist skidding and crashing on the road, falling onto the pavement before getting up and running away from the traffic police along Geylang.

According to SG Road Vigilante – SGRV, who posted the video, the incident happened on 29 March 2023 at about 1146pm along Geylang Road, and was captured by another vehicle that was nearby the incident when it happened.

The motorcyclist was seen in the video skidding off his bike at the traffic junction of Geylang Road and Aljunired Road, hitting a traffic light before falling onto the pavement.

A traffic police officer riding a bike soon reached the scene seconds later from right behind the fallen rider, and the rider then hurriedly got back up on his feet and fled the scene, running away towards the left.

The traffic police officer then got off his bike quickly as well and gave chase to the fleeing motorcyclist, with another traffic police officer pulling up next to the first officer, before getting off his bike too and giving chase as well.

Not much information is made known about what exactly happened or what was going on, although speculation on the incident has been rife in the comment section.

BF OWES $20K IN CREDIT CARD DEBT, STILL GO HOLIDAY SWIPE HIS CARD LIKE FREE

My (30F) boyfriend (31M) of 3 years just disclosed to me that he has 20K in credit card debt and I’m heart broken.

TL;DR – the amount of credit card debt my boyfriend has stresses me out. I struggle to see how it is going to be paid off and it makes me question our future together.

Quick background: my boyfriend and I have been together for almost 3 years. He makes about 50K a year and I make close to 100K. I moved in with him 4 months ago, with the intent of getting married and moving into our own place in the next 2 or so years.

This year we went on vacation together, which we had about a year to plan for. All I asked was that he paid for his plane ticket and 25% of the hotel.

When it came time to buy the plane ticket, he told me he couldn’t go. “Too many expenses came up and he couldn’t afford it.”

I was upset, because we had been planning the trip for a year and I was really only asking him to come up with 1K.

Since there were things that were already paid for for the both of us, I came up with the extra 1K for his birthday and his gift was the vacation.

While we were there, he seemed to have no problem spending money. Which was suspicious to me… what happened to the money he didn’t have ? At this point, I realized he was using a credit card.

Over the month following our return from the trip, I gradually inquired about how much credit card debt he has. I said minus student loans, house and card.

What debt do you have that is related to a credit card? He said around 4K. I thought hmm that sucks but it’s not insurmountable.

Still though, things weren’t adding up. So I told him that he needed to really sit down and look at how much debt he has, because it seems like more than 4K.

He said he would but he wanted to do it himself, without me around. Understandable. Today, he told me he looked through everything and minus student loans, house and car he has 20K in credit card debit at an average of 17% interest. My heart sank.

In that moment, I feel like I watched all our hopes for us go out the window. Not just the fun stuff we were planning on doing, but things like getting married, having kids, moving.

Not that I am materialistic but if he tightened his belt and put every extra cent towards paying off debt, and not spending any more he wouldn’t pay it off until 2026.

DELIVERY RIDER KILLED AFTER PMD CAUGHT FIRE IN WOODLANDS HDB LIFT, DEATH RULED “MISADVENTURE”

DELIVERY RIDER KILLED AFTER PMD CAUGHT FIRE IN WOODLANDS HDB LIFT, DEATH RULED “MISADVENTURE”

A delivery rider’s personal mobility device caught fire back in 2021 while he was inside a lift at a Woodlands HDB block, he suffered burn injuries and subsequently succumbed to his injuries and died.

At the coroner’s hearing on 29 March, his death was ruled by State Coroner Adam Nakhoda as a misadventure.

According to investigations, the delivery rider, 20-year-old Muhammad Irfan Danish Azhar, had bought a modified battery for his already-modified PMD from Carousell in December 2020 before the incident and changed the existing battery with one that has a higher voltage, according to The Straits Times.

This was because his friend had told him that his PMD could ride faster than the other approved PMDs.

on 2 June 2021, Irfan was inside the lift at Block 537 Woodlands Drive 16 at about 11.25 pm when there were “flashes of orange light”, followed by an explosion.

A resident living there heard someone screaming for his mother and later saw Irgan engulfed in flames, with parts of his body being charred.

Neighbours tried to extinguish the fire inside the lift with water buckets and police officers later found Irgan lying down on a staircase landing and unable to breathe.

He was taken to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital by paramedics where he died the following day from smoke inhalation and burn injuries – he had suffered burns on 95% of his body.

The SCDF’s senior fire investigator, Muhammad Faizal Mazlan, testified in court and said that the lithium-ion battery pack may have overheated and that there was no battery management system included in the battery that would’ve prevented the overcharging and overheating that likely resulted in the fire.

The modifications to the battery pack might’ve also included a system bypass that lets it charge faster, and he added that “more current could have been drawn from the battery than expected, possibly leading to overheating”.

State Coroner Nakhoda also urged users to only buy UL2272-certified and LTA-registered devices instead of modified ones to prevent similar incidents in future.

MP SIM ANN GETS CALLED OUT FOR SHAKING HANDS WITH PUBLIC MEMBERS DURING SINGER’S SHOW

22-year-old local singer Bernice Lee (Benny’s) was in the middle of her performance at the Esplanade on 25 March as part of Panik Records’ showcase for the Esplanade’s Soul Jam series of live music shows.

However, midway during her set, Senior Minister of State for National Development and Foreign Affairs, Sim Ann, showed up at the show and was seen shaking hands with audience members in the front row, while Benny’s was still performing.

Her actions were called out by some members of the local music and arts commuting, who voiced their disapproval with her behaviour, calling it disrespectful.

Twitter user @hakiim_m_m_m was one of the netizens who criticised the act, saying:

“you go watch show or talk to friend… go to talk at least sit behind la dont obstruct… better still go meet somewhere it doesnt disrupt art… im sure im missing some context but i cannot not see this as a disrespect to the artist“

“worse is here is minister… and the connotation is traditional values, which respect is part of. ok la you can argue maybe its a small thing but to me, to many of us, it isn’t.”

“ministers alr got a bad rep when it comes to music scene eversince watain and blu jazz so this doesnt help them gain our trust. in fact its doing the opposite. just seems like they dk how to be sensitive to us”

“ok la the watain and blu jazz they got explain ah but this one how to explain? i really cannot wrap my head around this? basic human decency? huh???”

Organisers’ statement

The Esplanade and WWF-Singapore said in a joint statement that Sim Ann was the guest of honour for the Earth Hour Switch Off ceremony at 8.15pm, which was scheduled to begin after the showcase performance.

Sim arrived early and was ushered to her seat to watch the ongoing performance, and that the Esplanade Outdoor Theatre is a free and easy venue where audiences can enter or exit at any time.

They added that when Sim reached her seat, some audience members got up to greet her, and that “there was no intention of disrespecting the artists, performers, or audience, and we regret any disruption that we may have inadvertently caused.”

Sim Ann responds

Speaking to The Straits Times, Sim said that she was following the cues of the organisers and was greeting the people who were introduced to her.

She maintained that she was not trying to disregard the singer on stage bhy the manner of her entry and timing.

Sim also said that she has reached out to the artists involved to explain and that she is sorry for how things turned out.

She added that she “learned something valuable from the incident” and wished them “continued success in their musical endeavours”.

PRC WOMAN SAYS S’POREANS FORGOT THEIR ROOTS, SAYS “S’PORE & CHINA ARE ONE”

A video emerged online showing a PRC woman taking shots at Singaporeans and saying that we have forgotten our roots and pointed out how Singaporeans hate being mistaken for being from China.

She said in her lengthy video, ranting: “Did you know that Singaporeans hate it when other people say that they are from China?”

“The ones who just moved to Singapore, feel that Singaporeans and PRC Chinese are one, aren’t we fellow Chinese? We should look out for each other.”

“However I didn’t expect that Singaporeans would immediately turn on us and say ‘who is a fellow Chinese with you? I am Singaporean, not from China.'”

“After being criticised by the Singaporeans, the Chinese from China never dared to tell Singaporeans that they are fellow China-Chinese anymore.”

“Singaporeans don’t like to be labeled as being from China or originated from China, they only want other people to recognise them as Singaporean.”

“This is because it has been too long and they forgot about their identity, roots and culture from China.”

Netizens’ comments

GIRL SAYS GRAB & OTHER PHV DRIVERS DARINGLY ‘CROSS THE LINE’ IN THEIR CONVOS NOWADAYS

GIRL SAYS GRAB & OTHER PHV DRIVERS DARINGLY ‘CROSS THE LINE’ IN THEIR CONVOS NOWADAYS

Private Hire Drivers asking for numbers. Is this becoming the norm?

Context

I’ve been commuting to and fro using Grab/Gojek/Comfort/Tada/Ryde/etc due to work and convenience.

As the commute to work is pretty long (approx 40mins), I usually prefer to stay quiet and mind my ownself but would typically respond and engage in a chat strike by the Grab driver to avoid being arrogant/rude which could also imply negatively on me.

Yes, I’m image conscious here given how it’s apparent where I work and complains might come in insinuating we are snobby or something along those lines. Silly I know. Not going to elaborate on this due to the nature of it as it’s not important to reveal it.

Sometimes I do enjoy the chatty conversations, but I realise that these days Grab drivers are getting more boundless as they would openly ask ‘hey I like ur attitude and the way u spoke! Can I get ur number so we can be friends?‘ Or ‘can leave me a miss call… so and so.’ Or ‘lets go out….bla bla.’

An example would be the one time I was commuting back from the hospital and the Grab driver casually asked what happened.

Somehow I mentioned that I haven’t eaten after a long day of admitting my family and he suggested to eat out together. It was midnight ish? I refused (obviously) and he asked if we could go out another day. At first I thought it was a kind gesture but soon turned creepy when I realised the intentions.

Of course it is nice to know that people enjoy your company and would like to befriend you.

But the issue is the lack of ethics to casually ask someone about something very personal or detrimental to their own safety and security.

It baffles me slightly how a stranger would randomly just ask and expect you to be okay to share your details likes age, marital status and own number. PDPA where?

At the end of the day, the line between a service provider and consumer is very blurred.

I’m not sure if this is controversial, or that people would have a differing opinion on this… but as a girl I worry about my own safety. Some of these Grab drivers are old/older men.

You feel cornered and coerced into succumbing, and you worry that refusing might turn things ugly. It is also crazy to think that these Grab drivers now know where you stay. I have some friends who experience similar situations and have qualms too.

I don’t mean to come across as offensive, and I am not generalising/insinuating that all the Grab drivers project this kind of behaviour.

There are many whom are nice and respectful, would even go to lengths of providing hitch services so it’ll be a cheaper commute to work. But some of these few bad apples are spoiling the bunch.

Am I overthinking or being paranoid? Do you guys have experiences to share? Have you ever felt unsafe too?
