LORRY CARRYING CRANE HITS MRT TRACKS @ JURONG, THEN SWERVE & ALMOST HIT GRAB RIDER

A video emerged online showing a lorry carrying a crane, almost hitting a Grab delivery rider in Jurong West after the crane had purportedly hit the MRT tracks above.

The incident happened on 18 March at about 5pm along Corporation Road, and was captured on the dashcam of a vehicle that was behind the rider at the time.

A loud crashing sound could be heard at the start of the video, before the lorry that was carrying a crane suddenly swerves into view.

The crane that was sitting at the back of the lorry had presumably hit the MRT tracks that were overhead above the traffic junction.

A Grab delivery rider who was on his motorcycle and waiting at the traffic light, was understandably startled by the loud sound and hurriedly jumped to the side to avoid the oncoming swerving lorry, as debris from the lorry was seen strewn all over the road.

However, following the crash, the lorry appeared to be continuing driving forward leaving dust behind in its wake, as it eventually disappeared from view.

The Grab rider was seen still trying to process what happened, looking all around him and at the MRT tracks above.

Netizens’ comments

  1. Wow, luckily the motorbike n the rider at the side is safe n alright… so dangerous suddenly..
  2. This type of accident happened so often. Government should up the penalties for such irresponsible people. Otherwise they don’t take their jobs seriously.
  3. Lololol they were supposed to plan a route with a height limit right?
  4. Siao liao, claim until this company jialat jialat

Potential penalties

Under the law, the height limit for heavy vehicles should not exceed 4.5 metres. If the height is any higher, the driver has to apply for a police escort.

Drivers must also plan their routes in advance in order to avoid colliding into low obstacles such as the MRT tracks in the video.

According to the Road Traffic Act Section 65A, drivers of heavy vehicles who collide with a building or structure face a fine of $5,000 and/or a jail term of up to 2 years.

Repeat offenders face a fine of $10,000 and/or a jail term of up to 5 years.

Under the Road Traffic Act Section 79, drivers of heavy vehicles more than 4.5m in height without a police escort face a fine of $2,000 and a jail term of up to 3 years, as well as having their driving licenses banned for a year or more.

He shares that the Police Coast Guard had stopped them for a routine check and asked him and his partner behind him for their Identity card and particulars.

He replied the Police that he did not bring his IC out to sea and proceeded to provide the authorities with his NRIC number, Date of Birth and his Full name.

FOOTAGE OF MEN @ WAKE CLAIMING TO BE FROM 108 HAI LOK SAN RESURFACES ON TIKTOK

Footage of a group of men who claimed to be from the 108 Hai Lok San gang had resurfaced on Tiktok.

Arrived at a funeral wake to pay respects to the deceased

In the video, the men can be seen forming in line within their group to pay respects to the deceased.

A member of the gang who is most likely the headman of the group which came to pay their respects was seen holding joss sticks and offering prayers to the deceased, before he placed the joss sticks on the joss sticks holder.

The group then bowed to the deceased three times on command, before they walked off shouting their gang slogan ‘108! Hai Lok San!’.

Secret societies in Singapore

According to Wikipedia, most secret societies in Singapore had mostly been cleaned out but there are still certain groups around who try to copy the societies of the past.

Most members of such secret societies are usually people who are in their youths and growing up.

Laws regarding secret societies

Being a member of a secret society in Singapore is illegal and constitutes an offence.

Anyone who is a member of such a society, behaves as a member or participates in a meeting of an unlawful society would be guilty of an offence.

Upon conviction, the person can receive a fine of up to $5,000 and/or be given a jail term of up to three years.

80 Y.O MAN SLASHED 88 Y.O MAN WITH KNIFE @ AMK BECAUSE HE GOSSIPED ABOUT HIM, ARRESTED

0

An 88-year-old elderly man was allegedly slashed by an 80-year-old man at Ang Mo Kio after the victim had gossiped about him, and the alleged assailant was subsequently arrested by the police.

According to Shin Min Daily News, the incident took place on Friday (17 March) at about 6 pm at Block 122 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3, in front of the Sheng Siong Supermarket in the block.

The area outside the supermarket, as well as the lift lobby nearby, was cordoned off by the police for investigations.

Blood everywhere

A man who works nearby, 29-year-old Mr Wen, said that he had heard a commotion outside and later found out that an elderly man had been slashed and was bleeding out on the ground, with passers-by coming over to render aid to him.

He was seen sitting on the ground and leaning back against the wall with the left side of his shirt all red from the blood.

39-year-old Mr Luo, who works at a zi char stall nearby, said that the victim had long knife wounds on his face and over his nose.

Fighting over gossip

According to a coffee shop assistant at a nearby eatery, Xie, the two men were regulars there.

About 2 days before the slashing, the victim had purportedly gone around gossiping about the suspect, and the suspect’s wife then found out about it and told him.

The two men then got into a fight on 15 March, with the suspect then threatening the victim “watch out or I will chop you,” to which the victim then told him that he was not scared of him, at the time.

Arrested & knife seized

The Singapore Police Force said that they were alerted to a case of assault on 17 March at about 6 pm at Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3, and an 88-year-old man was conveyed to Tan Tock Seng Hospital conscious.

SMDN reported that the 80-year-old suspect had apparently fled home after allegedly slashing the victim, while the passers-by were trying to help the bleeding man.

Two to three police officers later went to the man’s home to investigate and officers were later seen leaving the unit at about 7.30 pm with the elderly suspect in tow, without any expression on his face.

He was arrested for voluntarily causing hurt with a dangerous weapon.

There were also blood-stained hand prints on the inside and outside of the lift, and a fruit knife believed to have been used as the weapon in the slashing was also seized by the police as a case exhibit, as police investigations are underway.

MAN’S KU KU JIAO STOP WORKING AFTER GF KEEPS NAG & ARGUE WITH HIM UNTIL TURN OFF

0

It was the worst day of my life. I had just gone through a nasty argument with my girlfriend and it had left me feeling utterly defeated. We had been together for a few years and things had been going great, until recently. She had started nagging me about every little thing and it had been driving me crazy.

I had been lying in bed when I suddenly realized that I was unable to get an “stand”. I had never experienced this before and it was extremely disconcerting. I was embarrassed and scared, so I tried to ignore it.

But the problem persisted. I started to realize that the argument with my girlfriend had taken a serious toll on my body. Every time I thought about it, I felt my body tense up and my libido disappears. I knew I had to do something about it, but I didn’t know what.

I decided to talk to my doctor and see if they could help me out. After a few tests, my doctor determined that the problem was psychological. She told me that the argument with my girlfriend had caused me to become so stressed that my body had shut down my ability to get aroused.

My doctor prescribed me some medication to help me relax and gave me some advice on how to better manage my stress.

I started to feel better and was eventually able to “stand” again.

Eventually broke up

The last straw was when she started arguing with me over something totally insignificant cause I da bao noodles for her and she did not want spicy, but I did order no spicy and the uncle give me wrong.

I tried to stay calm and talk it out, but she just kept getting more and more upset. I had no choice but to walk away from the argument and try to cool off.

Little did I know that this argument would be the end of us. When I returned to our bedroom, I was shocked to find that she had packed her bags and left. I was heartbroken and in shock, but I knew that I had to move on from the situation.

I thought I had done a pretty good job of moving on.

However, the damage was already done. My girlfriend and I had broken up and I was still struggling with the effects of the argument. I had thought that I had moved on, but I realized that I still had a lot of work to do to get over what had happened.

I started to take better care of myself and focus on my own needs. I made sure to take breaks throughout the day to give myself time to relax and unwind. I also began doing things that I enjoyed, like going for walks or playing sports, to help me clear my mind.

Now, I’m in a much better place and am able to have healthy relationships. I’m thankful that I was able to get past the argument with my girlfriend, and I’m grateful for the lessons that it taught me.

MAN RACING AGAINST TIME EVERY MONTH TO REPAY CREDIT CARDS, REGRETS APPLYING

0

I was always told to save money for a rainy day, but I never imagined that I’d be in the situation I’m in now. I’m a man racing against time every month to repay my credit cards.

It all started when I was laid off from my job. I was unable to find another job for a few months, and I had to rely on my credit cards to cover my expenses. I had never used a credit card before, so I didn’t understand the implications of using one.

I ended up maxing out all of my cards, and I was suddenly faced with tens of thousands of dollars in debt.

At first, I was able to make the minimum payments on my cards, but as time went on, I started to fall behind. I was already struggling to make ends meet, and now I was being hit with late fees and skyrocketing interest rates. I felt like I was in a never-ending cycle of debt.

The situation became direr and direr as I was unable to make the payments on my cards. I was scared of what the future held for me, and I was desperate to find a way out of this mess. I began to look for solutions to my debt problem.

I eventually found a way out.

I decided to consolidate my debt into one loan with a lower interest rate and a more manageable payment plan. This helped me to reduce my monthly payments and finally get on top of my debt.

Unfortunately, I still had to make payments every month in order to repay my debt. I had to make sure that I paid the minimum amount on time, or else I would be charged late fees. It was a constant battle to make sure I had enough money to cover my payments each month. It felt like I was constantly racing against time to make sure I didn’t fall behind.

I’ve been able to stay on top of my payments for the past few months, but it’s still a struggle. I have to be careful with my spending, and I have to budget every month to make sure I have enough money to cover my bills. It’s a difficult situation, but I’m determined to get out of debt and rebuild my credit.

I’ve learned a lot from this experience. I’ve learned the importance of budgeting and saving for the future. I’ve also learned the consequences of using credit cards irresponsibly. It’s a hard lesson, but one that I’ll never forget.

For now, I’ll continue to race against time every month to repay my credit cards. It’s not an easy task, but I’ve come too far to give up now. I’m determined to get out of debt and rebuild my credit. I know that I have the strength and determination to do it, and I won’t give up until I’ve achieved my goal.

MAN GOT TRICKED TO JOIN INSURANCE INDUSTRY, ENDS UP EAT SOYA SAUCE WITH RICE

0

I was graduating from uni, I knew I had to make a decision that was going to shape my future. I had two job offers, a regular office job or selling insurance. I had no idea what I was getting myself into.

At the time, I had no idea how the insurance industry worked, and I was desperate for a job. So, I chose the insurance job. Little did I know how wrong I was. It was a decision that changed my life forever.

I was tricked into joining the insurance industry.

I was told that I would make a lot of money and that I could easily succeed. I was told that I could make a good living and be successful. But I soon found out that this was far from the truth.

Since I had no experience in the insurance industry, I was stuck. I had no idea what I was doing and I was lost. I was constantly given tasks that were too difficult for me to understand and complete. I felt like I was wasting my time and money.

I was so frustrated and overwhelmed that I decided to quit. I thought that I could find another job and start over. But, I soon realized that I was in too deep to just quit. I had signed a contract and I was stuck in an industry that I had no idea how to succeed in.

I was stuck in the insurance industry and I had no idea how to make it work. I was not making a lot of money, and I was so confused and frustrated that I started to feel like I was eating soya sauce with rice.

I was constantly going to meetings and seminars that were supposed to teach me how to be successful in the insurance industry. But, I felt like I was just wasting my time. I felt like I was being taken advantage of and that I was being tricked into joining the insurance industry.

Eventually, I was eating soya sauce with rice at times.

I had no choice but to find a job and with no prior job experience I am really not getting very fatr

MAN “BRIBES” FRIEND 3 TOWERS OF BEER TO DO HIS UNIVERSITY HOMEWORK

0

 I was in my final year of university and I was feeling the pressure of doing well in my exams. I had been studying hard but I was still worried that I wouldn’t get the grades I needed. As if that wasn’t enough, I was also struggling to keep up with all my coursework. My friend was in the same situation and had been talking about how he was struggling to stay on top of things.

One day, after a particularly stressful day at university, I suggested to my friend that I’d do his coursework for him if he bought me three towers of beer. It was a joke, but he took me seriously and agreed to the deal.

We went to a bar and he paid for all 3 towers. I was shocked but I couldn’t turn down such an offer. I took the beer, thanked him and got to work on his coursework.

I worked hard and completed the coursework in time for his deadline. He was really happy with the result and thanked me for my help. I had never expected to be paid for my work but he insisted on compensating me for my time.

I was flattered by his gesture and thanked him for his generosity. I was now more motivated than ever to do well in my exams. I realized that it was possible to succeed even when the odds were against you.

My friend and I both ended up passing our exams and graduating with good grades. We both owed each other a debt of gratitude for helping each other out. We kept in touch throughout our post-university lives and still remain good friends to this day.

The whole experience taught me a lot about friendship, loyalty and the power of a good “bribe”.

It also showed me that it’s possible to succeed even when the odds are stacked against you. I’m grateful for my friend’s help and I’m proud to say that I got my degree thanks to him.

It’s safe to say that I was never expecting to be paid three towers of beer to do my friend’s university coursework. It was a unique experience that taught me a lot and I’m glad I accepted his offer.
