LTA released a statement stating that they will target to install 40,000 electric vehicle charging points by 2030 at public car parks across the island.

The tender to install EV charging points in participating public car parks in the Central, East, and West regions has been granted to ComfortDelGro Engineering Pte Ltd and its consortium partner, ENGIE South East Asia Pte Ltd.

Primech A&P Pte Ltd and its consortium partners – Charge+ Pte Ltd, Sunseap Group Pte Ltd, and Oyika Pte Ltd – have been granted the tender to install EV charging infrastructure in participating car parks in the North and North-East areas.

To support EV adoption in Singapore, it is critical for Government to partner the growing EV charging sector to build up a comprehensive and accessible charging network. The keen industry participation in this pilot tender demonstrates strong interest by the private sector to play a part in shaping Singapore’s EV landscape.

URA and LTA will work closely with ComfortDelGro, Primech A&P, and their respective consortium partners to deploy the EV charging stations at their allotted car parks, which are expected to be installed and operational by the third quarter of 2022.

A 31-year-old cyclist was drunk when he was hit and pulled by an SBS Transit bus. When he was struck, he was riding through a pedestrian crossing in Pasir Ris.

The Filipino victim was hit at the intersection of Loyang Avenue and Pasir Ris Drive 1 at 10.30 pm. He worked as an aircraft technician in Singapore and he was riding home from work when the accident happened.

The bus driver was making a turn when he hit the victim, He felt an impact on the front area of the bus while doing so. He said he did not instantly slow down because other vehicles were approaching from behind, so he completed the turn and came to a halt on Loyang Avenue.

Only to discover later that the man had been dragged under the bus, the Singapore Civil Defence Force arrived and tried to save the victim but he was later pronounced dead on the scene.

Investigations are ongoing, the driver may not be charged for the accident.

According to the Immigration and Checkpoint Authority, they have once again foiled the plans of illegal smugglers.

ICA said in a Facebook post that officers stopped six attempts to smuggle medicines and weight loss products into Singapore. The parcels were falsely declared as ‘Lavender’ and ‘Lifestyle’ items.

The case has since been referred to the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) for further investigation.

In their post they said:

Under HSA’s licensing framework, importers of medicines are required to hold the relevant dealer’s licences. Safeguarding Singapore’s borders remains as the top priority for ICA. Those with ill intent could use similar methods of concealment to smuggle security items into Singapore. ICA will continue to thwart smuggling attempts at the checkpoints so as to safeguard Singapore’s borders.

Liaw Chong Guan, 65-years-old, was sentenced on 2 September to 8 years imprisonment with an additional enhanced sentence of 624 days of jail.

He was previously given 5 years imprisonment and 3 strokes of the cane for consumption of drugs, but he was then released on remission after serving 2/3 of his jail term.

The enhanced sentence given to him now is for committing the crimes while he was out on remission.

Liaw now needs to serve the full sentence that he was previously given.

He pleaded guilty to one charge of drug abuse as well as one charge of hurting a police officer.

Another 2 more drug abuse charges were considered during sentencing.

What happened?

Liaw locked himself in his Toa Payoh flat on 8 February and threatened to harm himself on 8 February, and the police received a call at about 8.50am.

The police soon arrived and Liaw was then seen holding on to a lighter as well as a gas canister.

The officers then broke down the door and Liaw thought he was being arrested for abuse of drugs.

He then picked up a 20cm knife and used it to stab one of the police officers in the thigh, before being subdued by 4 of the officers.

The injured officer suffered a 2cm wound and was given 14 days of hospitalisation leave.

Liaw was also found with Morphine in his system (urine sample).

He cannot be caned as he is above 50 years old.

A young girl shared her story of how she enjoyed a rich guy and wants the guy to leave his wife as he is rich.

Here is this story:

I am 21F dating a married 35M, he is rich and good looking, and has Lean muscular body with six pack, we have the best sex life we ever had too

now I want him to leave his wife, should I stay as a girlfriend, or try to get myself upgraded when he leaves his wife? I know I sound selfish, but who would want to stay as a small wife right? He showers me with gifts and money that have totalled around 1.5m in the last 4 months, but I rather don’t receive the gifts and money, and I want to be his wife.
