MOTORCYCLIST ALLEGEDLY HIT BY CAR, CONFRONTS DRIVER: “YOU HIT MY BIKE!”

A video emerged online showing a confrontation between a motorcyclist and a car driver, in front of what appears to be The Cathay.

The motorbike rider could be seen standing over his fallen motorcycle as the driver of the car remained inside his car.

The motorcyclist was heard in the video repeatedly saying: “YOU HIT MY BIKE! I’M GOING TO CALL THE POLICE!”

The driver of the car then said something unintelligible, to which the motorcyclist replied: “YOU HIT MY BIKE, THAT’S WHY I STOP. YOU CONTINUE TO HIT MY BIKE, OK GOOD!”

He was then seen trying to retrieve something from his fallen motorcycle, to which the person filming the video asked the motorcyclist: “You good? Bro, you good? Okay?”

The motorcyclist then replied, once again stating: “NO! HE HIT MY BIKE!”

The cameraman then said: “No, I meant okay like… are you hurt?”

The man then said (again): “No, no, no, he hit my bike!” x999

Editor’s note: I think he hit his bike.

NATIONAL HEART CENTRE RESPONDS TO SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS ABOUT WOMAN’S DEATH

NATIONAL HEART CENTRE RESPONDS TO SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS ABOUT WOMAN’S DEATH

The National Heart Centre Singapore (NHCS) and the National University Heart Centre Singapore (NUHCS) have issued a joint statement addressing several social media posts relating to the death of a female heart patient 9 months after her second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine.

Here is their statement:

𝐉𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐛𝐲 𝐍𝐔𝐇𝐂𝐒 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐍𝐇𝐂𝐒

We are aware of social media posts circulating online about the demise of a female heart patient nine months after her second dose of COVID-19 vaccine. The patient did not report feeling unwell nor had any allergic reaction after vaccination for both doses in April 2021.

The patient was first admitted to the National University Heart Centre, Singapore (NUHCS) for management of her cardiac condition in July 2021. At the time, COVID-19 vaccination was not assessed to be a direct cause of her heart failure. Other causal factors such as genetic causes were considered, taking into account her family history. Later in September, the patient underwent a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) heart scan, with the results suggestive of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (i.e. disease of the heart muscle) as the underlying cause of her condition.

The patient sought a second opinion and treatment for her cardiac condition at National Heart Centre Singapore (NHCS) in December 2021. During her hospitalisation, the medical team discussed with her and her family on how to better manage her cardiac condition with various device implantation options. As the patient needed time to consider the options, a follow-up appointment was scheduled in January 2022. Unfortunately, she passed away a day prior to the appointment. NHCS has met with the patient’s family and addressed their concerns.

We are saddened by her passing and would like to extend our deepest condolences to the bereaved family. The case was referred to the Coroner and investigations showed that the cause of death was dilated cardiomyopathy. We seek the public’s understanding to avoid speculation or spreading of rumours that may add to the family’s grief during this difficult time.

POLICE NSMAN SWUNG E-SCOOTER AT LTA OFFICER, JAILED & FINED

POLICE NSMAN SWUNG E-SCOOTER AT LTA OFFICER, JAILED & FINED

24 year old David Chan Wei Peng was given seven days of jail and fined $1,400 on Friday (28 Jan) for swinging his e-scooter at a LTA enforcement officer on 4 March 2021.

He was caught by the LTA officer for illegally riding his e-scooter on the footpath while he was on the way to Yishun North Neighbourhood Police Centre for his reservist.

He was a Police NSMan.

He will start his sentence after Chinese New Year, on 7 February 2022.

Three charges were brought against him and they include a count of using criminal force against a public servant and two charges which is under the Active Mobility Act of 2017.

What happened

Chan was riding his e-scooter which was not UL-2272 certified at the footpath along Gambas Avenue, Sembawang at 8:30am in the morning.

E-scooters which are classified under Personal Mobility Devices (PMDs) were already banned from the footpath since 3 April 2020.

Three LTA officers were inside an unmarked van when they spotted Chan and they parked the vehicle at the side of the road to take enforcement action against him.

One of the officers, Yeo Ying Xuan went to Chan and showed him his LTA pass and demanded him to stop riding.

Chan attempted to U-turn in a bid to flee, but Yeo grabbed on to his backpack resulting in a little fight which caused Yeo to suffer an abrasion on his left arm.

Yeo’s colleagues then came down from the van to assist him to handle Chan, but Chan swung his e-scooter at Yeo’s direction.

He then ran away as the other officer was approaching, dropping his e-scooter on the floor.

They finally managed to restrain him across the road after a short chase.

Unrepresented in court

A jail term was sought by the prosecutor who noted that even though the e-scooter did not hit the officer, the risk of potential harm was there.

Chan was not represented in court and pleaded for only a fine with no jail term.

Penalties

He could have been jailed up to four years and/or fined for using criminal force against a public servant.

Up to three months jail term and/or a fine of up to $5,000 could have been given to him for riding a PMD which is not UL-2272 certified as it is a safety regulation that reduces the risk of the PMD catching fire.

Up to three months jail term and/or a fine of up to $1,000 could have been given to him for failing to comply with an enforcement officer in uniform orders to stop.

VICTIM LOST $8,000 IN 48 HOURS BY JOB SCAM VIA TELEGRAM

I was first contacted by someone called Michelle chia working for “recruit express” from Telegram asking if I wanted a freelance job.

I agreed and gave my contact details and after which, a woman call elise lee yee wen on WhatsApp explaining that she’s from Moni and offering me a marketing freelance job where I increase the view rate of products just simply by clicking.

I can earn $90/day and the task takes about 2 hours to complete. I was told to register as an agent and sign up on the website moni-c.

I hop on the opportunity thinking there’s nothing to lose yet and she also instructs me to help her complete her account on a daily basis which then I can receive 20% dividends on her account. at the start, i have to complete 30 orders which is to click 30 times and then I can withdraw the money on the same day.

The top-up process is to pay now the amount of money to recharge on the website to various merchants and send screenshots to moni customer service via WhatsApp. In the course of working for 3 days, I have transferred to about 4 different people namely goh jianhui, jovan wong, jiaming chee and kasthuri malik.

I JOINED ON THE 19 JAN 2022 AND WORK TILL 21 JAN 2022. on the 2nd day, she asks me to top up and be a bronze member so that I can earn more and do more times on one single day. so I did and that is when I start to panic because I have to up close to $3000 in one shot in order to complete just 1 order. at first, i did “earn” about $300+ for the first two days which is on the 3rd when I was required to top up so much money that i do not have enough anymore and I try to plead with her to help me and she refused.

I knew then it was a scam and I lodged a police report the next day citing the incident. in total, i lost $8000 as I transfer from my uob and dbs account all via paynow.

LOCAL WRITES POST ABOUT WOMAN WHO TRIED TO STEAL HER HUSBAND

LOCAL WRITES POST ABOUT WOMAN WHO TRIED TO STEAL HER HUSBAND

To the woman who tried to pursue my husband and failed.

I had many awful things that I wanted to say to you the moment I discovered your intentions with him. When I found out, saying a lame sorry indirectly doesn’t even encompass the magnitude of what I have caught you trying to do.

You have quite a reputation among our mutual friends so it wasn’t hard to learn about you and your shameless past. If the friends who know all 3 of us and no one is on your side what does it say about you?

Do I hate you for a while? Yes. But I learnt that my husband was also at fault. He should have stayed away from you like everyone else. If no one liked being around you, there must be a reason why. I start to know why you behaved the way you did with him because you are one super needy messed up person. But it doesn’t excuse you for disrespecting me and saying all those disgusting and shameless words to him in your desperate attempt to try to steal him.

I’m glad he didn’t fall for your manipulative attempts to try to dig info out of him. It showed me that he respected our union. You have managed to trap him to be unable to avoid helping you. And yet you are unable to make him fall for you. No matter how pathetic and needy you behaved, not once did he let you into our world. I think you’re a little nutty to start behaving towards him as though you are part of my family and calling yourself ‘our kid’ when you are as old as me. I’m glad not once did he acknowledge your nutty sentences.

Our friends told me you aren’t worth my time. Not even worth a slap from me. I fully agree. I also didn’t want to give you the satisfaction of hearing anything from me. But here I am, writing to get it off my chest once and for all. I guess gossip spreads fast. No wonder you’ve been hiding since.

I’m glad you have no intention to marry because women like you, shouldn’t. One of my friends told me she thought it was odd that you started to message her husband over something trivial. Well, now we all know what you’re up to. Covid must have made you more desperate for attention. Go find a new hobby!

ELDERLY MAN LIVING ALONE IN AN EMPTY HOUSE WITH AN EMPTY FRIDGE

ELDERLY MAN LIVING ALONE IN AN EMPTY HOUSE WITH AN EMPTY FRIDGE

Singaporean activist Gilbert Goh shared a story about an elderly man that he met during an outreach programme to help the less fortunate, and shed light on his living conditions.

Here is the story:

This elderly uncle has an almost empty home derived of anything except a fridge with nothing inside, a small fan without a cover and a pillow for his rest.

His clothes are neatly folded up on a dresser table and there is no TV, washing machine, radio, bed or cooking stove. A bicycle parked inside seems to be his only valuable possession.

It is however very clean and neat without any untidy clutter which usually accompanies most rental units we visited. He is also healthy-looking and simple in the way he lives.

When we first enter the house, he immediately brought us to the closed window which has some water droplets trickling down from the upstairs unit. He says that he has to close the window as the water will splash in together with the wind.

He next shows us a malfunctioning circuit board which troubles him a lot as he couldn’t use the two wall plugs if he switches in the light. He could only use the plugs if the lights are switched off.

We asked him what are his immediate needs after passing him our bento meal and a $50 angbao.

He pointed at the row of neatly-folded clothes and trousers and wanted a clothes rack so he can hang them up properly. He doesn’t want the proper cupboard or any storage cabinet.

Our volunteers have ordered a clothes rack and stand fan for him last night and hopefully, the items will arrive next week so he can live better.

We left him after a 15-minute visit knowing that we have at least met one of his immediate needs.

Do something good for Singapore – a charity movement to alleviate the hardships of displaced elderly Singaporeans.

He is appealing for witnesses and/or dashcam video recordings of the incident, which happened at Serangoon North Avenue 2.

He added that he has already made a police report.

Netizens comments

  • Uncle you can’t park there. Your mom handicap not you handicap. You need to have the class 2 handicap passengers label on your front windscreen to stop there for up to a maximum of 1 hour for boarding and alighting ONLY.
