JAYWALKER CROSSES ROAD WITHOUT LOOKING, RUN OVER BY MOTORCYCLE

A netizen shared a video of an accident that happened between a cyclist and a motorcycle.

The cyclist was seen in the video crossing the road and pushing his bicycle across without looking out for traffic.

He was looking at the other direction of the road instead of the direction where vehicles would be coming from.

The motorcycle then crashed into him as a result.

The accident happened on 14 November 2021 at Parkway Parade Shopping Centre.

Here is what the netizen had to say:

“Hope this video serves to educate pedestrians on crossing the road right and safely.

This uncle was just about 10 steps away from a pedestrian crossing but he chose to jaywalk.

Delivery-rider couldn’t stop in time and they collided.

Lucky no one was hurt.

Both myself and the rider made sure the uncle was fine.”

36 Y.O MAN FINED FOR URINATING INSIDE WOMAN’S SHOE

Low Yan Long, 36-years-old, was fined $3,200 on 16 November for urinating inside a woman’s shoe as well as not wearing his mask properly.

He pleaded guilty to committing mischief by urinating in a woman’s shoe and not wearing his mask properly.

He was previously fined $5,000 for pleasuring himself while sniffing a women’s shoe at Toa Payoh and Ang Mo Kio.

Low had a fetish for women’s shoes and would imagine beautiful women wearing the shoes while smelling them before he stimulated himself and urinated inside them.

He had asked the judge issue a gag order to protect his identity, not wanting his name to be published by the media.

The judge told him that there was no basis to do so as the court proceedings were open to the public.

What happened?

On 3 August 2021, Low felt an urge to urinate at around 6.40pm.

He had just finished his job as a funeral services provider (he worked as a freelance undertaker) and was about to leave.

He then went up to the 10th floor of the victim’s HDB block and walked down to the 9th floor.

Low pulled his face mask down to his chin and spotted a shoe rack outside the victim’s home.

He picked up a pink shoe from the rack after unzipping his pants and started sniffing it before urinating inside the shoe.

He then placed the shoe back on the rack and left the scene, as a motion sensor detector on the victim’s front door detected his presence.

The victim and her husband then saw Low on their CCTV footage and went to check on the shoe, where they then found wet patches and white spots on it.

COMPANY CHARGED FOR UNAUTHORISED DRAIN WORKS THAT CAUSED PASIR RIS FLOOD

The flooding at a Pasir Ris traffic junction made the headlines back in August, with 1 person ending up hospitalised and 5 more needed to be rescued by the SCDF.

At least 13 vehicles were found to be submerged partially in the water.

The incident happened at the junction of Tampines Avenue 10 and Pasir Ris Drive 12.

Facing 3 charges

The Samwoh Corporation was charged on 9 November with 3 counts of altering a drain, obstructing the flow of a stormwater drainage system, and building openings in the drain without approval or a certificate of clearance.

They are being accused of altering a drain at the junction by taking away an existing 1.8m wide, 4m deep drain and allegedly replacing it with a shallower one that was 3m deep.

they are also being accused of erecting scaffolds while building the new drain and obstructing the flow of the stormwater drainage system.

The company allegedly continued placing the scaffolds inside even after the drain was built, as well as building two drain openings to channel water from the new drain to the existing drain.

They had done the latter without approval.

One of the openings of the drain was too small and the other one was incomplete, affecting the entire stormwater drainage system.

DUO WHO RESCUED DRIVER FROM SLE CAR CRASH AWARDED SCDF MEDALS

The SCDF commended two men for their heroic efforts in saving a man who was stuck inside a car following a car crash inside the SLE tunnel.

The man was saved moments before the car burst into flames.

Presented with award

The two men, Johnson Chia Yong Lee and Azlee Bin Abd Shukor were presented with the SCDF Community Lifesaver Award by COL Lim Beng Hui, Commander 3rd SCDF Division.

SCDF said:

“You might have seen videos circulating online a few weeks ago of smoke billowing dramatically out from the SLE underpass. What you didn’t see was the teamwork of a dynamic duo to save the day…

On 2 November 2021, during the early evening rush hour traffic at about 5.00pm, two gentlemen rescued a driver from a car that was on fire at the exit 1 slip road of the underpass along SLE (towards BKE).

One of these gentlemen, Mr Johnson Chia Yong Lee, was driving along SLE when he saw a car careen across the road and hit the left wall of the underpass. He saw black smoke emitting from the damaged car and immediately stopped his car. Driven by a sense of duty, he got out of his car and rushed over to help.

When he reached the affected car, a fire was developing within it. The driver was still in the burning car and in a daze! Mr Johnson opened the driver’s door and swiftly brought the dazed driver out of the car.

Another gentleman, Mr Azlee Bin Abd Shukor, was driving a van when he spotted black smoke and flames in the SLE underpass. Then, he saw Mr Johnson waving frantically for assistance. Realizing the precarious situation, he stopped his van alongside Mr Johnson.

Working as a team, the duo brought the dazed driver into Mr Azlee’s van. They then drove further down the road towards safety, away from the intense heat and smoke of the burning car.

For their gallant rescue and timely intervention, Mr Johnson and Mr Azlee were each presented with the SCDF Community Lifesaver Award by COL Lim Beng Hui, Commander 3rd SCDF Division, today.

Kudos to Mr Johnson and Mr Azlee, our brave heroes!”

S’PORE LAUNCHING VACCINATED TRAVEL LANE WITH INDIA

The Ministry of Health said on 15 November that Singapore will be extending its Vaccinated Travel lane (VTL) scheme to more countries, including India, Indonesia, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.

The VTLs with India and Indonesia are planned for launch on 29 November while the VTLs for the rest are planned to launch on 6 December.

India recognising S’pore vaccination certs

Minister of Transport S Iswaran said at the Multi-Ministry Taskforce press conference that Singapore and India have been in talks about the mutual recognition of vaccination certificates of both countries.

As of last Friday, India has been recognizing the certificates of vaccination by Singapore.

Iswaran said that fully vaccinated travelers from Singapore entering India will no longer be required to go through post-arrival tests home quarantine – they will only need to monitor themselves for 14 days upon arrival.

Discussions to resume scheduled commercial flights with India are underway and at the moment, only government charter relief flights are allowed into India.

The aim is to resume 2 VTL flights per day from Chennai, Delhi. and Mumbai by 29 November.

Indonesia VTL

Iswaran added that the upcoming VTL with Indonesia will be a unilateral lane for now as Indonesia remains closed to general travel, but they have started opening their borders.

The hope is that they will reopen their borders to travellers from Singapore soon.

He added that there will be 2 daily services between Singapore and Jakarta, which will eventually be increased to four.

Singapore to monitor global situation

Health minister Ong Ye Kung added that Singapore will continue to monitor the situation in the world closely and to make sure that travel doesn’t strain out healthcare system.

He noted the rising infections in Europe and said that the overall infection rates in other countries are comparable to Singapore.

Ong said that the task force didn’t deem it necessary to remove the VTL or reduce the VTL quotas with the Netherlands despite the social restrictions announced by their government in response to their infection rates experiencing an upward trajectory.

Ong said:

“Import cases or imported cases are still a very small fraction of total community cases and do not significantly affect local transmissions.”

“In addition, there is a quota of only six flights a week from the Netherlands and most importantly, VTL travellers are all fully vaccinated and tested before departure and upon arrival.”

GUY WENT TO UNIQLO TO PRINT T-SHIRT WITH KURT TAY’S FACE ON IT

A video emerged online showing a guy visiting a Uniqlo outlet for a very special purpose – to print Kurt Tay’s face on a t-shirt (oh and to get Christmas presents as well).

He was seen going up the escalator towards the shop, before heading to the printing station to finalise his designs.

We then see the printing process of the t-shirt, as it emerges fresh from the printing machine.

The t-shirt was then packed into plastic packaging and all ready for collection.

The guy then posed with his new loots, with Kurt Tay’s face right there staring at the viewer.

You can watch the full video at the end of this post.

Singapore’s biggest superstar

Kurt Tay made his name on social media after his numerous antics over the years (think along the echelons of Steven Lim).

He participated in the inaugural Singapore Idol competition back in 2004, where he sang his rendition of Marty Robbins’ Long Long Ago, mispronouncing a bunch of words and turning the song into Nong Nong Ago.

He then released a single in 2012, which was uploaded onto Steven Lim’s YouTube channel and even became available to sing at all Party World KTV outlets.

But netizens were not impressed by the song.

Kurt Tay then hit the headlines when he got chest implants because he wanted to “boost his confidence” in 2013.

However, he didn’t go for a gender change operation because he was still attracted to women.

He later married his Vietnamese wife, Kim Ngan.

He became famous (or infamous depending on your outlook) for his numerous selfies on public transport wearing a WWE title belt.

He also dubs himself Singapore’s superstar celebrity and calls himself “Kurtista, Kurtberg, Kurtkishi”.

RESTAURANT CHARGED WOMAN 50 CENTS FOR “HIGH QUALITY” CHOPSTICKS

RESTAURANT CHARGED WOMAN 50 CENTS FOR “HIGH QUALITY” CHOPSTICKS

A netizen shared how she visited a BBQ restaurant at Prinsep Street for a meal when she discovered a puzzling charge on her receipt.

She was apparently charged 50 cents for each chopstick that she used.

The woman then told her mother about the incident, and she is considering filing a complaint to CASE (Consumer Association of Singapore).

50 cents for chopsticks

The woman was dining at the restaurant with a colleague of hers and after their meal, as they were settling the bill, she discovered that she was charged separately for the chopsticks.

Chopsticks usually come in pairs, and she was charged 50 cents for each chopstick, hence $1 for the pair of chopsticks.

Seeing as they had no choice, the duo paid the bill despite being surprised at the unreasonable charges.

Chopsticks were “imported” and “high quality”

According to Shin Min Daily News, a staff member of the BBQ restaurant reasoned that the wooden chopsticks (which were disposable) were “specially imported” from China and that they are “high end”.

The staff member said that before they moved to their outlet at Prinsep Street, they provided the cutleries for free, but those were “typical chopsticks”.

After their expansion, they then decided to “upgrade” to the new “high-end” ones.
