A total of 30 cats will be up for adoption after MND sends an order for Cat Museum to move out. The cat museum opened in 2015 at Purvis street for visitors to play with cats and hopefully adopt instead of buying cats.

The cat museum utilises level 2 for the cat museum but due to the increasing amount of cats, the owner of Cat museum had no choice but to let some of the cats stay up in Level 3. According to the agreement, the owners violate. The owner is now forced to let go of Level 3 and 30 of the cats would have no place to stay.

Please help if you can. Adopt!

The problem of rental bikes being park anywhere and anyhow as the users deem fit, could soon be over. It was revealed yesterday that the three major bike share firms in Singapore, Ofo, oBike and MoBike, have a proposed agreement with the LTA in place, along with 15 town councils under the PAP banner to tackle this problem.

This includes the development of a single app platform for the general public to report illegally parked bikes; a common response time among the three operators to pick up these illegally parked bikes; and the adoption of geofencing technology by the end of the year. Geofencing technology basically means that users have to park their rented bikes at designated areas, or they ca be fined.

It was not announced though why the Town Councils involved are only the PAP managed ones, while the only WP Town Council was not in the picture.

Loan scams are still prevalent these days – as proven by this particular Burmese S pass holder who recently fell prey to one of them.

The victim had borrowed a loan of $3,000 from a lender through phone calls, just by presenting his identity or S Pass card. No meetups or signed documents were required. However, he only received $300, and was told that it was a trial loan.

Although the victim decided to return the $300 the next day, he was told that he would have to pay an additional $200 for going against the initial agreement. This was followed by threats of pouring paint and setting fire to the victim’s home. Fearing the consequences, the victim succumbed to the lender and paid the extra money.

After four days, the victim then received a Whatsapp message threatening him to pay another $500 to settle the incident. On top of being threatened over the phone this time, he also received threatening photos.

Three videos, showing past incidents of the lender splashing paint and setting fire to others’ homes, were sent to the victim as well. Upon consultation with the Crime Library, the victim has since filed a police report.

I’ve been staying off FB but circumstances has now forced me back on.

On 13 July, I was at a candlelight vigil for Prabagaran Srivijayan, on the night before he was executed by hanging at Changi prison. Almost 2 months after, on the Sunday morning of 3rd September, I received a hand-delivered notice for a police interview, in relation to the “offence of Taking Part in a Public Assembly without a Permit”.

Yesterday, when I called to reschedule the interview to Friday 2 pm (tomorrow), Insp asked if I would be traveling overseas. I said I would be going to Perth on 15 Sept for work before returning to Singapore on 17 Sept. Insp told me that I would not be allowed to travel overseas since the investigation was ongoing. I was appalled. This sounded not only extremely unreasonable, but was it even legal? Since I have not been charged or put under arrest, can the police take away my right to travel without any court order?

So anyway, I asked to clarify the matter and was transferred to the Chief Investigating Officer. He reiterated that travel would not be allowed as long as investigation is ongoing. I told him that if the investigation took one year, then it would be most extreme if my right to travel was suspended for that whole period. Chief IO then added that the first period of investigation would be taken as until the scheduled interview. After that, an assessment would be made as to whether I was allowed to travel. I then asked what law or what procedure allowed the police to take such a course of action. Chief IO told me it was the Criminal Procedure Code, Chapter 68, Section 112.

As you can see, Section 112 relates to the surrender of travel documents for persons suspected of any offence. But since I have not been ordered to surrender my passport, how can the police unilaterally suspend my right to travel?

It may seem a trivial thing, this suspension of the right to travel. But there’s a bigger issue about proper procedure, and about the rights of citizens and the boundaries of police power. It’s also an example of how civil rights in this country are being gradually stripped away, inch by inch, little by little, until one day, we realize that the only rights we have left is the right to obey. You have been warned.
