ANGRY MAN SAID HE WANTS TO KNOCK DOWN EVERY PEDESTRIAN AND START MOLESTING

A man who is angry for all sorts of reasons posted that he is angry over pedestrians on cycling paths and criticizes the legal system in Singapore.

He later said that he will get a good education so he can start committing molestation.

Shortly after his post went viral, he removed the post and claims

“post removed because people don’t understand simple English to differentiate between example and intentions “

His Original Facebook post below:

Ok.. I am gonna ride down today and knockdown every single pedestrian i see.. Just because there are a few(though lots of them) who simply refuse to walk on their walking lane and walk on cycling paths that could endanger riders and pedestrians alike.

Can right?? It’s the right thing to do right?? Same analogy different outlook.. How big of a hypocrite can this country be.. I seriously am tired of trying to be a good law-abiding citizen.

With the majority that has a head but lacks basic logic in terms of critical judgments.. Punish n punish n punish. Like as if ur hands are clean af. Like as if your the judge with a mind so clear and fair. Even the judges in Singapore nowadays are being dickheads.

Yes! I am angry. rm gonna get an education as my next move.. Climb as high as can go in the grade ladders.. Get a high paying job. (Trust me, I know i’m capable).

Then I will commit the act of molestation and for sure„ because of the good grade, I have„ the money I possess„ I will receive leniency from the court.. Right?? That’s doing the greater good right?? For society right?? Seriously what is wrong with the govt and public at large??

What have u become?? You screamed the cry of bigotry at the very presence of it in a foreigner yet u practiced bigotry at its core and try to cover it up with that false sense of righteousness?? Dear LKY. Please wake up. I am not the one who favors u in ur time.. But, I am very sure that whatever is happening now is utter BSI And you would have opposed to it.. Your ways of maintaining ur grounds with an iron fist are not exactly what I favored, but still there exists a sense of logic and stability in the actions taken by you.. It’s not ideal but effective nonetheless without any obvious direct damage done to any parties.. But this.. Now.. Bullying us directly in our faces. Is really becoming intolerable

GRAB ANNOUNCE SLOWER FOOD DELIVERY AFTER THE BAN OF PMD ON FOOTPATHS

After the announcement of banned of PMD on the footpaths.

Grab publish an update to all Grab food customers that they might expect delivery cancellations or slow delivery time.

Important update on GrabFood delivery timings..

Dear Valued User,
Thank you for your continued support for GrabFood.

As you may be aware the Singapore government will prohibit the riding of electric scooters (e-scooters) on all footpaths from 5 November 2019. This means that our delivery-partners who are currently using e-Scooters to deliver your orders will need a longer time to do so as they are required to dismount and walk for a large part of their journey.

We seek for your understanding that there may be a longer waiting time for your food orders or you may experience cancellations as our delivery-partners may not be able to cover the delivery distance on foot.

Grab will work hard to deliver your favourite meals in a timely manner again, and we are actively helping our affected partners to transit to another mode of transport where preferred.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
