A Singaporean couple who allegedly dumped a newborn baby in a food recycling bin in Taipei, have had an arrest warrant issued against them and a manhunt is now on for the two in Taiwan.

The district prosecutor’s office reportedly obtained “objective evidence” proving the baby was alive at birth and has since reclassified the case as a homicide.

An arrest warrant for the couple was issued for suspected office of homicide and disposal of the body.

It is worth noting that Singapore does not have an extradition treaty with Taiwan and that the couple can only be arrested by the Taiwanese authorities if they enter Taiwan.

The Taiwanese authorities can request for assistance from the Singapore police to obtain evidence though.

The Singapore police is in contadct with the Taiwanese authorities at the moment, and are waiting for formalities to be done so as to better understand the assistance they need.

Facebook satire and meme page, Singaplex, posted a meme on their page a couple of days ago that was allegedly poking fun at the victims of the Tanjong Pagar car crash that saw 5 people dead and left 1 in critical condition in the ICU.

Singaplex posted a meme with the caption:

ME AND THE BOIS AFTER EATING KOREAN BBQ IN TANJONG PAGAR DURING CNY BE LIKE

And accompanied the caption with four race cars getting ready for a drag race.

The caption was purportedly referencing the alleged activities that the deceased were partaking in before their fatal joyride that led to the crash.

They also captioned the post:

ride or die

Naturally, the comments have been largely negative, with many netizens calling them out for being insensitive and that this meme was made “too soon”.
