A 92 year old woman who has been living alone for years was found dead in her flat at Circuit Road last night.
There was no fire but burn marks could be seen in the kitchen. People also heard an explosion that might have been due to a gas stove. The police are still investigating.
She was said to be healthy and spotted just that morning when she was on the way to buy some groceries.
I am writing this with the intention of getting more signatures to submit a successful petition to our PM Lee Hsien Loong, so far I have about 1000 supports from motorists in Singapore to ban heavy vehicles like buses from CBD during peak hours.
Reason being, there are just too many buses there plying the streets of Orchard, Bras Basah and Shenton Way and the roads are always congested enough already, we can’t possibly be giving way to them all the time as they are slow and giving way may seem like a 3 second thing, but once the person who give way meets a red light, it means extra 3 to 5 minutes of delay and we are going to be late for work.
The roads there would require buses to flush two lanes out to go straight or keep right in order for them to turn right, I have submitted feedback to LTA asking buses and heavy vehicles to refrain from turning right in the CBD area and to detour to avoid right turns as it is very dangerous.
So now I hope garner more support for my petition to be successful, with so many accidents involving heavy vehicles, it’s high time we ban them from entering CBD during peak hours where traffic are super heavy, there’s is always the MRT, taxis, grab and uber that commuters and take from a nearby MRT station to work or just hitch someone else’s ride.
My message to LTA, it’s really high time to ban heavy vehicles during peak hours in CBD for the safety of the more than 60,000 car owners on the roads.
Please help by sharing this up, I need to garner as many support as possible, please support for the safety of all road users!

Law Minister K Shanmugam said that the law will lose its reliability and become tough to administer when punishment executed in criminal cases does not echo the weight of public opinion with society at large finding it discriminating.
He added that does not means that the law would bow to public pressure. In order to understand where the weight of public opinion is you and reflect what the people feel is the correct penalty you enhance the penalty thus conduct what should be more severely punished.
Mr K Shanmugam said , “Penalties and criminal laws can only be enforced if people believe that they are fair and that certain conduct ought to be made criminal … Otherwise they lose credibility.”
A public outcry due to observations that the sentences deal out were too light in the couple of high profile cases, such as the ones involving sex offender Joshua Robinson and the City Harvest Church leadership.
An online petition appealing for a harsher sentence for Robinson has since gathered almost 30,000 signatories. After Robinson was sentenced to four years’ jail for having sex with two 15-year-old girls.
As a result Shanmugam is guiding his ministries to re-examine punishments for sex offenders, as well to evaluate laws on other offences.
In the recent of due to a Singaporean couple who were jailed for starving their maid over a period of 15 months, he make know that this month in Parliament a assessment of the laws relating to the abuse of foreign domestic workers was done.
While the wife was sentenced to three months’ jail,the husband was sentenced to three weeks’ jail and fined S$10,000.
Even so that these reviews should not be taken as an prosecution of the work of the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC).
In the case of offences that have been flagged recently for review drugs, drink-driving, and false and malicious allegations against public officers Shanmugam said public reaction to individual cases will not automatically lead to a review of the laws.
But the minister said Shanmugam added that public reaction to individual cases does not automatically lead to a review of the laws, pointing out that drugs, drink-driving, and false and malicious allegations against public officers are some offences that have been flagged recently for review.
According to Shin Min Daily News, the Singapore police went to the Toa Payoh Lorong 8 hawker centre and spoke to the hawkers there. It is believed that the police are there to gather information about the recent incident which caused many netizens to be unhappy of the couple that abuse an old man physically and verbally.
This was after a video showing an old man shoved from behind at the food centre received widespread condemnation from the public.
From the reporter’s understanding, one plain clothes police officer was there speaking with the hawkers. The newspaper report said it was understood that many Singaporeans were unhappy watching the video that made its rounds online and police reports were made.
It was reported that the police were there to understand more about what happened.

Dear SU,
Singapore has one ugly side “reserving” table with a packet of tissue. I see no reason for me to entertain that packet of tissue and I feel embarrassed when foreigners ask me why can’t he take the seat.
People can even have conflict over “ownership” of the table.
This is one ugly culture that needs to stop. I see no reason to entertain.

Dear Singapore Uncensored,
I have an issue with Samsung which i think you may want to share with your readers.
I would like to bring to attention on what happened to my Samsung Note 5 phone. I have been using it for 1.5 years and recently it started to overheat when I am charging the phone. The design itself is flawed from the beginning as there is no battery outlet. As a result of overheating, the front plastic film started to peel by itself despite that the phone has never been dropped or got in contact with water before. I even got a tempered glass screen protector on the phone since the beginning.
On 10th March, I went to the Samsung Service Centre at Plaza Singapura to see if they can replace the screen for me and was quoted a ridiculous amount of $260. I said no and requested for their Customer Care Unit to contact me instead. A few days later, a staff by the name of Clarice representing their Customer Care Unit contacted me and when I explained the situation to her, she kept insisting that the peel ‘could’ be due to the physical damage and insist that there is nothing she can do as the phone is out of warranty after 1 year. She also insisted that the peel is definitely not through overheating when she has not even assessed or seen my phone.
When I told her that I am not willing to pay the ridiculous sky high amount and requested for the cost breakdown as to why it cost so much, she started to push the blame again to the phone being out of warranty and she cannot do anything to help. Do note that the $260 is just to replace the front plastic. With this amount, I can use it to purchase a new phone already. Furthermore, I have addressed my concern about safety issues as the peel came out due to overheating and I am worried that the phone may explode when use the phone.
If this is the way Samsung conducts their business and does not care about the safety of their customer (even with the recent cases of exploding note 7 phones), then I believe that the advertisement campaign they have launched recently to claim they have improved their safety check is rubbish. It is only a mere trick to get customers to regain customer’s confidence to put our money with them.
Once something bad happens, they do not take up the responsibility and starts to push away the blame. For the new S8 launch, I encourage everyone to wait till it is absolutely safe before buying as Samsung does not take up any responsibility after 1 year. Think twice before you choose Samsung phones.
