A popular local Singer/Songwriter has taken to her facebook page to rant about cars making loud explosive noises where she lives. 1 bang 2.mp4 In her post, Beverly Morata Grafton pointed out in her post she has been experiencing "exhausts have been popping off like gunshots from 10:30pm and counting. And like every weekend since mid April, they will do so until 4am plus in the morning..." From her photos and videos that she provided, we gathered that these incidents happenen along Yishun Ave 1, where Sinopec Yishun is situated at. This stretch has a speed camera but car enthusiasts are known to still gun their cars there while heading towards the Yishun Dam. We will not go into the rest of her post as it can be a bit demeaning and vulgar. For those who are curious, you can view her post below. In the video that was taken on the 25th of April, we could identify a white Volkswagen Golf accelerating away quickly from the petrol station before letting off some loud bangs, much to the annoyance of the songwriter. Being a post on the writer's personal page, it was no surprise to find the comments supporting her views. But what do you guys think? More pops and bangs for everyone? Or should we cooperate for quieter neighbourhoods?

We know PMDs can be fast if you know what to do to increase its performance. Check out how this rider goes from Yishun to Ang Mio Kio in less than 5 mins. Of course, being electric-powered, there is plenty of torque to pull away from the rest of the traffic. The camera car gets dropped once the lights turn green but soon manages to follow behind after some time. No traffic lights along Lentor Avenue? Let's switch into 'max speed mode' then! we are no scientists or mathematicians but a wild guess probably puts the rider speed above the road's speed limit of 70km/h. Soon, he encounters traffic and goes past easily. The rest of the video then shows him passing more vehicles like a pro. Rider even checks his blind spot when changing lane. Bravo! By now, it is 4 minutes into the length of the video and the rider is already traveling along Ang Mo Kio Ave 6. Thankfully, we can see from the video that he did not get into any accident riding on the road illegally. Here's the full video from SG Road Vigilante.

Royce, one of the co-owners of the establishment told Mothership that he had “never experienced” an all-female car wash before. He stated that the reason for using female washers is to “create a fun and unique washing experience which we cannot achieve the same results with males (sic)”. That curiosity, mixed with the inevitable “first-mover” advantage, spurred him to set up such a company. Opening on August 9 with a promotion It will open on August 9, 2019, with a promotion to boot. And while one might think it’s a pop-up stall type of scenario, disappearing behind a wall of foam after the last fireworks go off, Royce has big plans for the venture. Invariably, issues of sexism might rise, with some questioning whether the women will be used as sexualised props instead of being seen as actual employees. This is a claim spurred on by the negative associations with the previous bikini carwash in Singapore. Royce, however, was quite adamant that this is a whole different ball game. When we broached the subject of the possibility of girls in bikinis, Royce quickly shut down the idea that his staff would be in swimwear. “Mrscarwash is a legitimate and a non shady female carwash business. Hence, our girls will be wearing personalised crop tops with shorts and flip flops.” “I do not intend to exploit any females to dress in a revealing or skimpily manner and it’s going to be just another job for them,” he added. He also reiterated that it will be “just another car wash business”. “Frankly speaking, I choose to believe that concerns of sexism may float up from the general public but i strongly believe that with proper honest working ethics, even if it involves fully female washers, it’ll be just another car wash business where customers get their car cleaned up.” The car wash will open their doors on August 9, 2019.

Last night went there with a group of friends, saw alot of modified Singapore and Malaysian cars. Saw 1 Malaysian car (can't rem the model) went fast past us and fire came out from his exhaust. He repeatd this for quite a few laps. A good car showroom place

This is one of the place 7 days a week you can see people parking their cars along the dam, TCSS and enjoy the nice scenery. Soon it will be gone ...... http://www.asiaone.com/Motoring/News/Story...227-330429.html Two new road projects to improve connectivity in S'pore's north The Government will start on two new road projects to improve overall road connectivity and capacity in the north to support upcoming and future developments, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said on Monday. It will expand the existing interchange that connects Central Expressway (CTE), Tampines Expressway (TPE) and Seletar Expressway (SLE). At a cost of $75 million, the expansion will improve connectivity between Yishun, the new Seletar Aerospace Park (SAP) and the expressway network. As part of the project, four new vehicular flyovers will be constructed and five new road connections will be created. With the flyovers, motorists travelling on Seletar West Link will be able to access both the CTE and Yio Chu Kang Road, and vice versa. Those on the westbound TPE will also be able to access Seletar West Link. SECOND PROJECT The LTA will also construct a new road link between TPE and Yishun Avenue 6. As part of this new road link, a new dual two-lane road from Yishun Ave 1 to Yishun Ave 6 will be built. A stretch of Yishun Ave 1 will also be re-marked from the current dual one-lane road to a dual two-lane road. The existing Seletar West Link will be widened from a dual one-lane road to a dual three-lane road as well. When completed, motorists can look forward to better connectivity and faster travelling time between the three connecting expressways, Yishun Town and SAP. For example, motorists travelling from Yishun Town to CTE can expect a time savings of up to 10 mins. The completion of the new road link will also improve traffic conditions along Lentor Avenue and Yishun Avenue 2. Tenders for the new road link between TPE and Yishun Avenue 6 will be called shortly. Construction is expected to start in the third quarter of 2012. According to a my paper report, road-diversion works will be carried out during off-peak hours. Both projects are targeted for completion by 2015.[attachment=64924:Yishun_Dam.jpg]

For all the bros and sis that live in the northern part of Singapore. This thread to share news and happenings around our area. New places to go, new food to eat, new corners to explore. If you are closer to KSL than Takashimaya, you are technically in the North.

Replying to media enquiries, LTA also said, “We are currently embarking on a sizable scale of expansion projects for passengers, pedestrians and cyclists. Coordination is very important.” “We should have better internal coordination for this new bicycle path along Yishun Central, to discover earlier the need of a new bus-stop along the same stretch of road,” it said. Again, stressing that it was an isolated incident, it said, “This is an isolated incident. Nonetheless, we have used it as an example to improve coordination between different projects, so as to avoid inconvenience and concerns.” http://www.tremeritus.com/2015/01/19/new-bicycle-lane-demolished-upon-completion-by-lta/ I wonder how many more goes unnoticed and unreported?

An additional station will be built between Yishun and Sembawang on the North-South Line, and it will be known as Canberra station, said Transport Minister Lui Tuck Yew on Friday (June 27). He said the feasibility study has been completed, and the Land Transport Authority will provide more details on it later. Mr Lui was speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony for the Thomson Line, which will be opened in three phases in 2019, 2020 and 2021. When fully opened, the line will bring an additional 60 per cent capacity to the North-South corridor, he said. When fully completed in 2021, the Thomson Line will have 22 stations, including six interchanges. The line will see a projected daily ridership of about 400,000 commuters, and will serve several housing estates in the north and central areas – including Woodlands, Sin Ming, Thomson and Kim Seng – and connect them to the city and the rest of the MRT network. The 30km-long line will also be eventually linked to Johor Bahru in Malaysia, he said. Apart from the new line, Mr Lui also spoke about the planned expansions to the existing rail network – the West Loop of the Punggol LRT, which will open on Sunday (June 29); the North-South Line Extension, which will open later this year; the Tuas West Extension, which will open in 2016; and the Downtown Line, which will be fully opened in 2017.

Residents of Yishun Street 81 spotted a 5kg potted plant lodged in the windscreen of a Toyota sedan that was parked in the Housing Board estate on Sunday. The police said yesterday that they received a call about the incident at Block 871 on Sunday at 2.23pm. The case has been classified as a rash act and investigations are ongoing. The potted plant apparently fell from the ninth floor of the HDB block. Source: http://www.straitstimes.com/news/singapore/courts-crime/story/5kg-potted-plant-lands-parked-car-20140603

This morning around 10.20 am, a black Malaysian plate proton JGP1805 suddenly stopped and reversed after it turned right into the carpark turn-in, hitting my stationary car's right bumper. Bloody faggot reversed back into the main road and drove off when I got down from my car and approached him to exchange particulars. If any bros spot this car pls let me know. Thanks.

NEA investigating sewer pumping incident in Yishun NEA seems to be very busy lately, from the ceiling cleaning to trade fair to haze and now gutter oil. Another article also appeared in 154th today, polis also looked bad, culprits run away. If no wrong done, wonder why they run away. Illegal immigrant? No work permit? or really guilty of pumping the sewage oil out?

Was watching the Ch8 news. Water in Yishun is smelly and rashes are formed on skin after the water has been used for bathing. Any folks here affected?

Sooooooooooooo humble!!! Just like Dr Koh! Singaporeans should really wake up and reflect on themselves! Whole family earn $12k niah want to stay EC and drive BMW? Wah lan eh! Wake up your idea please! http://www.straitstimes.com/archive/sunday...yishun-20130113 Madam Speaker's staying put in Yishun Halimah's happy in her HDB home, so stop asking her if a new job means it is time to upgrade Published on Jan 13, 2013 By Radha Basu Senior Correspondent Madam Halimah Yacob has lived in the same five-room Housing Board flat in Yishun for 30 years. It has been the only home for three of her five children and it is where her two sons got married. A daughter may follow suit next year. Like most homes, it has seen sadness too: Her mother-in-law, who lived with the family, died there in 1999. But ask her if she is planning on moving any time soon, especially now that she is about to become Speaker of Parliament, and the answer is a firm "No". "I have been asked so often why I am still living in an HDB flat that I now ask those who ask me that question, 'Why not?' After all, more than 80 per cent of our population live in HDB flats and if it is good enough for them, it is good enough for me," she told The Sunday Times. The 58-year-old unionist- turned-politician, a tireless champion of workers, women and the poor, will be elected Singapore's first woman Speaker when Parliament sits tomorrow. In a nation of eager home upgraders, Madam Halimah acknowledges the weight of societal expectation that "when you hold a certain position, you must live in a certain type of property". "When I became an MP, everyone expected me to move to a private property. But I did not," she said. "The same thing happened when I became Minister of State, and now that I have been nominated to be Speaker of Parliament, people expect me to move." Yet, to her, a home is not merely a piece of property to be flipped for profit. It is, instead, a priceless repository of a lifetime of memories. "To me, a house is not just a place that we live in, but it is a home and a life that we build together as a family. It is a place where we bring up our children, share happy and sad moments, and where we seek solace and comfort after a long day at work," she said. The youngest of five children of a watchman and a food-seller, she grew up in a one-room home on Hindoo Road, and settled on Yishun by accident. After marrying businessman Mohammed Abdullah Alhabshee, 58, she wanted to live next to her mother, Madam Maimun Abdullah. When she heard that two sisters living in adjacent Yishun flats wanted to sell their units at the same time, she jumped at the chance. In the early 1980s, Yishun was nothing like the bustling township it is today. Madam Halimah recalled the days when, as a young union officer, she would buy groceries near her workplace to take home. "Things have changed so much. Yishun is now a mature estate." Her home is accessible to shops, the family doctor's clinic is nearby, public transport is convenient and the Khoo Teck Puat Hospital is a short distance away. All of this is important now that her mother, who is 88 and still lives next door, has dementia. When Madam Halimah's children were young, Madam Maimun helped look after them. Now the roles have reversed. "It is the children's turn to show her love and affection," said Madam Halimah. "So they take turns to take her for her medical appointments, and it is really convenient when the GP and hospital are both near our home. "When emergencies happen, like when my mother had a fall and I was at my Meet-the-People Session at 11pm, the children could quickly take her to the hospital." Home also involves forming and fostering relationships in the community. The woman who runs the local provision shop, for example, still asks about Madam Halimah every time a family member stops by her store. "Occasionally, I visit her shop and she shares with me her woes about the rental costs and how hard she has to work." The general practitioner who has treated the family for three decades also knows them well. "He has all my medical records although thankfully I don't have to visit him often," said Madam Halimah. She has had good neighbours too over the years, though some have left and others have arrived. "I had a neighbour who was a very good cook and we used to get very nice dishes from her but she has since moved away. She is like a part of our family and I still make an effort to visit her once a year during the Hari Raya Puasa period." The veteran unionist, who spent 33 years at the National Trades Union Congress, holds a master's degree in law from the National University of Singapore. She became a People's Action Party MP in 2001 and a Minister of State in 2011. Her nomination to be Speaker followed the resignation of Mr Michael Palmer in the wake of an extramarital affair last month. Madam Halimah said that living in public housing has given her a keen sense of what bothers people and the daily frustrations they face if their estate is not well taken care of. "I know what they are talking about because there are times when I experience some of these frustrations too, such as when the lift breaks down frequently or the place is dirty." But overall, her experience of living in public housing has been a positive one. "It is convenient, safe and generally well maintained." Those who know Madam Halimah well, like Ms Molly Too, 56, are not at all surprised that she has no plans to leave her home now that she is being elevated to Speaker. The chairman of the PAP women's wing at Bukit Batok East constituency first met Madam Halimah more than two decades ago. "In our society, there is always a pressure to upgrade your flat to show off your station in life. But Halimah has always been her own person," she said. Mr G. Muthukumar, 62, a union associate who has known Madam Halimah for three decades, says living in public housing has kept her "close to the ground". "Her constituents, her neighbours, her community are all like her children. She cannot move away," he said. Meanwhile, as Madam Halimah begins a new chapter in public life, she holds out new hopes on the home front too. She is looking forward to a daughter's wedding next year, and to new additions to the family. She once carried her children in their Yishun home when they were babies. "I hope that I will be able to carry my grandchildren there too," she said. [email protected]
