I was involved in a traffic accident today at about 8.25am along Pasir Ris Central. My car was stationary behind a white volkswagen scirocco, SJZ 6094J, while waiting to make a U turn to Pasir Ris Sports Complex. A sliver Toyota Wish, from the opposite direction, mounted the center divider, knocked down the U turn sign and hit my rear right door. I need the driver of the white scirocco to be my witness. I appeal to the scirocco driver or anyone who knows the scirocco driver to pm me if u see this post. Would greatly appreciate if members of volkswagen or scirocco club can help to repost this appeal at the respective forums. Thanks and have a happy long wkend.

Just helped my friend just took over a <1yr old used Savvy AMT OPC and would like to check on the following items.. 1) The previous owner only went for 1k servicing, so now we planning to bring it in for 2nd servicing. Does Proton provide free 2nd & 3rd servicing? if no, how much it usually cost? they allow to bring own engine oil? 2) Where to buy Savvy spare parts at good price in Singapore? stuff like oil filter and air filter? Any advice will be appreciated..

Hi, my 2007 Mazda 5 when idling e.g stop at traffic light, I can feel the engine vibrate and seems going to stall although it has not happen yet. I am worried it may not be a good sign and possibly of potential problem or the car suddenly stalled. The problem seems only happen when idling...Anyone can advise what could be the cause of it ? Any recommendation for a workshop in the west who is familiar with Mazda cars to solve this problem ? Thanks in advance.

Good morning to all, got involved in this so called carpark rage this morning and would like to seek advice from seniors here. I was looking for a carpark lot near henderson market this morning. As i was moving ahead in the long stretch of open air carpark, i noticed a taxi preparing to move out from one of the lots, however before i approach that "potential lot", a Fiat goods vehicle was stationary( about 4 lots away from the potential lot) along the road without hazard lights on. I decided to overtake the goods vehicle and stop just ahead of that potential lot where the taxi was about to move out, put on hazard lights and engage reverse gear to standby for a reverse parking procedure, as i was just about to reverse in, the goods veheicle sped up, horned me to signal its displeasure. This later brought about a quarrel over the lot between me and the driver. After this incident, i felt that i might have prevented it by just stoping beside the goods vehicle to check its intention before proceeding on as a act of courtesy. however, since he there was no hazards lights on or whatsoever to signal its intention, can i assume i have to right of way to overtake it and park into the lot? Whos is right and who is wrong here? Wish to seek advice from you guys here. Many thanks!

Huat ah ... more draws to come!

There no iCloud for bloody 3GS, that's all I know, yes i'm a tech idiot, iphone idiot too. Is there any way to fully transfer my contacts over?

Seriously never remember parents last time getting so uptight about the PSLE or exams in general. Maybe we were from a kampong and the common response of these mostly uneducated folks including mine towards exams was "buay tak chek to ker cho gang lo" (If one can't pass an exam, the next recourse is to find a job) But now being a parent myself, though not a very rich nor highly educated one, I am fully aware of the high stakes in our kids' education process nowadays because if they fail any national exams, they may be categorised as failures and end up as society discards sadly. Having said that I reluctantly agree with the authorities that the PSLE is necessary to gauge the ability of kids for their stage of the education. Maybe some tweeking will be nice but strictly not radical changes to the system such as what this parent advocated please. On a side note I did not remember having problems mastering my mother tongue those days. This is probably due to us kampong kids being fans of Jing Yong, Gu Long or Liang Yu Sheng last time From ST Forum: http://www.straitstimes.com/premium/forum-...needed-20120928 Radical changes to PSLE needed Published on Sep 28, 2012 I JOIN Dr Joshua Kua in calling on the Education Ministry to roll out concrete action plans to resolve unhealthy stress in schools and for parents to form a group to lobby for education reform ("Resolve unhealthy stress in schools"; Sept 14). The fundamental problem lies with the current "one size fits all" education policy, especially for primary schools. Every pupil takes four subjects: English, mother tongue, mathematics and science. How well the pupils do in the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) is based on the aggregate of all four subjects. The primary objective seems to be to produce top pupils. It does not take into consideration their strengths and weaknesses. If a child is weak in mother tongue but strong in the other three PSLE subjects, he is "penalised" as his aggregate is affected and thus his choice of secondary school. Mother tongue is the biggest cause of stress for pupils and their parents. Many parents believe mother tongue tuition is necessary and even critical to their children's ability to score good grades in the PSLE. Sadly, many pupils spend a disproportionate amount of time on mother tongue and still fare poorly, not because they are not clever but because of the lack of an innate linguistic aptitude. My wife and I have a daughter, 14, and a son, 16. We would have wanted them to learn Chinese and Malay because they are of mixed parentage. We chose Chinese for their PSLE and, fortunately, they performed well. But it was unnecessarily stressful; the time expended could have been better used for quality family moments. The PSLE need not be scrapped to fix the problem. Instead, change the current calculation of the PSLE aggregate from four subjects to the best three subjects. English must be a compulsory subject in the mix, and a pupil must pass mother tongue. In this way, a pupil who is not as innately talented in languages is not penalised as he can focus on his three stronger subjects. But if he is strong in mother tongue but weak in maths or science, he is also not penalised as his aggregate will be based on English, mother tongue and one other subject. In fact, with this change, parents may even be encouraged to have their children take two mother tongue subjects and not be concerned about the grades. Second, review the difficulty in maths. Currently, many children struggle with the very convoluted problem sums, which even many parents find extremely challenging. Education should not be just about the best, it should be more about the rest. Tan Poh Lam

Hi everyone, been contemplating and lookin around for few months about buyin a used car. Comfort and interior is high on my list. Currently driving a 05 altis, so don't tink any other car can be more ahpek than it liao (exterior wise). Of all my buddies' cars, camrys, grand vitara, CRV, golf, i find teana the most comffortable. Any other recommendations? FC dosen't really matter because commuting between workplace , home, childcare center don't really require highway driving so i figured even drive hybrid FC oso high. so please give me recommendations based on Passenger comfort. Thanks! By the way budget not more than 80k.

Briefly, got a friend whose insurance for his car got expired and the insurance company does not want to renew his insurance for his car cos he is prone to accident. No insurance cannot pay road tax and so cannot drive the car. Any MCF brothers have any suggestions to share to get the car insured. Thank you in advance..
