  2. Hmm.... I am trying to understand why the victim was not sent to the hospital in Sengkang which is only minutes away. E-scooter woman rider taken to hospital after being hit by a lorry in Sengkang SINGAPORE - A 34-year-old e-scooter rider was taken to hospital after she was hit by a lorry in Sengkang on Monday (Aug 27). Police said they were alerted to an accident involving a lorry and an e-scooter at 9.47am at the junction of Sengkang East Road and Sengkang Square. According to Chinese daily Lianhe Wanbao, the woman was on her way back from buying groceries at the market. She had stopped her e-scooter at a traffic junction and was waiting to cross the road when she was hit by the lorry. An eyewitness told Wanbao that the woman's arms and legs were bleeding and she was unable to move. He added that the driver of the lorry got out of his vehicle immediately after the accident and tended to the woman. The driver appeared unharmed. The woman was conscious when she was taken to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital. The Straits Times understands that her injuries were not severe. Police investigations are ongoing.

  3. Mail sent to Pulau Ubin by drone in world-first SingPost trial The 2-kilometer test flight from Lorong Halus to the island off Singapore's north-eastern coast took 5 minutes, and carried a payload of a letter as well as T-shirt in a packet, SingPost said. POSTED: 08 Oct 2015 08:49 PHOTOS A SingPost drone successfully makes a 2km mail run from the mainland to Pulau Ubin. (Photo: SingPost) Enlarge Caption 50 4 14 Email More A A SINGAPORE: Mail delivered in flight, with not a postman in sight? The first step toward making this a daily reality was taken after Singapore Post successfully trialled a mail run from mainland Singapore to Pulau Ubin - the first time in the world a postal service has successfully used an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for point-to-point recipient-authenticated mail delivery. The last-mile mail and packet drone delivery from Lorong Halus to Pulau Ubin trial was successfully completed as part of a joint development between SingPost and the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA), the postal service provider announced on Oct 8 (Thursday). The 2-kilometer test flight took 5 minutes, and carried a payload of a letter as well as T-shirt in a packet, SingPost said. The drone was built upon the Pixhawk Steadidrone platform by IDA Labs, and is tailored for use in a challenging environment like Singapore, SingPost said in a press release. The drone is equipped with enhanced safety features, and comes with a prototype app designed with security and verification features to ensure mail reaches its intended recipient. It has the capacity to carry a payload of up to half a kilogramme, fly at a height of up to 45 metres and travel for 2.3km. The focus of the flight was to test the drone technology and safety boundaries. "SingPost’s exploration of the drone technology is a move to provide enhanced end-to-end solutions to facilitate urban logistics as well as tap on the burgeoning eCommerce growth in Asia Pacific," the postal operator added. "LITERALLY AIMING FOR THE SKY" Added IDA Managing Director Jacqueline Poh: “The successful conclusion of this trial shows how SingPost is thinking out of the box and its willingness to expand its traditional mail delivery model in innovative ways. "Although it will be a while before it is viable for drone mail delivery to take off in Singapore, taking into consideration commercial and safety factors; this first step by SingPost and IDA demonstrates what Singapore is trying out with our Smart Nation vision – to have the various parts of our ecosystem collaborate, experiment with new ways of doing things, and in the process, literally aim for the sky with new technology." Said Dr Bernard Leong, Head of Digital Services at SingPost: “There is immense potential in UAV technology for last-mile mail and ecommerce delivery. As SingPost transforms into an eCommerce logistics enabler, we will continue to collaborate with industry leaders and chart new frontiers. "Not only do we want to enable or accelerate eCommerce, we hope to contribute towards building Singapore into a Smart Nation, where technology improves the quality of lives. We seek continuous exploration to break new ground, innovate and harness technology to bring end-to-end solutions that matter to our customers.” The multi-agency Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Committee facilitated this trial. Said its Chairman, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Transport Pang Kin Keong: “The UAS Committee has been encouraging and discussing with public and private sector organisations on innovative uses of UAS, and facilitating such trials. The technology opens up numerous exciting possibilities which could help us enhance operational productivity, efficiency and effectiveness.” SingPost said the trial drone flight was conducted with permissions and cooperation from IDA, the Ministry of Transport, Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore, Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore, Republic of Singapore Air Force as well as the Singapore Police Force. - CNA/es http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/business/mail-sent-to-pulau-ubin/2177406.html

  11. ST Forum Jun 9, 2011 Sent on a wild goose chase for iPad ON MONDAY morning, I spent a great deal of time searching for a store selling the new iPad 2 and after being told that it was sold out at all the Apple stores, I surfed the Internet to find a promotional deal with SingTel and called to make inquiries. A customer service officer told me it was available on a limited basis at some stores on a walk-in, first come, first served basis. He said I would have the greatest chance at the ComCentre outlet near Killiney Road as this was the headquarters. It was important to me as I wanted to present this to my daughter for her birthday yesterday and as a graduation gift. So I cancelled an important appointment and got to ComCentre around noon on Monday only to learn that the iPad 2 was completely sold out and was not even available when they opened that day. I called SingTel's customer service again and made the same inquiry only to be told the same thing by the second customer service officer - that if I went down to ComCentre, the device would be available for walk-in customers on a first come, first served basis. I was very unhappy and disappointed with this wrong information and for being misled into believing that there would be a chance to purchase the item. In actual fact, the iPad 2 was not available for any walk-in customer and I was sent on a wild goose chase. I spoke with the customer service manager, who apologised and offered to compensate me by waiving my mobile phone charges for two months. It is completely inexcusable for a company like SingTel to provide incorrect information that resulted in loss of my time and expense and caused me great inconvenience. This "miscommunication" between the outlets and the customer service hotline is totally unacceptable. Susan Yeo (Mrs)
  12. The ruling party doesn't seem to have learnt from the likes of Teo Ser Luck and continue to send a lone boy scout. Desmond Choo to Hougang to fight the WP despite the fact that LTK had gone over to Aljunied to contest. So it was of NO SURPRISE, that the PAP not only lost but lost with a larger margin than in 2006 to the WP. Eithier the PAP, with their entrenched style of doing things have scared away good candidates, who went over to the opposition parties or the Leaders think they are still young at heart and love guys with the BOY and GIRL SCOUT looks! When the lone boyscout went to the rostrum to 'thank his voters' for his loss...he was almost breaking out into a state, liken to a child breaking out into tears to his papa and mama, just becos they would not buy him that LOLLIPOP! Saya alot about the ruling party ability to assess the suitability of new candidates to be fielded for the election! Not to mention that this year, one new candidate got COLD FEET at the 11th hour and threw in his towel just before Nomination! More jokers to see in the years to come!
  13. SINGAPORE: The Workers' Party (WP) is crying foul over a leaflet sent by the People's Action Party's (PAP) Nee Soon Group Representation Constituency (GRC) team to the residents on Thursday. With minutes to go before midnight - just in time before Cooling Off Day kicked in - the WP posted a statement to rebut the allegations in the leaflet that the party was against home upgrading. The WP statement added: "This is misleading and mischievous. It was distributed just before the close of the campaign period, leaving little time for WP to respond and set the record straight." The newsletter, which was seen by Today, cited a blog post - dated Oct 20, 2009 - by WP East Coast GRC candidate Gerald Giam under a headline "WP's Housing Policy - it will reduce the value of your homes!" Mr Giam had said in his post: "HDB flats should remain no-frills public housing. There is no need to provide posh condo look-alikes." The leaflet also cited a media report last month, which quoted Mr Giam saying that the high prices of Housing and Development Board (HDB) flats were due to the past PAP's assets enhancement policy in the past 20 years. It said: "Their solution will crash housing prices - it will reduce the prices of your flats." It also described the WP's position as "simple". "It has a negative policy: Throw criticisms but it has no solutions!" The leaflet was signed off by PAP Nee Soon GRC candidates K Shanmugam, Lee Bee Wah, Lim Wee Kiak, Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim and Patrick Tay. When contacted late Thursday night, Dr Lim said the leaflet was only printed on Wednesday, after hearing the Opposition's take on issues. Hence, copies of it were distributed on Thursday, he added. He said that the team had planned to send out materials consistently over the nine-day campaigning period. When asked if it was a deliberate attempt to leave little time for WP to respond, Dr Lim said no. He added that his team had to "wait for the other party to rebut" what the PAP had raised earlier against its housing policies. In its statement, the WP provided a point-by-point rebuttal. Citing the example of upgrading in Hougang, the WP also explained that it was never against upgrading plans. Urging voters to read its manifesto, the WP explained that its stand was that public housing cannot be expected to have condo-like facilities or it will make home prices unaffordable. - TODAY --- http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin...1127104/1/.html
  14. If you still remember Catherine Lim...... Subject: Report 'Malay integration: MM stands corrected'--Dr C Lim's views Remember MM's famous " I stand corrected " comment in the ST some time ago..? Below is the recent letter by Dr Catherine Lim to the ST forum on her reflection on this matter..But as usual it never saw the light of day..! Anyway the letter as below for you to enjoy..! To: stforum <[email protected]> To the Forum Editor I refer to the report 'Malay integration: MM stands corrected,' ( The Straits Times, Tuesday March 8, 2011) As a long-time observer of the extraordinary impact that MM has on the Singapore political scene, I would like to comment on his change of position with regard to the failure of the Malay community to integrate with the rest of the society. The shift bears all the marks of a constrained rather than a spontaneous change of mind and heart. Firstly, the terse statement 'I stand corrected' is far short of a genui ne apology and may even exacerbate rather than assuage hurt feelings. Secondly, the explanation of an oversight of the community's successful efforts at integration in the last 2 years, is unconvincing, given MM's sharp, meticulous thinking and observation. Thirdly, the statement, coming so long after the comments (first reported in the Straits Times on 3 January, 2011) and presumably very soon before the coming general elections, smacks of an opportunistic move. It is tempting to conclude that this reversal of position is a consensus decision of the PAP government, rather than a conviction decision by MM himself. Singaporeans like myself, who admire MM for the boldness of his convictions even if we disagree with them, would have preferred to see him maintain his unique role of telling hard truths and taking responsibility for them, rather than give the impression of taking a position so at odds with his strong perso nality and forthright style. That way, we are not confused by the sending out of mixed signals. Dr Catherine Lim

  17. BANGKOK, April 26, 2010 (AFP) - Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva's ruling party moved closer to possible dissolution Monday as an election body submitted a case against it to court. The case, which centres on allegations of misuse of a grant from the Election Commission, comes amid a tense standoff between the government and 'Red Shirt' protesters that has left 26 people dead and almost 1,000 injured. The Election Commission earlier this month called for Abhisit's Democrat Party - the oldest in the country - to be abolished over two allegations of an illegal political donation in 2005 and misuse of a commission grant. Fifty boxes of documents relating to the second count were sent to the Constitutional Court on Monday afternoon. "The court will consider whether and when the hearing should start," said Thanis Sriprathet, the commission's deputy secretary general, adding that there was no time frame for a decision. The other case, which involves allegations of an illegal multi-million-dollar donation to the Democrat Party during 2005 elections, will be forwarded to the Attorney General, who has 30 days to consider it. Thanis said the body was preparing the documents related to that case and expected to send them to the office of the Attorney General by early May. The party has said it will challenge the commission's recommendation, which refers to a donation made when Abhisit was its deputy leader. The Red Shirts, who have been holding mass rallies in Bangkok for weeks, accuse the government of being undemocratic because it came to power in 2008 after the Constitutional Court ousted allies of ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra.

  19. In Singapore, during bad times, garmen will tell the people to upgrade their skill, but in the car industry, may be car thieves have skills upgrade for better career prospect too ??? ------------- IT SEEMS that even crime bosses understand the importance of skills upgrading. 17 March 2009 http://newpaper.asia1.com.sg/news/story/0,...,195974,00.html? IT SEEMS that even crime bosses understand the importance of skills upgrading. The New Sunday Times reported that car theft syndicates in Malaysia have been sending their members to Japan so that they can learn how to better disable car alarm systems. An police source told the paper: 'Japan is the country of choice because it is the home to some of the biggest car makers such as Toyota and Honda.' During the course, which usually lasts for about three months, the thieves can even specialise in specific skills. For example, one syndicate member may get in-depth lessons on disabling car alarms while another studies how to make duplicate keys or how to open steering locks. There are even those who specialise in breaking into a particular make of car. 'For example, one will be an expert on Toyota models while another focuses on Honda,' the source said. The syndicates reportedly send their members for these courses each time a new Japanese car is introduced into the market so that they can learn everything about the model. 'This is because orders from foreign buyers will come in for the new model and the syndicate wants to be prepared to meet the demand,' the source explained. These upgrading courses are just one of the ways car theft syndicates are evolving with the times, turning from small-time operators into sophisticated outfits with a global market. While the Malaysian syndicates previously sold stolen vehicles only to local workshops and criminals, they now have customers in countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Afghanistan, China, and even as far as South Africa. Apart from those who steal the cars, the racket now also involves brokers who match the syndicates with potential buyers overseas. Buyers would contact brokers in their country to put an 'order' for a specific make and model. These brokers will then contact their counterparts in Malaysia, who in turn will get the syndicates to steal the vehicle. Operate in pairs The police source said thieves often operate in pairs, scouting areas such as carparks and quiet roads. Once a car is found, one syndicate member will disable the alarm system while his partner breaks into the vehicle. They then take the car to have its registration plate changed and keys duplicated before dropping it off at a pre-arranged location, usually in a carpark of a condominium. The key is left on top of the car tyre or inside the glove compartment, and the broker is informed. In the next step, the broker pays a runner between RM500 ($224) and RM1,000 to drive the car to one of Malaysia's many ports. where it is put inside a shipping container, and sent to the client. Foreign buyers normally pay between US$2,700 ($4,000) and US$60,000 for a stolen vehicle. For example, a stolen Mercedes-Benz S350L, which costs nearly RM1 million ($450,000) in Malaysia, can be had for just RM217,000. The syndicate usually gets between RM2,000 and RM3,000 for each vehicle they steal. Apart from stealing cars, the syndicates now also provide value-added services such as altering the chassis number, duplicating car keys, and forging road tax discs and registration plates. Packages cost between RM2,000 and RM50,000, depending on the vehicle. To curb the rising incidence of such car thefts, Malaysia's National Vehicle Theft Reduction Council has been working on several initiatives. Deputy Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar, who heads the council, said: 'Currently, discussions are being held with various parties to examine the feasibility of offering discounts on insurance premiums to car owners if they install additional alarm systems. 'Several workshops are also being organised with representatives from state police contingents as part of the plan to crack down on car theft syndicates.'

  23. http://www.straitstimes.com/Latest%2BNews/...ory_246672.html A WOMAN was spared from going to jail for running a brothel and for corruption - thanks to her nine-month old baby girl. Li Chunmei, 40, a Chinese national, was instead fined a total of $15,000 on four charges. . . The court heard that when police raided Mei Yuen on Dec 28, 2006, three women who had provided sexual services were arrested. The business also did not have a valid licence for a massage parlour. Li, who had registered the business under Low's name, collected $100 a day form each of the three women. - - - Anyone knows if foreigners who are convicted of crimes here get sent back home? $15K is nothing to this FT considering that her 'income' alone was a least $9K a month (3 chickens x 30 days x $100 a day).
  24. A BRITON who has lived here for 11 years got a rude shock when he turned on his Hewlett-Packard (HP) laptop, only to be flashed a message saying that its copy of Windows XP was a bootleg one. Mr Anthony Jeff, 56, had just picked up the machine from an HP-authorised service centre in Guangzhou, China, where he was on a business trip. His bought-in-Singapore laptop kept crashing during the trip, so the globe-trotting businessman sent it to an HP-authorised service centre there, since the machine had a limited international warranty. The service centre told him that it did not have any more stock of the English version of Windows XP software, and that the default version used in China was the one in Chinese, but Mr Jeff insisted on having an English version installed. An HP spokesman said: 'The engineer was under pressure and downloaded an English version from the Web without obtaining a licence from Microsoft.' Mr Jeff, who was not told this, discovered it only when he turned on the machine. 'Fortunately for me, I did not turn on the laptop in front of my clients that day. It would have been utterly embarrassing for me,' he said. He runs day2daytrading, a maker of decorative furniture and licensed toys like Buck Rogers, and is married to a Singaporean. Mr Jeff returned to confront the service centre staff the next day, only to be taken aback by their nonchalance. He was told it was 'normal' in China because 'everyone uses copies'. HP has since clarified that it gives strict guidelines to its authorised service centres against installing illegal copies of operating systems. Its spokesman added that the company took the matter seriously, and that it would discipline the engineer and 'reiterate the importance of our service policy to all our partners'. China has been in the spotlight for its rampant software piracy over the years, but industry observers say the incident was not about piracy but a failure in HP's support service. Mr Tarun Sawney, anti-piracy director for the software piracy watchdog Business Software Alliance Asia, said: 'Using an unlicensed product key to download software is definitely illegal, but this is the first time I've heard of a service centre doing something like this.' Technology lawyer Bryan Tan said: 'The attitude of the service centre reflects the general lackadaisical attitude in China towards using genuine software.' Meanwhile, HP Singapore has settled the matter with Mr Jeff: It has paid for his return air ticket to China on business class, repaired his old laptop, given him a new one and also an HP iPaq smartphone. Mr Jeff is happy with the way the company has resolved his problem. He remains an HP fan - and not because of its compensatory moves. When he had to buy a new laptop in China after the one with the illegal Windows XP could not work, he chose an HP.
