https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2syDDenK6g A female body was believed to have been found by the side of a pool in a bungalow just off Coronation Road on Wednesday. Several police officers, including crime scene investigators, were seen canvassing the neighbourhood and collecting evidence at the house located along Victoria Park Road when The Straits Times arrived at the scene earlier. A large blue police tent had been used to cover the woman's body, which was lying on the wooden deck by the side of the swimming pool in the upscale bungalow. No details were available as to what caused the death of the woman, but The Straits Times understands that the case has been classified as an "unnatural death" and investigations are still ongoing.

TOKYO - TOYOTA Motor Corp unveiled Tuesday a new hybrid luxury sedan, the 'Sai', aiming to keep its pole position in environmentally friendly vehicles. The new vehicle, which will go on sale only in Japan from December 7, is a compact sedan with a 2.4-litre engine and fuel economy of 23 kilometres per litre, against 38 kpl for the third-generation Prius. It is the second Toyota-brand vehicle that is available only as a hybrid, after the Prius. 'If it does not carry a hybrid engine, a sedan of this size would require twice as much fuel,' said Shigeru Nakagawa, Toyota's project manager, adding that: 'When people driving a luxury car want to be more environmentally friendly, they may want a slightly more upscale vehicle than the Prius.' The Sai will have a price tag starting from 3.38 million yen (S$52,000), against 2.05 million yen for the Prius, the company said as it aims to sell some 3,000 Sai vehicles a month. The world's largest automaker is a pioneer in hybrids, which run on a combination of petrol and electricity and are in strong demand because of worries about global warming. -- AFP ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hmmm, looks like Toyota did not do any market research in Singapore for their new hybrid before naming the car. Don't think local Chinese will associate a Sai car with luxury.....
