Amy Khor shared in Parliament on Tuesday that the junction where the crash occurred on April 22 was designed in line with international safety standards in mind. PHOTO: Screengrab/YouTube/MCI, The Straits Times The junction of Tampines Ave 1 and Tampines Ave 4 where the six-vehicle crash occurred was designed with international safety standards in mind, said Senior Minister of State for Transport Amy Khor in Parliament on Tuesday (May 7). Khor was addressing a Parliamentary question from Sembawang MP Poh Li San about how the Land Transport Authority (LTA) will improve the traffic safety provisions at this junction where the accident occurred on April 22. The crash took the lives of a 17-year-old student, who was a passenger in one of the cars, and a 57-year-old woman, who was in the van. The driver has since been charged and is out on $30k bail and electronically tagged. In Parliament, Khor explained there is sufficient line of sight for road users to see each other clearly at that Tampines junction, and there are appropriate road kerbs, lane and arrow markings installed conspicuously. The LTA also continually reviews and develops programmes to enhance road safety, she said. For example, the transport authority has progressively implemented Red-Amber-Green (RAG) arrows to replace discretionary right turns at over 1,200 traffic junctions since 2018. "Junctions with RAG arrows have shown a 40 per cent reduction in traffic accidents. The work is on-going, and will extend to more traffic junctions," she said. In addition, LTA has also implemented 371 School Zones and 40 Silver Zones as of 2023, in areas near schools and where there are higher proportions of senior residents, said Khor. School Zones have designated crossing facilities, coloured pavements as well as traffic signs and markings, while Silver Zones come with reduced speed limits, additional crossings and speed jumps. The latter has helped to reduce the accident rate among senior pedestrians by 80 per cent, said Khor. Number of accidents fallen in last 5 years: Faishal Similarly in response to other parliamentary questions about road safety, Minister of State for Home Affairs and National Development Faishal Ibrahim said that Singapore's roads have become safer in the last five years. He shared with the House that the number of accidents resulting in injuries or fatalities has fallen by about 10 per cent, from 7,822 in 2019 to 7,025 in 2023. However, the number of accidents leading to fatalities has increased by about 12 per cent in the last five years. The top causes of fatal accidents between 2019 and 2023 were due to a failure to keep a proper lookout, and the failure to have proper control of one's vehicle, he said. In response to a Parliamentary question from Nee Soon MP Derrick Goh regarding the imposition of stiffer penalties on risky driving conduct, Faishal said that penalties under the Road Traffic Act (RTA) currently are adequate to deter dangerous driving, and will not be increased for now. These penalties were raised "significantly" in 2019, he added. Under the Act, for an offence of dangerous driving causing death, a first-time offender could face imprisonment of two to eight years. A repeat offender will be liable for up to 15 years in prison. In addition, an offender could also face a minimum of 10 years' disqualification from driving - which begins after he or she is released. "What the laws provide today are already quite stiff. We do periodically review different aspects of the framework. In this context, we have been studying the adequacy of composition amounts and the demerit points framework," said Faishal. The 42-year-old driver involved in the Tampines crash, Muhammad Syafie Ismail was charged with four offences on April 25. He faces one count each of dangerous driving causing death, dangerous driving causing hurt, dangerous driving, and failing to stop after an accident. His pre-trial conference has been set for June 7.

Wa if I said this to a girl, I confirm tio labelled as biantai and tio hiam zzzz

guessed correctly. its PHV. anyway that lorry also CB. people walking almost reaching half way point then lorry drove past. should imposed heavier sentence to those who ply the road for business (delivery lorry/van driver, PHV, taxi, constructions trucks)

SINGAPORE – One of the biggest chess tournaments could be heading to Singapore at the end of 2024, as the Singapore Chess Federation (SCF) has expressed an interest to host the World Chess Championship. According to reports, India and Argentina are also keen on staging the International Chess Federation (Fide) marquee event, which will see Indian grandmaster Gukesh Dommaraju challenging China’s reigning champion Ding Liren in a best-of-14 format, likely to be between Nov 20 and Dec 15. SCF chief executive Kevin Goh told The Straits Times on May 6 that the idea of hosting the world championship was seeded in April, when he was watching the Candidates Tournament in Toronto which Gukesh won to earn his right to face Ding, 31. Commenting on the 17-year-old’s victory, Goh said: “It was a remarkable achievement for such a young player, and then we realised that it would actually be India against China, a first in the history of this tournament. “And we also realised that Singapore could be an ideal neutral venue and also (because) we have both cultures deeply rooted in our society.” Singapore has a growing chess scene, boasting four grandmasters and one woman grandmaster. In February, eight-year-old Ashwath Kaushik also made headlines by becoming the youngest to beat a grandmaster in a classical game. Goh, 40, feels that hosting the world championship would “inspire a new generation” of chess players and also grow the number of chess enthusiasts here. He added: “Such a tournament could range from 11 days to 25 days, and the amount of exposure that this event can provide the Singapore community can have a long-lasting impact. The story of Gukesh and Ding Liren can be inspiring to our young talent.” Goh said that the SCF is consulting a few parties, both from the private and government sectors, “to see whether a bid is feasible”. One of the key issues to be resolved will be the US$8.5 million (S$11.47 million) hosting budget, with US$2.5 million going to the players as prize money, US$1.1 million to Fide for licensing fees and the rest for venue and organising costs. Goh believes that it would be challenging to find sponsors but is confident that they would be able to negotiate a deal, based on Singapore’s reputation. He said: “Obviously, US$8.5 million is not a small amount by any means. “But we believe that there could be some room for negotiation because Singapore will post a competitive bid, given our standing in the region. “If we have a good venue and a good sponsor to come in to host the event, that could defray some of the costs and could also be attractive enough to help us in our negotiations with Fide.” He believes that a strong bid will come from India, which hosted the 2013 world championship in Chennai, where Norwegian challenger Magnus Carlsen dethroned home favourite and holder Viswanathan Anand. “Chess is one of the biggest sports in India, maybe the biggest, and there’s a lot of interest in Gukesh to see whether he can be the new star to lead the future of India chess,” said Goh. “Argentina has always wanted to host a world chess championship. However, I think that the location and the time zones will not be favourable for Indian and Chinese supporters. It would be ideal for all parties to hold this tournament in Asia.” India’s chess challenger Gukesh Dommaraju will take on reigning chess champion, China’s Ding Liren. PHOTO: GUKESH.OFFICIAL/INSTAGRAM Two Singapore grandmasters that ST spoke to believe that hosting the world championship would be a catalyst for the game here. Singapore’s youngest grandmaster Tin Jingyao, 23, said: “I think it would be the biggest chess event ever held in Singapore and very cool for the players here including young, up and coming players. “They’ll get to meet chess celebrities and probably participate in some side events as well. It will probably interest many of the younger generation to look into chess as well.” The Republic’s only woman grandmaster Gong Qianyun, 39, said: “I’m sure that this will definitely boost the enthusiasm for chess in Singapore, if we really manage to host the world championship.”

i can imagine. your pet walk walk, saw a wall, urine, or walk halfway the sai just drop on the floor (owner saw it but no one around faster walk away or kick the sai away) or maybe sai drop owner dont know, the ppl step on the land mine land sai and all the floor FULL OF SAI, then the One Holland Village mall like kena sai. if no urine or sai there must be a reason clean '10 times more' often

hmm i wonder if this is caused by PMD again

SINGAPORE: When One Holland Village opened in December, animal lovers in Singapore celebrated being able to bring their pets indoors into eateries and other shops at the mall. In the months since, checks by CNA have uncovered several instances of diners finding pet fur in their food, and concerns over cleanliness. In response, F&B chain Surrey Hills Grocer told CNA that it deep-cleans its One Holland Village space "maybe 10 times more frequently" than the average eatery does. Founder and CEO Pang Gek Teng, a dog owner herself, said Surrey Hills' pet-friendly outlets - it has another in Woodleigh - have several air purifiers and fans installed. The Plain Meredith cafe, meanwhile, has HEPA-grade (high efficiency particulate air) purifiers with pet filters in place. Staff also vacuum up loose fur after each guest leaves, said owner Beh Huat Jin. “On top of that, we’re talking to a vendor or partner to see how we can establish sanitiser or cleaning products for fur kids in Plain Meredith,” he told CNA. Both outlets have not received any direct complaints to do with cleanliness. “We do have customers who do not have dogs and cats as well, that dine within our premises," said Mr Beh. Pet owners CNA spoke to said they empathised with the eateries. “If other dogs shed, my dog also sheds. I think it’s something that you kind of have to accept when you own a dog and you bring your dog to places where dogs are welcome,” said Ms Chen Meihui, who has visited the mall twice with her five-year-old dog Rosie. “I’ve gotten to a point where I don’t even realise that there’s dog hair in my food. Much less white dog hair, which is almost invisible.” People who don’t have pets and are concerned could always visit outlets that don’t allow animals indoors, she added. Dog owner Tan Lijing said she would continue eating even if hair belonging to Chopper, her eight-year-old Pomeranian, found its way into her food. But if the hair belonged to another animal, she admitted she would “feel a bit grossed out”. “But I don’t think I’d ask for a refund from the place because it’s not something they can control,” she added. Even with the mall teeming with pets especially on weekends and weekday evenings, visitors described One Holland Village as overall clean and well-maintained. “I didn’t see any dogs peeing on the floor,” said Ms Tan, pointing to a grass patch on the second floor where pets can relieve themselves. When indoors, she usually puts a diaper on Chopper to avoid accidents. Managing a pet-welcoming retail mall has been a learning journey for its developer Far East Organization, said Ms Deborah Tan, director of its retail business group. Owners are expected to be attentive to their pets’ behaviour and promptly clean up if a mess is created, she added. “In general, we have observed that pet owners at One Holland Village have been responsible in cleaning after their pets.” Pet waste disposal amenities are also placed around the mall. Ms Chen, her husband and their dog Rosie said they are looking forward to their third visit to the mall. “There's also the only Watson’s in the country that allows dogs to go in, so we stuffed Rosie in a bag just to shop around," she said. "That’s very funny. I’d definitely go back for these niche experiences." Source: CNA/hw

What’s wrong with the hawker industry in Singapore today? Before you yip about that $12 plate of nasi padang, consider the facts below. Please stop it. Stop harassing and bullying the hawkers and the organic and popular culture they gave this country will ya? I brought this up about 6 years ago on the greed and incredible business model of so-called Social Enterprise Hawker Centre (SEHC) – from making hawkers pay customers to return trays, high rentals, forced $3 meals for all and sundry, rich and poor alike, and despite using auto-bots for tray returns, they still charge full rates for manual cleaners. Well, it was discussed in parliament and something was done. Nice, and I thought they cared but today, these SEHC are back with a more forceful and creative approach to milking our hawker culture and the hawkers. No one looks after their interest and concerns, for starters. These so called experienced SEHC operators (I really don’t know who or what some of them are) were brought in to help them. But it seems they are helping themselves on them. They even want to advise on menu planning, gosh! Like they are the arbiters of our hawker food culture and even dictate how many calories each dish must be. Leave people to decide if they wanna eat healthy or sinfully please. It’s culinary freedom. Their 30 plus pages of no-choice-take-it-or-leave-it contracts are very heavy handed and draconian. It looks like a contract drawn up for our Singapore hawkers in Urban Hawker, New York (at least they can negotiate that one). You need a lawyer to interpret the reality of signing it. To begin with, why do you need to milk so much from public-monies built hawker centres (meant to provide reasonable meals for the masses) and do so little for them. You act like a foreman supervisor, charge and do whatever that not many know about, and can fault you for. Let me count your ways. 1. Hawkers have to bid for their stalls under NEA rules, they are not subsidized. You “dapat” (lucky gift) if you get a $50 per month stall in some obscure corner of a forgotten hawker centre. Bids have gone up to $10,000 a month in the past. Rare, they say, but there’s no rule in place to prevent another ridiculous and desperately high bid. A kopi stall in Beach Road hawker centre was awarded to a $6,000 bid and another in Marine Parade for $6,800 recently. SEHC makes you pay whatever rents and operation they feel fit, without the hawkers and public input. 2. Their rentals at SEHCs, average $2,000.00 (with gst, they are not exempt), monthly and there is no rent distinction for whether you sell a low-cost snack that is popularly but not commonly eaten (like muah chee, ting ting tang, peanut crumble popiah, or trishaw noodles) but proud members of our culinary culture. This systematically dulls the great Singapore hawker menu as it forces them to just sell what is popular and money churners. You should differentiate rentals for stall offering vanishing or fading items. Don’t we have enough bak chor mee, fishball noodle, wanton mee, porridge, chicken rice and nasi lemak stalls already? 3. Hawkers at a SEHC pay full rates for cleaning and washing of utensils and crockery, BUT this operator has the gall to charge for the return of each plate back to the stall from the stewarding room. At $6 a rack of about 30 plates and bowls each, it can come up to $1000.00 per month, that is over and above the average $650.00 cleaning and washing fee, plus Service and Conservancy Charges of $380.00. Creative, no. Daylight robbery, yes. (S$6.00 for each bucket returned to hawker) (S$6.00 to carry that from washing centre to hawker stall) (initial bill for box of crockeries returned to hawker) 4. There is a clause, that demands hawker charge a full meal (not some side dish) at $3 or under, obviously to cater to the low wage or jobless retirees (despite these inflationary times). I am sure the hawker will gladly offer them, sometimes even for free. But reality is, the well-heeled swoop in for these cheap meals, asking for more chilli, sauce, soups and extra plates and utensils. There’s even a forced clause to demand hawkers offer 30 “pay it forward meals” every month. Charity should come from the heart, not a contract. (Forced acts of pay-it-forward charity) (Late payment fees and forced low price sale) (Menu and calorie control) 5. Hawkers cannot use their own plates or bowls, they have to buy it from the SEHC “approved” supplier with the SEHC company logo (paid by hawker) stamped on it. It really limits the creative presentation by hawkers. And it’s not of much use should the hawker move to another hawker centre. (Only purchase from approved suppliers and with SEHC logo) 6. Some hawkers sourced for and suggested a cheaper and equally reputable central gas supplier to the SEHC (up to 30% cheaper). It can amount to substantial savings over the long term, but it was shot down with a take it or leave it kind of response. (30% more for gas supplier) (Only appointed gas supplier) 7. And as NTUC systematically takes over management of more hawker centres, there’s no justification of why and there’s not even a finger lifted by NTUC to help hawkers obtain cheaper daily needs like salt, rice, sugar and noodles or soy sauce etc. At about $2000.00 a stall at Old Airport Road Hawker Centre, multiplied over 180 stalls plus and average $500 for cleaning and collection (no washing) it comes up to a healthy $5.4 million a year. Question is, just how much NEA is collecting from NTUC to take this responsibility off them, and that’s just one hawker centre. 8. Hawker culture is no longer just about the environment anymore (clogged drains, dirty water, bad ventilation etc), the standard has been set and appreciated. Today it is about promoting and preserving the culture, tourism, entrepreneurism, culture and community, and skills education. Seriously, it’s not up the alley nor is the gambit of NEA (National Environment Agency). They should consider backing off or relinquishing their role and responsibility of Hawker Centres and work with the tourism, trade and industry, culture and community, and skills education departments. Just regulate and help keep the place clean, as you already are do. 9. Hawkers at some of these SEHC, cannot take leave of absence– whether annual leave, emergency or health reasons. It has to be approved ahead by the SEHC operators or a fine will be imposed. You have to let them know you’re gonna fall sick ahead to time. A fine of $100 a day is charged for each day not approved by the SEHC. (Absentee fines) 10. And, god forbid, they charge a profit percentage or what industry calls a Gross Turnover (GTO) if the hawkers hit a certain sales target or mark of up to 15%. Ridiculous! (A 15% GTO for hawkers) 11. Last but not least, a SEHC charge a monthly fee for that little space outside of the stall where suppliers come early and leave the goods at. That’s incredible, how do you justify this public built space. I ask, where do all these profits go to? Does it benefit the hawkers and the public at large? Remember what the role of a hawker centre is, from the get go. (Supplier space rental each month) In short, hawkers don’t just pay rent and cleaning fees. The rents, S&CC fees, table cleaning fees, dishwashing, plates returned to hawker cost, and the breathless laundry list of fines, can come up to over $4,000 a month. In 2020, Singapore obtained a Unesco nod and recognition for her unique hawker food culture. They renew this award every 6 years if effort is made to preserve, sustain and promote it. I don’t think it checks out as it were. I really believe the hawkers should form some kind of an independent Hawkers Association or entity, to protect their own viability and livelihood, with legal, finance, industry experts and communication professionals on board as advisors. The hawkers, across all platform, need a voice. You are putting so much effort for the wrong outcome and reason. And don’t get me started on the environmental issues, like single use utensils, styrofoam and plastics, and of course manpower for them. A new generation of leadership is afoot, please have a big rethink on this, I urge you.

Who and why

What the fuck

Probably

This fucking crazy specky is not worth talking to. Hope her business close
