She had only worked at his company for a year, but her boss cared for her, even after her death. Liu Fenni, an employee of U Stars Supermarket, died of cardiac arrest last Monday (Sept 12) at Singapore General Hospital. She was 39. And to thank her for her hard work, her boss contributed $10,000 to her funeral expenses, 8World reported. Liu had ill health in recent years, her mum Cai Meiling said. She suffered a stroke in 2020 and was found to have late-stage kidney failure. Despite being on medication and undergoing dialysis last year, Liu's condition continued to deteriorate. "Before she died, my daughter told me that she might not be able to make it through the night," Cai said. "I comforted her and told her not to think too much. I didn't expect to receive a call from the hospital the following morning saying she had died." Cai, 57, regretted not being there with her daughter when she died. Caring boss Before joining U Stars Supermarket, Liu had worked at another supermarket. While there, her current boss, who was impressed by her work attitude, invited her to work at U Star Supermarket's Choa Chu Kang branch. Worried about Liu's heavy workload there, he later transferred her to the Punggol outlet. He also showed concern for Liu's health during the time she worked at the supermarket, Cai said. When the man offered to foot the $10,000 bill for Liu's funeral, she wanted to turn down the offer. But he told the grieving mum "it was to repay her daughter for her hard work". Cai eventually accepted the kind gesture, saying she was grateful that he recognised her daughter's contributions to the company. Kampung spirit Sheng Siong's management similarly contributed money to funerals, but they extended the help to complete strangers. During the circuit breaker in 2020, the bereaved family's relatives saw one of the staff discreetly slip $200 into the collection box at the wake. When asked, the man confessed that he was instructed by the supermarket's management to walk around the estate and look for wakes to make donations. A Sheng Siong spokesperson told AsiaOne then that it had been a company tradition for over 30 years. "This is Sheng Siong’s way of keeping the 'kampung spirit' alive," he explained.

end of the day, shopee with such high failure delivery rate of 2.5% will not be able to survive de. u imagine these e-platforms charge on average ard 3.5% service charges on each order, so with a failure rate of 2.5% overall, shopee will be bleeding non-stop. assuming there r 100 orders of sgd1 each, so shopee shld be earning ard sgd3.5. after deducting delivery failure rate, shopee is only netting sgd1 b4 costs. with costs, high chances that shopee is actually making a loss of sgd0.20 per 100 orders.

I domt have any issur with Jt express leh The lady who delivered my items is very responsible, she place my parcel safely

SEOUL (Bloomberg): South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol was overheard insulting American lawmakers, after briefly meeting his United States counterpart Joe Biden to discuss issues including US electric-vehicle (EV) subsidies that South Korea wants to change. "What an embarrassment for Biden, if these idiots refuse to grant it in Congress," video broadcast on South Korean television showed Yoon telling Foreign Minister Park Jin in New York. The comments were caught on a microphone as Yoon and Park were leaving after a brief chat with Biden at a Global Fund event. The two leaders had been scheduled to hold formal discussions on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly this week, and instead had a chat at the event for the charity that raises money to fight infectious diseases. A senior official from the South Korean presidential office told reporters in New York that Yoon's comments were unofficial and unverified. The official said it was inappropriate to view such private remarks as a reflection of the administration's diplomatic achievements. The White House said in a statement that Biden and Yoon discussed cooperation on the security threat posed by North Korea as part of a "broad range of priority issues including supply chain resilience, critical technologies, economic and energy security, global health and climate change". Yoon has come under pressure at home to remedy provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act signed last month by Biden, which includes tax credits of as much as US$7,500 for purchases of EVs made in North America. That could disadvantage major South Korean brands such as Hyundai and Kia, which do not yet have operational EV plants in the US. The off-the-cuff comments from Yoon were met with derision from opposition South Korean lawmakers, who said they tarnished the country's image. The President has already faced criticism for shunning an in-person meeting with US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi when she visited South Korea last month, when he was on vacation. The lawmakers said he missed a chance to lobby on his country's behalf over the legislation. https://www.thestar.com.my/aseanplus/aseanplus-news/2022/09/22/s-korea-president-caught-on-hot-mic-insulting-us-congress

He former prosecutor so probably used alot more foul words

I find lazada slow and not flexible. app not user friendly too

yeah, limpeh also find shopee getting more expensive and courier service getting to be below par liao. limpeh calculated that even after shopee coin redemption, lazada only slightly +/- most of the time becos sellers will offer additional vouchers to offset the differences. so rather than have logistic complaints, might as well shop with lazada and pay the extra sgd1 or sgd2 to have peace of mind. shopee coins only useful in paying telephone bills now. wahahahahahahaha

Confirm she try before. Iirc she has a kids with no father too

https://youtu.be/I5MA6KH2NrA SINGAPORE: Fishmonger Mr Lee Yit Huat used to clear his daily fish stock ahead of closing time. But these days, with rising prices putting off some customers, he often still has about 10 per cent of his daily offerings left on the counter at 7pm, when his stall at Tekka Market winds down. Spanish mackerel, known locally as batang, used to cost between S$15 and S$20 per kilogramme at Mr Lee’s stall two months ago. Today, the price of this popular fish commonly used in soup and porridge has risen by S$5 to between S$20 and S$25. As a result, Mr Lee is seeing a 5 per cent to 10 per cent decrease in customer numbers, as well as smaller portions purchased. “No choice, now the economy also not very good. So everyone will buy less, buy a bit, don't buy a lot,” said Mr Lee. “Sometimes I tell them the price, (and they reply) ‘So expensive, I don't eat today,’ or ‘I eat some other small fish, cheaper’,” said Mr Lee. Average prices for fresh fish from Malaysia and Indonesia have risen by about 20 per cent so far this year. Industry players are expecting prices to continue increasing over the next few months, as the monsoon season shrinks supply, and the upcoming holiday period intensifies demand. "Fishermen today tend to get less fish,” said Mr Eric Lee, owner of Lee Chuan Seng Fishery. “There's less fish in the sea nowadays; (it's) getting less and less, you can see it's quite obvious.” A dwindling catch from commercial fishing has made the situation worse, with fisheries citing climate change as a contributor to the unpredictable supply. “Nowadays it’s difficult to predict the harvest. Maybe due to global warming. It used to be certain month you get certain fish, but nowadays we can’t predict,” said Mr Daniel Pe, chairman of the Punggol Fish Merchants Association. Costs were made even higher for Indonesian fishermen this month when fuel prices, already soaring since the Ukraine war, were hiked by about 30 per cent as the government reined in energy subsidies. “If the monsoon is too strong, (the fishermen) don’t go out so they don’t waste the diesel. When the monsoon comes, we cannot get fish,” said Mr Lee, who added that this contributes to rising expenses as merchants still have to cover utilities and manpower costs, but have lesser fish to sell. Some consumers have turned to cheaper options, such as frozen or farmed fish. Inflation is more obvious in more expensive fish as the price difference seems substantial, said Alfred Goh, owner of Guang's Fresh Mart. “Over a long period of time you realise there's been a significant increase in prices. This is probably worse off for hot ticket items like snapper, mackerel, cod and salmon. Those have seen much greater, more significant increase in prices as compared to cheaper fishes like kembong, kuning, and seabass,” said Mr Goh. At Mr Goh’s shop, salmon now sells for between S$30 and S$40 per kilogramme, about S$10 more expensive than before, while cod costs almost S$50 per kilogramme, compared to close to S$40 in the past. “So you do see consumers shifting towards cheaper varieties of fish. Because I think during these days where it's global inflation, everyone's feeling the pinch,” said Mr Goh. FISHMONGERS, TOO, FEEL THE PINCH Fishmongers at Geylang Serai Market told CNA that they have been placing fewer orders for more expensive varieties such as red snapper, which can cost around S$12 per kilogramme. Instead, they have been placing more orders for cheaper options like the Indian mackerel, which costs around S$7 per kilogramme. “Fish supply has been really unstable as of late, prices fluctuate from day to day,” said Mr Goh. “For items that are more expensive, everyone just orders less of it. If you go around the markets, all the fishmongers are ordering in larger quantities cheaper items.” Mr Goh said that some businesses absorb rising costs in the initial stages, but transfer the costs to consumers once it is no longer sustainable. “We've been absorbing the increasing costs in terms of delivery, right along the supply chain, and to a point where it’s no longer affordable. And then we have to revise our prices up to take into account all of these rising (expenses),” said Mr Goh. With some suppliers asking merchants for a 15 per cent to 20 per cent rise in prices to even out fuel costs, some in the industry are adapting by diversifying their sources for fish and looking to suppliers from other countries such as Thailand, India, and Myanmar, said Mr Pe. PRICES ON UPTREND UNTIL CHINESE NEW YEAR As the monsoon season approaches, fish prices are expected to climb even higher, up to after the holiday period in late January, industry players said. “If the rainy season persists, and I mean, you know we're experiencing global warming, weather's really unstable. So if it does persist, then we do expect prices to go up, I think potentially by another 10 to 15 per cent probably over the next two months,” said Mr Goh. The price of white snapper is forecast to increase about 10 per cent over the monsoon period, with mackerel likely to see a higher jump of about 30 per cent, said Mr Lee. “Once the monsoon season is over, it’s the holiday season. So since demand during the year-end is likely to be better, prices probably won't go down,” said Mr Goh. “Once the New Year is over, I think maybe once Chinese New Year is over in late January, then you generally start to see prices dipping.”

Continued the walk back Bought 2 slices of pizzas here New York "street art"?

Since woke up late went out to buy dinner. Here're scenes of me walking from 26th to 35th Bought burger from here - Mooyah The chef Very nice burger

So I finally arrived Newark Airport yesterday (Wednesday) at 5.30am Immigration was a breeze took us less than 5min from queueing to exiting to get our luggage. Luggage trolley is rather expensive at US$6 and then it was the taxi to take us to the hotel and it costs $95 arriving in the hotel just before 7am. Check-in time was 4pm so we went for a walk around the hotel area had breakfast at McDonalds Went to the hotel at 9.30am to hang around. The night before the hotel was fully booked so we have to wait for check-outs and cleaning. I asked the hotel manager about car rental he told be there's one just next street at 25th Street a mere 5mins walk. Was delighted to sort out my car rental on the spot. First is checking my driving license (Singapore and Thai) the staff told me its good both licenses could be use. Staff also told me car is good to drive into Canada and back just need to show the rental agreement. Also insurance is good for both US and Canada so no need anything extra. Total cost of the 10 days rental (including top insurance) was only US$1100, shockingly cheap. So I am basically all set for the trip. Will start driving on Saturday. Very lucky also at 10.20am staff gave us the room key cards as a room was ready. Didn't go out as we slept in the hotel room till 8pm.

but the ugly truth is.............

(Photo courtesy of Columbia Pictures Aquaverse) KOYA JIBIKI, KOSUKE INOUE and KEIICHI FURUKAWA, Nikkei staff writersSeptember 21, 2022 03:43 JST JAKARTA/BANGKOK/TOKYO -- Sony Pictures Entertainment will open a water park in Thailand next month while Paramount Pictures plans to build one of Southeast Asia's largest theme parks in the Indonesian island resort of Bali, as the companies seek to tap the region's growing middle-class demand. The Columbia Pictures Aquaverse is set to debut Oct. 12 near the popular Thai resort city of Pattaya, parent Sony Pictures announced last Thursday. The theme and water park, spanning 56,000 square meters, had been scheduled to open in October last year, but the pandemic and other factors pushed back the date. The Aquaverse will be managed by Thai developer Amazon Falls, with the multiple water attractions themed after hit titles such as "Hotel Transylvania" and "Ghostbusters." The attraction is due expand to 160,000 sq. meters within a few years and there are plans to add indoor attractions harnessing virtual reality and metaverse technology. Sony Pictures Chairman and CEO Anthony Vinciquerra said at an investor meeting in May that the so-called location business is largely experimental, and the company does not intend to recreate another Disneyworld or Universal Studios. Unlike Walt Disney Co., it has no plans at this time to directly manage theme parks. Sony Pictures' aim is to license its library of content, which is a high-margin undertaking in itself, Vinciquerra added. Japanese parent Sony Group has issued a long-term goal of directly connecting with "1 billion people interested in entertainment." With Asia as a particularly promising market due to its population growth, the group will monitor the Aquaverse's progress and determine the feasibility of building similar attractions globally. In August, Paramount announced it is partnering with Indonesian resort developer Kios Ria Kreasi to build a theme park in Bali. Measuring 570,000 sq. meters, the site would be among the largest theme parks in Southeast Asia. Bali hosted a groundbreaking ceremony on Sept. 10 for a new highway that will connect the western and central parts of the country, with Paramount executives in attendance. Paramount plans to open a portion of the site to visitors in 2025. "We believe that the beauty of Bali, combined with integrated resort hotels and a Paramount theme park, will create a magnificent entertainment project that all of Indonesia can be proud of," said Ty Granaroli, Paramount Global's executive vice president of themed entertainment and experiences. The group's portfolio of content includes global successes such as the "Top Gun" and "Mission Impossible" franchises, as well as kids' favorites like "Spongebob Squarepants." Indonesia's past record with entertainment attractions has been mostly defined by small sites run by local operators, with few projects launched by major overseas players. The market was not seen as a profitable target for investment considering the low average income. But in recent years, incomes have grown along with the economy, and a middle class with spare cash to spend on entertainment has started to emerge. Indonesia's per-capita gross domestic product was about $3,900 in 2020, climbing by more than 20% over a decade, according to the International Monetary Fund. The figure for Thailand topped $7,000, giving the nation upper-middle income status. Foreign tourists are also a key target market, which is why Sony and Paramount are locating theme parks near resort spots. With COVID-19 infections heading toward manageable levels, tourists are expected to return in droves to getaways. Capturing part of that demand would be a boon for the theme parks. Representatives from Paramount and Indonesian developer Kios Ria Kreasi sign a theme park agreement in Los Angeles in late July. (Photo courtesy of Kios Ria Kreasi) In other Asian countries, the openings of large theme parks have tracked gains in income levels. Tokyo Disneyland, for example, opened in 1983 when Japan's per-capita GDP was about $10,000. Shanghai Disneyland opened its doors in 2016 when China's per capita GDP was in the $8,000 range, with that measure believed to be above $10,000 in urban areas. In Thailand and Indonesia, the per-capita GDPs in urban areas appears to be around $10,000 as well. However, it remains to be seen whether the theme parks will turn out the way the two Hollywood studios plan. While large theme parks perform well at drawing tourists from neighboring countries, they also risk losing visitors to a rival site. A prime example was Hong Kong Disneyland, which opened in 2005 and struggled to turn a profit. After Shanghai Disneyland opened in 2016, the Hong Kong counterpart lost traffic and slumped further. And if existing theme parks undertake major renovation projects in response to the new attractions, Sony and Paramount may not realize their ambitions. Infrastructure development presents another thorny issue. In late August, there were reports that the planned highway that would run near Paramount's Bali theme park is facing delays. Considering past cases involving local companies, Paramount cannot rule out lengthy postponements or outright cancellations of construction projects.

Can beancurd skin, more commonly known as tau kee, be counted as meat? For the economical rice stall in the Food Junction food court of Rivervale Mall in Sengkang, it apparently can. More from AsiaOneRead the condensed version of this story, and other top stories with NewsLite. Stomp contributor Dina found this out only when she ordered a tomato egg, cabbage, tau kee, and sweet and sour pork from the stall on Wednesday (Sept 21) at 1.30pm. "I was expecting to be charged for three vegetable and one meat items," she said. "To my surprise, when I went to pay at the cashier, I was charged for two meat and two vegetable items." The receipt in the photo she shared with Stomp showed that she was charged $6.10 for her plate of food. "I asked the lady at the cashier why I was charged for two meat items when I had only the sweet and sour pork," recounted the Stomp contributor. "Her reply: 'Tau kee is now expensive, counts as meat.' "I paid without arguing and left the stall. It was not their fault as they probably were just following orders. "Is this the norm? I'd never ordered tau kee from this stall so maybe that's just the way they operate, but I think the stall should have put a notice or informed me that the tau kee was a meat dish. "The difference between two meat and two vegetable items and one meat and vegetable items was $1.60. which is very expensive for just tau kee. I would have ordered another meat dish for that price."

looks pretty much ky

SINGAPORE - The registration fees for the amateur races in the inaugural Tour de France Prudential Singapore Criterium on Oct 29-30 drew mixed reactions from the local cycling community after they were announced on Thursday. Some thought the $220 price tag for the men's seniors and masters categories in the Amateur Criterium on Oct 30 was too steep while others felt the price, which includes a two-day event pass worth $118 and an event jersey valued at $180, was reasonable. Registration for both categories and other community rides is open. Riders in the seniors category (aged 19 to 34) take part in a 24.8km race, while those in the masters category (aged 35 and above) will participate in an 18.6km race. A local cycling enthusiast, who did not wish to be named, was initially thrilled about the event but is now turned off by the price and will not be attending. The 43-year-old, who has been cycling for 30 years, called the price absurd, noting that local races typically cost between $60 and $100. His last race was the SportsHub Sports Series: Cycle For Hope 2022 in August that cost $80. He said: "To pay $220 for this event, and at a time when the whole world is going through inflation and financial uncertainties, is a little hard for me to digest. It's too high for a one-day race which is less than 50km. "I was very excited when I heard the race was coming to Singapore with the Tour de France riders. But when I heard of the entry fee, I'm no longer excited but disappointed." In contrast, avid cyclist Lukman Nurhakim Noordin has already signed up for the masters race and is eager to try the route for the first time. While he thinks the price is reasonable after taking into account the two-day pass, he understands that others, especially younger cyclists who are not financially independent, might be unable to afford it. The 42-year-old teacher said: "There might be racers who are only interested in racing and not watching the event, who will feel that it's still on the steep side. "For passionate racers like me, this opportunity to race is hard to pass up and we are willing to pay the premium for it. "Racing opportunities in Singapore are hard to come by. When there is a race, riders will sign up for it just because of their passion for road racing. The fact that it will be held in the city centre is a chance not to be missed." He is also looking forward to using his pass to catch world-class cyclists, like 2022 Tour de France winner Jonas Vingegaard, up close. He added: "We watch them on TV, but being able to see them zoom past you at high speed is another kind of thrill." This is the first Tour de France criterium to be held in South-east Asia after similar events in China and Japan. PHOTO: TOUR DE FRANCE SINGAPORE CRITERIUM/FACEBOOK The races, along with other community rides, will take place along a 3.1km route in the city that passes landmarks like the Merlion and Esplanade before ending at The Float @ Marina Bay. This is the first Tour de France criterium to be held in South-east Asia after similar events in China and Japan. The Singapore edition will feature 32 riders from eight professional cycling teams, including British Olympic silver medallist Mark Cavendish, who holds the joint record of 34 for most Tour de France stage wins. Avid cyclists can also be part of the event by joining other community rides such as the Pruride Seeker's Society which includes a cycling clinic and the Absolute Cycle Race, where participants will attempt to clock the furthest distance in 10 minutes on a stationary bike.

SINGAPORE - A 16-year-old Chinese national was tricked into staging a hostage situation to frighten his mother after he was accused of smuggling contraband cigarettes to Singapore and other offences. In late August, Ethan (not his real name), who is studying in Singapore, received a call from a bogus "Ministry of Health" officer here accusing him of spreading Covid-19 rumours in China and the smuggling offence. Knowing he was innocent, he refuted the accusations, but the caller then told him his mother could have given his personal data to malicious actors who committed those crimes using his identity. The caller added that the "China police" would contact him for further investigations. When the "China police" called him, Ethan was told his mother was involved in money laundering and was asked to stage a hostage situation to convince her to confess. Though Ethan, who is close to his mother, did not believe that she would implicate him or was involved in money laundering, the Secondary 3 student was afraid of the consequences of the law and agreed to stage the hostage situation. During a media interview on Wednesday, he said: "I knew I had never committed those crimes. But I was scared that if I didn't comply (with the police), I wouldn't be able to return to China... I was scared I would go to jail." He said he was also worried for his mother as "money laundering is a serious crime in China". In China, anyone convicted of money laundering can be jailed for up to 10 years and faces a fine of between 5 per cent and 20 per cent of the sum laundered. The scammers told Ethan not to communicate with anyone while "police investigations" were ongoing. On Sept 12, he was instructed to leave his student hostel to stage the hostage situation. The scammers arranged for a vehicle to take him to an unknown location to film a video of himself with his hands bound on a sofa. To make the video more realistic, Ethan was instructed to buy ketchup from a nearby mall and smear it all over himself to make it look as though he was injured. He also stuck bandages on his body. Ethan said: "I thought it was very strange (to do so), but I had no evidence it was a scam. I did not dare to ask for help or tell anyone because I believed there would be serious consequences." The scammers later sent the video to Ethan's mother in China and demanded a 1 million yuan (S$200,000) ransom in exchange for Ethan's safe return. It is not known how they had her contact details and Ethan's personal particulars. More On This Topic How to avoid falling prey to China officials impersonation scams 4 common types of scams and how to recognise them Fortunately, his mother, a designer in her 40s, did not accede to their request. On Sept 13, Ethan was safely located by the police, who told him he had fallen victim to a China official impersonation scam. They had received a report the day before, after hostel staff discovered his absence. Ethan was one of two victims of such scams who spoke about their ordeal during the media interview arranged by the police. The other victim, a 24-year-old Chinese national who arrived in July to enrol in a master's programme at a university here, was also told to film a video of himself being bound to assist the China police's investigations. He had been accused of attempting to import illegal Covid-19 medicine into Singapore. The 24-year-old victim was told to record videos of himself and pretend to be kidnapped to assist with "China police" investigations. ST PHOTO: GAVIN FOO Reflecting on his experience, Ethan said: "My mum was very worried when she thought I was injured. I feel so guilty when I think about how my teachers and friends had sent me messages to ask where I had gone. "I should communicate more often with my parents and guardian, and will not believe others so easily in future." From January to August 2022, a total of 476 China official impersonation scams were reported, with losses amounting to at least $57.3 million. The figures are similar to those for the same period in 2021, with the police recording 474 such cases and victims losing at least $61.9 million. A total of $227.8 million was lost to the top 10 scam types in the first six months of 2022, up from the $142.5 million lost in the same period in 2021. How to avoid scams • Ignore calls, especially those from unknown parties and originating from overseas. • No government agency will ask for payment or personal information through a phone call or messaging platforms. • Foreigners living in Singapore can verify the claims made by callers who say they are police officers from their home country by contacting their embassy or high commission. • Hang up the phone if in doubt and check with the Singapore police.

After stabbing his roommate five times during an argument, a cleaner left their Bedok Reservoir flat without checking on him but contacted mutual friends, asking them to call the victim. The next morning, Myanmar national Naing Lin returned to the flat with a friend, saw the victim motionless on the floor through the window, and decided to surrender himself to the police. On Thursday (Sept 22), Naing Lin, 51, was sentenced to life imprisonment after he was convicted of murder for fatally stabbing compatriot Myo Kyaw Thu, 49, in their flat at about 6pm on April 2, 2021. The charge of murder with the intention to cause fatal injury carries the death sentence, or life imprisonment and caning. Prosecutors did not object to the life sentence. Citing the legal test for when the death penalty is justified, Deputy Public Prosecutor Teo Lu Jia said the accused did not exhibit viciousness or a blatant disregard for human life in committing the offence. Justice Valerie Thean agreed that the unique circumstances of the case did not warrant the death penalty. Naing Lin cannot be caned as he is older than 50. The court heard that Myo Kyaw Thu, who last worked in Singapore as a senior technician, was in Singapore on a short-term visit pass and shared a room with Naing Lin. On April 2, 2021, Naing Lin went drinking with some friends after work. When he returned home, he got into an argument with Myo Kyaw Thu over the latter's spending habits. Naing Lin told him that it was shameful that he borrowed money from others despite being an engineer. Upset, the victim replied that he would not ask the accused for money in future. Naing Lin then went to the kitchen and took out a knife as he wanted to fry some eggs and onions. Still holding the knife, he went back to the room to get his phone. But when Myo Kyaw Thu saw him with the knife, he uttered an expletive. Naing Lin then slashed the victim's face and stabbed him four times in the chest and abdomen and once in the left arm. As Myo Kyaw Thu lay bleeding on his bed, Naing Lin left the flat. He made six phone calls to a female friend, telling her that he was waiting for the police to arrest him, and asked her to call the victim. The next morning, he asked another friend to call the victim. Naing Lin himself also called and texted the victim, but received no response. He then contacted other flatmates, who said they did not see the victim in the morning. He eventually asked a friend to go with him to check on Myo Kyaw Thu. Seeing the victim bloodied and motionless through the window, they left without entering the flat and agreed that Naing Lin should surrender himself. Defence counsel Sanjiv Rajan said that Naing Lin's voluntary surrender to the police showed that he was remorseful. The lawyer highlighted that in a police statement recorded one day after his surrender, Naing Lin said: "I should have called for the ambulance, then my friend would not have died. "In my moment of drunk state (sic) and confusion, I left the house and drove away. I am very sad about what happened."
