What a feeling it is, queuing up in this beastly weather to get your hands on some good nosh… But you can’t savour it immediately, ’cos there are no dine-in seats. Sadness. Folks who have been to Dickson Nasi Lemak at Joo Chiat may have experienced the above. The nearly two-year-old takeaway nasi lemak joint was opened by Hoh Loyi, 24, the owner of bolo bao specialty cafe Champion Bolo Bun. It was named after Dickson Road in Little India, which was previously a potential location for the nasi lemak shop before plans fell through. The KL-born Loyi launched a traditional nasi lemak concept as the antithesis of her mod cafe. Like her first biz, Dickson Nasi Lemak also took off ’cos it was like a local version of KL’s famous Village Park Restaurant nasi lemak — the ayam berempah (spiced fried chicken), rice and other fixings are cooked according to a recipe provided by a chef who used to work at Village Park for 15 years. 1of3 Upcoming dine-in outlet at Tanjong Pagar Come June 2024, folks working in the CBD will be able to tuck into a plate of Dickson nasi lemak. The brand will open its first dine-in outlet at Icon Village, which is a very short walk from Tanjong Pagar MRT station. 2of3 Loyi tells 8days.sg that the outlet’s decor and seating capacity are still in the works, as is the menu. But customers can expect “the usuals that Dickson Nasi Lemak is selling right now”, like Ayam Goreng Berempah Nasi Lemak (currently from $6.90), Chicken Rendang Nasi Lemak (currently from $8.30), and Basic (currently from $3.30). Each option comes with coconut milk-infused rice, fried anchovies and peanuts, cucumbers, sambal, and the customer's choice of a hardboiled egg or fried egg (top up for the latter). There are also a la carte beverages like Teh Peng, Kopi Peng, Iced Bandung and Iced Green Tea to make your nasi lemak a set meal. 3of3 Singaporean breakfast classics But other than just serving nasi lemak, Loyi is also expanding her menu at Tanjong Pagar. She shares that it will be “kopitiam-style”, and includes “some Singaporean breakfast classics like the local egg-and-toast set with local drinks”. She adds: “There will be one or two surprise items too, but we’re still in the midst of finalising the menu.” Dickson Nasi Lemak is at 320 Joo Chiat Rd, S427571 (Joo Chiat outlet) and #01-89/90 Icon Village, 12 Gopeng St, S078877 (Tanjong Pagar outlet opening circa June 2024). www.dicksonnasilemak.com Photos: Dickson Nasi Lemak No part of this story or photos can be reproduced without permission from 8days.sg. 8days.sg is now on #tiktok!

SINGAPORE: The last accused person in the 2019 killing of a man during a fight at Orchard Towers was found guilty of murder on Thursday (Apr 25). Tan Sen Yang, now 32, was sentenced to life imprisonment and 12 strokes of the cane by Justice Aedit Abdullah. The prosecution did not seek the death penalty. Seven people, including Tan, were initially charged with murder with common intention over the death of 31-year-old Satheesh Noel Gobidass on the morning of Jul 2, 2019. He died of a stab wound to the neck. Tan was the only one still facing the murder charge after six of the accused – Joel Tan Yun Sheng, Chan Jia Xing, Ang Da Yuan, Loo Boon Chong, Tan Hong Sheng and Natalie Siow Yu Zhen – had their charges reduced. The conclusion of Tan's trial means that all seven accused have been convicted and sentenced. Tan appeared in court on Thursday in a purple prison jumpsuit and his head shaven. After he was sentenced, he asked to speak to five family members who were present, including his father. Tan had contested his murder charge and was defended by a team of lawyers comprising Mr Teo Choo Kee, Mr Subir Singh Grewal and Mr Nichol Yeo. During the trial, prosecutors showed closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage from Orchard Towers that showed Tan and his co-accused getting into a dispute with other patrons outside Naughty Girl Club, and a karambit knife in Tan's hand. CCTV cameras captured the fatal fight on the ground floor of the mall, with Tan seen punching Mr Satheesh. He admitted to holding the karambit knife while doing so. Justice Aedit ruled that Tan intentionally inflicted a neck injury on Mr Satheesh that was sufficient to cause death in the ordinary course of nature. Acknowledging the "spirited defence" mounted by Tan's lawyers, he nonetheless rejected each of their arguments. Tan's defence lawyers had tried to introduce doubt as to whether other members of his group were armed and could have inflicted the fatal injury. In particular, another member of the group was seen in CCTV footage holding a black object. But the judge said he was satisfied this was not a weapon and was likely an e-cigarette instead. Justice Aedit said it was theoretically possible that other members of the group had time after the fight to dispose of any weapons they could have been holding. But weighed against the fact that Tan was armed and struck Mr Satheesh, the possibility that they could have inflicted the fatal injury was not sufficient to raise reasonable doubt, he found. Another argument by the defence was that eight wounds were found on Mr Satheesh's body, but CCTV footage only captured Tan punching the victim's face three times. The fight was a "dynamic" situation, with both Tan and Mr Satheesh moving vigorously, and one blow could have inflicted more than one cut, said the judge. Justice Aedit also rejected the defence of diminished responsibility. The court previously heard that Tan suffered from alcohol use disorder, with a history of adjustment disorder and depressed mood. A medical expert for the defence had testified that Tan was also previously diagnosed with major depressive disorder with psychotic features and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Tan's lawyers had argued that these disorders operated in a "synergistic manner" to substantially impair his impulse control. But the prosecution's expert had found that Tan's alcohol use disorder and adjustment disorder did not contribute to his offending, and that Tan's PTSD was in remission at the time. Tan was also in control of his mental faculties at the time, said the judge, noting that he chose to return to Orchard Towers to participate in the fight. Justice Aedit also said that Tan fled from the scene after hearing that police were arriving, which showed he understood that his actions were wrong. The penalty for murder is the death penalty or life imprisonment. Deputy Public Prosecutor Hay Hung Chun sought life imprisonment and at least 15 strokes of the cane for Tan. Defence lawyer Mr Teo asked the judge to consider life imprisonment and at least 12 strokes of the cane. In sentencing, Justice Aedit agreed with the prosecution that the offence did not warrant the death sentence. He also said that Tan's prior convictions – including voluntarily causing hurt in 2011 as well as affray and criminal intimidation in 2014 – were not material to sentencing, given the length of time that had passed and difference in severity with the present murder charge. The Orchard Towers case attracted public attention after most of the suspects had their charges downgraded from murder. The Attorney-General's Chambers refuted online comments about preferential treatment because of their race. The law and order situation at Orchard Towers also came under scrutiny. The mall is undergoing a makeover and its nightlife outlets ceased operations in 2023 after the police stopped granting and renewing their licences. Source: CNA/dv(mi)

JOHOR BARU: An alarming discovery was made at the Bangunan Sultan Iskandar (BSI) checkpoint on March 27, where imported canned sardines from Singapore were found to be contaminated with Anisakis spp. parasitic worms. Consuming food infected with these parasites can result in severe stomach pains, nausea, and vomiting. Johor Malaysian Quarantine and Inspection Services (Maqis) took swift action, confiscating 16,320kg of the canned sardines valued at approximately RM84,000. The seizure occurred after the lorry transporting the goods failed to produce the necessary import permits. Johor Maqis director, Edie Putra Md Yusof, revealed that samples of the sardines were sent to the Chemistry Department for testing, which confirmed the presence of the parasitic worms. "The initial physical inspections revealed foreign substances in the seized sardines, prompting us to conduct further analysis," he said. The sardines, originating from China and imported by Singapore, were transported into the country via the Custom, Immigration, and Quarantine complex at BSI. Edie Putra emphasised that stringent action would be taken under Section 14(a) of the Malaysian Quarantine and Inspection Services Act 2011 [Act 728], which prohibits the import of goods containing pests, diseases, or contaminants. Offenders could face hefty fines of up to RM100,000, a jail term of up to six years, or both, as stipulated by the law. https://www.nst.com.my/news/crime-c...orms-found-canned-sardines-imported-singapore

Michelin-approved satay bee hoon stall to close on 30 April On Tuesday (23 April), Michelin-approved Shi Wei Da Satay Bee Hoon announced its upcoming closure via a Facebook post. Source: Shi Wei Da Satay Bee Hoon on Facebook The stall located at Fengshan Food Centre, also famously known as Bedok 85, has served satay bee hoon for 30 years. “We have made the difficult decision to close our doors suddenly as the current stall has been sold,” wrote the owner’s daughter, Adeline Ng. Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant The stall was in the Bib Gourmand selection of the MICHELIN Guide Singapore 2018. What earned it a spot on the list is the rich, nutty satay bee hoon that’s a blend of sweet, savoury and spicy.

The lightweight fighter apologized for his behavior in an awkward video alongside the ring girl, who was visibly uncomfortable in his presence so soon after being the victim of unwarranted aggression. “Hello, everyone. This is for Maria. I didn’t act right with her. The reason was that before the MMA fight, there were a lot of fistfights. I stayed there in the cage, and I just wanted to go out and fight,” he said. “I was tense and, as most understand, emotions flourish in the fight, so before the fight, I acted badly towards María. I want to publicly apologize to her. I am a married man, so I respect the female gender. She was doing her job, and I, after the fight, didn’t admit my guilt either because they also hit me on the head. Tell María that I am sorry.”

SINGAPORE — A car workshop employee has filed a police report after he got death threats against him and his family for posting dashboard camera footage of the lead-up to a Tampines road accident that killed two people on Monday (April 22). Mr Anthony Soon, a senior adviser at car repair and maintenance firm Success United, said that online users had mistaken him for the driver of a white Mercedes-Benz, which appears to have been sideswiped by a black Saab. Speaking to TODAY on Wednesday, Mr Soon clarified that he was not the driver of the Mercedes-Benz and had posted the footage on the SG Road Vigilante Facebook page on behalf of the driver who did not have a social media account. In an update on Wednesday, the police confirmed that a 42-year-old male car driver who was assisting with investigations has been discharged from the hospital and was then “placed under arrest for dangerous driving causing death”. “His driving licence has also been suspended with immediate effect," the police added. TODAY understands that the arrested man was the driver of the black Saab. The accident at the junction of Tampines Avenue 1 and Tampines Avenue 4 resulted in eight people being taken to the hospital. Two of them, 17-year-old Temasek Junior College student Afifah Munirah and 57-year-old pest control company employee Norzihan Juwahib, died from their injuries. Mr Soon said that he posted the footage “not because of insurance reporting (purposes)” but because he wanted the public to know that the white car was not in the wrong. He did not think there was anything wrong with helping to share the footage on social media. “Because of this, people have threatened to rape my daughter, photos of me and my family have been posted online and people have called me and (given) me death threats because I posted that video on Facebook. Even when I go down to buy food, people also recognise me,” he added. In response to TODAY’s queries on Mr Soon, the police confirmed that a report had been made. A social media post allegedly written by the actual driver of the white Mercedes Benz trying to “rationalise and clear up obvious misconceptions” also fanned the flames and worsened the situation for Mr Soon. On this, Mr Soon said that the post could not have been written by the driver of the white Mercedes-Benz, describing the driver as a man in his 50s who spoke in Mandarin and understood little English. Mr Soon added that the driver had engaged the services of his firm four times before this incident. Police investigations are ongoing.

It was said to be taken from a white Mercedes-Benz and showed the scene of a fatal accident in Tampines that happened on April 22, 2024.

Malaysia’s prime minister has reportedly been in talks with two of the country’s gaming entrepreneurs, Lim Kok Thay of global casino group Genting, and Vincent Tan of lottery specialist Berjaya Corp Bhd, about the possibility of putting a casino in a struggling US$100-billion real estate development that has Chinese backing, called Forest City in Johor, close to the border with Singapore. That is according to a Thursday report by Bloomberg, citing people it did not name, but said were familiar with the matter. Genting runs what is currently Malaysia’s only casino resort, Resorts World Genting, at Genting Highlands, outside the national Kuala Lumpur. The talks involving Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim were said to have taken place last week, at the Forest City site. Bloomberg said one of Forest City’s backers, Chinese real estate firm Country Garden Holdings Ltd, was in favour of such a move. Country Garden has recently seen its shares suspended on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, due to a delay in its financial reporting. The current ceremonial monarch of Malaysia, Sultan Ibrahim Iskandar, who is also sultan of Johor state, is said to hold more than 20 percent of the joint venture vehicle involving Country Garden that is the master developer of Forest City. The report said the monarch was represented at the talks. Bloomberg cited a spokesperson for Berjaya as saying it was not aware of any talks between Mr Tan and the Prime Minister regarding Forest City. The news outlet added that neither Genting, Country Garden, or the monarch’s office, responded to request for comment. https://www.ggrasia.com/malaysia-govt-mulls-second-genting-casino-says-report/

SINGAPORE: A 42-year-old car driver will be charged in court on Thursday (Apr 25) with four offences over his involvement in Monday's multi-vehicle accident in Tampines that killed two people. The offences under the Road Traffic Act include dangerous driving causing death and dangerous driving causing hurt, the police said late on Wednesday. He will also be charged with dangerous driving and failing to stop after an accident. Police investigations are ongoing for other potential offences. The offence of dangerous driving causing death carries a jail term of between two and eight years, as well as disqualification from driving all classes of vehicles. The offence of dangerous driving causing hurt carries a fine of up to S$10,000, or jail for up to two years, or both, as well as disqualification from driving all classes of vehicles. Those found guilty of dangerous driving face a fine of up to S$5,000, a jail term of up to 12 months, or both. The offence of failing to stop after an accident carries a fine of up to S$1,000, or an imprisonment term of up three months, or both for each of the offences. LICENCE SUSPENDED The accident, which happened at the junction of Tampines Avenue 1 and Avenue 4 on Monday morning, involved four cars, a van and a minibus. CNA understands that the 42-year-old was driving the black Saab that was caught on dashcam footage speeding and sideswiping a white car before a junction. Moments later, multiple vehicles are seen damaged at the junction, with a black car overturned. In an earlier statement in response to media queries, the police said the man was arrested after he was discharged from hospital on Wednesday. His driving licence was also suspended with immediate effect. A 17-year-old student at Temasek Junior College and a 57-year-old woman were killed. Six others were taken to hospital, including the driver. Those injured included the father of the 17-year-old Temasek JC victim, a 64-year-old van driver, an 11-year-old car passenger and an 11-year-old minibus passenger. According to the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF), a person was found with one leg trapped under the wheel of a car. Officers had to use hydraulic rescue equipment to free the person's leg. PUBLIC CONCERN Chairman of the Government Parliamentary Committee that oversees transport, Saktiandi Supaat said on Wednesday evening that he has raised several parliamentary questions to the Ministry of Transport (MOT) and the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). Among them is whether the authorities will consider stricter enforcement measures or legislative changes to “ensure greater accountability” and discourage dangerous driving. Parliament will next sit on May 7. Footage of the accident's aftermath circulating on social media shows several damaged vehicles at a busy junction in Tampines with debris strewn between them. One of the vehicles is upside down. (Images: Instagram/brucewayneming) …see more This follows public concern about road safety and penalties under the Road Traffic Act in light of several recent multi-vehicle accidents. "There have been a number of multi-vehicle accidents lately but the recent cases in Tampines and on the PIE (Pan Island Expressway) on Apr 22 have deeply affected those involved and the wider Singaporean community." Six people were taken to hospital after an accident along the PIE involving six cars and a taxi. Among the injured was a seven-year-old. "I strongly believe that meaningful changes must be made to minimise such accidents, whether through revisiting and enhancing current mitigating measures or implementing stricter enforcement to deter dangerous behavior and protect law-abiding motorists and pedestrians alike," he wrote. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/tampines-accident-man-charged-42-year-old-black-saab-2-killed-4288821

Ouch: Poor kaki paid $2,020.90 for a steak I am writing to express my extreme disappointment with the recent experience I had at Common Grill by COLLIN’S. On April 23, 2024, I visited your establishment and ordered a ribeye steak, which was priced at $20.90. However, upon reviewing my bill, I discovered that I had been overcharged by $2000 for the ribeye steak. Upon noticing this discrepancy, I immediately brought it to the attention of your staff. I was informed that I would need to wait for two weeks to receive a refund. However, I found this unacceptable and requested a resolution on the spot. Despite my insistence, I was made to wait for one and a half hours, only to be told that nothing could be done without the manager's approval. After the staff took down my contact details, they promised me an answer by the following day, which is today. However, after office hours, I still haven’t received any call from the management. I implore you to understand that while $2000 may seem insignificant to your business, it represents a significant portion of my income.
