ceca and their culture

A sleeping passenger was left in an SMRT bus parked at the Woodlands interchange on March 17 morning. A video was posted on the Roads.sg Facebook page showing the passenger seated in front on the upper level of the double-decker bus.   https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1815720519225183&t=0   In response to a Stomp query, Deputy Managing Director of SMRT Buses Vincent Gay said the passenger was found asleep on bus service number 913 at the end of its service at 10.30am. "Our investigations found that the bus captain did not check whether there were any passengers onboard before parking," added Mr Gay.   "The passenger was subsequently assisted by an interchange staff member and alighted safely. "The bus captain has been counselled, and we have also reminded all bus captains to adhere to all operational protocols while performing their duties.”  

A newsstand "NEWSPOINT" that has been in operation for about 30 years will close at the end of this month, and the old newspaper vendor said that as the stall is about to be reclaimed, he is most reluctant to build an emotional network with the neighborhood. The mall said that the lease expires at the end of this month and will work closely with the newspaper vendor to ensure a smooth transition. Since taking over the newsstand business from a friend in 2011, Wang Yaojiang (61) knows almost everything about the habits of regular customers buying newspapers, and he is also familiar with old neighborhoods. In addition to selling newspapers and magazines, it also sells snacks and drinks, so almost everyone who passes by will stop and take a look at it even if they don't buy it. In addition, it is also one of the bases for the "Shin Min Daily" to hold gift promotions. Newsstands are open daily from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m., sometimes until midnight. Only on Chinese New Year's Eve, Wang Yaojiang will close the stall at 6 p.m. to celebrate the holiday with his family. In addition, he guards the newsstand and delivers the freshest news to the residents. The newsstand is a day in and day out chronicling an ordinary and busy day in the community, but it will officially come to an end on March 31.   Wang Yaojiang said that because the stall was to be taken back, he could only end the service that his friend had provided to him for about 30 years at the end of the month. Wong revealed that the newsstand was originally required to close in August last year, and he twice turned to Chung Kei-hung, a member of the Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC constituency serving the district, and through Chung's help, he was able to get the deadline until the end of this month. Wong Yiu-kong was mindful of the Legislature's assistance, and he said that he was embarrassed to trouble the other party again, but he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart that the fate of the newsstand would turn around, and that the relevant agencies would consider the convenience it had brought to the residents by serving here for many years and approve the continuation of business.   Nearby resident "Amei" (66, cashier) has been a regular customer of the newsstand for decades, and goes to the newsstand every day at 3 p.m. to buy a newspaper and go home. She admits to lamenting the news of the newsstand's closure, and may be very unaccustomed to it. "Without this newsstand, it feels like something is missing." When questioned, a spokesperson for Bishan Station 8 said that after the newsstand closes on the 31st of this month, there will be no new tenants in the space, and no more tenants will be rented. The spokesperson said the team had been communicating with the newsseller until the last day of operation and would work closely with them to ensure a smooth transition. Residents can continue to purchase newspapers from nearby newspaper vending machines or newsstands.
