Serious accident on PIE involving a TP bike

A morning accident on 31 May along PIE resulted in a major traffic standstill. Not your typically accident as this involved a Traffic Police bike as well.

From the photos can't really deduce what happen but I suspect is that the Traffic Police might have been coming fast from the back trying to enforce something then suddenly the blue car might have just change into the Traffic Police lane without early signal hence causing the accident.

Explosion on engine of Malaysia Airline flight

Small sparks caused by an explosion on the left engine of Malaysia Airlines flight MH1438 while it was 20,000 feet off the ground, caused panic among passengers on board a flight bound for Langkawi on 20 May 2014.

Reported some passengers cry when they heard the explosion... MAS is the most unsafe Airline to travel with currently... Especially with the tragic MH370 incident to continue to be warning to passengers travelling with them...

Swallowtail Moth Lyssa Zampa spotted around many places in Singapore

Lyssa Zampa, which is also known as the tropical swallowtail moth is a species of moth of the family Uraniidae. Monday seem to be the day where it suddendly burst in population!

Spotted about 3 in Bedok Camp during IPT session then when having dinner at Bedok Food Center also spotted another one. Was at first thinking it might have be the same one as from the camp as it could have just flown out since the camp and food center are just opposite each other. However when I back in Sengkang spotted another 2 more near my lift lobby... Confirm plus chop not the same two I spotted in Bedok Camp...

Man sacked after posting vulgar reply to PM's Facebook post

A Facebook user who posted vulgar abuse in response to Mother's Day wishes by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has been sacked from his job.

Kinda dumb if you ask me. Nowadays whatever we post on social media had to be careful... No one really care if it is your personal views or what as long as it is on social media it is available to the whole world to view and judge what you wrote. Luckily for this man he is only sacked from his job and nothing else...

Many of us in Singapore will have our salary was deducted each month to put into our CPF's account which will be either be used to pay for our HDB flats or simply saved in hope that once we retire we will be able to live our retirement as how we plan to. However with the CPF minimum sum keep increasing, I really wonder if we will ever to get to see (not even use) our CPF money when we retire or worst when we KO...

Anyone can help answer what really is the purpose of having "Minimum Sum"?

5 youths arrested for Toa Payoh graffiti case

5 17-year old youths have been arrested by the police for Toa Payoh graffiti case.

Wow impress by the speed at which the Singapore Police investigate and arrested the youths... From the photos it does look like the 5 youths are recruits serving their NS...

Wonder what do they have against PAP... They are not impacted by raising housing cost since non can buy one yet, not paying any any taxes except GST, not voting...Don't tell me the issue they have against PAP is actually NS?

Graffiti spotted at the top of 22-storey high HDB block in Toa Payoh

Red graffiti targeted towards the People Action Party (PAP) was spotted at the top of a 22 storey high HDB block in Toa Payoh on 08 Mar, 2014 morning.

I am surprise someone could actually gain access to the rooftop especially since measures have been put in place since the case of a women body found in the water tank on rooftop. But this act was totally unnecessary and does not serve any purposes at all... Nothing is going to change just because of the graffiti and worst now the police are investigating the case and the guy who did it would be charge with vandalism...

Is it worth to go against the law and endanger one's future just to express the unhappiness toward PAP?
