Ryan Tng, 34, a Security Systems Administrator, was on his way to lunch on Jul 20 but was delayed as there was a massive jam which started after the Kallang exit along the PIE. The reason for this? A ten- car pile up on Lanes 1 and 2 at the CTE near the Balestier exit. Fortunately no one was physically hurt in the accident.


Mr Lee, 35, came down to his car this morning to find it severely vandalised. Paint-remover had been thrown over the car, and it ate into the plastic of the headlights. The vehicles in the Bedok Reservoir View estate had been subjected to such acts for some time.

Here's what he said when he sent in this mms: ''Where in Singapore can you get such a beautiful sunset view from your office?? Lucky me.''


THEY'RE STILL HERE
Hsu Li Ren sent this mms in at 7.45am yesterday morning (19 July). The picture is no different from the one he sent the day before. Cabbies are still playing the waiting game along Bayshore Road as they hold out for phone bookings.

UPDATE: IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK, MR HSU
Not everyone agrees with Mr Hsu that cabbies along Bayshore Road were holding out for phone bookings.

Some residents also living at Bayshore Park contacted STOMP to offer support to the cabbies.

Madam Wong called to say that the there is no taxi stand outside Bayshore, and that's why the taxis wait there. They're not idling or waiting for any bookings, just waiting for residents, she pointed out.

Another resident, Stephanie Chan, says those cabbies have been providing non-drivers like her a convenience. They're not after phone bookings, they're just meeting a need.


For the past two days, Richards Place has been hosting an unusual visitor.

This unusual bird was first spotted by Mark Wee and Michael Chen, both 7, and Grace Wee, 4.

Hospital business development manager Mdm Irene Chan, 37, wants to know what type of bird this is. It is rather inactive and spends most of its time perched on a shrub. "We hope it is not hurt," Mdm Chan says.


A cleaner at the Four Seasons Park condo had the shock of his life when he found a hand grenade in a rubbish chute there this morning (18 July).

The police, Internal Security Department and the Explosives and Ordinance Disposal unit were called in at about 9.45am. Investigations showed it was a training grenade and it has been taken away to be exploded.

Just last week, a 'live' WWII bomb was found in Toa Payoh Lorong 6 and detonated by the Army's bomb disposal team.


Mr Md Maideen saw this blind elderly woman with a walking stick being guided into the train at Aljunied station. She was left standing and held on to the bar for support until she alighted at Bedok.

The 44-year-old businessman, who stood next to her, noticed her discomfort and wondered why no one offered a seat to the blind lady. At one point, Mr Maideen wanted to ask the two women sitting near the old lady to offer their seat to her, but refrained because he felt they "might be offended".

Mr Maideen thinks this is a "serious social issue" and hopes people can be more considerate, particularly to the disabled.

Are Singaporeans in general an inconsiderate bunch? What makes us so?


Robert and Geraldine Ronald sent us this email about Bukit Panjang residents collecting their 'miracle' water from a drainage pipe along BKE. Fans of this drink claim the water is safe and one man mentioned he had been drinking it for a while and nothing has happened to him. Yet. What exactly is the source of this water, they ask, and is it really safe?


Enough is enough says Bayshore Park condo resident, Hsu Li Ren.

He sent us this MMS at 8 this morning (18 July) showing a row of cabs along Bayshore Road. It's become a common sight, he says, and he has even spotted up to 20 cabs playing the waiting game.

The reason?
Mr Hsu puts it all down to the new increases in taxi booking and peak hour charges as cabbies will earn more if they wait for call bookings.

This incident took place just before the Senai Airport exit along the North-South Highway during the June school vacation.

Anyone knows who it belongs to?
