The driver of this silver Mitsubishi Space Wagon (SFD1414R) was flashing his middle finger as he drove past, to drivers who apparently did not give way to him earlier. "I watched unbelievably as he seemed to enjoy doing it," said Andrew. "As I drove past him, I was shown the middle finger too." One of Andrew's passengers took out his camera and caught this footage.

Chris was on his way home after work Monday (Sept 4) when he took this video of a woman catching 40 winks on SBS Transit Bus No. 57.

Chris is annoyed at such selfish behaviour and sent us this clip to remind us to be more considerate towards others. |

14-year-old Elizabeth Nair sent us this mms taken at the National Library.
She was selecting a few books to borrow when she saw that some were 'on fire'.
It turned out it was all part of the Arts Biennale that's on right now, and that images of fire were projected onto selected books.
Elizabeth thought it was cool of the Library to have such an exhibition. |

Edith Tan is clear about one thing - if bus operators are going to raise fares, she expects better. She sent us this mms clip taken on Wed (2 Aug) and the title's in her own words. This is what Edith said: " It was raining and I was on the upper deck front row seat. Whenever the bus braked, the forward-jerking created a tsunami along with the litter on the bus... doesn't the bus company carry out routine checks on its bus fleet?"
Edith has got a point, but STOMP figures litter-bug passengers are just as much to blame. |

59-year-old Peter Yu is fed-up with this constant sight of bicycles parking at the bus-stop outside Sembawang MRT. He says there's often just no space to sit at all. There's a proper parking area for the bicycles, but the cyclists obviously prefer this more convenient one which is just a hop away from the station. |
