Cold Comfort for fare caught in a rage ride

Latest comments

Premlata, You are committing sin after sin. You deprived livelihood
for the poor taxi driver. Probably that day he was off mood. Now you
are not satisfied with $ 10 voucher. How much you want $ 1 million.?
Come on lah.. this is not US where crazy litigations are possible.
probably you will go to hell for your sinful mind.

To the writer of this letter (obviously another WULIAO Singaporean
with too much time on her hands)

For crying out loud....what more do you want comfort to do??????They
have already terminated the cab driver's services and offered you a
$10 voucher....isn't that enough for you? In this time and age, when
people are hanging on to their jobs for dear life, you just caused the
cab driver to lose his! I'm not saying what he did was right - all I
am saying is be SATISFIED with what you got instead of demanding more!

疑酒后开车撞德士 汽车司机重伤入院

(2009-04-20)
 
  一名汽车司机疑酒后开车,超越前方的两辆车后,与德士相撞,导致德士司机及一名乘客受轻伤,而汽车司机自己则受重伤。

  这起车祸发生在昨天凌晨3时40分左右,地点在武吉知马路靠近甘榜爪哇路的路段。

  事发后,两车毁坏不堪,汽车司机(37岁)倒在驾驶盘,处于半昏迷状态,到场的救护人员见他伤势不轻,先以护套保护他的颈部,再慢慢地把他从驾座扶出来,以担架抬上救护车,连同德士司机(61岁)送入中央医院接受治疗。

  警方说,汽车司机的身上充满酒味,怀疑他醉酒开车,他目前正接受调查。

  警方吁请车祸目击者拨电1800-5471818与交警联络,协助调查。

三巴旺丛林腐尸案侦破
德士司机遭劫杀 警方逮捕一男子

(2009-04-21)

● 刘丽仪
  四天前在三巴旺路的丛林发现的腐尸,揭发了德士司机遭人劫杀的命案,警方经过连日来的追查后迅速破案,逮捕一名涉案男子。

  落网嫌犯是30多岁的华族男子,相信来自中国,预料明天将在谋杀罪名下被控上法庭。据悉,涉案歹徒可能不只一人。一般相信,死者和嫌犯并不认识,嫌犯的谋杀罪名若成立,将面对死刑。

  警方是在本月17日接获发现腐尸的通报后,赶到现场进行大规模搜寻,结果在丛林中找到尸体。

  经过详细调查后,警方确定死者是一名58岁的男性华族德士司机,已婚。死者的尸体被发现时,已经高度腐烂。

  据目击者说,上星期五傍晚6时许,四辆镇暴车和一辆警犬车在三巴旺公园附近的惹兰孟布隆路出现。

  接着,多名刑事侦查人员和超过20名警员牵着警犬,在该条路和惹兰士林曼附近的丛林,进行地毯式搜寻,前后长达15小时。整个搜索范围估计有四五个足球场那么大。

相信有三人
假装乘客登德士

  据悉,相信共有三名华族男子假装乘客,登上死者的德士,并在德士来到偏僻地点后展开抢劫行动。一般相信,死者应该是在其他地方被人谋害后,遭凶手运尸到三巴旺公园,再将尸体丢弃在偏僻丛林里。死者的德士也在案发地点附近寻获,凶器过后也一并寻获。

  据了解,死者尸体被发现前约一星期,死者就突然没有回家,也没有和家人联络。他的家人与他失去联络几天后,曾向警方报案。

Enforcement along Orchard Road and Closure of Chatsworth Road

Dear Cabbies

Enforcement along Orchard Road

We had been informed by Land Transport authority that taxis had been queuing beyond taxi stands along Orchard Road. Their Enforcement Officers had in the past few months been quite lenient on their enforcement action, taxis found queuing beyond taxi stand were advised to leave the queue but they had noted that the situation did not improve.

The Land Transport Authority had indicated that to ensure the smooth flow for buses along the bus lanes, they will start to issue Notice of Offence to taxi drivers who queue beyond the taxi stands along Orchard Road from 2 April 09 onwards.

We urge all cabbies to observe and abide by the rules when you queue along Orchard Road Taxi Stand, so that you will not be booked by Land Transport Authority Officer.

Closure of Chatsworth Road

This is to inform you that the taxi stand along Chatsworth Road outside the Indonesian Embassy will be closed from 8am to 3pm on 9 Apr 09 due to an event organised by the embassy.

Traffic along this road will also be expected to be slow road during the festivity and traffic wardens may be deployed to control the traffic situation. A temporary taxi stand will be set up further down the road close to the round-about leading to Chatsworth Ave during the closure of
the original taxi stand.

Thank you.
