被指企图抢劫 中国富家子无罪释放
（2009-10-28 4.30pm）
（新加坡讯）上星期被控企图抢劫德士司机，导致德士冲上路堤再撞店屋前柱子的中国男子，今天已获判无罪释放。
联合晚报报道，这名27岁的男子周孙福，来自中国福建省，据他的女友吴丽君透露，他在中国是房地产公司老板，而他的母亲是经营酒店业务，家境富裕。
本案在今天提堂时，控方要求法庭撤销被告的罪状，因此，法庭即刻宣判被告无罪释放。
今早，吴丽君与周孙福的母亲陈女士以及好几个亲友，都到法庭旁听，他们在知道周孙福获无罪释放后，深感庆幸。女友吴丽君说，这证明周孙福是清白的，而他们对发生这样的事深感不解，因此将与律师商量该如何处理此事。
已撤销的控状指出，被告是在19日凌晨5时25分，于沈氏道靠近芽笼29巷的路段，在一辆行驶中的德士内，企图抢劫德士司机李启俊（61岁）的财物。
案件发生时，德士冲上路堤的巴士站，再撞上店屋前的柱子，德士毁坏，以致李启俊和被告困在德士里动弹不得。

Whose fault? PRC on social visit pass acquitted of robbery charge
October 28, 2009 by admin
From our Correspondent
PRC national Zhou Sunfu who was charged last week for trying to rob a cabby was cleared afther the charge was dropped. He arrived in Singapore on a social visit pass.
The cabby, 61-year-old Robert Lee Khee Choon was warded in hospital after his taxi crashed into a pillar in front of a shophouse.
Zhou was given a discharge amounting to an acquittal on the application of the prosecution. No reasons were given for the discharge.
There were few other details in the report carried by the state media. Neither was the cabby interviewed to find out what exactly happened.
Did Zhou attempt to rob Mr Robert Lee at all? Or was he acquitted due to lack of concrete evidence?
If Zhou had never tried to rob Mr Robert Lee, then the latter must have made a false police report and should be charged in court. However, there was no mention of it.
There must be prima facie evidence to charge Zhou in court in the first place. What did the police investigations reveal?
The abrupt acquittal of Zhou seemed to give the impression that there were lapses somewhere along the chain of investigation. Did the police or prosecution miss out anything?
It is ironical that a PRC suspected of committing a crime in Singapore is given an unconditional discharge by the prosecution while Singapore citizens acquitted of wrong-doing by the court were not so lucky.
Two weeks ago, 5 Singaporeans are acquitted on charges of “illegal procession” for walking in a group from one point to another in public. (read more here)
The Attorney-General Chambers has since filed an appeal against their acquittal and sought to convict them for a “crime” which amounts to a maximum fine of $1,000.

Thanks, honest cabby
Thanks, honest cabby
I AM writing to compliment a CityCab taxi driver for returning a
cellphone I left in the back seat of his taxi (SHB 4517U) last Tuesday
at 8am.
When I realised I had left my phone in the cab, I called my number and
moments later, Mr Loh Kem Sem answered and volunteered to come to my
workplace with my phone. In fact, he left his name, contact number and
my phone with the security guard, without expecting anything from me
in return.
I wish to compliment him on his honesty and express my appreciation
for what he has done.

Cabby who put service before durians
Cabby who put service before durians
I WOULD like to compliment Mr Michael Tay of Smart Taxis.
Last Friday, I was stranded at Bangkit Road. Even though it was 8.45pm
and past peak hour, a lot of empty cabs just whizzed by, presumably
because they saw I had two plastic bags that were full. In reality,
most realised I was carrying durians.
My bags were torn and I needed a ride urgently, but unlike 10 drivers
who just whizzed by nonchalantly, only Mr Tay was gallant enough to
stop and ferry me and my durians.
Mr Tay said with a genuine smile that it was okay to ferry me and my
pungent fruit, as he could wind down the windows. He even allowed me
to place the thorny fruit on his leather seats.
Such a wonderful and considerate act begets the same kind of treatment
and I was happy to give him one of my durians. Kudos to Mr Tay, driver
of SHB 9093S Mercedes cab.
