Local Chinese newspaper, Shin Min Daily News reported that an elderly security guard died from his injuries from trying to stop a man from urinating at a shopping centre stairwell, following a month of hospitalisation.

The urinating incident is reported to have happened at 11.47pm on 18 November 2014 at Fajar Shopping Centre in Bukit Panjang. The guard, known as Mr Zhou Zhu Qian, 74 tried to stop the man who is suspected to be drunk.

When confronted, the man punched Mr Zhou, who fell to the ground, sustained head injuries. It is also reported that the man who punched Mr Zhou down was the person who called the police and waited for them to arrive. 

Mr Zhou was rushed to the National University Hospital after officers from the Singapore Civil Defence Force arrived. It was reported that Mr Zhou fell into a coma while he was in hospital.

Mr Zhou, a security guard with 20 years of experience in the line of security, was on night shift duty at the shopping centre, while the perpetrator, 51 worked at a food stall.
Another guard, aged 60, at the shopping mall told reporters that Mr Zhou had only been working there for a month before the incident, and on the night of the incident they had received a complaint from a member of the public that a drunk man was urinating at the first floor stairwell.

A police spokesperson confirmed that Mr Zhou was conveyed to hospital on 18 November and that he passed away on 22 December. Police also revealed that the perpetrator was detained on 18 December and was charged in court on 20 December.
The food stall worker has already been charged with one charge of causing grievous injury but as the victim has passed away due to his injuries, it is believed that the charge will be amended.

民调指逾半数国人若失业 储蓄恐不足支撑半年以上

调查指出,许多新加坡人若在此时失去工作,目前的储蓄不足以应付半年以上的生活。 华侨银行(OCBC)于阻断措施期间,针对1000名年龄介于21岁至65岁之间的在职国人和永久公民进行调查,调查显示,他们目前的储蓄,不足以应付至少半年以上的生活。 逾半数以上的受访者表示,他们目前正经历减薪,被强制规定无薪假其或佣金收入减少。其中只有大约18巴仙的储蓄足够支付最多一个月的费用。而大约35%的受访者打算或已经从事第二份工作。 约20巴仙的受访者表示,其储蓄也因此受到影响,下降幅度高达20巴仙,而另有20巴仙的人则维持在储蓄水平。 其次,受访者也认为,退休计划也会受其影响。40至54岁的人群中,其中三分之一的人表示,必须削减退休储蓄;而20岁以上已有财务计划的人,其中23巴仙的人则认为已经为退休留了更多的资金。 除了退休和储蓄受到影响,许多投资计划也出现缩减的现象。调查发现,五分之二的受访者表示正计划缩减自身的投资;16巴仙的人则表示,将削减20巴仙以上的投资。 询及是否担心未来的前景,约55巴仙的人忧虑自己的收入和工作状况,而38巴仙的人则担心会在未来失去稳定的收入,35巴仙的人则表示将持续忧虑自己的工作状况直至今年年尾。 华侨银行财富管理新加坡部总经理陈秀丽表示,尽管在疫情当下严重打击了国人的储蓄和退休计划,但也必须相信疫情总会过去,然而令人欣慰的是,部分国人正在作出正确的选择,持续透过继续储蓄、谨慎消费和根据各项进行稳健投资,增强其财务状况。
