I’m shocked that these words can come from a former Brigadier-General of the Singapore Armed Forces, the current Prime Minister of Singapore!

“If we make it (NS and Reservist for PR) a requirement, we would not get the people we wanted. Secondly, if they did serve NS at 30, 40 and 50 years old. I would not like to be their platoon commander.”

I do not know the context at which such stupid statement came from a statesman but to belittle the contributions and sacrifices of thousands of NSmen who serves till 40 is appallingly sick! It is so sad to know that Singapore citizens who recite the Singapore Aspiration (Pledge?) are lesser mortals in Singapore than PRs who spice up the lives of elite Singaporeans!

香港众志秘书长黄之锋被拘捕,押往湾仔警署总部

香港众志秘书长黄之锋于今日(30)早上7点半左右被警方逮捕。 据香港众志脸书今日发表文告,黄之峰今早7点半左右在前往海怡半岛地铁站途中,在众目睽睽下突然被推上私家车,如今已押往湾仔警署总部。 据闻警方已有三项罪名拘捕,已有律师前往现场支援。 继黄之峰被捕,另名成员周庭亦在家被捕,同样是押往湾仔警署总部。据悉,黄之峰与周庭涉及621包围警察给总部一事而被捕。 《香港01》报道,警方共以3项罪名拘捕黄之锋,分别是涉嫌“煽惑他人参与未经批准的集结”、“组织未经批准的集结”及“明知而参与未经批准的集结”;周庭则被控涉嫌“煽惑他人参与未经批准的集结”及“明知而参与未经批准的集结”。 2016年4月10日,黄之锋与香港专上学生联会前秘书长罗冠聪等人成立香港众志。 众志提出“自发、自主、自决、自立”四大主张作为党纲,以“民主自决”为最高纲领。 黄之峰曾因占旺刑事藐视法庭一案入狱,6 月中刑满获释,获释翌日立即加入反送中运动。6月21日当日,大批示威者转到警总外聚集,香港众志黄之锋、周庭等亦在场。 黄之锋在警总外使用大声公,要求撤回612 “暴动”定性,并要求警务处处长芦苇聪回应示威者的诉求。 他在警署外逗留至晚间,呼吁示威者在晚上11点半前决定去留。

与脚踏车碰撞 罗厘阿叔被控“鲁莽行为”打算抗辩

因涉与脚踏车碰撞,罗厘司机张胜仲面对一项因疏忽行为危害他人生命安危的控状。但目前控方有意将他所面对的控状,从“疏忽行为”提升至“鲁莽行为” ,并要求至少两周监禁。 “升级”的控状指58岁的张胜仲行为鲁莽,罗厘突然左转撂倒脚踏车骑士Eric Cheung。 去年12月24日,张胜仲驾驶罗厘开车前往樟宜尾。在巴西立第3通道附近,眼见前方两辆脚踏车一左一右并行,其中一辆挡在马路中央,于是他鸣笛一声,希望对方让路,但脚车司机毫无反应,只是到交通灯前回头看了他一眼。 而后脚踏车骑士疑不满被鸣笛,出手打落罗厘的左侧镜,此举可能令张胜仲受到惊吓,以为自己撞到右边德士,本能地往左边避开,但也因此撂倒脚踏车骑士,后者倒在路边草坪上。 在《刑事法典》下,鲁莽驾驶危害他人生命安危的控状,罪成可面对最长一年监禁,或高达五千元罚款,或两者兼施。 张胜仲原本有意认罪,但基于控方将控状“升级”,而选择抗辩。
