breadtalk 2After complaints that bakery BreadTalk had repackaged its soya bean milk drink and sold them as “freshly prepared”, another complaint has been posted online – this time about the bakery using its competitor’s products as its own.

“Saw the staff take out a Bengawan Solo box,” a Facebook user, who only want to be known as “Lim”, posted online on Facebook, referring to the other popular bakery. “As i was wondering why there was a box from their competitor, the staff proceeded to take out the kueh lapis cake and starting spreading frosting over it.”

“Not only does Breadtalk take Yeo’s soyabean and repackage it as their own, they also repackage other’s bakes as their own,” Lim said. “Just apply ur [sic] own frosting and decoration over the cake and sell it as ur product? Not entirely appropriate right, cos i might think the cake is nice and since i bought it from Breadtalk, it should be baked by breadtalk, not bengawan solo.”

Lim’s complaint follows that of a person named “Kev” on Monday, who posted a photograph showing a BreadTalk employee filling up plastic bottles with Yeo’s brand soya bean milk which were then labelled “freshly prepared”.

“This ‘freshly prepared’ soya bean milk from BreadTalk always tasted very familiar, but somehow I couldn’t figure out why until now. You see for yourself why,” he said. “This BreadTalk staff is just pouring Yeo’s soya bean milk into bottles of ‘freshly prepared’ soya bean sold by BreadTalk.”

The bakery clarified and apologised for the incident on its Facebook page later.

“We have heard our customers’ feedback about our bottled soya bean milk,” the bakery said. “We would like to apologise for any misaligned presentation or wrong impressions created, and clarify that it is never our intention to mislead.”

A spokesman told the press that the bakery will resume selling the drink out of labelled drink dispensers instead “to prevent misunderstanding.”

“As a global bakery chain, we source for quality ingredients and products from established and reputable third party suppliers around the world, including from renowned local brands to enrich the variety of products sold at our stores,” BreadTalk said.

男子垃圾屋中猝死 要抬出尸体先搬出垃圾

男子疑在家中厨房猝死,但是因为垃圾堆满屋内,甚至高达天花板,以致尸体发出异味才被发现。而查案人员为了将尸体抬出来,必须先“挪动”将近10余辆推车的垃圾到屋外后,才成功抬出尸体。 此事件于上周六(9月28日)晚上9时17分发生在勿洛北1道,第519座组屋12楼的一个单位内。 据邻居指出,该单位内住着一名68岁的男子,每周都会搬垃圾回家,而市镇会每周也会派人来打理。“但是在两周前开始就没有看到他,也没有看到他的门外有垃圾堆,就觉得很奇怪。” 该报警的邻居表示,他于27日就闻到该单位内传出异味,且越来越浓,周围邻居都有同感,因此在当晚就报警了。 搬出逾十垃圾回收箱杂物 另一名邻居表示,隔天(28日)就看到民防部队抵达该单位,强行撬开大门后却不进屋,原来是因为屋内的垃圾过多,堆到门口且高至天花板,让人无法入屋。 警方人员和民防部队都站在单位外等候,不久后就见市镇会的清洁员工出现,开始垃圾清理工作。 经过两个小时后,清洁员工自单位内搬出超过十个垃圾回收箱的杂物,其中包括有塑料袋、塑料盒、纸皮箱和各类被废弃的家具。 警方和民防部队之后进到屋内展开调查,并且抬出尸体。 警方随后证实死者为一名68岁男子,倒卧在单位内,被发现后经救护人员证实已死亡,警方将此案列为非自然死亡案件,目前已经展开调查。 据邻居指出,死者生前时糖尿病和高血压患者,于一年前突然暴瘦,但是对于死因都表示不清楚。 回溯今年5月,在淡滨尼12街第157座组屋一个单位发生火患,屋内堆满杂物,外号“黑人”的60岁拾荒叔受困其中,因吸入热气,遭浓烟呛死在厕所内。

祖母外出工作被单独留家中 三岁男自七楼坠下丧命

一时大意可能酿成一辈子的遗憾,祖母因叫不醒三岁男孙而决定独自外出工作,岂知男孙醒后找不到祖母,却不慎坠楼身亡。 此悲剧于昨早(18日)在宏茂桥1道第332座组屋发生。 警方接受《今日报》询问时指出,他们于早上6时40分接获投报,指一名三岁男孩被发现一动不动地躺在组屋底层。 民防部队急救人员抵达现场,检查后宣布男童当场死亡。 据悉,男童是和当地的祖父母同住,平常有女佣照顾,一直到女佣在两个月离职后才由祖母照顾。祖母是在附近咖啡店当收银员,在负责照顾男童后,每天清晨5时许就会带着男童一起到工作地点。 但是昨日,祖母要前往工作时,叫不醒熟睡的男童,于是独自去工作。相信男童醒后找不到祖母,于是爬到窗口往下看,却不慎自七楼掉下,当场身亡。 据咖啡店主管指出,作为收银员的祖母于当天早上7时许接获一通电话后就匆匆回家了,估计当时已经出事了。 据她所知,当祖母回到家找不到男童,望出窗外才发现男童已经卧尸组屋楼下了。 她表示,祖母曾向她透露,出门前已经关好了窗口,却没想到男童会推开窗口,酿成此悲剧。 邻居指出,事发前曾听过隔壁屋内传来男童的哭声,就猜测当时男童应该是发现家中没人,感到害怕而哭。 警方已经将此案列为非自然死亡案件处理。

适当时候将阐述政府意见 内政部审视“刻意无视”概念

内政部(MHA)将检讨有关“刻意无视”(wilful blindness)法律概念的不同意见。今年5月,上诉庭对一名因不知自己运毒,而被判死刑的尼日利亚男子进行翻案时,“刻意无视”让该男子得以无罪释放起到关键作用。 上诉庭于5月27日,在针对尼日利亚男子阿迪里(Adili Chibuike Ejike)的案件中指出,控方未能确定男子是否知道行李中藏着1.96公斤甲基安非他命(Methamphetamine,俗称冰毒),是他刻意为之。 阿迪里是于2011年11月,在樟宜机场被逮捕。当局在他被儿时玩伴委托的行李箱的内衬中,搜出两包病毒。他的儿时玩伴要求他将行李交给新加坡的其他人。 内政部高级政务次长安宁阿敏在周一的国会中指出,上诉庭对“刻意无视”提出了其他意见,“我们正在仔细审视这些意见,并且会在适当时候阐述政府的意见,以及决定是否有需要进行法例修订” 。 透过推测来肯定嫌犯违法 他在回应荷兰- 武吉知马集选区议员迪舒沙(Christopher De…
