Reporters quiz Dr Chee Soon Juan on the issue of not wanting to bring up former Bukit Batok MP David Ong who vacated his seat in parliament and resigned from the PAP due to an alleged extramarital affair.
One reported asked if he had read the statement by PM Lee Hsien Loong and proceeded to give Dr Chee a rundown of that statement, referring to how PM Lee said Dr Chee was hypocritical to claim that he would not kick a man when he is down but allow for other party members to talk about David Ong. Dr Chee replied that he did not want to comment until he has read the statement himself and understood the context of what was said.

Another reporter posed the question of whether Dr Chee found it hypocritical to have other speakers at the SDP rally mention David Ong even though Dr Chee had said previously that he did not wish to bring up the issue of why David Ong had to vacate his seat in parliament. Dr Chee replied that he had no intention of bringing up the matter and that he will speak to his party members to put a stop to it if necessary. Dr Chee replied that he wants to move away from that issue and contest on issues that matter to the well-being of the residents.
The reporter followed up to clarify whether the speakers at the rally were acting under his instructions or not. Dr Chee replied that he has yet to see the reports on what was said by others during the rally and thus could not comment directly. He pointed out that the team had immediately started with their rounds in Bukit Batok early in the morning and thus he had not been able to look through these reports. He assured that he will look into it.
Another reporter then asked whether he was aware of what other speakers at the rally were going to talk about. However, he replied again that he wanted to keep the issue off the table and specifically pointed out that as the candidate, this was his position on that matter. When asked again if he was normally aware of what speakers at his rallies are going to say, he replied that he did not know what was said and that he will have to look at the reports first before commenting.

打脸前总裁郭木财 梁建鸿:SMRT没“企业文化问题”

在今年八月接任的SMRT集团首席执行员梁建鸿,声称该公司并没有如前总裁郭木财所说,拥有“根深蒂固的企业文化问题”。 梁建鸿在今日下午在金泉车厂与媒体会面,分享他在过去三个月,对SMRT的整体观察。自上月以来沉寂至今的梁建鸿,也透露该公司新动态和长远方针。 去年底,在相继发生地铁隧道积水和地铁碰撞两起严重事故后,郭木财曾说,SMRT存在着“根深蒂固的企业文化问题”,引致人为失误。 梁建鸿称“我不同意上述说辞,根据我接触公司基层的经验,并没有这种感受,我们的员工愿意把工作做好。” 他以军中经验指出,没有弱兵,只有差劲的领袖。拥有了解基层和良好的领导能力,能确保下属有所表现。 “只有差劲领导者” 言下之意,是“强将手下无弱兵”。没有带不好的兵,只有不会带兵的将领。 梁建鸿表示,SMRT接下来将把重心放在地铁业务,地铁团队将完全专注于每日的列车运作,确保提供安全且可靠的服务。 他补充,为了进一步加强地铁可靠度,SMRT集团将进行重组,五个主要团队将以地铁为首。公司也将成立新的工程团队,以建立更强大的工程能力,应付不断扩大的地铁网络需求。 原有的商务团队将改名为体验团队,重新思考零售空间等规划,增进乘客经验。公路团队包含公司的巴士和德士业务,将辅助地铁服务,提供重要的连接性。企业服务团队则会为所有团队提供共享服务。 郭木财曾表示,SMRT许多重大失误都是人为的。 梁建鸿曾听命于郭木财…

挪威发生严重土石崩落 八栋房瞬间被“扫”入海

挪威芬马克郡阿尔塔(Alta)市发生严重的土石崩落事件,山崖边的八栋房屋遭土石流“席卷”入海中,在北极洋上浮沉,所幸无任何伤亡事件。 据Jan Egil Bakkeby所提供的视频中,只见八栋房子随着强大土石流在移动,被挤压后沉入海洋中,前后都不到两分钟。 据帖文指出,土石崩落事件于当地时间星期三发生。受土石流影响的面积宽达8000公尺,高132英尺,涉及八栋房子和一辆汽车。 据当地媒体报导指出,有一人在事发时遭紧急撤离,一只狗狗自行脱困,且有数次小规模的土崩在之后发生,附近在居民都被紧急疏散。 基于当时无法确定不会再发生土石崩塌等事故,救援当局曾停止工作,目前尚在调查事发原因。

不靠别人靠自己!八旬老人坚持每日开店谋生感动网友

虽然年过八旬,但老人仍秉持着不靠别人,用自己的双手过活,经营杂货店。 日前,有网友在脸书上发文吁请大家纷纷伸出援手,帮忙老人,不过据义工组织“Mummy Yummy”的贴文解释,老人实则不需要大家援助,但大家仍可前去探望他,或是买点东西“帮衬”老人家店铺的生意。 为了支持老人的生活,网友纷纷“出动”到老人店里购买货物。老人对于瞬间变成“网红”,也感到受宠若惊。 网友此前分享老人的照片,当时正孤坐在杂货店前,望向远方,而店铺两侧则大门深锁,看似相当可怜。 网友也指出,老人直到深夜都仍未收档,因此欲请网友出手相助。网友也在文末表示,尽管老人看似不富裕,但仍依靠自己的双手赚钱,并非选择用乞讨的方式。 帖文发出后,也立即引起网友的关注,不少网友留言心疼老人,年纪大了仍无法退休,也有网友佩服老人迄今仍依靠自己的双手赚钱。该帖文也获得逾2万次转载。 据《8视界》报导,老人姓黄,于1976年开始在861号桥北路巴刹和熟食中心的杂货店做生意,每天早上6点多开档,下午约3、4点才慢慢收档,风雨不改。 至于他的家庭,他也表示,自己并没有孩子,妻子也在十多年前过世,如今和一名老友合租一间一房式的租凭租屋同住。 针对店旁两侧的店铺,黄老先生也解释因为照片的缘故,让网友纷纷觉得店铺两侧的商店已倒闭,但其实不然。 “其实没有啦,我右边这个店是卖咖啡粉的,下午才开档;左边这些店上午就收档了,就变成好像只有我一家店在开门做生意。” 黄老先生也说,虽然自己的生意并没有因为照片流传而大幅增加,但在这一两天内,确实有很多人到访,不仅在买东西时没有讨价还价,反而给了他很多钱。…
