The Singapore Police Force had arrested a 34-year-old man suspected to be involved in a case of housebreaking and theft at a restaurant in Robertson Quay.

The Police said that it received a report that a restaurant in Robertson Quay was broken into and a painting as well as several bottles of liquor with a total value of about $828 were stolen on 28 May 2016 at about 3.30 pm.

Officers from Tanglin division then held extensive ground enquiries and investigations, which subsequently established the identity of the suspect. The suspect was detained at Woodlands Checkpoint and arrested on 22 September 2016 at about 4.00 pm, almost four months after the incident.

The Police stated that the suspect will be charged in the State Courts on 24 September 2016 with an offence of Housebreaking and Theft by Night under Section 457 of the Penal Code, Chapter 224, which is punishable with imprisonment for a term which may extend to 14 years.

The Police advised all property owners to adopt the following crime prevention measures:

  • Secure all doors, roller shutters, windows and other openings with good quality grills and close-shackled padlocks when leaving your shop unattended, even for a short while;
  • Refrain from keeping large sums of cash in commercial premises; and
  • Install a burglar alarm and CCTVs, to cover the access points into your premises. Ensure that they are tested periodically and in good working condition.

中国籍工作证持有者转让计划 工商总会:雇主反应踊跃

新加坡工商联合总会指出,截至目前为止,已有逾百人询问有关转让工作证持有者的服务详情。 人力部于上周宣布,自今天(3月2日)开始,为期六个月的转型计划,允许制造业和服务业商家聘请已在本地,持有工作准证的中国人。 这两个领域之前只能在持有工作准证的中国人离开我国后,才能重新聘请。 工商总会执行长何明杰指出,“至目前为止的市场反应,充分显示了在相关行业需要采取这种临时措施的必要性”。 有兴趣的企业必须和工商总会联系,以获取诸如员工技能或告知所需要的员工类型等咨询。 他表示,当局将在五天内对申请的一方做出回应。 现有员工的咨询将整理后存入数据库中,然后和有兴趣的雇主们共享。相关雇主则需要直接和员工的现任雇主取得联系,以便获得后者的转让同意。 一旦双方达成协议,工商总会就会负责通知人力部,而雇佣公司可以向该部门提交工作准证的申请。 希望聘请或转让持有工作证华籍员工的雇主,可以上网([email protected])和工商总会取得联系,而有关的服务在首个月是免费的,之后可能会征收象征性的费用。
