The motorcyclist and his pillion rider, both 24, were arrested and referred to the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB). It said that investigations are ongoing.

The Misuse of Drugs Act provides for the death penalty if the amount of methamphetamine trafficked exceeds 250g. 250g of methamphetamine is sufficient to feed the addiction of about 185 abusers for a week.

强制国民加入终身护保计划 网民抗议政府独断不为人设想

《终身护保和长期护理法案》于9月2日在国会通过,1980年或之后出生的国人必须在明年开始强制支付有关保单,这让网民表示难以接受,因为政府并没有征询国民的意见,也质疑政府如有能力负担得起国际生奖助学金,也理应能承担国民保险的赔付额。 终身护保计划(CareShield Life)每年保费分别为男性260元和女性253元,并且必须投保至67岁。若投保者遭受严重残疾,凡是需要护理,将会在每月获得至少600元的赔偿。 有民众反映每月600元赔付根本不足,卫生部长颜金勇表示,长期护理是共同责任,民众也可购买其他私人保单作为补足。 乐龄健保索赔,仅占总保费四巴仙 强制性加入终身护保计划旨在逐步取代人们可选择投保的乐龄健保(ElderShield),并且保护国人在面对严重残疾时,仍有一些生活费。乐龄健保于2002年开始实施,让面临严重残疾者可在5至6年期间,每月获得400元。 去年媒体报导曾指出,130万公民参与乐龄健保,缴纳超过33亿元保费,但是至今只支付了1亿3300万元的索赔,仅占所收保费的四巴仙,可能还剩下约32亿元和基金所获利息。 对此,网民表示难以了解,为何需要强制国民投保终身护保计划。 有者则质疑在乐龄健保的大笔收入资金,但是只要微薄的支出,而且想知道终身护保计划是否也会有类似做法,从国人处收取大笔资金并赚取利息,却仅对真正有需要者支付微薄的索赔。 负担得起国际生奖助学金,却不能承担国民索赔? 有一名网友特别指出,新加坡政府有能力为外国学生,每年提供提供约2亿3800万元的奖学金和学费津贴。但是,却无力为民承担约1亿3300万元的乐龄健保索赔?“总感觉哪里不对。” 其实在上个月(8月5日)工人党非选区议员贝理安(Leon…

购买ofo全新脚车上市 Moov成我国第四活跃脚车共享业者

今年频频有脚车共享业者退出我国市场,那么他们遗留下来的脚车会做和处置呢?送到废铁厂? 自今年4月被取消执照后,中国共享脚车业者ofo的显眼黄色脚车,又会再次出现在我国街道上,不过这次使用不同名字。另外还有一万辆脚车作为“礼物”,被送出国了。 这些被存放在仓库的ofo单车,被初创共享脚车公司Moov Technology购买了,经过翻新后,在上周重新被推出。 该公司于4月份获得“沙盒”执照,可以经营1000辆脚车,因此人们能够在新加坡西部如文礼和先驱看到这些脚车。 自ofo未能满足监管条件而被撤销执照后,Moov是首家进入本地市场的公司。 该中国业者是因未能通过由陆路交通管理局(LTA)添置的新条规,即在指定停放区设置QR码扫描系统,且尽管陆交局多次发出警告,ofo业者仍未能将其脚车车队减少到规定的最大规模,即一万架,才遭当局勒令关闭在新加坡的业务。 环保且响应经济效应 Moov首席执行官Sharon Meng对《海峡时报》说,他们购买了ofo未曾使用的脚车,并将其调整到Moov的系统中,这样不仅环保,也有经济效益。 “今年早些时候,我们了解到有很多全新的脚车,完全没有被使用过,但是因为其他的脚车共享业者退出市场了,而被遗留在仓库中报废。我们相信在改善脚车共享领域中,首先就是要清理战场,并且充分利用全新的脚车。” 除此之外,该公司也宣布在今年年终之前推出自己的脚车,以帮助提高运营效率。…
