轿车鲁莽换车道 送餐员疑被撞倒路上

  银色轿车鲁莽换车道,没顾及后方的其他道路使用者,结果一辆尾随在后骑电单车送餐员,连人带车倒在路上。 但令网民愤怒的是,轿车竟无视事故发生,继续行驶离开,让人看了都不禁问到,“有没有搞错?!”。 一段誌期9月13日、行车记录器所拍摄到的车祸经过短片在脸书流传,根据脸书群组SG Road Vigilante,有关意外发生在中央快速公路的一条分支路前。 网民纷纷炮轰“难以接受这样的驾驶方式”,指责银色轿车的驾驶者不应该连续越过两条车道、转回原来车道时,也应该让路给原路上道路使用者。 然而有些网民认为银色轿车并没有真正撞到电单车送餐员,是送餐员因闪避时紧急刹车而导致电单车打滑。 (短片源自脸书群组SG Road Vigilante)

【选举】选举局称竞选期未到 张挂海报布条归市镇会法管

本月23日,我国刚解散国会、宣布6月30日提名日,7月10日投票日。但本社通讯员却发现,23日晚就有行动党党旗出现在马林弯路旁。为此,民主党副主席陈两裕致函选举局,要求澄清。 不过,选举局昨日(27日)告知《今日报》,由于竞选期(即提名日至7月10日投票日期间)还未到,故此国会选举(选举广告)条例目前还未生效。 至于目前海报、布条的张挂,都属市镇会法的范畴。 至于选举竞选期间,张挂海报布条则需选举官的准证。 而根据《今日报》报导,志愿者称有关行动党党旗,仍在马林百列党分布的范围内。也指张挂党旗是配合国庆的一环,过去2、30年都这么做。
