In videos circulating on social media, a green SBS Transit bus is seen crashing into a lorry bearing the company name Lim Kim Huat Building Construction. The force drives both vehicles across the junction and the lorry hits a car that has stopped for the red light.

It was reported in the media last Thursday (16 Jan) that 2 passengers were taken to hospital after a road accident involving an SBS Transit bus, lorry and car at the junction of Braddell Road and Bishan Road.

The 2 passengers, one traveling on the lorry and another on the bus, were taken to Tan Tock Seng Hospital. The other bus passengers were evacuated and the bus was taken off service.

The lorry and the bus collided first, which pushed the lorry to the opposite side of the road, causing it to hit the stationary car which was waiting at the traffic light.

The car driver, who was unharmed, said, “It happened too quickly that I had no time to react… I am just lucky that I am okay.”

Confirming the accident, a spokesperson from SBS Transit said that its Service 93 bus was “traveling straight along Braddell Road when a lorry suddenly cut into its lane perpendicularly”.

The lorry driver, a 23-year-old Indian national, was arrested by the police on the spot for dangerous driving.

He told the reporter that he has been in Singapore for 1.5 years and has just obtained his Singapore driving licence three months ago. He has been driving for about 20 days. It was reported that he works for Lim Kim Huat Building Construction.

Popular blogger Philip Ang commented on his blog, “Businesses must be getting pretty desperate, trying to cut costs but unable to find an experienced driver from India’s 1.4 billion population.”

议员国会重提组屋养猫议题 何晶隔空呛:狗能关家里,猫会串门子

组屋养宠物课题再次在国会中被提起,义顺集选区议员黄国光,曾要求允许在政府组屋住户养猫,然而总理夫人何晶却似乎认为,禁止养猫是理所当然的,让国民对此感到哭笑不得。 黄国光于周三(3月4日)在国会上,谈及组屋禁止养猫的课题时,表示该条例不可理喻。“既然公寓居民能够饲养猫咪当宠物,没道理组屋居民不行。” 黄国光指有办法管理 他指出,一些公寓单位甚至比组屋单位来的小,而且有些组屋允许居民养狗,甚至是体型较大的狗狗,为何要禁止饲养一只小猫咪。“这真的没道理。” 黄国光指出,有居民投诉,猫咪会随意“串门”和制造噪音,他认为组屋当局和居民可以合作,采取简单的防范措施,包括为宠物猫做结扎等。 他更表示自己手上持有“第一手防范措施资料”,希望国家发展部能够参考后,放行居民饲养猫咪。 内政部兼国家发展部高级政务次长孙雪玲回答表示,对于爱宠物和不欢迎宠物的两派居民,当局正致力和他们沟通;建屋局将和国家公园局合作,以商讨出更全面和平衡地重检和拟出新的宠物相关政策。 何晶:狗狗能关家中 总理夫人何晶对于黄国光的发言,也在脸书上贴文做出回应,只是她似乎不太赞成组屋养猫咪。 对于黄国光指组屋能够养狗却不给养猫,何晶在帖文中写到,“因为我们可以把狗放在屋子内,但是猫咪会闯进别人的家啊!”。 网民:主人责任心是关键 有关帖文迅速获得网民回应,有人赞成也有人反对。…
