曾在结霜桥摆摊 小贩到芽笼“跑地牛”遭取缔!

据《新明日报》报导,上周三(2日)晚上警方在芽笼16巷路口处,曾进行一次扫荡行动,取缔非法摆摊,至少4名摊贩、合共1千多元的货物被充公,血本无归之外,还得接过300元罚单! 被充公的包括鞋子、衣物、旧收音机、手机零件等旧货。一名56岁小贩透露,五年前失业后就无法找到正职,即使有领取援助金也不够开销,结果上月才冒险在芽笼摆摊。 而这名林姓小贩的旧货还是别人寄卖的,但现在全被充公了,还要欠别人500元。另一摊贩莫哈末纳威则透露,过去曾在结霜桥旧货市场摆摊,前天才过来芽笼这里,结果才摆了两晚就出事。 结霜桥旧货市场已有近80年历史,在2017年7月10日结业,过去是民众去“寻宝”,找一些得意古玩或珍稀用品的去处。 随着结霜桥旧货市场的结束,不少小贩也迁移他处,或是断了生计。有者被迫冒险“跑地牛”,当起非法摊贩。 但也有近20名摊贩,在餐馆老板The Peranakan创办人之一兼主厨邱垂文和义工组织Saturday Movement携手帮助下,在吉兰丹路第28座组屋楼下的两间店铺重新开业。 至于由本地导演陈碧云(音译,Tan Biyun)执导的独立电影《好公民》,也记录一对60多岁前结霜桥摊贩的际遇,掀开光线表面,揭示本地“贫困老人”的生活。

遭前女佣巴蒂提控 主控官找文达星大状辩护

10月23日,大法官梅达顺批准了前女佣巴蒂(Parti Liyani),向涉及检控其案件的两名主控官,发起纪律研讯。 被要求答辩的是两名署理检控官 (DPP)Tan Wee Hao和Tan Yanying。大法官认为,从表面证据显示,两名副检察官有误导法庭之嫌,使得巴蒂在法庭面对审讯时遭受不公对待。 据《海峡时报》报导,总检察署发言人证实,面对提控的上述两名主控官,Tan Yanying寻求本地知名大状文达星协助辩护,以及Tan Wee Hao寻求艾伦格禧律师事务所的Jason Chan高级律师辩护。…
