Local News

Singapore activist Jolovan Wham has been found guilty of organising a public assembly without permit and refusing to sign a police document. He was charged for involving Hong Kong activist Joshua Wong in a forum over a Skype call. 

The news has made Singapore the centre of attention. In a Facebook post, Wong responded that he cannot understand why the Singapore government has to be so restrictive towards its citizens. He said that the forum was held indoors and not in public, which according to him, is not enough a reason to charge Wham for. 

He thinks that Singapore will only continue to restrict people's freedom and called for everyone to persevere and not back down even in the face of legal challenges.

Jolovan Wham's sentencing will be on 23 Jan. 

Congratulations to us for being in the limelight again. For all the wrong reasons. 

On an Instagram video posted on Instagram profile dropneasg, a Food Panda delivery man (FPDM) was being told off by an uncle (unseen in the video). The uncle repeatedly told him the law of not smoking under sheltered walkways or void decks and that he should smoke else where or else he can be charged. FPDM however said he didn't want to and that he will finish up his cigg. He also claims that the uncle can't do anything to him as he's not a NEA officer. 

Uncle sounded agitated and asked for his ic to report him to NEA. However FPDM refused to give it to him as the uncle has no right to take his ic by law. The video ended abruptly after the uncle asked FPDM to not move while he calls NEA.

Who do you think is in the wrong here? Was the uncle being a busybody or was FPDM in the wrong for smoking at a void deck? What are your thoughts?

Singapore will have moved one step closer into a movie like future when air taxi trials are set to take off in the second half of this year. German company Volocopter will be tasked to run the tests, which they themselves announced at the Autonomy and the Urban Mobility Summit in Paris back in October 2018.

The air taxis, to be called Volocopters, are electrically powered aircraft that can take off and land vertically, and can fly 2 people at a distance of 30km or less. The Volocopters can also be flown either by a pilot using a joystick, or controlled fully form the ground. The craft looks like helicopters, but they are based on drone technology. The tests are used t determine if the Volocopters can operate in Singapore's urban environment. The MOT, EDB and CAAS are all part of the project.

The tests are to be conducted to see if the air taxi are suitable in Singapore's environment, and to also test out locations where this service is practical. The tests are to be conducted in a controlled location, which MOT said it will announce in due course. Now, all we have to do is to wait to see if air taxis can really take off in Singapore. 

A Toyota driver was caught on camera of purposely braking his vehicle suddenly to cause the fall of a biker behind him. The driver then claimed ignorance of the accident, and drove off without offering any help to the stricken biker.

The accident happened at Tampines Avenue 2 on Tuesday afternoon, and left the biker with injuries to his neck, spine and hip, and also suffered from high fever and vomiting. The conflict first arose when the Toyota driver accused the driver of being slow. The biker later confronted the the driver, and they continued hurling insults at each other. The driver then drove off when the traffic light was in his favour, with the biker behind him. This was when the the Toyota driver suddenly stopped his car, causing the biker to hit the back of the car and fall off his bite. 

The driver than left the scene when other motorists stop to help. Police confirmed they have been alerted to the case, and are currently investigating the case

Recently a lot of fighting in Singapore hor?

What would you do if you receive news of a pet boarding house lost your beloved pet? That's what happened to one Elaine Mao. Mao cut her holiday short and flew all the way back to Singapore just to get her dog back. The owner of the dog boarding house, Platinum Dogs Club, basically ignored Mao even when she knelt down beside her for some simple information. The owner also allegedly knocked down a 40 year old man with her car when he was with Mao at the time. The man was taken to a hospital after.

This is not the first case with Platinum Dogs Club. Previous incidents include the dogs being mistreated and not groomed. Dogs all returned to their owners with skin problems due to dirty living conditions. One Jack Russel even lost it's life after a stay there. A raid on the boarding house was held on 29 December 2018 by the police, AVA and SPCA.

You can watch the video of how the owner ignored Mao here:

And here's how you can contact the owners if you have any information regarding her dogs:

Background of the case:
Day -2, I inspected this place with Prince together. It was clean and fully airconed, just a bit pee on the pad, a fe w poop outside in the yard that she said she would do after our meeting. She showed us the private room which Prince will be checked in and told us the dog (the tall and skinny female shown in the newspaper) is checking out on 16th before Prince checking in. I paid her in full $945 for Prince stay.
Day -1, Prince had his full checkup, vaccines. We found that he has joint issue due to aging and brought home supplements and start planning rehabilitation treatment for him upon our return. 
Day 0, Prince checked in. 
Day 1, I asked for video, didn’t receive
Day 2, video received around 6am with bright daylight 
Day 3-6 no news/ photo/ video at all
Day 7: video received around 9:30pm still with bright daylight 
Day 8-13: 
Day 14: around 2-4pm, AVA raid the place 
Day 15: at about 1:30-2pm, Charlotte Liew text me that Prince went missing because AVA broke into her house illegally, AVA let the gate open while they were in operation and one aggressive big dog and my Prince ran out through the gate. She told me to file police report against AVA and complain. She admitted that no one was at the house when AVA were there, which is not as she promised “24x7, on 2-3 shifts with staff”
I quickly posted on FB asking for help to find Prince and sent friends down to talk to her to get more info
Friends went down, she was not there, dogs are barking inside. 
AVA and I got connected, I was told Prince wasn’t there when they entered. Not even one Shetland sheepdog had been
I changed our flights back as the earliest available on the next day
Day 16: we flew back and landed midnight and filed police report at airport
2am, we rushed to PDC from airport but she ran away 10min before we could arrive. We had Friend who were helping us got harassed you her while she called police and claiming she was harassed. Police tried to ask her to stay or answer to my calls (i was calling her, trying to get help and info on how Prince was and where possible he had gone). However, she declined and ignored all my calls and ran away knowing that I am on the way to meet her. As it’s not criminal case, police could not force her and gave us legal advice. Charlotte
Liew, as mentioned in my WhatsApp, we don’t want to do any harm to you, we just want our Prince back and understand how you treated him and what his status was when he has gone missing.
Without any hope of she appear to us, we left and start search and put down clothes stripes and food for prince around the spotted area, talked to the security Guards, runners, people at Coffeeshop. It was too heartbreaking that I tried all types of calling, but just can’t see my Prince running back to me with his smile. I had a few times of breakdown but with the great support from the search group and everyone, I stay strong. I have to be strong to get my Prince back, he is frightened and he is waiting for me to bring him home 
Day 17: we printed more posters, made plans and tasks with search group and victims group. We continued our search and calling Charlotte Liew.
Prince was spotted at Bukit Gombak Stadium at about 5pm, and then Coronation Park at 11plus, but still wasn’t found after few rounds of searching in those areas. We left posters around hoping people can find him and call us.
Day 18: still no news from Charlotte Liew, but we will continue with our search and focus on Prince, call for more help!!!

If anyone recently purchased a Sheltie like this, please let me know, I'll pay you whatever you have paid for Prince. I just cannot lose him. He means more than anything to me.

DogHotel is at 7 galistan avenue 669693

Prince has been licensed for next 3 years, with a name tag on his neck. He has also microchip in him. He is a male, tri-color, pure breed Shetland sheepdog.

Prince has never been out without us and hence doesn’t know at all how to deal with traffic. He responds to his name and he knows how to go back home (regent residences on 1091 Serangoon Road)
Please help us to find him, appreciate very much!!
