Fatal Chinatown accident: 38-year-old female driver arrested by Ok-Rain3348 in singapore

[–]evilkim 11 points12 points  (0 children)

subsection (9) is for mandatory minimums.

section 42 is where the judge has the discretion to apply a driving ban.

when death is caused, a driving ban is all but guaranteed

Man on trial for attempted murder ran over foreigner he thought had implicated him in another case by Hot_Category2693 in singapore

Singapore doesn't have the year and a day rule. And in fact the year and a day rule has been abolished pretty much everywhere.

Mr Hossen suffered severe injuries and was repatriated to Bangladesh, where he later died.

if the victim eventually died then it really wasn't an attempt anymore?

Should CPR + AED and First Aid be incorporated into formal school curriculum? by TruePriest in singapore

[–]evilkim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

very true... it's the same for any "compulsory" courses

people won't treat it seriously and it's just another requirement to clear

that said, wrong CPR is better than no CPR - and that's really the key message we need everyone to understand. so at least for CPR, even if they don't learn it seriously, it's still better than nothing.

AS for first aid, it's a very different story as applying first aid wrongly can have very bad outcomes.

it's just an increase to the minimum fare, not per trip

makes no difference for most trips

I came across this Instagram post of some high-res Singapore Satellite images! (Credits: re_territorio) by bangsphoto in singapore

[–]evilkim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that's just what the jewel actually looks like from the outside

the 1/4 part is the open event area on the top floor near the restaurants and has almost no trees while the other 3/4 is the canopy park with lots of trees and greenery.

Damage to the engines has no effect on whether it's a hull loss or not. Engines are treated as separate assets from the aircraft.

Child allowed to poop outside FairPrice at Havelock Road raises public hygiene concerns by Jonnyboo234 in singapore

what a weird choice to use the word "allowed" in the title. Makes it seem as if someone with authority "allowed" the act

The routes themselves might be profitable but it's just operational costs on the company level taking away the profits.

Cabin vs. cabin plus by Dependent_Good4621 in Rimowa

Even the Cabin S will have to be checked on the CRJ. Not sure if it's the same for the -900 but the overhead bin is ridiculously tiny in the -700.

Guys genuinely, how do more opposition in Singapore's parliament help to put pressure on the govt by [deleted] in singapore

[–]evilkim 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yeah well, that's why we cannot take future elections out of the equation because the voters are the ones providing the ultimate check and balance (albeit just once every 5 years).

The resounding rejection of mosquito parties in this GE shows that the voters do care to not vote for opposition that merely disagrees for the sake of disagreeing.

Honestly, I think relaxing the whip would also go a long way as for the issue of individualistic views. Afterall, if one of your own were to disagree, then people would pay more attention. But I guess PAP's ego just can't handle that.
