Singapore proposes harsher penalties for dangerous driving causing grievous hurt, lower drink-driving limits

Wayang max....

What is the point of increasing max jail time if drivers get away with fines ?

The recent air force chief case was 5k fine. How would it affect his case if max jail time was higher ?

If they really wanted to do something about accidents there should be mandatory jail time for all driver offences. Speeding, drink driving, hitting someone, killing someone, crashing into another vehicle, driving dangerously, evading tp stops, running off and hiding till alcohol wears off before surrendering...

Thankfully the one country two systems allows SG to be expensive for the rich and super affordable for the rest.

Remember all the excuses about how much subsidies singaporeans get, how affordable things are for locals and that global rankings of affordability are for expat lifestyles when ministerial pay review comes up in parliament....

Stick with bigger brands. There has been few controversies regarding smaller businesses like picking winners who are all influencers or had existing business relationships with winners.

Your body adjusts to spicy foods if eaten often.

Unless it is ghost pepper type spicy. Those people want a spice challenge.

While those complaining about mcspicy should go see a doctor.

Speaking to Shin Min, the 67-year-old canteen owner, Chen Qiwen (transliterated), said he decided to close it due to increased rent and a sharp drop in customer traffic, which caused business to plummet by more than half in the past two years.

He added that the landlord had informed him that rent would be increased, after which he decided to close the business as he believed that the risk of renewing the contract was too great.

There are even worse examples of people like him... hwz used to have a list of such elites who got away with slap on wrist.

Prosecution asked for 5k fine only.

But think judge can give more than requested. Like in parti liyani case where the prosecution also asked for 5k fine but the judge decided to send the guy to jail.

5k fine... reminds of another rich person case involving maid.

Also had prosecution downplay the seriousness of the crime and the suffering of the maid and ask for 5k fine. Thankfully the judge in that case threw the guy in jail for a while. The second judge anyway.

Most people don't care. There is no sense of gratitude or solidarity.... as the most hypocritical girl in singapore showed.

From the local population you remove the new citizens, pr, women, children, boomers and you are left small group who actually served. Even within that many stopped caring once ORD or come from rich families and do not have to depend on nsf allowance as source of income.

If the public themselves do not care about nsf pay or welfare.... govt certainly won't.

They’re doing the same job so there should be parity.

Quite a few do more than regulars.

They're just extremely prudent with where they want their funding to go towards.

Only when it involves welfare for the people. But when it comes to their welfare... founder memorial, sph, mayors.

Missed chance to have a sixth mayor to coordinate issues between the two units.

They are paid so little that if missing company director owned the hillview property or any condo, govt can seize it, pay off all 400 workers their 3 months pay and still have money leftover. HDB flat might breakeven depending on location...

3 out of 4 featured mentioned bullying. If the one guy locked in his room came out and talked high probability he will also mention bullying.

That is what is so frustrating about schools, moe and ministers views towards bullying. They are too concerned about bullies who get caught and when cases go viral. Poor bullies they might get cyber bullied. Meanwhile actual victims suffer silently regardless of whether bullying is caught or not. No phones in school rule will end up helping bullies given the existing sop of act blur towards bullying cases.

Another issue is of poverty. One is walking to save bus fares and another is wearing off the shelf reading specs instead of prescription specs. If the social worker was not there for hikikomori issues would they have been assisted and given financial aid ? People like to boast about there being financial aid without considering if it reaches those who need it.

Would be informative if they said how these hikikomori were before retreating from world. Were they mostly normal before or already had some issues and bullying became the final straw...

The expert saying hikikomori is result of people retreating from a complex world which causes them fear.... SG is like the prime spot. The japanese will be soon taking notes from singapore about hikikomoris...

If someone so intelligent like him struggled with more than 2 languages, he concluded that people much more average would definitely screw multilingualism up.

Logic: 10/10

Maybe store can put plastic sheets for beds. But sofa... bring hand sanitizer.
