Motorcyclist fleeing from crash found with drugs and sword
Tuesday, Sep 6, 2016
 
Police chased and subdued a motorcyclist who ran away after his vehicle collided with a taxi on the Central Expressway (CTE) on Sunday afternoon.
 
They reportedly found drugs and a 20cm-long katana on him.
 
The incident happened on the CTE, near the Balestier Road exit, at about 3pm, Shin Min Daily News reported yesterday.
 
It is believed that the rider had been thrown to the ground after colliding with the taxi, when a police car happened to pass by.
 
When two police officers stopped to give assistance, the motorcyclist started running.
 
The police gave chase and caught him about 100m away along Towner Road.
 
After questioning the rider only to find that he seemed dazed and could not speak properly, the police searched his backpack.
 
Inside, they found the drugs and katana.
 
According to Shin Min, a three-hour traffic jam ensued after the police sealed off one lane of the expressway to conduct investigations.
 
A police spokesman told My Paper yesterday that a 38-year-old male motorcylist was taken conscious to Tan Tock Seng Hospital.
 
He was later arrested for possession of offensive weapons as well as traffic and drug offences.
 
Police investigations are ongoing.

Philippines stressed


MANILA—An anti-American rant by Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, later recanted, cast a shadow on Washington’s bid to bolster ties with Asian allies such as Manila to help offset China’s growing might.


U.S. President Barack Obama scrapped a planned meeting with Mr. Duterte in Laos on Tuesday after the outburst, sparking strains with one of Washington’s oldest Asian allies. Mr. Duterte later apologized. Still, the U.S.-Philippine tensions contrasted with President Rodrigo Duterte’s apparent determination to improve tattered relations with China.


Mr. Duterte, who took office in June, had been set for his first meeting with Mr. Obama on the sidelines of a regional summit in Laos. But before leaving Manila on Monday he reacted angrily to reporter questions about how he would respond should Mr. Obama express concerns on human rights grounds about the deaths of over 2,000 people in an antidrug campaign being waged by Mr. Duterte’s administration.


Mr. Duterte blamed the U.S., which ran the Philippines as a colony until 1946, for spawning the country’s current problems and swore in exasperation. In an aside, he used the phrase “son of a whore,” drawing scorn from the international press who took it as an insult directed straight at Mr. Obama.


“Clearly, he’s a colorful guy,” Mr. Obama said, questioning whether such talks could be “productive.” Soon after, the White House saidthe bilateral meeting was off.







Later Monday night, Mr. Duterte appeared to regret his outburst. “I do not want to quarrel with [Obama]. He’s the most powerful president of any country on the planet,” Mr. Duterte said after touching down in Laos. He blamed State Department officials for needling him by continually raising the issue of human rights, something Mr. Duterte contends matters less than curbing crime.


On Tuesday, a Philippine government spokesman said both sides decided to postpone the bilateral meeting to a later, undetermined date. “President Duterte today affirmed that he continues to value the alliance with the United States,” the spokesman said.


Mr. Duterte also issued a separate statement on Tuesday, accepting blame for the meeting’s postponement, adding “we also regret that it came across as a personal attack on the U.S. president.” He said the Philippines aims to chart an independent foreign policy “while promoting closer ties with all nations, especially the U.S.”


Mr. Duterte is experiencing a rocky transition from local politics to the global stage. He served for three decades as mayor of the southern Philippine city of Davao, becoming hugely popular for his tough approach to governance and for his loose-talking style.


“There will be a metamorphosis,” Mr. Duterte promised shortly after his election in May, agreeing to become more presidential and stop swearing in public. “From being a caterpillar, will blossom into a butterfly.”


The shift hasn’t occurred. Mr. Duterte has regularly blasted critics, including United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and international human rights groups for questioning his extreme stance on law and order.


His provocation of the U.S., which has been a treaty ally of Manila since 1951, demonstrates how he is struggling to adapt to high office, said Richard Javad Heydarian of Manila’s De La Salle University.


“His street-smart brand of politics brought him astonishing success in Philippine politics, and in frontier cities like Davao, but global affairs is another ballgame altogether,” Mr. Heydarian said.


Despite Mr. Duterte undiplomatic remarks over the U.S. and its colonial record, the Philippines has more recently become a prime beneficiary of U.S. aid. It reached record levels this year as the two allies pushed ahead with a defense pact signed by Mr. Obama and Mr. Duterte’s predecessor, Benigno Aquino III in 2014. That is a key plank of Mr. Obama’s strategy of rebalancing to the Asia-Pacific region and includes the planned deployment of U.S. troops to the Philippines for the first time in two decades.


On top of $79 million in military aid for 2016, Manila is set to receive $42 million from a White House initiative to build the maritime capacity. The U.S. has also supplied Manila with secondhand military equipment, as the Philippines seeks to restock its outmoded armed forces.


The Philippines also benefits from decades of military cooperation against local rebels, helpful for Mr. Duterte as he faces new threats of Islamist terrorism from Abu Sayyaf group, whose militants killed 14 people in a Davao bombing last week.


Such cooperation is likely to continue despite Mr. Duterte’s erratic behavior though Mr. Duterte could seek to restrict defense cooperation, Mr. Heydarian said.


“Obama’s diplomatic snub clearly shows growing strain in bilateral relations, but I expect the two allies to sort things out behind the scenes,” he said.


While the Duterte administration appears to be struggling to formulate a coherent foreign policy, it has been consistent in seeking to repair ties with China, which have deteriorated since Mr. Aquino took Beijing to a Hague tribunal in 2013 over the territorial dispute in the South China Sea.


The tribunal ruled in the Philippines’ favor July, striking down Beijing’s expansive claims to the South China Sea. China rejected the ruling. Mr. Duterte said he would not raise the matter at this week’s summit, a diplomacy that Mr. Heydarian said showed that the “de-escalation of maritime tensions with China” was a central pillar of Mr. Duterte’s foreign policy.


Yet, any fissures in U.S.-Philippine ties that cast doubts on Washington’s commitment to protect Manila could make Beijing less likely to negotiate with Mr. Duterte over the South China Sea, he said.

moral of the story ... want to sue .. sue la

not going to pay a single cent ... [laugh]

 

RWS successfully sued Rits for the rest of the money last year and won by default as Rits did not defend the lawsuit.

But Rits has yet to pay a single cent of the $200,000 judgment sum awarded by the State Courts - the $199,000 owed to RWS and $1,800 in legal costs.

I think the 1 that went up to pay $$$ is no big no small. These are the Kuai Lan Ang Moh.

Also witness Ang Mo stress a few days back.

 

At the traffic light. The green man turn red and as we are anticipating the lights to turn green. Two Ang Mo suddenly cross the road. First is an Ang Mo girl and behind follow by a breaded Ang Mo man. They cross nvm, but they slowly stroll down like its still green man. Lights turned green and they are barely halfway through and doesn't even take the effort to dash.

 

One of the car honked them. The Ang Mo guy then showed his middle finger.

 

I think this made everyone hot liao and all cars just chiong out (including me).

 

I can see from my rear mirror the 2 idiots got stuck in between lanes as other cars drive past. The guy is waving both his hands up like gesturing and farking us.

 

:D
