April 24, 2008 Teen dies of broken skull six days after accident By Elena Chong ONE moment he was standing at the centre divider of a pedestrian crossing on Marine Parade Road. The next moment Wrixon Chew Teck Cheng, 16, was seen running diagonally towards a bus stop and was hit by a car and flung 10m away. The Victoria School student died six days later of a skull fracture - on Oct 17 last year. On Thursday, the driver of the car, Ms Chin Li Fen, 47, an Assistant Commissioner of the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore, was named a potential defendant at a coroner's inquiry into the teen's death. Traffic Police said Ms Chin was driving past the pedestrian crossing with lights in her favour at the time of the accident. According to the testimony of Wrixon's school mate, Arthur Lim Wei Quan, 16, they were crossing the road to return to school to collect a pen. He said a flashing green man was showing when they walked to the centre divider of the pedestrian crossing. When he reached the divider, Wrixon suddenly decided to run back to the bus stop where they had left their school bags with another student. As he dashed across the road, Wrixon was hit by the car, which stopped on the left side of the road. The inquiry was adjourned to May 12 for another witness to give evidence. http://www.straitstimes.com/Latest%2BNews/...ory_230646.html aunty... langga 10m away... rushing SMLJ?

Jan 23, 2008 Unbecoming behaviour of NTUC Income staff at Sengkang MRT station NTUC Income has set up a permanent booth at the Sengkang MRT station. What started initially as polite soliciting by the NTUC Income agents is now creating a nuisance. The behaviour of the agents is abhorrent. Their antics are amusing. The loud talk, laughter and joking all show a lack of seriousness in their job. They don't walk, they just jump and hop and place themselves in front of you. They block your way by extending their hands in both directions. When you try to bow down to wriggle out, they lower their hand. Even when the person says 'no', the agents keep walking along with him/her for quite a long distance. Thereafter they laugh out loud and signal back to their 'base station'. This kind of ridiculing the public is quite reprehensible. When a single office-going woman is spotted, the agents get excited and harass her no end. I have seen many people expressing disappointment after being accosted by these agents. To avoid the unwanted nuisance, commuters now take a roundabout route to the MRT. I would appreciate it if the NTUC Income management can look into this and restore the prestige of the profession. N. Nageswaran http://www.straitstimes.com/ST%2BForum/Onl...ory_198970.html chey....
