Ouch. That must have hurt quite a bit for the Honda Vezel driver. Spotted on various Facebook group is this video of a Honda Vezel doing an illegal u-turn at the junction of Telok Blangah Road and Sentosa Gateway on 26Nov 2020. Unfortunately for this Vezel driver, a Singapore Police Force Patrol car was among the cars that had the right of way and needed to avoid the crossover. Naturally, the SPF patrol car turned on its siren and stopped the Vezel immediately... So what can we learn from here? Like what your Army Encik says, if you insist of not following the law, just make sure you don't get caught...

Read about this interesting though unconventional park bench designed by a German Fabian Brunsig. It was designed to, and I quote, "protest against the commercialisation of modern life" You put in 0.5 Euro, the spikes retract and you have yourself a nice spot to sit down, rest your legs but you have to get up after sometime when a siren announces the impending rise of the spikes. It was reported that Yantai Park in Shangdong Province in Eastern China actually installed this type of benches. Here's the website of the designer and a video clip on how the bench works: http://www.fabianbrunsing.de/

Watch where you aim!

My Suzie SX4 suspension is a strange creature. Over road humps (i.e. sleeping policemen) it is okay. BUT! over a sharp bump in the road, the suspension macham rock hard. BAM! As if no shock absorbers like that. How? Is it because the shock absorbers are lousy? If I wanted to change, would it void my warranty? If won't void, how much would a set of decent shock absorbers cost? (I'm not rolling in money). Thanks!

Most penis removals King Menephta, Egypt In 1300 BC, King Menephta came home from battle after successfully beating the Libyans.

His ancient monument at Karnak has a detail of which penis belonged to whom -- Libyan generals, Libyans, Sirculians, Etruscans, and Greeks.

Singaporean demoted in UN graft case Singapore (dpa) - Singapore's Ministry of Foreign Affairs is mystified by by a United Nations decision to demote Assistant Secretary General Andrew Toh and fine him two months' salary, a spokesman said on Saturday. The 60-year-old UN career office from Singapore, who was once the UN's chief of procurement except for peacekeeping missions, learned of the demotion on Tuesday. In January last year, the UN put Toh on fully-paid leave after the UN's Procurement Task Force alleged that he had mismanaged the leasing of two Peruvian helicopters. The UN's Joint Disciplinary Committee exonerated Toh of the lesser charge of misleading the UN on the lease of the two helicopters. Toh "is like a pedestrian deliberately hit by a speeding car as he crosses the street, only to be cited for jaywalking as he lies injured, while the culprit goes unpunished," the spokesman said, adding that the decision is "unjust and unfair." "In more than 21 months of investigations, the UN was unable to find any evidence to substantiate spurious allegations of corruption or fraud against" Toh, the spokesman said. Separately, the Panel on Discrimination and Other Grievances ruled that Toh had been subject to "harassment, discrimination, and intimidation and that he should receive an apology, reinstatement, and restitution," the spokesman said. Both tribunals concluded that Toh had been denied due process and that his human rights had been violated. The disciplinary committee concluded that Toh failed to properly declare his financial assets in 2004 and 2005, and that he had refused to comply fully with the secretary general's directive to disclose all his financial information to the procurement task force. The committee recognized that Toh was reacting against harassment, discrimination and intimidation by the task force and recommended a supervisory reprimand for the non-disclosure of financial information and a sanction which would not go beyond censure. "For unknown reasons, the recommendations from the UN's own tribunals" were rejected, the spokesman said. Toh, who lives in the US state of Connecticut, has requested that the UN lift immunity on his accuser so that he can take legal action against him, but so far has been unsuccessful, the spokesman noted. Toh is waiting to hear when and where he should begin his new duties as director. http://www.bangkokpost.com/breaking_news/b...s.php?id=122810 aiya.. spend extra $$$ on UN budget, tio demote is already beri chirp punishment liaoz.
