Heng ah.......if not have to say hello to Cow and horse. see the video in the stomp link ======================================= http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/singaporeseen/this-urban-jungle/what-a-close-shave-for-auxiliary-police-officer-he-nearly-gets-hit-by-oncoming An auxiliary police officer had his lucky stars to thank for him coming out unscathed after he fell off his motorcycle on the Pan Island Expressway (PIE). In an online video dated Jan 22, the officer first appears cruising down the leftmost lane of the expressway before overtaking a van beside him and filtering out to the lane it was on. Suddenly, the officer lost control of his bike then, forcing the van to swerve right to avoid running him over. If he thought that was the luckiest he could have gotten, he would be proved wrong at the very next moment. For the impact of the accident left him rolling onto another lane, and onto the path of a car, which had an dashboard camera that captured the entire accident. Fortunately, the driver was able to come to a complete halt, with just metres between the officer and the car.

The Government will rely on measures outside of the COE system to enhance social equity in car ownership. Fifty Aetos Auxiliary Police Officers (APOs) have undergone in-house training by the Traffic Police (TP) since April this year, the police said today (Sept 30). The deployment of these APOs are part of the TP's initiatives to step up enforcement efforts. At least nine APOs are deployed everyday around the island at various locations to take action against offences such as drivers beating red lights, cyclists riding on the footway or pedestrians jaywalking. From April to August this year, a total of 3,612 summonses have been issued to errant road users, the police said. These summonses include traffic violations such as drivers making unauthorised U-turns and failing to give way to pedestrians. Over this same period, over 2,180 operations have been conducted by the APOs. Source: http://www.todayonline.com/singapore/traff...iliary-officers
