A cigarette butt landed on my roof top (likely thrown by someone on the second or third floor) and it left a yellowish burnt mark about a 10 cent coin in size. Would someone be kind enough to let me know how to remove this burnt mark?

Ang Mo size trying Asian hole .... from yahoo : Woman Gets Stuck in Ho Chi Minh Hiding Hole Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam is famous for its network of Củ Chi tunnels and holes, used by Viet Cong soldiers as hiding spots during combat. These days, the holes and tunnels are a common tourist attraction. To maximize concealment, the holes were built quite small, which can cause issues for today’s tourists, as this poor woman found out for herself during a recent trip to the hiding holes of Ho Chi Minh City.

one morning last week when I went to my car there's a cigarette butt on top of the boot. A closer look I found the car paint was burnt brownish already. My car was deep grey in color so it is not obvious unless looked carefully. But for a light color painted car it'll definitely be very noticeable. Just want to remind folks not to park too closely to HDB windows if possible. especially rear of the building where anythin could be thrown out of the kitchen/toilet window.

just recieved letter via registered mail asking me to confirm driver for the stated offence. any bro tio before? called them they said captured by nea officers ..sia suay me. i cant even remember . offence back dated 3 weeks ago..

CNA report : Two Malaysians jailed for possessing ATM skimming equipment SINGAPORE: Two Malaysian men were jailed six years each for possessing skimming equipment to make false ATM cards. Twenty-seven-year-old Loke Siew Fei and 39-year-old H'Ng Gaik Chin each pleaded guilty to two counts of contravening the Computer Misuse Act and one count of possessing equipment for making a false instrument. An additional charge of unauthorised use of computer service was also taken into consideration. The duo were tasked to bring skimming devices into Singapore to conduct skimming activities on ATM machines. In January, they tampered with three ATM machines - a DBS ATM at Bugis Village, and two UOB ATMs at Sims Avenue. After installing skimming devices on the machines, they would steal data from the ATM card's magnetic strip. A camera was also installed near the machines' key pad to record the Personal Identification Numbers (PIN) of users. They then emailed the information to a syndicate in Malaysia, where unauthorised withdrawals would be carried out by other members. The court heard that within an hour of them tampering with the machines, bank customers carried out more than 200 transactions involving 100 bank accounts at the affected ATM machines. However, none of the accounts were misused and there was no actual monetary loss to customers. Just in posession of skimming equipment and no $$$$ loss, get 6 years jail each. Head-butt police officer, probation only....

Was waiting to enter Rocher Centre CP about 20mins ago when I was kissed lightly on the butt by an old merc. I alighted to check and saw the merc just 2 inches from my butt. Nothing wrong so I returned to my car. Feeling uneasy, I got down again to check after moving forward with the queue. This time I could squat and check more thoroughly. Lucky nothing wrong. What pissed me off is, the merc driver didn't even alight to check or apologise. WTF! :angry:

Kena ambushed by NEA guys Was having a fag on a overhead bridge at Funan. It's a common area where staffs take breaks. That overhead bridge never had a dust bin so it's a common practice to chuck the butt onto the flowers For years there's no bin there until today So me and some other guys all kena... I think NEA must have made a few grand today just by investing in a dust bin never know dust bin can makes more money in an hour than a prostitute.

THREE men stand in a corner of Orchard Road, absorbed in conversation. Their lips move in sync, but there is no eye contact between them. Instead, they furtively scan the crowd, picking out those who let things slip out of their hands. Once an unsuspecting target tosses a cigarette butt, tissue paper or a disposable cup on the ground and walks away, these National Environment Agency (NEA) enforcement officers move in. The first name to enter their books is a teenager's. The young man, with dyed hair and dressed in jeans and a polo T-shirt, is the only one among his group of five friends to flick his cigarette stub carelessly on the ground. 'I didn't do it,' he protests when the NEA officers confront him. He is given a $200 fine. Feigning ignorance is a common tactic of litterbugs, said NEA inspection manager Michael Chew. Otherwise, they ask to be let off with a warning, giving excuses like they dropped it 'by accident' or they were 'planning to pick it up before leaving', said Mr Chew, who routinely carries out such spot checks. Of the over 20,000 litterbugs nabbed last year, 385 were repeat offenders who paid higher fines and were made to pick up rubbish under the Corrective Work Order scheme. Five other litterbugs caught in the 21/2-hour operation in Orchard Road were also done in by cigarette butts. Among them was Mr Nagappa Balakrishnan, 20, who was fined $350 for littering and spitting at Wheelock Place. The cleaner, who earns $700 a month, clearly felt the pain. He said: 'This is such a big fine, I won't throw things again.' Although most caught red- handed were cooperative, the officers had to call the police when a couple in their 20s refused to show the officers their identification cards. They finally complied after 15 minutes, before the police arrived, and were each handed a $200 fine. Only a select few - the elderly and tourists - were let off with a warning. To curb the littering problem, the NEA sends out officers daily on enforcement assignments which last between four and 12 hours. The agency has a pool of 470 officers for such undercover duties, including 50 from security companies Aetos and Certis Cisco. Mr Chew said they can usually nab up to 20 litterbugs over three hours. 'Singaporeans need to take ownership of their own litter,' said Mr Chew. 'There are so many bins around, so please throw (your litter) into them.' But for those who were caught and fined, none was asked to pick up what he let slip. And none offered to.

Part II to mouse....

i rmb seeing a lot of these coronas when i was younger. looks very executive and nice, even by today's standards. just find it strange that i seldom see this one the roads and there is not even a single one on sale in sgcarmart. only have the big butt version which is older.. any idea wad happen to most of these coronas in singapore?

Engine stalled on me while reversing and I rammed my Integra's butt into the wall. As a result, paint chipped off and alignment was shifted. Any good place to repair this? Would I need a NEW bumper? (I seriously hope not) Dun wanna go to Kah Motor to repair as I know it will cost a bomb. Any good outside shops that have my paint? Pearl White I think...

Anyone did the above? Is it possible to do so? Risks involved? Additional equipment required?

Err...hope this round I have included most of the more popular cars on SG roads. No offence to those that I have missed out though.

just got my tein coilovers (super street) installed, and boy, is my ass hurting... i literally flew off my seat when i went over a hump at barely 10kmh... what remedy is there? it's adjustable right? i didn't get the EDFC so i have to trot back to the workshop to do any tweaks to it... or should i run it in first, for like a few weeks... maybe it's just brand new...
