Responding to the recent highway collapse near PIE which left 1 dead and 10 injured, Minister for Manpower Lim Swee Say said it was a man-made incident that could be avoided if everyone paid enough attention to workplace safety. DUH.

A netizen who has friends in OKP Holdings, the company responsible for the collapsed highway, revealed that the firm pays OT to its staff to encourage them to work longer hours. Their goal to hire as little manpower as possible backfired as workers were left more tired from their long shifts. Look at what happened.

Or Kim Peow Contractor is the firm responsible for building the highway along Upper Changi Rd, but what's interesting is, it is owned by OKP Holdings Pte Ltd, whose Chairman and Directors are grassroots leaders! Chairman Or Kim Peow is in Potong Pasir CCC and was awarded Public Service Awards a few times before. His 3 sons are Directors of the company (surprise surprise!) and were similarly awarded for their contributions to public service. How come so many big shots but still cannot ensure safety precautions, still kena fined, still got lapse? What are they going to do about it now that they kena so many accidents? Eh pls la, make sure you run your company properly first before boasting about your involvement in "serving the community"!

One was pronounced dead while 10 others were injured after an uncompleted highway structure collapsed along Upper Changi Rd East this morning. The incident happened near the PIE exit to the TPE at around 3.35am. As many as 60 SCDF officers were alerted to the scene. Latest update: SCDF announced that it completed its rescue operations and has accounted for all of the construction workers.

In May last year, an Uber driver had reversed her car on the CTE when she missed the exit.

I came across this Malaysian taking photos of Singaporean vehicles driving along the emergency lane of Malaysian North South highway.

If u see oranges or fruits when driving on Malaysian Highways, you must ensure u do not run over them, avoid at all cost. See the attached photos of oranges with steel nails stuck in them. This is a tactic used by robbers in Malaysia. Once the nails burst the tyres and the car stop, robbers will take the chance to rob the unsuspecting car.

All Touch ‘n Go card users, beware! To all Touch ‘n Go card users, please beware when you top up your Touch ‘n Go cards at exit counters at highway tolls. Clearly, the counter staff had the intention to cheat me and apparently had successfully cheated me of RM10. He told me the balance was RM19.70 and he only topped up RM20 to my card. Telling me RM10 less than the actual amount in the card is to cover up his wrong doing. After topping up of RM20, my actual card balance is RM49.70 (19.70 + 30 = 29.70 + 20) and I naturally I would not have discovered that if I hadn’t asked for a receipt.
