I calmly told him to talk nicely and don't have to be rude, instead he continued talking to me abusively along with his "fluent" vulgarities for the next 5mins or so. I was taken aback and told him to stop or I call the police for assistance. He finally stopped when I whipped out my handphone. He went back to his bike, continued uttering his vulgarity and rode off!

Would not the Transport Minister Lui Tuck Yew be shedding crocodile tears to show extreme concern now on both the North-South and East-West lines affected by the disruption? He could not now pretend that he was not aware of the inadequacies of Desmond Kuek whose credentials to helm the SMRT are highly flawed. He was an army general whose whole life experience had been in getting the army yes men to be in strict discipline. So what expertise could he have in running a complex SMRT which requires technological knowledge to run smoothly without disruption.

SMRT insiders have informed ST that the public listed company have convened a board meeting late last night and approved plans to purchase 154 diesel-powered trains to replace the current fleet of aging trains and resolve electrical power lines issue that has plagued SMRT for years.

In the wake of the massive MRT breakdown along the North-South (NS Line) and East-West (EW Line) MRT lines, netizens have taken to Lui Tuck Yew and SMRT Corporation's Facebook pages to vent their anger at being trapped outside for hours with no means of transport to get them home.

In the wake of the biggest MRT breakdown in Singapore history, Minister for Transport Lui Tuck Yew has finally come up with a statement, although his words are probably little comfort to the many Singaporeans still stuck outside in the sweltering heat, squeezed like sardines into MRT train cabins, buses and long snaking queues for alternate modes of public transport.

The Ministry of Transport is proposing a new set of laws which will impose a set of regulations on those seeking to fly unmanned aircraft — popularly referred to as drones. If passed, these regulations will take effect from June. Drones have become popular in goods delivery, search and rescue operations and aerial filming in recent years. According to the Unmanned Aircraft (Public Safety and Security) Bill introduced in Parliament today, a permit will be required to operate an unmanned aircraft if it weighs more than 7kg, if it flies within 5km of an aerodrome, or within restricted areas.

One easy villain to blame for high COE prices is the car dealer, who bids whatever he likes for a certificate (kicking a kitten or two along the way to work) and then passes the cost on to you, right Actually, car dealers despise high COE prices. That’s because expensive COEs lead to losses.

Sources have informed ST that Jeremy Clarkson is set to sign a deal with Channel 5. The former host of TopGear will helm a car show in Singapore in an effort to capitalise on the runaway success of Channel NewsAsia's Cruise Control segment.

I am extremely concerned about the disruption of BPLRT services, which has resulted in significant inconvenience to residents. LTA and SMRT engineers have been working round the clock since yesterday evening to try to restore service...

Singapore has 144,934 registered motorcycles in 2013. This number is rising despite the cost of COE. The increased costs to ride can be overlooked as riders get to enjoy the breeze, convenience and the occasional hot chicks wrapped behind their backs.
