It was the last day of Sungei Road Flea Market. From this weekend, some of the vendors would have no choice but to set up temporary stalls at Golden Mile Tower - "so that we can continue with some hope in our lives. So that we will not be put in a situation where we have nothing to do and get into depression". "This new temporary market will be called Sungei Market. Sungei Market will not only consist of the vendors here; We hope to include the youths and entrepreneurs as vendors too. So that we can learn new things from each other and create a more exciting market... Tonight, Sungei Road Market may have lost the road, but we hope that the Sungei spirit can continue with Sungei Market".

Last Saturday, a reader drove her second hand car into Malaysia, but was stopped by Malaysian police just before the last checkpoint heading towards the Singapore side of the causeway. She was puzzled and scared as she did not know what they stopped her for - as far as she knew, she had not done anything wrong and she had no outstanding offences in Malaysia. Malaysian police impounded her vehicle, and finally told her that she had to settle 6 outstanding fines attributed to this vehicle in the years between 2004 and 2007. These fines were incurred by the vehicle's previous owner!
