Another netizen echoes complaints about heavy vehicles going way past their speed limits. He observed some of them trying to overtake each other at Tuas Industrial area and hoped the authorities will take action.

A netizen is appealing for witness to a car accident on 9 Sep on PIE towards Tuas. A Toyota driver hit her car and is accusing her of cutting into his lane instead.

5 vehicles collided along the PIE before the Paya Lebar exit towards Tuas, causing a massive jam which lasted over an hour. 2 out of 5 were taxis. It is uncertain what caused the collision but 3 women were injured and taken conscious to Raffles Hospital.

A netizen posted a video of this mart in Tuas which sneakily replaced its expiry date with a newer one. Be careful, don't kena conned and buy expired food! Is this how they do business?

MWC also confirmed that the man's family had managed to see him for the last time, having arrived in Singapore on Wednesday night. The family members were with him when he passed away. The other worker, a 27 year old man from Shandong, suffered 66% burns to his body. He is still in a critical condition in the hospital.

The ICA had clarified that the slowness of the immigration clearance system at the Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints that caused hundreds of motorists to be stranded in the two causeways, was a result of a technical glitch, and not an act of cyber attack. This was good to hear, as that means the worldwide cyber attack had not preyed on Singapore's government computer systems, or that the computer systems in Singapore's government organisations are covered well against such attacks. However, this brings the question on why the technical glitch had to happen on the very day people worldwide were worried that the cyber attacks might cripple the running of day-to-day activities. This can be quite serious, as ICA's technical glitch happened at the causeways, essentially Singapore's first point of fight against outside terrorism.

The company had released a statement that since that incident, they had spent $70 million to upgrade its facilities with new machinery. Unfortunately, even with this new machinery, it could not prevent yesterday's fire. The company should be applauded for making efforts to improve its fire safety, but at the same time, investigations must be carried out thoroughly to find out why all this still failed to prevent the massive fire.

Finally, the huge fire at the Tuas Waste management plant was put out. It took about 200 fireman 4 hours to successfully fight the fire. Thankfully, all the workers at the plant managed to be evacuated before the fire engulfed the while building. There was only one reported case of injury in the fire, that of a firefighter who went down with exhaustion. Periodic explosions were also heard as the firefighters were fighting the blaze. As the fire involved chemical waste and flammable materials, the police had advised the public to stay away from the area.

There is a major fire now happening at the Tuas Waste Management plant. Apparently, the affected plant belongs to the ECO Special Waste Management. SCDF personnel are at the scene of the fore, battling hard to put it out. The police had also advised the public to avoid the area. The fire, which occurred early this morning, is so huge, it can be seen from afar.
