Until now, Vimo has not responded. Do you think it has learnt its lesson? Should it apologise for its horrible attitude? Can the business be saved or is there already no hope?

Harlow Polis?

Dear Editors, As I was cycling past Jalan Besar today to take shelter at a bus stop due to a sudden downpour, I witnessed a pleasant occurrence. An elderly Chinese uncle was also similarly caught in the rain due to the faulty mechanics of his wheelchair. Two migrant workers who saw this from the bus stop immediately rushed to …

Our reader was unhappy at Watsons staff for demanding her elderly wheelchair-bound mother to issue proof so that she can use her elderly card for payments. Why is the staff so arrogant?

A Sengkang resident is unhappy with the amenities at LRT stations as they create inconveniences for the elderly and wheelchair-bound. Shouldn't the LTA or grassroots leaders do something to make their lives easier?

For this, Ho Chin Hin, 57, was jailed for nine months. Mr Khiong, who gets around on a wheelchair, had tried to escape by climbing out of a window in Ho's Eunos Crescent flat. Unfortunately, he fell to the ground below, and died of multiple injuries despite being rushed to the hospital. Ho is already serving a five years and three months sentence for his drug offence, and will now add the nine months more to his sentence.

According to a report by Lianhe Zaobao, a wheelchair bound old lady crossing the zebra crossing at SGH was knocked down by a taxi driver. The electric wheelchair was damaged and her back suffered injuries. The taxi driver left his contact details but when the old lady called the number, the number was fake and she had been played by the heartless taxi uncle.

Between 5:45pm and 5:53pm on 16Sep at Yishun Bus Interchange, me and my wife, who's on wheelchair, were waiting at Berth 5 for either buses 812 or 806. 806, is supposedly not a wheelchair friendly service (fair enough). Though the majority of buses that came were indeed Wheelchair Accessible Buses (WAB) of different models. We were however told by the bus driver, that he does not accept wheelchair passengers, even though said driver was indeed driving a WAB. Are wheelchair passengers supposed to be waiting for multiple buses, and to only hope that a WAB will arrive before their wheelchairs collect rust, on a supposedly wheelchair friendly service?

I am a resident living under East Coast-Fengshan town council. Looks at these barriers at Blk 104 Bedok North Ave 4. They were erected to stop cyclists and deter them from speeding. However our town council staff forgot about the wheelchair bound users in the estate. Now grannies and grandpas in wheelchair have difficulty using the sheltered walkways because they are blocked by these unsightly barriers.
