STOMPer Alan was passing by Pasir Panjang Panjang Road at 6.30pm today when he noticed that a taxi and a van were involved in an accident. This held up traffic for around 30 minutes.
Said the STOMPer:
"I was on board a bus, which was passing by Pasir Panjang Road, when I noticed that there was a traffic jam.
"A taxi had collided with a van.
"Traffic was jammed for about 30 minutes.
"Police officers and Traffic Police personnel arrived on the scene shortly after the accident.
"The taxi was in bad shape, so the officers had to push it out of the way.
STOMPer Shirley was frustrated to see a taxi driver cutting the queue at a ESSO petrol station along Bedok North Road via the No Entry exit on April 6 and acting as if he was there first.
The STOMPer wrote:
"I was in the queue to pump air for my car when a TIBS taxi cut the queue via the 'No Entry' exit from the other side of the petrol station. This is not the first time I have seen this as other cars have been using the 'No Entry' exit to cut the queues at petrol stations.
"Anyway, the taxi driver proceeded to pump air for his taxi and was oblivious of me although I came out of my car, stared at him and took photo of him. It was as though he was there in the first place! From the photos, you can see that he was in the same direction as the 'No Entry' sign.
"I am frustrated by his behaviour. He poses a potential hazard for all the people at the petrol station by violating the 'No Entry' sign. What if there's a collision?
"I have sent my feedback to TIBS and Esso. I hope they can look into this issue and rectify a potential hazard."
PS:
Stomper Shirley might had got the petrol station wrong.
A Chinese chef residing in New York won US$1million ($1.26m) in lottery money, but lost it all at a casino. His wife divorced him and he is now hiding from moneylenders.
31-year-old Zou Bingsheng, originally from Fujian, won the $1.26m after he bought a US$20 ($25) lottery ticket in 2009. He and his wife planned to use the money to open a hair salon and sushi shop, but Zou lost all the money overnight at a casino in Connecticut.
He also incurred huge debts from gambling. He angry wife Liu Liqin divorced him the following year and Zou went into hiding to evade moneylenders. The moneylenders started harassing Liu after they failed to locate Zou.
The couple have a 4-year-old daughter.

"Striking the lottery is no easy feat, and this guy actually won more than $1million but gambled it all away!
"If I were his wife I'd have done the same thing and divorced him. Now not only have they lost their windfall, the couple is also mired in debts as moneylenders have been harassing the wife after Zou went into hiding.
"Top top it all off, Zou is really irresponsible. Instead of using the money to provide a good life for his wife and young daughter, he got himself into debt and abandoned his family."
PS:
Really idiot!
But I guess its his fate to win but not his fate to have it.
Gambling without control can ruin a person or a whole family's life.
On his way to Sentosa, STOMPer KT encountered a cab driver who started the meter before he even got into the cab. The driver also tried to get the STOMPer to alight at the Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) Casino taxi stand so that he could enjoy the extra charge at that pick-up point.
The STOMPer wrote:
"A wet and rainy morning to start off the day with and what better way to worsen it?
"A difficult Comfort DelGro cab driver.
"After I flagged down his taxi, he started the fare meter before the cab even came to a complete halt and before I even boarded the cab!
"To my utter disgust, when told that my destination was in Sentosa, this driver commented that there were more telephone bookings that he could have taken up instead of going to Sentosa.
"After I retorted that I was actually the one paying him the fare, he then asked if it was the RWS Casino taxi stand that I was headed to.
"I told him that I was heading to Siloso Point in Sentosa, but he kept repeating the question on whether I was headed to the RWS Casino until I told him off and explained that I was going to Siloso Point to work, not to the Resorts World Casino to gamble.
"It appeared that he wanted to go the RWS Casino taxi stand so that he could charge passengers the extra $3.50 for fares starting from that pick-up point.
"Lastly, he drove so slowly even on the expressway, holding up traffic in the middle lane!
"What a disreputable cabby.
"I hope Comfort DelGro will deal with him accordingly."
PS:
Story might be one sided.
There might misunderstanding between them.
But if this stomper said is true, than this cabby must be out of his mind.
With internet so wide now, alot of things can't be sweep under the map.
