SINGAPORE — A married couple and their teenage daughter lived in the five-room flat in Hougang that was engulfed in flames on Jan 9. The fire broke out at about 12.40pm in the third-floor unit of Block 971 Hougang Street 91. The occupants of the flat were Lee Choon Geak, 62; his wife, Seow Siew Choo, 56; and their teenage daughter. The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) responded and arrived at the scene in eight minutes from the time they were alerted. Firefighters had to force their way into the unit, but faced challenges because of the excessive amount of items and heavily smoke-logged condition inside. The Straits Times understands that only Lee's body has been identified so far, as the bodies of the other victims suffered significant burns. According to records, Lee married Seow in 1992 and the family moved into the flat in 2019. Neighbours said the flat was cluttered, and the family owned several pets, including a cat, a bird and rabbits, causing a stench along the corridor. They said the family would often bring home a mix of items and leave them outside the unit.

SINGAPORE — The teenager involved in a motorcycle chase that led to the death of a Land Transport Authority (LTA) officer in 2024 has pleaded guilty to various charges. Through his lawyer, the offender, now 19, also apologised to the family of the officer and retracted an earlier statement that he made saying he was «not to be blamed» for the officer's death. On Friday (Jan 10), the teen admitted to six charges, including riding a motorcycle in a dangerous manner and drug consumption. Seven other charges will be taken into consideration during his sentencing on Jan 23. The teen cannot be named, as he was 17 years old when he consumed methamphetamine. Those below 18 are protected under the Children and Young Persons Act. On June 4, 2024, the teen illegally rode a motorcycle along the Seletar Expressway in a dangerous manner to evade LTA enforcement officer Zdulfika Ahakasah, 26, who had ordered him to stop. Zdulfika crashed his motorcycle while chasing the teen and subsequently died in hospital.
