Restoring full train service on the East-West Line (EWL) is a challenging task due to the extensive damage to the MRT tracks and equipment, said Transport Minister Chee Hong Tat on Thursday (Sept 26) night. Chee was visiting the Ulu Pandan Depot, where he met some of the 300 engineers and technicians from the Land Transport Authority (LTA) and rail operator SMRT who «have been working day and night» since a faulty train caused service disruption on Wednesday morning. «As the damage is very extensive, they have to do this carefully and it requires a lot of time,» he told the media.

SINGAPORE — A man insisted on following a woman home in a private-hire car after they had drinks and violated her when she fell asleep. During the journey, Muhammad Syafiq Danial Abdullah unzipped his trousers and forced himself on her. When the 37-year-old woman woke up a while later, she found herself lying face down on the man's lap. On Sept 26, Syafiq, who is now 26 years old, was sentenced to six years and eight months' jail and six strokes of the cane after he pleaded guilty to a charge of rape. The definition of rape in the Penal Code was expanded in 2020 to include oral and anal penetration without consent. Another charge, for molesting the woman in the car, was taken into consideration in sentencing. Syafiq, who worked as a commercial diver at the time, met the victim for the first time on the evening of Sept 24, 2022, at a band performance. They had separately gone to a restaurant in Upper Circular Road to support their friends, who were members of the same band. After the performance, the woman met Syafiq when she joined her friend at his table.

We continued to have our lunch and the food was really really terrible. Due to the excess dark sauce put in their sauce, the food tasted bitter.» According to Sean, an employee ignored him when he raised the issue, while another responded, «Then what you want me to do?»
