Rider from Singapore claims fuel from JB kiosk contaminated with water, causing bike's breakdown

Shortly after refuelling his Singapore-registered motorbike at a petrol station in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, a man found himself stranded when the vehicle suddenly stopped running and could not be restarted. With the help of some Good Samaritans, he towed the bike to a nearby workshop, where he and a mechanic discovered that water had gotten into his fuel tank. Taking to Facebook on Monday (May 6), Herwan Yusoff claimed that there was water in the V-Power petrol he had pumped from the Shell petrol station along Jalan Wong Ah Fook at around 2pm last Sunday. He also posted a picture of the fuel drained from his motorbike, and said that there's a layer of water at the bottom of the container. Herwan wrote: «The mechanic mentioned that this wasn't the first time such an incident occurred, especially after heavy rain. It seems that the storage tank at the station might have a leak, allowing water to seep in during storms. »This could have caused serious damage to my bike if left untreated."

Jail for ex-auxiliary cop who kept seized sex enhancement drugs for his own use

SINGAPORE — An auxiliary policeman was the leader of a team tasked to patrol around Geylang when he made off with illegal sex enhancement drugs (SEDs) seized from peddlers in the area. Mohd Aris Jalil, 66, who took the drugs for his own consumption, pleaded guilty on May 7 to one count of criminal breach of trust and was sentenced to six weeks' jail. The Singaporean — one of four men linked to the case who were hauled in court in November 2023 — is no longer working as an auxiliary policeman for security firm Certis Cisco. The cases involving two of the other men — Malaysian Thiru Murugan Shanmugam, 30, and Chinese national Chen Zixiong, 32 — are pending. Thiru is also a former Certis Cisco auxiliary policeman, while Chen is said to be an SED peddler. At the time of the offences, the fourth man, Mohammad Hafizudin Hanapiah, 30, was a security officer employed by Dynamiz Security and contracted to Certis Cisco. Hafizudin, who is no longer working for Certis Cisco, was sentenced to three months and two weeks' jail in January after he pleaded guilty to a graft charge.
