Dear Resident,

CRIME ALERT: THEFT OF CABLES FROM LIFT UPGRADING PROJECTS (LUP)

This letter serves to alert you on a recent spate of cable thefts from lift upgrading project sites. These cables are usually kept in temporary stores such as switch rooms or pump rooms for use in lift upgrading projects (LUP).

These switch rooms are usually secured with padlocks; however there were instances where padlocks were found opened without any tampering marks. Besides monetary losses, contractors also had to endure significant inconvenience and delays to their operations as such thefts impede the progress of upgrading works.

If you have any information pertaining to the above cases, or wish to report any suspicious persons carrying items such as cutters, trolleys or large bags, loitering at the vicinity of the void decks where lift upgrading projects are in progress, contact the Police at Police hotline at 1800 – 255 0000 or dial “999” if urgent police assistance is required.

Thank you and regards.

If you wish to report a crime, call “999” or go to any Neighbourhood Police Centre/Post or www.spf.gov.sg/epc. Nothing hereby signifies any endorsement of this forum by SPF.

Thanks for all your suggestions and tips!

CRIME ALERT: THEFT OF PETROL FROM MOTORCYCLES

  Lately, there has been an increase in the number of petrol thefts from motorcycles parked at car parks. In these cases, the culprit(s) would tamper with the exposed fuel pipes of a motorcycle before using a manual pump to siphon the petrol into a container.

 2.         These thefts had predominantly occurred at the northern and western parts of the island, including Bukit Panjang, Jurong West, Woodlands, Redhill and Telok Blangah estates, and would usually be perpetuated during the night when human traffic is low.

 3.         While the police have increased patrols at these locations, we strongly advise vehicle owners to adopt the following crime prevention measures to avoid being the next victim:

 a)     Park your vehicle in a well-lit area;

b)     Secure your motorcycle with a canvas and secure it with a lock;

c)      Install an anti-theft alarm and ensure that it is always in good working order;

 4.         If you have any information pertaining to the above cases, or wish to report any suspicious persons loitering at the vicinity of the car parks, especially when they are carrying items such as manual pumps and containers, please inform the Police immediately at “999”.

 5.         Thank you and regards.

i dunno why i still can go youporn =.=

Apparently they blocked www.youporn.com but not the version without the www. Don't ask me why.

I recently talked about YouPorn being the #21 most popular site in Singapore, which resulted 5 days later in the MDA swiftly blocking access to several pornography sites referenced in Alexa’s list of top 100 most popular sites in Singapore. I think the government might be facing an identity crisis over how to handle pornography – which brings me to the question – is legalising porn the next logical step for Singapore?

To the government, there is very little reason not to legalise porn. Prostitution is already legal in Singapore, and we are building several massive casinos, both of which are, in my opinion, far worse vices than pornography. We also train our children as young as 16 to kill people (in defence of our country). Pornography is already legal in many developed 1^st world countries like the US, UK, Australia, Japan - with its traditional and conservative society - and even deeply religious countries like Israel! There is very little we can do to enforce or control pornography on the internet. Legalising pornography would be in line with the government’s policy of encouraging breeding amongst our population. We can become the “porn hub” of S.E.A, and of course, “Singaporn” would be a great brand name!

On the other hand, there are many downsides. Pornography might erode our society’s moral values, corrupt our young, encourage deviant and unacceptable sexual behaviour, increase sex crimes, lead to more unwanted pregnancies, single parents, broken families, STDs, unsafe sex, premarital sex, and so on. However, sometimes it is just easier to push the blame onto something else other than poor parenting and supervision, and lack of education.

Would you support or oppose the legalisation of porn in Singapore? If the government were to propose to legalise porn, how would you respond?

Nobody help? :(

Looks like we raised some awareness ....  

My guess about the qualification is that they are looking for a certain gender / age profile, and also once they fill their quota for a certain gender/age combination they will stop taking surveys for that.

But thanks for trying! There will definitely be other surveys with different profiles needed
