SG: APB Singapore Spearheads Inaugural Campaign To Salute Singapore's Designated Drivers
Asia Pacific Breweries Singapore (APB Singapore) has spearheaded, for the first time, a collaboration with the National Taxi Association (NTA) and Cheers Holdings, to thank and give recognition to taxi drivers in Singapore whom have gone the extra mile to bring party revelers home safely and to prevent drink-driving.
This community project will offer 3,000 sets of snacks, comprising a coffee, Polar sugar roll and curry puff in each set, to taxi drivers, redeemable at selected Cheers and FairPrice Xpress outlets located at petrol stations from 5 – 7 February 2014. Car decals that call out “We Salute Singapore’s Designated Drivers” will also be presented to 3,000 taxi drivers as a mark of appreciation.
SG: Man runs across ECP to evade cops
A man leaped over barricades and ran across the busy East Coast Parkway into the nearby Marine Parade estate in a bid to evade the police. He nearly caused a series of car accidents in doing so. One eye witness, 30 year old teacher Mr Brandon Lim, happened to be jogging in the park at the time of the incident. He aided the police in cornering the man, although that didn’t stop the suspect from escaping.
The suspect, in his forties at the time of his arrest, managed to make it as far as Marine Terrace before he was caught by the cops. The incident happened at roughly 6:52pm, after he was arrested for drug-related offences along Marine Terrace. Investigations are ongoing.Pictures used for illustration purposes only.
