SG: Bus tickets almost sold out.

A 38-year old man suspected of stealing 6,500 litres of diesel from an oil tank has been arrested. The man is an employee at a shipyard in Tuas, and it is believed that the diesel was transferred to a tugboat. That said, no one knows what he did with the diesel afterwards. The police received a call at 10:00am on Tuesday after the diesel was discovered missing, which led to a hunt and an arrest about 6 hours later.  He may be charged with a seven year jail term and a fine if found guilty.

Cab Drivers have it harder compared to counterparts from yesteryears. Getting a licence and knowing the roads are one thing, upgrading their skills and expanding their business is a whole different issue. Modern cabbies need to do their sums, put themselves out there through the identification of their target clientele to better cope with the demanding commuters as well as the stringent Government standards. The Taxi Association is trying to provide aid to their cabbies to help improve the taxi industry by suggesting new regulations to the LTA that include relooking the availability standards that require 70 percent of each operator's fleet to clock at least 250km a day and the introduction of a mediation system to help resolve the dispute between their drivers. The union also organises workshops to improve the cabbies’ health and well-being.
