SG: Heavy traffic expected at checkpoints

An MRT brawl that occurred earlier this year has already cost 50-year old Ng Cheng Kiat $2,500. The second man has been fined $1,500 on Wednesday for disrupting public peace. 40 year old Teeng Kok Yong admitted to kicking Ng twice on his leg, before both were locked in a fight. The squabble was broken up by a passenger onboard. Ng admitted in court that he punched Teeng once in his face. Teeng escaped relatively lightly, for he could have earned one year in jail time and fined up to $5,000.Pictures used for illustration purposes only.

The LTA is calling a tender to invite contractors to submit the cost proposals and bid to build a new bus terminal near Changi Business Park, off Changi South Avenue 1. The terminal will be built to support the Bus Service Enhancement Programme, and is expected to be operational by second quarter 2015, with SBS Transit handling the outfitting and preparation for revenue service. The new terminal will incorporate parking bays for 12 buses, an office for the bus operator, a canteen, and a rest area for bus drivers.Pictures used for illustration purposes only.

The LTA will temporarily close down Upper Bukit Timah Road (between Hume Avenue and Hillview Road) on Tuesday, 22 April 2014, from 1.00am to 5.00am. The closure will facilitate the erection of beams for the construction of a pedestrian overhead bridge as part of the DTL2 project. Access to and from Jalan Asas will be maintained. Motorists who are travelling to the affect areas are advised to drive carefully and observe signs for directions. Traffic Marshals and Auxiliary Police will be on scene to guide motorists.
