The third generation Elgrand, introduced just two years ago, now offers an even more majestic exterior and improved interior refinements for greater comfort. “We have listened to our customers’ feedback on the previous Elgrand and sought to improve the minor change model by introducing a new 7-seater luxury variant for the discerning large families. We are confident that the new minor change Elgrand is able to meet any large families’ day-to-day activity with a touch of elegance and luxury,” said Mr Ron Lim, General Manager, Sales and Marketing, Tan Chong Motor Sales.

The current ERP system was put in place back in 1998. Many years have passed since then, and the system has started to show its age a little bit. That is precisely why the Singapore government will call for a tender to replace the aged ERP system with a more technically advanced next generation ERP, with expected completion by around 2020. Currently, the ERP gantries are pretty much fixed and not easily programmable. However, the new gantries have been designed to charge a car not by the amount of gantries it passes by, but by the number of times a car has used a certain congested stretch of road. It can also aid in navigation, help replace the current system of parking with coupons, and provide up to date traffic information. Pictures used for illustration purposes only.

One would probably have seen the viral video of a Merc charging through the security barrier at Woodlands Checkpoint by now. We have done a news report on it yesterday, and there is an update to the whole fiaso. The 64 year old has been charged in court yesterday for not only committing a rash act, but also for injuring a police officer and vandalism. Tan was supposed to spend a week at the Jurong Police Division headquarters being questioned and remanded. He hoped that due to medical issues, the remand period could be shortened to 4 days. However, his request was rejected, and instead, police were told to report and inform his condition to their superiors. This is the first such incident where the barriers have failed. Further measures may be put in place to ensure Singapore’s checkpoints will be more secure.Pictures used for illustration purposes only.
