SG: 9 caught for drink-driving

9 motorists were caught last Friday morning for driving under the influence of alcohol in a raid in the Geylang area. The operation, which involved the Police Department as well as the SCDF, nabbed 87 suspects. They raided shophouses, coffee shops and back-alleys in the vicinity of Geylang, whilst also setting up road blocks. A total of 25 motorists were pulled over and tested for alcohol consumption at road blocks. 9 of the motorists, which are all men aged between 25 and 57, were arrested for drink driving, with the highest Breath Evidential Analyser test result registering 56 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath, slightly less than twice that of the legal limit which is more than the prescribed legal limit of 35 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath.

SG: CTE closed due to trailer incident
A trailer which broke down along the CTE left another oil spill on local roads on Wednesday. The spill was close to an exit on the CTE, necessitating the closure of Chin Swee tunnel, the Merchant Road entrance and the Havelock Road exit at around 1:00pm. No one was hurt in the incident. Clean up was done, and the tunnel eventually reopened in stages from 6:00pm to about 8:50pm. Upon receiving the call for assistance, the SCDF sent 2 fire engines along with solvents to break down the spilt oil. Several portions of the oil spill cannot be washed off, and the LTA has plans to resurface the affected portion of the road.Pictures used for illustration purposes only.

SG: More City Direct Services to be introduced
Residents in Marsiling,Woodlands, Pasir Ris, Tampines East, Simei, Yew Tee and Yishun will have more options for their daily commute to and from the Central Business District, as the LTA will implement 5 addition City Direct Services from Q2 2015. This will bring the total number of CDS to 15. These buses will stop at several bus stops in the estates, but would spend the bulk of their time plying the expressways, which should mean having comparable journey times to taking a feeder bus or LRT and transferring to the MRT into the city. The LTA has called a tender to invite private bus operators to submit their cost proposals to operate the five new CDS today. The tendering process will allow the most cost-efficient operator(s) to win the rights to operate the services. It is hoped that the CDS will bolster the services provided by the 2 public transport service providers.  Pictures used for illustration purposes only.
