done liao.. 2nd time with a help of a friend.....
went to pump petrol yesterday. went into the kisok and remember, huh. the tank left side or right side. park at a side and take a look. then all pumps were occupied. so i took my time.. saw one pump suddenly empty. drove up and erhem..with the help of the very helpful prc pump attendance (very nice chap).. we started chatting while he did the job for me..
suddenly one lady from the cashier side runs up to us.. where is the car..?
me and pump attendance went
.cashier said the car before pumped $75 worth and ran off... i vaguely remember it is dark colour (cos it is pretty far where i stop just now)..
poor pump attendance kana scolding.. but not his fault wat.. the bloody esso got about 10 pumps all occupied, only 2 staffs outside, how to notice and grab the idiot from running... moreover, this pump attendance was helping about 4 pumps away.. how he can see wat.... I have to tell the cashier not his fault wat...
cashier was very nice to me after that
then when i drive off, the KNN driver block the exit ..i was waiting behind him to move, as i have highbeam to signal him, he is blocking everybody going out.. he even dare to switch off engine and got off and ready to go to the mart buy things.
The same pump attendance and the customers (the nearest pump to him), scolded him and ask him to move!
Me and Mom (inside car) was grinning away...and other customers were laughing too..
They have "drive offs" in Singapore too? Surprising. I thought people there were universally law abiding.
Over here, the gas station pumps are almost always monitored with CCTVs set up to have the cars' license plates in view, so a "drive off" will usually result in the car's number being traced and the perp arrested. Drive-offs were really bad around here when gas prices were pushing US$4/gal. a few years back.

MG...
SQ is now trying to push for the Transpacific Kangaroo route again. Bet Qantas going around to start accusing SQ of being protected by PAP govt.
The real party tat's protected and subsidised is Qantas
Have been hoping SQ could fly to Sweden & Canada (but tis one is difficult as Air Canada cries for protection)

yeap.oh yes, it only affects kiddy milk powder. The adult milk powder range would still continue to be imported from Europe.
Probably due to the volume.

First I've heard of that. Air travel must be picking up for SQ to be considering route expansion.
I wonder if the planes that SQ had mothballed last year due to the downturn in air travel are back on line.

I do not think so for now. But they're hiring cabin crew again.So far I've only known NOL is thinking of bringing 5 vessels back on line for Far East - Europe route.

of course there are cameras here too, but they just do it the easier way ..... they take it out from the salaries of the pump attendants.

Fatum, do u know of tat case made by tat SDP chap lawyer M Ravi against the mandatory death sentence on a drug trafficker?
He cited the Privy Council saying death sentence is inhuman. Wa piangz, SDP loves to use ang moh to pressure MIW.
I think if they become e gabrament, worry later they kena owned by those people.

That's sad, especially when the attendant isn't largely to blame.

that's not fair... if everyday 1 car to do to them, how could the company insist attendance to pay for it... then, they should employ security personnels at every pump lor... or gentry even... hahahahahahahaahahaa
damn, that's not a bad idea actually..

because it's likely they are not going to be able to pursue e case.I mean even if there's CCTV to record tat reg number, later they find owner and say he/ she gave to friend to drive and so on.
To think of it, they've to make it equally harsh against such theft.
