Malaysian worker dies after being attacked by white tigers at zoo

Cannot believe it happens to Singapore. Hope the man doesn’t dies in great pain.

SINGAPORE: A Malaysian contract worker died after being attacked by three white tigers at the Singapore Zoo on Thursday.

The worker has been identified as Nordin Bin Montong. Zoo officials said the 32—year—old had jumped into a moat at the white tiger enclave and was subsequently mauled to death by the white tigers.

Police said they received a report at 12.30pm about a man sustaining neck injuries at the zoo. Paramedics were called to the scene and Nordin was pronounced dead at 12.45pm.

Biswajit Guha, assistant director, Singapore Zoo, said: “Prior to the incident, the zookeepers had actually noticed that the contract worker was behaving erratically.

“He was throwing things around and as he was walking out of the zoo, he passed comments like ’Goodbye, you won’t see me again’. He later cycled back and 5 minutes later, the alarm went off.”

Nordin had jumped off the ledge into the water and once he was inside the enclave, the three white tigers mauled him for five to ten minutes, while 20 zookeepers tried desperately to save him by distracting the animals.

They were too late, as were the two licensed rifle shooters who were called to the scene.

As a precautionary measure, the white tiger exhibit has been temporarily closed and the 9—year—old tigers, which came from Indonesia, are in confinement for now.

Zoo officials said once the police finish their investigations, they would examine if there is a need to further enhance safety measures.

Singapore Zoo added that it is natural for tigers to pounce on any prey and there is no reason to sedate the animals.

Singapore economy slips into recession!! Do you feel it?

I dont feel it yet. But indeed spending is a lot higher now. It seems like I need to top up the cash card very regularly and I spend more money for this few months. Do you feel it? Have you stop driving?

SINGAPORE (AFP) - - Singapore’s trade-sensitive economy has declined for a second straight quarter, the government said Friday, meaning the city-state has entered a recession for the first time in six years.

The Ministry of Trade and Industry also revised downwards Singapore’s full-year growth forecast to around three percent, citing a slowdown in the global economy and key domestic sectors.

In a move to confront the downturn, the Monetary Authority of Singapore — its de facto central bank — said it was easing monetary policy for the first time in more than four years.

Singapore is Southeast Asia’s wealthiest economy in terms of gross domestic product (GDP) per capita but is heavily dependent on trade.

This makes it sensitive to hiccups in developed economies, particularly key export markets the United States and Europe.

The data mean that Singapore is the first Asian economy to fall into a technical recession, DBS Group Research said.

The impact of a worsening US financial crisis and deepening credit crunch have weakened US consumer sentiment, which will affect demand from Asia and the rest of the world, Singapore’s trade ministry said.

On a seasonally adjusted quarter-on-quarter annualised basis, real GDP declined by 6.3 percent in the third quarter after contracting 5.7 percent in the previous quarter, the ministry said.

While it did not describe the economy as being in recession, a technical recession is generally defined as two consecutive quarters of contraction in economic output.

Economists polled by Dow Jones Newswires had forecast a 0.3 percent quarter-on-quarter rise in GDP, the value of goods and services produced in the economy.

Compared with the third quarter of last year, the ministry said Singapore’s economy contracted by 0.5 percent in real terms, against 0.8 percent expansion foreseen in the Dow Jones poll.

In August the government had revised down its full-year GDP forecast to 4.0-5.0 percent but since then, external economic conditions have deteriorated more than expected and some sectors of the economy have weakened significantly because of industry-specific or domestic factors, the ministry said.

“Singapore’s export-oriented sectors, such as manufacturing, will be affected,” it added.

Analysts said the key drag on third-quarter growth was manufacturing, and the surprise was a sharp decline in growth of what has been a booming construction sector.

Trade ministry data estimated that manufacturing contracted by 11.5 percent year-on-year in the third quarter, more than the 4.9 percent drop in the previous quarter.

Construction growth slowed to 7.8 percent from 19.8 percent, and service industries grew by 6.1 percent, marginally down from 7.0 percent in the second quarter, the data showed.

“Services deceleration should get more severe from here on,” the US bank Morgan Stanley said in a report.

Last year the economy expanded 7.7 percent but after years of growth, signs of a slowdown emerged with recent disappointing trade data and contractions in the manufacturing sector, which includes the export-dependent electronic and pharmaceutical industries.

Morgan Stanley said things will likely only get worse for Singapore.

With external conditions deteriorating and the lack of domestic demand support, Morgan Stanley forecast virtually zero growth of 0.2 percent year-on-year for 2009.

It said Singapore’s recession will likely be more than just a technical one.

In a speech Friday, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said that although growth is slowing, the financial system is sound and the economy remains competitive.

Singapore’s last technical recession occurred in 2002 while the most recent full-scale recession was in 2001, when the economy contracted 2.4 percent during the year.

The government’s preliminary third-quarter GDP estimates are based largely on data from July and August, and are subject to revision.

Rats fall from ceiling of Macdonald’s restaurant!! cannot imagine!

I really cannot imagine rats falling off the selling of macdonald’s as it doesnt even happen in my coffee shop downstairs. With air-con and good environment, how can rats be hiding inside macdonald’s celling?

On September 8, STOMP received an e-mail from STOMPer Nightwind about his encounter that involved rats falling from the ceiling of a Tampines branch of McDonald’s.

In the original e-mail, Nightwind says:

“At about 9.30pm today, September 6 2008, I was at the 24-hour Mcdonald’s outlet located at Tampines Central 1 Blk 513, between Tampines Bus Interchange and CPF building, when rats started falling from the holes in the false ceiling.

“Initially it was just a group of about five or six teenage girls who started exclaiming and screaming in the direction of my table.

“My friends and I thought that maybe a cat wandered into the restaurant and we started looking around.

“The intermittent screaming also attracted the stares of surrounding patrons.

“My friends started noticing small black objects falling from the ceiling.

“It’s then that two rats fell from the ceiling behind me and landed on the floor inches away from me. More screaming.

“Everyone then quickly cleared the area under the false ceiling.

“The teenage girls — still screaming — quickly left the restaurant.

“More than half a dozen baby rats fell from the ceiling and were scurrying everywhere.

“The McDonald’s staff scrambled to chase after the rats.

“They were also trying to assure everyone that there were no more rats in the ceiling.

“The manager and staff quickly caught several of the baby rats, and took them outside the restaurant, presumably to throw them onto the grass patches.

“They continued to assure everyone that there were no more rats, and that’s when another baby rat poked out from one of the ceiling holes.

“I took a picture with my phone at this time, though the rat cannot be clearly seen.

“The manager climbed onto a chair and tried to hit the baby rat to dislodge it, and the rat fell onto the floor stunned.

“He then picked up the rat and ran outside. The rest of the staff quickly caught the rest of the rats and removed them from the premises.

“Failing to convince anyone that there are no more rats in the ceiling, the staff then put up notices not to occupy those seats, and started taping black plastic bags to the ceiling holes.

“Many patrons were puzzled regarding the ‘reserved seats’ and the covered holes in the ceiling.

“McDonald’s did not provide any explanation, try to talk to any of the patrons, or make any further effort to prevent anyone from occupying the seats beneath the false ceiling.

“They basically tried to pretend that nothing ever happened.

“By the time I left, about 1 hour 30 minutes after the ‘rat fallout’, several of the taped up black bags were already starting to fall off.

“I think that McDonald’s is rather irresponsible in that they had no guarantee that no rats were going to be falling from their ceiling again, letting people sit beneath the ceiling holes.

“I’ve had some experience with dealing with rats from my army days, and seeing that all the rats that fell are baby rats, there’s probably a whole infestation of rats in the ceiling.

“So I am very sure there are more rats in there.

“Following the incident, I have made a call to NEA and The New Paper.

“As I patronise this outlet frequently, I hope they can clean up soon.

“I shudder to think of rats falling on my head next time.”

STOMP has since contacted McDonald’s regarding the issue and in a response dated September 9, Linda Ming, a Senior Communications Manager for the company, says:

“We refer to your query dated 8 September 2008, prompted by a customer email on rodents falling from the ceiling.

“At McDonald’s, we are committed to providing our customers with an enjoyable dining experience in a clean and safe environment.

“Cleanliness is one of the basic fundamentals that we never compromise on in this business.

“Apart from rigorous daily cleaning and regular maintenance and checks, we also work very closely with the relevant agencies and community to maintain the highest standards of cleanliness in our restaurants and trading area.

“We have investigated the incident with representatives from the Tampines Town Council and the National Environment Agency (NEA). As the ceiling area is not exclusive to McDonald’s, the Town Council will be working closely with NEA to trace and eliminate the source of the problem.

“Additionally, to ensure the incident will not recur in our restaurant, we are taking immediate steps to seal up access to the ceiling above the restaurant.

“The situation is the first and an isolated one.

“Please be assured that we will continue to co-operate with the Town Council and NEA to monitor the situation very closely”.

Maggots inside my curry sauce from Macdonald’s! horrified with pictures!

I got this email from my colleague. I love Mac curry sauce but i have to becareful next time i eat.

__________________________________________________ ______________________

I went to the outlet at Compasspoint(Sengkang) on 3 Sep 08 at about 10pm. I ordered 2 Double Cheeseburger and a 9 Pcs Chicken Nuggets. After which I asked for Curry Sauce and Chilli Sauce to take away.

When i got home, which was a short 2 mins ride, TO MY HORROR, when i opened the packet of curry sauce, i was greeted with a “smell” and there were many tiny maggots crawling inside with a portion of the curry sauce which have turned black and harden and possibly rotting.

I wrote in to feedback to Macdonalds the same night, and this morning (4 Sep) i had a call from a Business Manager apologising for this encounter, the first thing she asked was if i had kept the packet of curry sauce! The maggots were crawling out, obviously i had it disposed as soon as i took the photos, and in our conversation she also mentioned that this is not isolated to the outlet at Compasspoint! It was island wide as it could be a supplier problem. I think it is ridiculous! She also told me there were a few complaints already.

Shouldn’t they stop giving out curry sauce while pending investigation? It was “fortunate” for me that the rotting and maggots were visible. For those packets which have not turned black may have maggots swimming in the sauce which is not known to the consumer. I asked her if they do check the expiry date of the sauces, she mentioned that the turnover for curry sauce is very high thus unlikely it would hit past the expiry date. Then my question is, if it is not even past its expiry date and it is rotting with maggots, what’s going on???

This just serves as a warning to fellow Macdonalds consumers to watch out before dipping your food into curry sauce, you may not know what is swimming and growing in there…
