A 28-year-old man was arrested for a string of offences, including dangerous driving and driving under the influence of an intoxicating substance, said the police on April 26.
He was also arrested for driving a vehicle without insurance coverage and driving without valid road tax, they added.
Checks on OneMotoring showed that the Mercedes-Benz GLC300 hybrid car's road tax had expired in December 2024.
The police said they were alerted at 12.55pm on April 25 to an accident involving three cars and a motorcycle at the junction of Punggol Field and Edgedale Plains.
The motorcyclist, 34, was taken to the hospital while conscious.
In a video on social media, a white car is seen driving against the flow of traffic.
Subsequently, the same white car is seen with its front-end crumpled, while other cars and a SingPost three-wheeled motorcycle, which is flipped over, appear to be damaged.
Police investigations are ongoing.

Car catches fire in Bidadari area, no injuries reported
A car caught fire near Woodleigh Mall on Aug 10, but no injuries were reported. The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it was alerted to a fire in Bidadari Park Drive at 12.40pm. Images taken from social media show that it occurred next to a bus stop. A compressed air foam jet used to extinguish the fire, said the SCDF, adding that there were no reported injuries. The cause of the fire is under investigation. A resident whose home faces the main road where the fire occurred told The Straits Times: "We could feel the heat from our house. Can't imagine what our first responders feel." A Telegram group for residents of the Woodleigh Hillside estate had messages from residents complaining of a strong smell of gas in the air after the incident. Others reported seeing thick, dark smoke in the area and advised one another to wear masks when heading out. Video footage shared on Telegram shows a man standing near a red car as smoke emerges from under its front bonnet. Other videos show bright orange flames billowing from the car as SCDF officers approach it. In a picture of the aftermath, the shell of the car appears entirely white, with its doors held shut with yellow tape. This is the third report of a car being on fire in the past week. No injuries were reported in both prior incidents.

‘Every day, we think about how to upgrade': China's factories see rise in robot adoption
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Robotic arms lift freshly pressed plastic parts out of hot metal moulds and onto a conveyor belt at Midea's air-conditioner factory in Guangzhou. – When Mr Sun Huihai first began working at a factory in the southern manufacturing belt of Guangdong some 13 years ago, his colleagues were all humans. Now, they are joined by more than 200 robots that can work around the clock, seven days a week, to help produce air-conditioners for home appliances giant Midea. Rows of bright orange robot arms whir at all hours of the day, fishing freshly pressed plastic parts out of hot metal moulds and onto a long conveyor belt. Driverless robots with blinking lights store these parts in a multi-storey warehouse, and later take them to be assembled into units that are sold in China and around the world. The number of robots put to work on the factory floor increases every year, said Mr Sun, 37, who heads the plant's engineering department. 'Every day, we think about how to upgrade and make manufacturing here more intelligent,' he told The Straits Times. Scenes like this have become more common across China, as the 'factory of the world' turns to robotics to sustain and turbocharge its manufacturing juggernaut. Top stories Swipe. Select.

China now has the world's third-highest density of robots in its manufacturing industry, trailing South Korea and Singapore in first and second place respectively, according to the International Federation of Robotics' figures for 2023, the latest available. Their deployment is poised to increase further as China continues its transition from low-value, labour-intensive production to advanced manufacturing – a national priority. 'At any given time, China cannot do without the manufacturing industry,' said Chinese President Xi Jinping in 2023. 'The state will strongly support the development of high-end manufacturing.' Policymakers in China, wary of the hollowing out of industries which can occur when countries get richer, have long pushed for greater automation to keep factories competitive. A decade ago, the government rolled out 'Made in China 2025', a plan to upgrade manufacturing and become a production hub for high-tech sectors such as robots. Rebates, subsidies and other incentives have been offered to encourage factories to automate. A rise in domestic production of industrial robots has also reduced prices, making the machines more affordable. Factories in China pumped out nearly 370,000 of such robots in the first half of 2025, up 35.6 per cent from the previous year, according to figures from the National Bureau of Statistics. At the Midea factory in Nansha, Guangzhou, where Mr Sun works, there are 204 robotic arms and 82 automated guided vehicles. They are supplied by Kuka, a German industrial robot giant which the Chinese company bought over. One section of the plant, where plastic parts for the air-conditioner are moulded and retrieved, is dubbed a 'dark (heideng)' area. It is so named because of the high degree of automation: In theory, it can run without humans or any lights on, but in practice, it is brightly lit here at the plant. Not every part of the factory is as automated, a costly endeavour. Humans are needed to staff assembly lines, maintain the machines, and check the quality of manufactured parts. The facility employs some 4,000 workers during peak season, Mr Sun said. Mr Sun Huihai, 37, has worked for 13 years at Midea's air-conditioner factory in Guangzhou.

'Dark factories' have become a buzzword to describe the most advanced of China's production facilities. Such operations have reportedly been adopted by companies ranging from home appliance giants Xiaomi and Gree to automakers Changan and Zeekr. As robot adoption picks up pace, one question that arises is: What will happen to the more than 100 million workers whom China's manufacturing sector employs? The automation drive has at times been dubbed 'replace humans with robots (jiqi huanren)'. In 2021, Gree's chairman said that the company's 'dark factory' had slashed the need for workers at the plant from 10,000 to 1,000. In Mr Sun's telling, employment at Midea's air-conditioner factory has remained roughly unchanged from a decade ago. What has changed, he said, is productivity. The number of air-conditioners the factory produces has more than tripled from 2015, company figures show. Academics Nicole Wu and Sun Zhongwei, who interviewed and surveyed factory workers in southern China just prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, found that these individuals were not too concerned about robots just yet. 'Contrary to the more pessimistic assessments of automation, most manufacturing workers in Guangdong – who are buffered by steady increases in demand and a chronic labour shortage – appear to be unfazed by technological change at present,' they wrote in a paper published in 2025. China now has the world's third-highest density of robots in its manufacturing industry. ST PHOTO: JOYCE ZK LIM As China's birth rate falls and the population grows more educated, it has become more difficult for factory bosses to fill jobs, said Professor Sun Zhongwei, who studies industrial relations and social security at the South China Normal University. He is not worried that the automation drive will go so far as to undermine the manufacturing jobs often seen as a means of stabilising employment, because market forces are at play. Automation is a rational process, and industrial robots are a sizeable investment, Prof Sun said. 'Companies will need to calculate whether the cost of the machinery justifies the wages saved.' Still, he added, the biggest losers as manufacturing goes high-tech are lower-educated, older migrant workers who lack the skills to remain relevant. Many will have to return to their rural homes to do odd jobs, while others might find employment as service staff. Back at the Midea factory, Mr Wang Liangcai, 26, an engineer, believes that his job is safe from automation for now. 'Equipment still needs to be maintained, it can't do so itself,' he said. 'But if you think about the long run... we also don't know how things will be.'

4 foreigners arrested after Rail Corridor search suspected to be part of housebreaking syndicate, Singapore News
The four Chinese nationals who were arrested after a police search operation near the Rail Corridor on Friday (Aug 8) are suspected to be members of a criminal housebreaking syndicate. The quartet, aged between 36 and 41, were found to possess housebreaking implements such as screwdrivers and spanners. At a media conference on Sunday (Aug 10), the police said they had been conducting housebreaking operations in the vicinity of the Rail Corridor and Bukit Timah Road on Friday evening. Patrolling officers had spotted the men running into a forested area, and a joint operation involving the Gurkha and Special Operations Command was activated to comb the area. According to The Straits Times, officers were spotted searching near Greenleaf Place and a drone was seen flying over the nearby forested area. During the search operation, two men were arrested at the forested areas near the Rail Corridor. The third man was arrested at a mall near Clementi that night, while the fourth man was arrested on Saturday (Aug 9) morning at a hotel in Geylang. AC Serene Chiu, Commander of Clementi Police Division, said the quartet had arrived in Singapore from Malaysia via Woodlands Checkpoint on social visit passes on Aug 8. Three of the suspects have previous Singapore entry records, and it is believed that they are known to each other. The men did not look like "typical parkgoers" and had fled when approached by police at the Rail Corridor, she said. The suspects were found to be carrying housebreaking implements as well as clothing and cash amounting to over $400. Their passports were seized when the last suspect was apprehended at the Geylang hotel. AC Chiu said the police believe the men may be linked to three housebreaking-related cases reported in the vicinity of Rail Corridor between April and July. Of the three, one is a case of attempted housebreaking. The two other housebreaking reports saw about $60,000 worth of luxury watches and jewellery stolen from the homes. "Through effective coordination and sensemaking by the police, the four men were arrested in less than 24 hours from the time they entered Singapore, and before they could commit a house-breaking," AC Chiu said. "The police will spare no efforts to apprehend persons who enter Singapore to commit crime and will deal with them to the fullest extent of the law." Investigations are ongoing. The four men will be charged in court on Aug 10 for the possession of housebreaking implements with common intention. If found guilty, they may be jailed for up to two years, or fined, or both. Spate of recent housebreaking cases In December 2024, two Chinese nationals were arrested for breaking into a landed property at Greenleaf View and stealing valuables including watches and jewellery. Zhang Yongxiang, 52, had climbed into the home via an adjacent house that was under construction while Feng Yunlong, 38, kept a lookout outside. They were both sentenced to 15 months' jail on June 24, reported CNA. [[nid:712697]] Between June 1 and Aug 4, 2024, 10 housebreaking cases were reported in Singapore, with most cases happening at the private residential estates in the vicinity of the Rail Corridor and Bukit Timah Road. The police have since stepped up prevention measures, including deploying additional cameras and stepping up patrols. [[nid:697687]]
