50-year-old woman kept 79 dogs in Sembawang landed home, far exceeding 3-dog limit
Ivan Lim TNP July 25, 2025 A 50-year-old woman has been charged with keeping 79 dogs - mostly miniature poodles - in a landed property in Sembawang without licences and failing to microchip them. Singaporean Julia Moss faces 82 charges, the bulk of which relate to not licensing the dogs, Lianhe Zaobao reported. She is accused of housing the animals at a property along Wak Hassan Drive on Aug 28, 2024 - far exceeding the legal limit of three dogs for a private property. Moss also allegedly failed to meet the deadline to microchip the animals by Aug 27, 2024, a requirement imposed by the Director-General of Animal Health and Welfare on May 29 last year. On Jan 25 this year, she allegedly did not inform the authorities of her plans to relocate the dogs. The address listed in the charge was for another house, also along Wak Hassan Drive. She is further accused of failing to provide the Director-General with the new address where the dogs were moved to, which contravenes the Animals and Birds Act. The case has been adjourned for Moss to engage legal counsel. She is expected to return to court on Aug 20. According to animal welfare organisation Voices For Animals, they managed to rehome 37 of the 79 dogs. For keeping more than three dogs on a private property, Moss faces a fine of up to $5,000. For failing to microchip the dogs as directed, she could be jailed for up to 12 months, fined up to $10,000, or both. Each charge of owning an unlicensed dog carries a fine of up to $5,000. Failing to inform the authorities before relocating the animals could result in a jail term of up to six months, a fine of up to $5,000, or both.

Forum: Sort out issues before imposing new taxi cancellation policies
I refer to the article ' ComfortDelGro to introduce new taxi cancellation, waiting fee policy ' (July 16). I used to book a taxi via the CDG Zig app quite often, but have been avoiding it lately for several reasons. Often, I get a notification that the taxi has arrived when it has not, and this makes me worry that I may be charged a late fee. There have also been instances where the taxi driver went to the wrong place and concluded that I did not turn up. He would leave after indicating a 'no show'. In one perplexing incident, the driver took my call, then proceeded to key it in as completed – meaning the destination had been reached – and charged me for the ride. It was only after I sent a screenshot, showing that he had started and ended the journey within the same minute, to customer service that I managed to get a refund. I often have taxi drivers not being able to locate my home, but this happens less often with the private-hire services. I hope ComfortDelGro will sort out the issues mentioned before imposing new taxi cancellation policies. Do Su Ern (Dr) Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

ComfortDelGro to discipline taxi driver who threw wheelchair but reveals passengers were relatives of drive
Photo: SGRV FB SINGAPORE: ComfortDelGro has confirmed that it will be taking disciplinary action against a taxi driver who was caught on camera throwing a wheelchair onto the ground and manhandling a passenger during a heated incident that unfolded in Redhill on July 18. The company, however, also indicated that the passengers did not pay the fare and were relatives of the driver The incident, which took place at about 1.30pm in front of Block 71 Redhill Road, was captured on a vehicle's dashcam and uploaded by SG Road Vigilante to Facebook on Friday (19 July), quickly going viral. In the footage, a blue ComfortDelGro taxi is seen stationary at a zebra crossing with its left-side doors already open. A red plastic bag is thrown out of the vehicle, shortly before a passenger alights to pick it up. Moments later, the female driver steps out, opens the boot, and hurls a folded wheelchair onto the pavement. A second passenger exits the vehicle, and the first returns briefly to retrieve another item. The cab driver then slams the doors shut and is seen physically pulling one of the passengers out of her way before shutting the boot and getting back into the driver's seat. The dashcam footage was captioned: 'Not to put her job at risk, but her attitude towards them was truly unacceptable. The old lady was crying, by the way.' A ComfortDelGro spokesperson has since confirmed to Stomp that the company is aware of the video and has launched an investigation. 'The well-being and respectful treatment of all our passengers is paramount,' the spokesperson said, 'The actions of the cabby are unacceptable and do not reflect the professional standards we uphold.' The company clarified that the passengers involved were not fare-paying customers, but relatives of the driver. 'Our investigations reveal that the incident was a personal dispute involving the cabby and her own family members, who were being ferried in the vehicle at the time,' the spokesperson added. 'Nonetheless, we take a serious view of any misconduct by our cabbies. We will be addressing this matter internally with the cabby concerned and will take appropriate disciplinary action in accordance with our company policies.' ComfortDelGro has not disclosed the specific disciplinary measures being considered.
