A completely burnt vehicle seen on Race Course Road.
I was really surprised to read about how the first riot in Singapore since 40 years started.
Last night, a 33 year old Indian died after being run over by a bus in Little India; and that was how the riot started.
Yahoo News reported that two police cars were overturned as the front mirrors were crashed while 25 emergency vehicles were damaged and five vehicles were set on fire in the riot at the Race Course Road and Hampshire Road.

A crowd set fire to vehicles and clashed with police in the Indian district of Singapore late on Sunday, in a rare outbreak of rioting in the city state. Television footage showed a crowd of people smashing the windscreen of a bus, and at least three police cars being flipped over. The Singapore Police Force said the riot started after a fatal traffic accident in the Little India area. REUTERS/Rob Dawson (SINGAPORE – Tags: CIVIL UNREST)

SINGAPORE, Singapore : Firemen douse a charred ambulance after a riot broke out in Singapore, in the early hours of December 9, 2013. A riot broke out among South Asian workers in Singapore late in the night of December 8, damaging police cars and other vehicles in the city state’s Little India district, eyewitnesses and local media said. The rare outbreak of public disorder in strictly controlled Singapore took place in an area normally packed with thousands of workers, mostly from the Indian subcontinent, on their day off. The cause of the incident was not immediately clear and the situation was brought under control within two hours, people on the scene told AFP. AFP PHOTO / ROSLAN RAHMAN

Assalamualaikum Ahmad Ali! I am a singaporean reader and I am amazed by reading your blog.
You dont seem to have any grammatical errors and you write just fine.
I have a few questions to ask.
1. Do you study in a school or home-school?
2. Other than mastering in English language, what other languages you are able to write? How about Malay?
Have you ever heard of this quote by Hang Tuah “Takkan melayu hilang di dunia”?
Thats All. I hope you can change the Ummah to be a better servant ameen. (:
Dear Kak Aisyah,
Waalaikummusalam,
Amin. Thank you. I study at home and my mother is my teacher I have a Quran teacher and I attend MUAFAKAT’s hadith class and Kelas Bahasa Al-Quran at Pak Cik Amin‘s house. My father always takes me to seminars and talks and I learn a lot from my parents and my father’s friends. I askes them questions; for example before I write about COMANGO, I attended talks and the lawyers help me if I do not understand anything. My mother’ll make sure that I understand something before writing about it and make sure that my facts are right. If not, my mother will explain until I understand and I have to rewrite my article. I can speak Malay better than I can write (in Malay) because my Malay is always mixed with English 🙂 May be because I read mostly English books. Yes, I’ve heard of Hang Tuah’s name, but I do know much about him. I’m sorry because I’ve not heard “Takkan melayu hilang di dunia”.
Please doa that I’ll be a good Muslim. May Allah help and protect us always. Please visit my blog again
