酒后与夫吵架 辣少妇芽笼跳天桥

百人死命推挤,涌上前看少妇;少妇泪满面要挣脱手铐:“我没做错事!”;更多现场报道,看今天《新明日报》。

与夫吵架,辣装少妇大闹芽笼,脚跨围栏,欲跳天桥,幸被夫及时拉住,20警员到场,铐逮捕她。

这起闹剧发生在昨晚8时许,地点是芽笼18巷的人行天桥上。

记者赶到事发现场,一名身穿黑色吊带衣、黑色牛仔裤的少妇,已在天桥上遭警方制服,事后被强行带上警车离去。

据了解,事发前,该名少妇和丈夫在附近咖啡店喝酒,但后来两人不知何故,竟一言不合而引起了争执。两人吵个不休,离开咖啡店后,还继续闹上天桥。

由于情绪失控,少妇甚至激动地双脚跨出天桥围栏,准备要跳下。幸好在关键的那一刹那,丈夫及时出手捉住少妇,才制止了一场悲剧,场面令人惊心动魄。

虽然捡回一条命,但少妇欲跳天桥的一幕却被附近的警察看到,结果不到5分钟的时间,天桥底下就出现了五六辆警车,近20多名警员到场。

不久后,五六名警察跑上天桥,迅速将少妇制服及逮捕,并且被把她带下天桥,送回警局。

They bond over TNP$

Newlyweds win widescreen TV with TNP$600,000 bid

THEY spent many nights together huddled on the floor of their living room, cutting, counting and sorting The New Paper Dollars (TNP$).

HAPPY COUPLE: Mr and Mrs Koh with the TNP$ they collected. TNP PICTURE: HAN YONGMING

For newlyweds Benjamin and Priscilla Koh, The New Paper Auction not only won them a 47' Philips TV sponsored by Courts, it also provided them with a chance to bond.

The couple won with a bid of more than TNP$600,000.

'Every time we finished cutting and sorting, we would wash each other's hands, and compare to see whose hands were dirtier,' said Mrs Koh, 25, a private tutor, laughing.

The couple was at the Singapore Press Holdings Press Centre yesterday to have their TNP$ counted by marketing staff. It took marketing officer Emily Peh an hour to count all their TNP$.

Mr Koh, 26, a civil servant, said: 'We would often joke about spending quality time together cutting out TNP$.'

They would start cutting and sorting TNP$ at 8pm, and end as late as 1am, he said.

The couple started collecting TNP$ in early May, buying up to 400 copies of the newspaper in a day.

'Collecting TNP$ became a common goal for us,' said Mrs Koh. 'We would SMS each other every day to check how many copies we'd already bought.'

What kept them going, said Mr Koh, was the 'thrill of it'.

They were kept on their toes predicting how much TNP$ would be printed on the front page the next day.

'We got worried once because we hadn't seen the TNP$500 bill in a long time,' said Mrs Koh.

So when the TNP$500 bill was printed, they rushed to snap up copies of The New Paper - more than 400 of them, said Mr Koh.

He laughed: 'We got many weird stares at newspaper vendors when we cleared the shelves of The New Paper that day.'

The couple has since spent more than $1,000 on copies of The New Paper.

But they said it's worth every cent.

The Philips HDTV they won usually retails for $6,599.

The Courts series of The New Paper Auction ended last Sunday.
