据《新明日报》报导,上周三(2日)晚上警方在芽笼16巷路口处,曾进行一次扫荡行动,取缔非法摆摊,至少4名摊贩、合共1千多元的货物被充公,血本无归之外,还得接过300元罚单! 被充公的包括鞋子、衣物、旧收音机、手机零件等旧货。一名56岁小贩透露,五年前失业后就无法找到正职,即使有领取援助金也不够开销,结果上月才冒险在芽笼摆摊。 而这名林姓小贩的旧货还是别人寄卖的,但现在全被充公了,还要欠别人500元。另一摊贩莫哈末纳威则透露,过去曾在结霜桥旧货市场摆摊,前天才过来芽笼这里,结果才摆了两晚就出事。 结霜桥旧货市场已有近80年历史,在2017年7月10日结业,过去是民众去“寻宝”,找一些得意古玩或珍稀用品的去处。 随着结霜桥旧货市场的结束,不少小贩也迁移他处,或是断了生计。有者被迫冒险“跑地牛”,当起非法摊贩。 但也有近20名摊贩,在餐馆老板The Peranakan创办人之一兼主厨邱垂文和义工组织Saturday Movement携手帮助下,在吉兰丹路第28座组屋楼下的两间店铺重新开业。 至于由本地导演陈碧云(音译,Tan Biyun)执导的独立电影《好公民》,也记录一对60多岁前结霜桥摊贩的际遇,掀开光线表面,揭示本地“贫困老人”的生活。

10月23日,大法官梅达顺批准了前女佣巴蒂(Parti Liyani),向涉及检控其案件的两名主控官,发起纪律研讯。 被要求答辩的是两名署理检控官 (DPP)Tan Wee Hao和Tan Yanying。大法官认为,从表面证据显示,两名副检察官有误导法庭之嫌,使得巴蒂在法庭面对审讯时遭受不公对待。 据《海峡时报》报导,总检察署发言人证实,面对提控的上述两名主控官,Tan Yanying寻求本地知名大状文达星协助辩护,以及Tan Wee Hao寻求艾伦格禧律师事务所的Jason Chan高级律师辩护。 不过,此次代表巴蒂的律师则是朱正熙和 Peter Low,至于先前协助她辩护偷窃案官司的阿尼尔,则会作为证人。 文达星目前正代表总理李显龙,提控《网络公民》主编许渊臣,以及在另一诉讼提控时评人梁实轩。 若巴蒂对司法官员不当行为的申诉,获得大法官允准进行调查,当局将设立纪律审裁庭,以调查相关申诉并提成给大法官,后者有权作出惩处,或驳回有关申诉。 若违反律师专业法令下,一些相关惩处包括被剔除职务、罚款最高2万元,或任何纪律审裁庭认为合适的处罚。 巴蒂再去年被国家法院判监禁26个月,惟在今年9月4日,终获高庭推翻判决,沉冤得雪。巴蒂一案近两周来引起国人议论,并关注女佣在整个审讯中处于弱势的地位。高庭法官陈成安判决中,更形容廖家父子报警可能存在“不当意图”,被告有充分理由投诉人力部,而廖家“先下手为强”将他开除。
