A 43-year-old man was arrested after stealing a woman’s car at knifepoint, crashing it into a lamp post and then having a standoff with officers near Woodlands Checkpoint today (Jan 5).

A Stomper alerted Stomp to videos posted on Facebook by Eric Yau of the incident.

In the first video, the man is seen holding a weapon and waving it at an officer who approaches him.

He walks around with the weapon while making gestures.

In the second video, a man appears to be lying on the ground with a group of officers circling him.

In the videos, debris is also seen scattered on the road and a red car appears to have crashed into a barrier.

In response to Stomp’s media queries, a police spokesman said that they were alerted to the case along Upper Bukit Timah Road at around 1.32pm.

The man was suspected to be under the influence of drugs.

“Suspected drug paraphernalia, controlled drugs, a knife, an axe and a sickle were found in his possession,” said a police spokesman.

“The man has been arrested for armed robbery, possession of offensive weapons and suspected drug-related offences.

“Investigations are ongoing.”

Madam Maimunah Sapari, 51, and Mr Rosli Samad, 54, were to become grandparents with their first grandson due in January 2018 — before an accident at Port Dickson killed them.

A runaway tipper truck had sped through a T-junction in Jalan Lukut Sepang on Wednesday (Jan 3) at 2.30pm, ploughed through a Honda Stream which the Singaporean family of four were travelling on.

The accident involved five vehicles – The Singapore register Honda Stream and tipper truck, as well as a Mercedes-Benz SUV, Perodua Myvi and motorcycle.

The passengers on the Honda, Madam Maimunah, Ms Nur Amalina Rosli, 21, and Ms Dayana Sarah Rosli, 18, died at the scene, while Mr Rosli, died while being conveyed to Seremban Hospital.

A family member told Shin Min Daily News that the family had set off at dawn.

They drove to Kuala Lumpur for a vacation but subsequently ran into the accident on their way to Port Dickson.

The family member revealed that the couple’s two sons, Muhammad Asyraf, 27, and Muhammad Hamka, 24, had skipped the trip.

Mr Hamka co-manages Mr Rosli’s motorbike dealership business with him and had stayed behind to manage the business in his stead.

Another female relative told the paper that Asyraf’s wife was pregnant and was scheduled to deliver the family’s first grandson this month.

Mr Ashraf had chosen to forgo the trip to stay behind in Singapore to look after his wife.

Unfortunately, neither Mr Rosli nor Madam Maimunah managed to see their grandchild.

Mr Rosli has eight siblings, and when reporters visited the family’s flat, they observed over 20 family members gathered there.

Mr Rosli’s mother, looking distraught, sat in a wheelchair in the living room.

A spokesman said that the rest of the family was alerted to the accident after photos and videos of the accident went viral on social media.

Although they have since told Mr Rosli’s mother about the tragedy, they are reluctant to show her the graphic images.

The Singaporean family of four who died in an accident at Port Dickson after a runaway tipper truck ploughed through the Honda Stream which they had been travelling in, were buried at the Muslim cemetery on late Thursday night (Jan 4).

The four include three passengers -Madam Maimunah Sapari, 51, Ms Nur Amalina Rosli, 21, and Ms Dayana Sarah Rosli, 18 – who died at the scene, and the driver, Mr Rosli Samad, 54, who later expired while he was being conveyed to Seremban Hospital.

Hundreds gathered at the cemetery in Choa Chu Kang at 9.55pm on Thursday to receive the convoy of three minivans that had travelled from Malaysia, bearing the bodies of the four.

After prayers, they were buried next to one another.

The funerals stretched on past midnight into the early morning of Friday (Jan 5).

The family of four is survived by Madam Maimunah and Mr Rosli’s two sons, Muhammad Asyraf, 27, and Muhammad Hamka, 24, who had skipped the family trip.

A cousin of Madam Maimunah who identified himself as Mr Ramian told The Straits Times:

“They were a very good, very close family… I’ve known Maimunah since we were kids, she was always happy-go-lucky.”

Madam Maimunah’s brother, Sarifudin Sapari, 52, said that the family was tight-knit.

The couple’s daughters, Ms Dayana and Ms Nur Amalina, were studying nursing at the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) and starting studies in a private university respectively.

Mr Sarifudin added:

“Both daughters were very filial and well liked by family members and peers.”

A former classmate of Ms Nur Amalin’s at Teck Whye Secondary, Ms Suhaila Jainudin, 20, said:

“Amalina was always adorable and funny in class… kind of a class clown.”

Mr Rosli’s long-time friend and customer, Mr Azman Mohamed, 55, said he was shocked to learn about the tragedy.

He had visited Mr Rosli’s motorcycle dealership which was co-managed by Mr Hamka but discovered that it was closed.

After failing to get in contact with Mr Rosli, he called Mr Hamka and was told about the accident.

He said:

“I heard people crying when he (Mr Hamka) answered the phone. I saw the news about it but I didn’t know it was Rosli.”

Mr Azman who works as a part-time security guard said he met Mr Rosli back in 1992, who was working at a workshop in Bukit Merah.

Mr Rosli later started his own dealership business in Eunos, before moving to Kaki Bukit about eight years ago.

Said Mr Azman:

“He was friendly, always with a smile, and very knowledgeable – the moment you went into his workshop, he could spot what the problem with the bike was.

“He was also very honest. If the brake pad was still in good condition, he would say ‘don’t change’.

“He would fix what needed to be fixed.”

Another of Mr Rosli’s customer, Mr Benjamin Oh, 35, said that Mr Rosli was ‘warm and friendly… and had a strong following among the Harley and cruiser bike enthusiasts as he was one of the best mechanics for such bikes.’
