  Must create jobs, mah

  All foreign vehicles entering Singapore must employ a co-driver. To slap the driver when he falls asleep or go the wrong way.

  Job only for licensed Singaporeans.

  Repair at Chijmes

  A worker secures metal fasteners to boarding around a collapsed area at Chijmes complex.

  The driver of a Malaysian-registered Honda Civic had lost control of her car on Sunday and ploughed into a pillar at the complex, causing the roof to crash onto her vehicle.

  A gaping hole is seen in the roof as tiles have been removed while it is propped up by metal structures. The collapsed area has been boarded up and is closed off to the public during repair work.
