After learning that his sister-in-law's car had caught fire in Sengkang on Aug 25, Mr Shee Gim Cheng, 45, immediately called The New Paper hotline to alert us to the incident.

The manager said: "I wanted to raise awareness so the relevant authorities would know about it."

He has been a loyal TNP reader for 29 years and reads both the print and online versions daily.

In another incident, Mr Joshua De Rozario e-mailed TNP to relate how his friend was hit in a road accident in Johor Baru and later died.

Wanting to inform the public on what to do if they are in a similar situation, Mr De Rozario, 25, a student, said: "TNP was the first paper that came to mind."

The report was published last Thursday.

Corporal First Class Liu Kai, 22, died on Nov 3, 2018, after a Bionix armoured vehicle reversed into a Land Rover he was driving. He had been taking part in a field training exercise in the Jalan Murai training area.
