Posted by temasektimes on May 13, 2012

Below is a short video clip taken of the fatal Bugis accident on the morning of 12 May 2012.

It showed clearly that the green light was on when the Comfort taxi was crossing the junction. The red Ferrari driven by PRC ‘foreign talent’ Ma Chi was speeding and beat the red light before crashing into the taxi and causing it to overturn:

  1. PAP, Beware Karma said

    The deaths of the taxi driver and his woman passenger are indirect consequences of the pro-foreigner policies of the PAP that encourage rich foreigners such as this reckless PRC Ferrari driver into our country . . . . .

    • lola said

      I couldnt agree more

      • Mohamed Ismail said

        The same goes with the ambassador who ran away after causing a death to a pedestrian, hiding in his country. This is also foreign talent.

      • The Vet said

        we must kick the pap out. more people will die, get molested, modesty outraged and raped because of this open floodgate and that is for sure. just watch. Singapore was ONCE a safe country. these bastards who only want money money and more money opened the floodgates at ALL OUR EXPENSE and no benefit to us!

      • Gofkyourself said

        I read through most of the people’s comment here and I agreed to almost everyone. Different people have different perspective views. I wouldnt say anyone is wrong, so stop blaming others for flaming someone else if it doesn’t concern you because you just being stupid yourself. As for me, I would feel that the ma-chi guy is at fault and he gotten his retribution. As for those comment against PAP I would 1000% agree with you! Besides sucking money they know nothing else. Nobody dares to voice out to this people, but I will say is, PAP beware, the next generation of voters is coming and you will LOSE!

      this is an accident. don’t be a racist

      • Erasmus said

        It’s not about being racist. We have to make that distinction about him being PRC, because this is how they drive back in their own country: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPxinqO3f8o

      • Keit said

        U must be some pro PRC supporter am i rite? its not about the race majority of Singaporeans are Chinese….. so you cant say that we’re racist can you when we’re picking on our own race. Before you decided to jump to non-nonsensical judgement go look it up the dictionary what it means to be racist u retard… this is not the 1st road accident cause by a PRC that took a life of our brother or sister but probably the what 3rd or 4th so far?

        Which has been causing a lot of problems and friction between the pappies and its people since all they know is to side that of foreigners and ignore us.

      • Itsnotracistitsjustice said

        Racist or not they are reckless race of people. And its a bonus that his rich, they think they are gods just because they have tons of money at hand. Selfish! don’t blame me for not respecting majority of them because eventually i wasn’t wrong.

      • chong_lam_heng said

        Accidents are caused if they happened unintentionally. If you purposely want to impress your girlfriend by going against a red light at high speed, that is not an accident!

      • Nationalist said

        You are not born and bred here in Singapore. You’ll never know what it is like before the invasion of uncouth immigrants like you. Singapore used to be safe until your people decided to move here

      • This is an unnecessary accident…….. the lights have already turned red for the Ferrari, yet it decides to run it and smashes into the taxi….?? what logic is that??

        Rubbish………..

    • agong said

      what about mat salleh ? ok ? you bastards

      • jon said

        You are the bastard damn you! Son of the bitch! The same to the dead PRC driver! Crazy bunch of assholes!

      • The Vet said

        mat salleh not all right. wtf director of UBS bank, drive bentley and smash up another’s car and NO JAIL TERM, NO CANING?
        IF Singaporean, sent to jail PLUS caning straight.

        WHO created all this imbalance and shit? PAP, who else???

      tkl, ang moh boot lickers

    • useful said

      yes sir , totally agree . nnb , go home la !!! come here and harm people . brainless , think you got a few stinkin money , you can be singaporean or live in singapore as if you sibbeh sek zui arh , knn go home la come here and harm others , though i know of a few prc who are good , but not all are , and this ferrari driver is one of the hai chun zhi MA !!!

    • meow said

      that’s such a brainless comment.

    • local said

      what a bunch of rascist rubbish. notable your referrence is to ang-moh’s now does this means mainland chinese and indians or just another race perception? and what you gonna do if the PAP/government changes the foreign policies? you think you are qualified ? if so, than start working on your fortune instead of being jealous of others. and fyi, get a life, instead of being a rascist.

    • James said

      Please look at the broader picture.. Not all PRC are bad, and bastard like this reckless driver, tho many drove recklessly, e.g the prc bus driver.

      Please rmb those innocent prc who come here to earn a decent living for their family back home. Example those construction workers, wanton mee seller, cleaners, blue collar workers.

      Even china investors, we did beneifited economically with their investment here as well.

      We should try to help the taxi driver family now.. Singaporean should be less selfish and be united.

      If u r one of the Singaporean kpkb about FT, steal ur job.. Then u should ask urself instead, why the employer don wan to choose u instead.. Are u lazy? Picky? Less capable? Kpkb on everything? Expect high salary tho nor even perform well.. Pui!!

      • Hiro said

        A balanced comment. Agree. There are black sheeps amongst the good and we must not brand everyone the same way.

        It is harder to win over an opponent through righteous ways than to sneer and jeer at our opponents.

        The righteous path is usually narrow and difficult to traverse.

      • hate those jokers said

        rgding jobs, put it simply, foreigners in most instances are cheaper to employ, companies don’t need to worry about cpf, if i’m a boss for monetary reasons of course i will hire the cheaper labor, it is THE GOVT’s responsibility to put in place measures to protect the interest of citizens, NOT think about how to make money from every damn opportunity…WE, CITIZENS of Singapore pay them to take care of us, not take care of foreigners, simple?

      • SingaporeanChinese said

        I am a Singaporean and I have no fear in showing I hate all you foreigners in public and I will teach all the young Singaporean I come across.

        FYI: I have a job , I have a car , I live landed, I have enough to eat and I worked hard

      • Jessie Williams II, Esq. said

        The Ugly Singaporean rears its true colours.

        Do you really deserve your jobs and women after confessing to such racist, bigoted spite?

      • Angry Bird said

        Since it’s so obvious that the fault is at the ferrari driver, sue him, sell his East Coast penthouse and his BMW to compensate the late cabby, Mr Cheng Teck Hock’s family.

      • NS men said

        No, its because we have reservists and RT on a yearly basis. You dun understand because you dun serve NS??

    • How you did even manage to link these two topics amaze me. Many of the PRCs I know are in fact very nice people and even go out of their ways to help my local friends with school work, even though we didn’t ask. Just like many societies, there are different kinds of people, same with China. There are the black sheep like the Ferrari driver, and there are good ones like my friends. It’s awfully wrong to judge people based on their nationality. I’m not a fierce supporter of the government, but it’s plain immature to simply blame everything on the government when you have no solid argument to back up your belief. Rather than make sweeping statements, try to back up your points first.

    • Hard truth said

      if you wanna see ugly Singaporeans, come to this TR site, now i know why Singapore needs FT, at least they are willing to work… These ugly Singaporeans and their brainless comment on anti FT & totally irrelevance comments to the accidents reflect serious inferiorty complex syndrome in these fugly Singaporeans. Disgrace…

      • seriously? said

        i see one fugly person right here. brainless comments on anti-singaporean and totally irrelevant comment why singapore needs FT. if you have nothing constructive to say, just shut up, no one will think you’re mute. please also learn to spell properly. you really should just burn in hell like the ma chi dude.

    • Anti Ellipsis said

      How did you even manage to link these two topics is amazing. What I see here is purely an unfortunate accident that was caused by a reckless driver’s reckless actions.

      In fact many of the PRCs I know are very nice and helpful, and even go out of their ways to help us local students with school work when we didn’t even ask them to. Like all societies, there will always be different kinds of people, China is not excluded. There are the bad sheep like the Ferrari driver, and there are the nice people like my friends. It is ridiculous and immature to judge people based on their nationality. If you can find a nation whose people are ALL equally bad or good, please, prove me wrong.

      Also, if you would like to state your point, it would be better if it is backed up by a solid argument, rather than making a sweeping remark. I am not pro- or anti-government. I just cannot stand people who blindly criticize the government and think they’re smart because they did. If you can provide me solid argument on your point, I wouldn’t hesitate to agree with you. But . . . . . does not sound very convincing to me.

      • fxxkyoualltwice@gmail.com said

        it’s amazed me that you are still sound and well till this point. well, hopefully, you can see for yourself how chinese behave in theur own motherland before you state the fact about your “kind” chinese frens. and erm. if you do really get there, perhaps a bus or car could come and run you down and just maybe you will have the time to self-reflect and ask yourself why you? and not some other pple instead. you selfish fucker.

      • @fxxkyoualltwice
        How the FUCK is standing up for my FRIENDS selfish??? What you, and all the other whiny people here are doing is generalizing a country based on a few people’s behaviour. We have different cultures, some parts of their cultures may annoy us but that doesn’t constitute having to rally to chase them out of this country.

        Reading all the comments here, I have concluded that most of you who go “you motherfucker send those PRCs home” are brainless ah beng wannabes. Even Ah Bengs have better sense of judgment of people than you guys. I’d have to get away from this place before it makes me stupid.

        To all those who support a balanced view, cheers! 🙂

    • Bullshit!!!!!! They died cause some F@@K got into his car and he was drunk and drove!!!! Simple as that. Got stuff all to do with race…govt policies. He and his trollop caused these deaths and carnage!!!!!!

    • Joe bloggs said

      Totally fed up of Singaporeans talking absolute rubbish against “foreign drivers”, especially when Singaporeans themselves have the worst driving record the world over!!! This is not about whether this person is PR, holiday maker, local or whatever… This is about a reckless driver, showing no consideration for the lives or the safety of fellow road users…

      Get it right, and stop pointing at non-Singaporeans…. Vent your anger on disgraceful and careless driving!

    • Kenneth said

      How do you suggest we stop ourselves from becoming another “japan”? We don’t want to fuck without protection these days, and if the trend goes on we will not be able to replace our population. How in the world do you expect us (a country that has only HUMAN resources) to continue a steady economic growth? Look at the big picture and stop thinking about yourself. Whether they stay or not does not matter. What matters is the sustenance of our standards of living. Their bad attitudes, poor manners and uncultured behavior is something that we just have to put up with for a greater good. LKY is a visionary. His son empathizes with our plight but we did not succumb to his “make more babies” policy.

    • mangoditreviso said

      I am so sick and tired of these stupid nationalistic and racists articles. Let me make it clear. it is because there are foreigners that this country is what it is. Without us foreigners you would be nothing but a tiny insignificant village. So enough! One careless driver and immediately you fuel an anti foreigner campaign. You so are so provincial and small minded….

      • Local said

        Excuse me Singapore was a fishing village and now it is metropolitan city not because of you foreigners , it is because our forefathers worked their sweat out to make this country what it is today…not because of you foreigners please do not claim award for this, you people come here to earn money even without u we can survive in our land and you people cant survive in yours

      • kiefanni said

        dont read then if you’re sick and tired, and let me make it clear too, is through the hard work of singapore itself, that makes the singapore today. I’m not being racist, i do agree that there are black sheep and good people amongst all kinds of races/nationality and i guess you make no difference from those who are being racist, thinking without u as a foreigner, we would still be a tiny insignificant country. Did anyone force u to be here? As for the driver who drove recklessly, be it he was trying to impress the so called hostess sitting beside him or whatsoever reasons, he should be punished for killing the innocent lives(please watch the video for those claiming that “accident does happen”, it was his intentional reckless driving by beating the red lights, thus result in killing the innocent lives). Please talk by using the brain, not the ass, for those who giving silly comments.

      • Local : Can’t help but saying just in case you didn’t know, most of our forefathers WERE foreigners…

    • Joe bloggs said

      Quit a lot of racist remarks, many of which appear to be fom Singaporean Chinese and others (I exclude Malays here), who say non-Singaporeans should go!.

      I’m PR, but please correct me if I am wrong, wasn’t Singapore formerly occupied and part of Malaya? That would mean all races, including ALL Chinese should leave Singapore because they are “FOREIGNERS”. And before any of you Chinese racists tell me you were born in Singapore, remember this…. A dog can be born in a stable, but it is not a horse!!!

      This article is about a stupid driver, no matter where he comes from, and the victims families should be compensated substantially.

    So angry when see this video !!

    The taxi driver observed the green light; the PRC Ferrari driver does not observe the red light and two innocent Singaporeans are killed by the show-off alien so welcomed by the PAP . . . . . .

    Not forgetting the innocent motorcyclist who sustained spinal injuries; hope he will not be paralysed . . . .

    • j said

      both death are prc

        pls take note and read the papers there are 2 ppl dead one is a prc and 1 more is a woman from japan

    • matsalleh said

      you are an idoit if you believe the video. who took video at 4 am? at split seconds

      • Cass said

        Nowadays a lot of taxis are fitted with video cams. The cam is continuously running.

      • Aly said

        you are an idiot if you do not know you can put video cams in their cars. some taxi drivers put video cams catered for cars in their taxis so that if any passengers attack them, there is evidence to sue that person.

      • hykel said

        have y heard about camera that can be installed in a car?..some car has camera that they installed in their car to capture the traffic in case of accident happens to them,they have proof..

      • Zee10 said

        nowadays, cars / taxi installed this built-in camera for recording while driving. u never seen one before? go ask around. don’t make me laugh at you. don’t speak if you don’t know what is going on Matsalleh.

      • hellastam said

        its called dashboard cam. and e accident happened in e early morning. read e news.
        its a real vid. and its a gif not e actual video. dumbass

      • Frank Tay said

        U idoit izit Matsalleh, never update izit.. most of the taxi nowadays are equipped with CCTV inside their car..

      • Hey you clown,
        You don’t know meh?? It’s common to have video in the car now a days.
        It’s to protect one self for insurance and for incidents like this.
        You can find a camera on the inside of the wind screen.
        Looks like you are the idiot to ask such an idiotic question.
        LOL….

      • UnknownSources said

        some cars have video cameras installed by their owners to record cases of their own accidents…cameras in cars are “witnesses” to such accidents….so the proof is there that the prc beat the red light….

      • lemminator said

        you don’t have to show off to everyone that u are a moron please.

        the above gif is an excerpt of the original video just in case you didn’t notice.

        and you since you fail to notice, the reflection on the windscreen of the car seems to be that of another taxi travelling behind the victims

      • voltaire07 said

        Matsalleh, you’ve not been readingthe papers, sayang..
        the video clip is taken by an in-vehicle video recorder by another driver who submitted this video as evidence to the police, but also to the media. These video recorders are turned on at all time when the one is driving. So it doesn’t matter if it’s 4am or 4pm Ah Bang..

      • Quiksand said

        ur obviously a dumbass who just chanced on this site and have very little or no education along with little prospects for a future. the fact that u dont even know of dashboard cams means ur dont own a car nor can afford to take a cab. take your ignorant ass over to a diffrent chat rooms pls. this is for adults.

      • A.Z said

        We have dumb, we have dumber but I didn’t know that we have this Matsalleh who is telling us that his IQ is more worst than that. I know that you Matsalleh is a stupid person but please don’t pretend to be smart. Halo.. wake up Matsalleh… Innocent taxi driver, dead. Innocent passenger in the taxi, dead. Motorcylist very very very lucky..alive. A lady, passenger in the Ferrari got head injury and fractured bone. Maybe going to be dead if her head injury gets worst.

        My point of view is that, no matter which nationality, gender or race, it’s the ferrari driver negligence that caused all this mishap to others who were involved in the accident. Since the driver is dead, the next person of Ma Chi family should do something to compensate the family of the dead. $200 000 or more should be no problem what… got ” ferrari” sure can compensate more what.

        Ma Chi really siow driver.. Want to show off got nice powerful car but lousy on safery… Sorry to say but really Siow driver….

      • IronMan said

        Congratulations Matsalleh, now everyone knows that u r “The Caveman Idiot”. Stupid, moron, imbecile that still refuses to come out of your hole even after millions of years.

    seriously what is he thinking when he beat the light?

    • Cusway said

      This chinaman thought that he is damn farking class. WTF!

    • ILoveSingapore said

      Nay, he didn’t think. In fact, he couldn’t think as he is not human being. Not even an animal

      • The Vet said

        he thought he could swerve in front of the moving car in his speed of light Ferrari. WTF. see amber, don’t know how to slow down. See red don’t know how to stop. just like how they drive in PRC. rich = EVERYONE ELSE FUCK OFF. Yes, may work in PRC because Ferraris are loud and people slow down near them, scared of them. In here, they are just a common sight and Singaporeans who own Ferraris do not drive like that. Amber = slow. Red = STOP.
        THis knowledge does not exist in China.

      he cannot see the red light because the GREEN light confuse him before this accident junction……..

    I wonder the Government had any comment on this brutal accident. Accountability to Singaporeans and perhaps an apology to the japanese (if the report) is true.

    • dahlia said

      Agreed, the family of the ferrari’s driver also should apologies. I heard they blame the taxi driver until the video came out. The truth reveal.

    Yes keep the hatred coming! This is great! Please, more more more!!! Don’t stop the hatred towards foreigners! Racism #1!

    Let this be a reminder that we should all drive carefully. When you drive dangerously, it not only endangers your life but other lives as well.

    I don’t care if he’s PRC or Singaporean, or if he’s driving a Ferrari or a Proton. Any person who drives like that deserves to suffer

    • OSX said

      Exactly! Why does it matter whether he is from China India, South Africa, or South America?

      His callousness is UNIVERSAL. ANYONE that drives like that and causes such a great loss to so many people (and each of their families, AND HIS VERY OWN!) is detestable. What passport he carries is a non-issue.

      Next time if a SIA flight gets into an accident it means that Singaporeans are reckless and are bad at flying planes? Next time if a Singaporean terrorist decides to blow up some tourist location overseas it means we are all terrorists and those countries SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER before letting such dangerous Singaporeans into their country? PEOPLE are responsible for THEIR OWN MISTAKES, we shouldn’t help them blame it on anyone/ anything else!

      The blatant and unapologetic racism on this page sickens me almost as much as the innocent and needless loss of lives from the Bugis accident.

        Agree with you till the third sentence, WHAT ITS GOT TO DO WITH “SIA” “SINGAPOREAN TERRORIST”??

      • ILoveSingapore said

        Sorry, we talked based on statistic here.

      • I am an FT said

        If its not because of our desire to give our family a better life back home, we will not go overseas. I believe no matter where we came from, whatever our race and nationality is… each and everyone’s intention is to really provide food on the table. A Singaporean may go to Japan to work, an American may go to the Philippines to work and a Filipino may be in Singapore to work… all of these people are facing the same kind of life… that is to work hard and earn a decent living. If the government will push policies that will strangle companies especially to labor cost, I may say that sooner or later, companies here will start outsourcing…which in fact is happening already. Due to competition, the market today make companies find ways to retain customers by providing more benefits and satisfaction. This would require cost and to balance their expenses, the company would find a way to spend less in labor, resources, etc. In US before say for example… call centers are everywhere… now, they have been outsourced in India, Philippines and somewhere else…leaving some of the Americans jobless. Remember as well, FT we are, we also share our responsibility to Singapore. We pay taxes in all our expenses. These also goes back to every Singaporean who gets benefit from their government that an FT don’t get at all. I am an FT, i respect each Singaporean and would be forever thankful to them…but i hope you wouldnt look at us like dogs who snare away food without leaving you anything because after all, we also contribute in any other way to the progress of this country.

    • James said

      Absolutly.. What does that got to do with nationality..

      This news is very hot because..
      1. It’s an expansive car..
      2. Driven by foreign tycoon.

      If it’s jus a normal car, driven by a local.. I doubt anyone care much..

      But still it’s a sad tragedy. RIP to all the deceases and condolence to their family. Especially the taxi driver family, we should try to support them finacially thru donation, and get over this difficult time. God blessed.

      • I am an FT said

        A simple prayer will be a big help already. I pity those who died and pray for their family hoping that they will be able to move on from this tragic experience.

      as far as I am concern, regardless of where they from, They have to abide the law here and follow the Singapore style of highway code.
      same remember the embassy official, hit and run, worst of all run back to his country, are we able to accept this ???

      all have to be treated fairy, 1 person does not represent the whole country, like many sporran drive in malaysia, travel at 110 km/h at the extreme outer lane causes the travel slow down does that mean the malaysian government will have to stop sporran drive to malaysia.
      importing of foreign talent does not relate to this case and should not be bias and accusing the one country. many white drive recklessly as well where are we keep silence about it.
      we comments on the car accident not to discuss of racist issue.

    The last moments of the taxis driver: On sat, after undergoing two operations, blood transfusion, numerous heart adrenalin injections, the taxis driver remained unconscious and was subsequently declared brain dead. On sun, the taxis driver continued to fight for his life, struggling to stay alive despite the pain that he suffered (severe brain hemorrhage, massive internal bleeding, broken rib cage, punctured lungs, damaged kidneys… his whole face was swollen and bloated due to the massive blood loss internally)… The atmosphere is unbearable… Yet he fight on… and on… and on, refusing to give up. His family members felt that he wanted to tell them something but as he couldn’t speak a word, he just laid there enduring the pain. He eventually drew his last breath after his family members showed him the Sin Ming and Wan Bao that published the camera footage of the accident. Realizing that the world now knows the truth that the Ferrari driver is at fault and he is innocent, he can finally be freed of the pain. His heart beat plunged to zero within 10 mins.

      How did “…his family members showed him the Sin Ming and Wan Bao that published the camera footage of the accident” if “the taxis driver remained unconscious and was subsequently declared brain dead”?

      Sounds like a made-up story to me.

      Does anybody know how I can make a direct donation to help the family of the deceased cabby? This is my small gesture to help a fellow Singaporean who suffered and died under such cruel and horrifying circumstances. Thanks to all who reply.

    • Wecanmakeadifference said

      Sob …. Hope he didn’t and couldn’t feel the pain but the thought that his family members were able to see him before he goes is a blessing.

      Rest in peace and God bless

      Drive safe guys and gals

    He wanted the truth to be known

    Watching the taxis driver enduring the pain, his family members said to him: “if you find that it is too painful, don’t endure anymore, just let go… We couldn’t bear to see you enduring this unbearable pain!”

    careless driver..

    • Not About Nationality said

      This is NOT careless driving when you refuse to stop at red light. It is total disregard to other road users. Despite his nationality, he should have survived and be paralyzed for the rest of his life to suffer. Instant death is being too kind of him for his act.

    Reckless driving is well know and very common in China, on top of that it’s also well know of their selfish, arrogant behavior. This is only part of the consequences of their present.

But hey, he could just pay the rent for twice where you could take that money and go gamble it at mahjong. So, now fearful creature of Singapore, make any sense to you here?

    The offender’s actions are indeed despicable and he should be duly punished. What is very lamentable however is the deluge of unnecessary, bigoted remarks. Condemn the culprit for committing such a heinous crime, not because of who he is and what his roots are. Any other Singaporean (and there are plenty of rich ones driving Ferraris around) who did the same would deserve the same condemnation.

  28. Wehateprc said

    All these foreign talents never fail to make the headlines for bad reasons. The Singapore government constantly defends their stand that foreign talent is a must due to our declining birth rates and aging population. But is that a good enough reason to take in any Tom dick or Harry? Shouldn’t proper checks and scrutiny be placed on these people who come in? No matter what they are considered ‘outsiders’. And these ‘outsiders’ should not be placed on the same level as us, Singaporeans. If they are a must, then the Singapore government should educate them and put in place policies and structures from preventin them from ‘polluting’ our society. They should not be bringing their dirty and unhygienic habits to our country. And they need to learn proper etiquette. Not to spit, not to talk as though the whole world is deaf, not to seduce old men who just withdraw teir CPF. Most of all, not to insult and talk bad abt the country that is giving you a chance to better your standard of living. Such ungrateful people do not deserve to live in our country. This is not your country! You are in a foreign land. So have some decency and respect. Be humble and shut your trap. Don’t stir up trouble in our peaceful land.

    • zen said

      To be fair, this got nothing to do with foreign talent. If there any different whether guy on the wheel is a singaporean or foreiner, just like the one that causes the salesgirl death when test drive a sport car. He is Singaporean, so is it ok for him to cause the death of the innocent girl?

      • wehateprc said

        yes an accident can occur regardless of the nationality. it is never okay to take an innocent life.
        but is it too much of a coincidence of crimes and accidents that involve all these PRCs? just because their country is lawless and full of such horrible things happening doesn’t mean they should bring all these bad things to our country too. so many PRC bus drivers that think they are F1 drivers. running over pedestrains. the list goes on basically. everywhere you turn is like a mini-China. why is the government letting them all in?

      • ILoveSingapore said

        That is what happen when a Singaporean infected by FT behavior.

    • limawu said

      IT is a nice thought but how to check in the first place whether a foreigner is a “to be reckless driver”? There are lethal car accidents happening between locals also, and despite the relatively stringent driving test here in Sing, it still happens. I don’t see any logic here to link a reckless driver from PRC to the government policy to attract foreign talents, to be honest.

    So we Singaporeans have been posting on this topic online, showing our digression and I believe the government is aware of the issue that their people are VERY unhappy about these ALIENS and NOTHING is done. In fact, there is something done; Inviting more and more ALIENS to invade us! #AvengersPleaseSaveUs

      So I guess unhappiness about the Govt bringing in the PRC is about us being Singaporean and not about some of them being non-Chinese. I believe Ken is a Chinese and against this idea of letting the PRC to invade Singapore…. Well I can understand ur frustration Ken. Let’s just live with it because I doubt so the Govt will care much abt our anger and disappointment because they hv their reasons and they will stand firm with their reasons. :))

      • Ashailah said

        The best thing in singapore is.. everyone dares to speak up online but they will never do a protest show outside because government is still a government as they have their own reasons to be firm to all fellow singaporeans… no one dares to protest anything unlike other countries.. its of no use to argue in here about the PRC VS Singaporeans because the government will not listen.

    Is there really a need to highlight the nationality? It’s a deplorable and distressing incident. Let’s extend our sympathies to the families of the deceased and leave it as that without dragging our pet peeves into the issue.

    • BRK said

      Yes unfortunately there is a need to highlight the nationality. Notice how all the chinaman drive the buses, lorries, cars on the road? While locals are also guilty of reckless driving, there are definitely more incidents of reckless driving resulting in serious or fatal accidents involving drivers from china.

  32. lee david said

    i saw in the papers of Singapore, making this PRC a 'GOD-SENT !’ N to says the PRC driver did not drink then it must be the TAXI-driver who was drinking!!!!! BULL SHIT, make a full TEST on the bodies, check them on alcohol, pills n drugs. Also, i learned that these GOD-SEND do not have to take any TEST before converting theirs driving license to ‘SINGAPORE LICENSE’ , take note, MR MINISTER, in CHINA, u can ‘BUY’ anything with a ‘SUM’, not to mention they drive in the ‘WRONG-WAY’ as with Singapore n most Asia countries….

  33. daimaou said

    I also have an in-car video camera, and a few month ago, one night, while driving along the ECP at 1:00 am, 15 high powered sports cars were racing down the ECP. Not only were they speeding, the sound produced by these cars were deafening, and that, at 1:00 am. I sent the video to the police and they said they will change their patrolling pattern.
    I have friends who told me he has even seen groups of these high power cars racing down Orchard Road at night.
    Do these people think because they are rich they are above the law?
    I hope out of this tragedy, the police will finally take action against these rich spoilt people. No one should be above the law.
    The way this present PRC guy went through the red light and killing 2 other people, to me, who am not a lawyer, but to me nevertheless, this is manslaughter.
    This video should go viral so as to pressurize the police to do something about these high performance sports cars in the hands of these rich spoilt people.

    • Cop_IT said

      I agree with you that the scenario is repeated every week but I don’t think we have seen anyone caught yet. Personally I lost hope with our SPF long time ago, a simple request for assistance resulted in a 45 minutes wait without no patrol car coming, yes the culprit got away with his laser pointing.

    How do we not ‘dislike’ PRCs? I was never against them… not until that PRC Uni student case, not until I see how it’s those PRCs who are the real ‘kia-su’ ones, fighting to board a bus/train, pretending to be doing their own stuff when they see someone who needs a seat more than them. This incident just made my impression of them worse. Think and look carefully around us. Why are we the ‘ugly Singaporeans’ when it’s in fact, THESE non-Singaporeans who gave us that bad name?

  35. guo-hua said

    There are plenty of shitty drivers – foreign and local. I had to educate a singaporean driver that after turning, the driver on the left land has to choose the left lane and not the right, etc.

  36. Henry said

    This is indeed unconceiveable … My heart sank heavily in condolences of the taxi driver and his passenger. The roads in Singapore have become more and more “wicked” with new elements of unknown characters.

  37. WP for hougang! said

    Can someone deport the PRC driver’s family back to China? We don’t want criminals nor their family residing in Singapore. We want only quality immigrants. Causing the death of two innocent Singaporeans just because of reckless driving is unacceptable. This is truly a foreign trash who disregards the lives of ordinary people and who is only interested in showing off his wealth by speeding in a Ferrari.

    There are many forms of cowardice, but I am sure mocking a dead man is at the very lowest of that order.

    I usually don’t get involved in such debates, but this just shows the ignorance of a lot of people that come to this site looking for an outlet to bash foreigners. What a lethal concoction we have here: foreigner driving a Ferrari involved in a fatal accident. Looks like sour grapes and xenophobia have combined into the “perfect” mix!.

    Oh, nevermind the fact that 3 people are now lying in the MORGUE – We have a god-sent sign to complain.

    And this whole anti-foreigner thing…We were all immigrants at some point. And we don’t have to look very far into the past. Just two to three generations ago, in fact, our forfathers were coming in on ships from Hainan and the mainland China or elsewhere looking for a better future. They say wealth only lasts 3 generations – well there you have it. It’s about time we realise that being a Singaporean isn’t a Birthright.

    “Stop taking our Jobs!” we rally. The fact is that there are people who are willing to work harder, and for less. Just a few weeks back there was a ST article on a local girl who was content with selling hawker food with her spouse. Yes, a Singaporean girl wanted to become a chicken rice hawker. And it made the national newspapers. So unless you want to drive a bus, wait table s at a 24 hour wan tan mee outlet and clear garbage, you just have to sit here and take it.

    No one knows for sure the qualifications of the PRC that drove that Ferrari, but wealth comes to those who have invested in their lives (mostly). Having trouble finding a job, qualifications not high enough? Who ask you play country eraser in primary school and not listen to the teacher? I am not being entirely unfair am I?

    Sitting around and pointing fingers isn’t the answer. It is just the stuff racial riots are made of.

    • Amazing Singapore said

      Completely my sentiment. Thank you for the post. I’m a Singaporean, but I too agree that there are too many people who just want to blame everyone else for their own failure. My company was running a recuitment for workers previously, Singaporeans who turned up/ called in, either rejected the job for being too ‘tough’ or for being too far from home. What is wrong with a little bit of competition? It almost seems like, to some Singaporeans, foreign competition is unhealthy because Singaporeans are not good enough to compete.

    • daimaou said

      You are correct, it could be anyone stupid rich guy behind the wheels there. I too have an in-car video camera that records everything in front of my car’s windscreen. Once I recorded 15 high performance sports cars racing down ECP at 1:00 am in the morning. The speed and sound of the cars were frightening. In a sense, the accident we now saw was waiting to happen, given the increase in number of these high performance cars in Singapore, driven mostly by the noveau riche.

      It is not about PRC, but unfortunately, with the press reports of the corruption and how the corrupt and powerful get to be very, very rich at the expense of the poor, and how they transfer their money out of China, we tend to associate every rich PRC guy with corruption and ill gotten gains, rightly or wrongly.

      Some of us also remember that incident in 2010 when the son of a police chief in Hebei ran down a university student and then said, “I dare you to arrest me, my father is Li Gang.” (Li Gang is the name of his father and is the Police Chief there.) So we are used to the idea in China, the rich and the powerful, as long as they are on the side of the people in charge in Beijing, are above the law. If you read the publications coming out of Hong Kong, you will find lots of complain about the rich and powerful and the princelings (there are sons and daughters of the first generation of Mao’s revolutionaries, of whom the most famous or infamous one is Bo Xilai). So there is a general feeling that the rich and powerful feel they are above the law.

    Have to thank the car that is behind the taxi, who had a close shave himself. Why thank him is, he caught the whole incident of what actually happened.

    I am disappointed that so many people link a car accident to the nationality of the driver, and even arrive at the conclusion that PRCs should be driven out because of this accident. I mean, come on, – isn’t this as bad as a racist – prejudice against people because of something that is inborn, such as the color of the skin, the race, the nationality or the gender? Just a few months ago there was a car accident in Raffles, that a Porsche (Driven by a British girl) hit a taxi that caused the lady (2 kids) on the taxi to be paralyzed – so do you want the government to ban all the British from entering Singapore as well? Not to mention the car accidents between Singaporean and PRs – shall we ban these people out of Singapore as well? OR maybe we ban all the cars from hitting the roads?

    Reading though all the comments here and many other websites, I fear the displeasure of foreigners is getting out of hand.

    Would be interesting to know the blood alcohol content in the dead drivers blood. I laughed when i read in ST where his friends said it was a usual gathering but “no alcohol was consumed”. I think they think people are daft. Bet his family will now be sued big time, and am sure they can afford it, 31 yo ferrari driver and all. Wonder who the 20+ passenger was seeing how his friends didnt seem to know who she was. So dodgy…such a tragic story and frankly the man and his ‘friends’ are all to blame. If he was drunk, why did they let him drive? Let’s see what the toxicology report comes back with…

    • AuntCabby said

      Don’t worry the insurance company will die die proof he was intoxicated. Why, so they don’t have to pay a single cent. Now if it’s a drink driving case, the victims can sue his estate. But then he is dead, long process, means if u do not have money to fight this case, no point, still lose.

    I should think the foreigner before they have their License change to singapore local driving licence, the driver need to go for a proper education on the driving culture here, some of them are just too slow on the road and driving on the extreme right lane causes the expressway jam.
    many asia country beat traffic light is norm, they have not used to the local culture.
    doesn’t matter where they from. they come here they will need to abide our local law and our local culture.
    I met a European driver who did not give way and he can have the cheek to show centre finger, these are the people we do not need them here.
    We should influence them in stead they influence us.

    • Your such a piece of work….I see idiot locals everyday act like fools. Even some try to cut in front of me…and then come to abuse me, but when I get out of such a little car…as a 6’4” aussie, they sure back down real quick. I live in the district were u learn to drive…and by god…some of the locals are losers at driving…so go crawl back in your cave miss Wang!!!!
      Only Jungalis get influenced by others. Takes a righteous person not to be influenced by others….so I assume you drink alcohol and go clubbing? No doubt I bet

      • I live in the district were u learn to drive…and by god…some of the locals are losers at driving

        That is the idiots that blow their horn at the learner drivers and speed around here like morons….trucks cars buses bikes pushbikes…not the learners themselves

    Well said GODSPEED! Couldn’t have said it better myself. We seem to have all missed the point to this whole tragedy and have started pointing fingers. Disregard the fact that he was a PRC, at the end of the day, it is a man who was irresponsible and reckless who caused misery to many others! It doesn’t matter where the person is from. He was a reckless driver and we need to see less of his kind in this country and the world. Let’s learn from this incident.

    TRASH, Sg is still a fantastic place to live in or I would not have left my country 11 years ago to stay here. There are bad apples in all society no matter where you are from. Recall the incident of Penang Road, if I am not wrong he was Singaporean. There are all types on all societies so no point dragging our racial hatred into this debate.

    Let’s just hope that those who are the cause (and survive) such atrocities suffer that maximum punishments and penalties in all forms to prevent idiots from repeating such stupid actions.

    May those affected severely by this incident eventually find some peace.

    • Why was he reckless and irresponsible???….cause he was drunk with a local trollop in his car while his wife an kid an unborn child was at home….so that makes that driver a poor lost sole and I feel soooo sorry for his children…knowing that their dad was a drunk killing slime bucket who made poor judgement…cause there are not enough police to patrol these clubs and pubs with breatherlizers to detect alcohol and drink drivers.
      You ever thought the Police Chief is irresponsible knowing all these drunks and driving…(its his job) yet not enuff police in and around clubs and bars??
      MORE POLICE ON ROADS AND GIVE THEM MORE PAY!!!!

      Anyone is too blame…its govt and the police chief and alcohol

      Is the gun to blame…or the user or the designer or the chines who invented gunpowder or the miner who mines the lead for bullets or the maker of the gun or the person who markets the advertising or the shipper who ships them…or the warehouse who stores it…or the seller of the gun…or the border guard who lets it come into ur country or the buyer who sells it to his mate who loses it in ditch…then some poor uneducated kid gets it…and kills some….so tell me…#whoistoblame

    I am a Singaporean, and sometimes due to some issues, I hate the FTs too. I hope this comment of mine can be read with an open heart.

    However, in this case whereby most people have commented that it’s due to FT (only it seems) that caused such accidents, I would like to say that in this type of accident, not only does FT seems possible to “create”, it’s of equal chances to ANYBODY of any race and country.

    I have seen and came across so many irresponsible drivers in Singapore whom they speed, not signalling, and etc. I believe ALL drivers should be meticulous, and stay alert while driving, and not speed.

    It is such sadness to see lives are lost due to irresponsible driver(s). I’m definitely heartbroken to see such news and it just sends me goosebumps how vulnerable life can be. My condolence to the family involved.

  90. Fantastic Singapore said

    The reason why lots of singaporean are complain abt those FT and PRC is because, if the govt would implement these FT into singapore THAT MUCH, our accident rate could be lower. Yes i agree its not totally abt these FT but rather reckless driver and also some concern regarding “what if its a singaporean or is it right for a singaporean to do so?”

    Just would like to say regarding this, if we singaporean would be the one doing these, we would also suffer such comment in news, internet and public comment BUT the only difference is, govt help to defend these FT or rather not saying anything much when their “TALENT” got into trouble. LOOK at the example of the minor sex incident done by us singaporean, details of them were so detailed being listed down such as, who is he, what is he, where he work blah blah blah. BUT did these happen to the same fate to the PRC, letting singaporean know who is he, where he from, WHY he come to singapore for? i dont think so and thats why alot singaporean are angry abt it because they might be thinking why when singaporean make major mistake, we got punish in a such a hard way compare to those FT. What i meant punishment is, why singaporean get such total disgrace when we make mistake and FT are not getting as much as us?

    News reported singaporean should learn how to accept FT and FT must learn to adept new enviroment and learn the way how we do things BUT did they mention FT should be punish the same way how we singaporean got punish if they were to ever make mistake or double the punishment?

    Back to main point, if govt were to get these FT into our country, YES THEY CAN BUT LOOK AND DECIDE CAREFULLY ! dont make it into Once they invested into our country, we should just accept them.2ndly make it a hard spot for them to come into singapore, make them compete with each other and end of the day we still have FT into our country BUT the only diffence is we GOT THE BEST FT in singapore whom really helps singapore and not giving trouble to singapore or rather have the chances to let singaporean comment abt them. if the govt can do it this way, i believe hatred comments for the FT will be lessen.

    Treat everyone fairly whether be it singapore or FT. when either one does well, complements them, when either one make mistake, let them have the punishment in the same way. FAIRNESS is the voice of what singaporean wanted now from the govt !

  91. Time and space at that speed by the Ferrari needed only a few seconds difference to decide the spot of impact and the fate of the three deceased was decided by that. It was a spot-on crash. I hope sellers of high-speed performance cars, that can easily rev to more than 200kph in a few seconds, will remind all buyers, especially the rich FTs, that it will take only 15 minutes to crash into the sea as Singapore island is only 45 km long, [if there is a straight-line expressway] East to West across. Pls tell them not to race on Singapore roads as there is no space for it.

    • daimaou said

      What you said about warning was quite true. In fact, a friend of mine has gone one step further and suggested a very good solution. He himself at one time in the past is an owner of one of these high performance cars. His suggestion is that a special license must be required, after taking special classes and passing a test that shows competency at handling those cars, before the person can drive a high performance car. The definition of a high performance car could be say, a car that can go from 0 to 100 kph in 5 secs, or some other such parameters. This way, there is no discriminations against anybody, not by race, color or nationalities and not by richness or poorness. The car jockeys must also have that license before he can drive the car. (Remember that fatal accident many years ago by a jockey in Hilton Hotel driving a Porsche?)

      The fact is the PAP garment wants more rich people to buy more ferrari and lumbogini.

  92. This is not just about this Ferrari, at Victoria Street.
    Have we caught anyone who race their speedy car down Orchard Road?
    So many close circuit TV, what did these cameras accomplish?
    If a localized case cannot be stopped from repeating, will it not spreading?

    Have we prosecuted the drunked who punched up our Taxi Drivers two years ago ?

    In which nation’s capital has people at their own will race their sports car down busy shopping mall like Orchard Road?
    Not even Yakusa of Japan.

    We have so many research lab, can NUS image processing expert tell us this video is fabricated?

    Singaporeans want to be respected, need to do things that bring respect to Singapore, our society, our law and order.

    It is not the problem of migrants, it is how this nation choose migrants, how we administer, cultivate people on this land to be a peaceful, dynamic, capable, orderly society.

    • Obama said

      The PAP garment wants to cultivate the F1 culture here.
      So, they close their eyes to the many cases of night racing down the expressways during the wee hours.

      I personally have encountered many times, a team of two or three “sports” racing down the expressways zig-zagging from lanes to lanes endangering the rest of the road users and drivers.

      The police can spend their time monitoring the internet blogs, so I don’t believe, for one second , that they have done their best to crack down on illegal and dangerous “racing” by these sports cars owners.

    I am very appalled and disturbed by some of the comments I’m reading here. I am unhappy with the influx of many PRCs here in Singapore just like many of us here. But lives are lost in this horrifying accident. The driver himself had also lost his life. Yes it is his fault but please do have some respect for his family and friends who might be reading the comments here. Some of the comments here are just downright mean and disgustingly cruel.
    It was an accident due to recklessness and negligence and I believe nobody wanted it to happen. It has nothing to do with where he was from and definitely nothing to do with the government’s policy for foreign talent. Some of you are on the verge of becoming xenophobic.

      Not just foreigners. But RICH Singaporeans too.

      The rich are buying two, three cars, even though their family may have only 4-5 people.
      A typically businessman have at least 2 cars.

      The richer ones, usually owns two luxury cars and a sports car (ferrari or lumbogini) which they will drive on the weekends. Its very common that they will take their millon dollar sports car to ramp up to racing speeds, because, these car are designed to run at speeds of 130-200 kmph.

      Therefore, I do not believe, for one second that the police, didn’t know that such practices are going on with these ferrari and lumbogini owners.

    All the angers and condemnations on the Govt and PRC are really not warranted. The accident is the result of the reckless
    action of one person be it a PRC, other nationals or a local and he has already paid for it with his own demise. We should all
    be offering our condolences to those who suffered sorrow from the unfortunate death of loved ones as no amount of anger
    is going to bring any of the deceased persons back to life. Let us just instead pray for the lost souls that they rest in eternal
    peace.

  100. Shirox said

    The deceased deserves some respect. No matter whose fault it is right now, most importantly is to proper respect them first. The innocent ones is the taxi driver and his passenger… No one wanted this to happen, I just hope although the China driver is unfortunately dead in the incident as well, I hope the rich family behind the china driver will bear the irresponsibility of financially support the families of the deceased. Although money is nothing compared to a person’s life, but at least it could provide them a solution to their future.

    2) the passenger of the taxi wasn’t Singaporean she was Japanese ‘foreign talent’.
    3) the taxi that was hit was also running the light making a right turn from the opposite direction of the the car that hit him.

    I am not defending the PRC or foreign talent or immigration policies all I am saying is get your facts right before commenting so you don’t sound as dumb as you are.

    I think we are too “in love” with foreign money more so than “foreign talent” the real problem here are the foreigners who think they can buy anything. All this dirty money from China is flooding in and the and Singapore is just taking it all in.

    This is a very sad story. Blaming foreigners does no justice at all. We should be praying for them and be bigoted. There are many many Singaporean who live in Australia, New Zealand, Europe and the Americas.
    Most of them are hard working and have lots of money, as far as I am aware none of them are prohibited from either owning a dream house, a dream car and sending their kids to dreams school or universities. As a resident of those countries they have the right to education, healthcare and other amenities and they also pay taxes, like foreigners in Singapore. As foreigners we pay the same tax rate as Singaporean, as Singaporean you should be proud of who you are, and not bicker about your status. By being bigoted you guys are putting yourselves down and this is not going to help you. Be smart and look forward to life, if you cannot afford a Farreri make sure you work hard to achieve that, of that is your pet project.

Or you only befriend foreigners and well off citizens? If you don’t understand the underlying issues here, then you aren’t qualified to call Singaporeans “racist” or “Nazi”.

    very sad but believe me when I was in Singapore i worked for a law firm where the employer started giving files to someone else and then telling me politely to leave saying somebody is coming back after maternity leave. So Unfair wasn’t it. I heard that they are doing very well.

    Such idiots driving can be PRCs or locals or anyone who can drive in Singapore man. Stereotyping should be out of topic. There are many irresponsible LOCAL drivers around too. Sometimes it’s just ppl “suay”. Kena the wrath of others for nothing. It’s fated…

    No matter what he drive, watch out for the other vehicles. If he wanna beat red light see where he’s at. I wouldn’t just say who he is and where he from. But don’t be a reckless driver and cause inconvenient for the others even worst taking away innocent life. If these people think they really that good in driving, get yourself in the track and show it to the trackies.

    The foreigners are more fortunate than us pure Singaporeans. If anything were to happen to Singapore or they could not make it, they can always ‘balik kampung’ literally means go back to their home village. But us Singaporeans? Where to go? All our kampungs all had been snatched away by the Pappies. We are always at the losing end. And the Pappies treating them like gods, make us boil more. Especially the rich ones whether they come fm Philippines or PRC or anywhere. Poor us the Pure Blood of Singapore.

  126. Javen said

    I seriously think LTA should review 2 things.
    1) COE is claimed to control the number of vehicles on the road and it is Singaporean road. now it is crazy high to ‘control’ the number of vehicles. Since it is so uncontrollable that needs to be so high, why do we allow non-singaporean to purchase cars? We should ONLY allow Singaporean to purchase cars(old and new) and that will solve the number of cars problem and hopefully bring down a little of our coe and get rid of crazy drivers like this Ferrari driver. It will not affect our economy because there’s so much cars and we need such high COE to control it, it means we are self sufficient.
    2) To review the criteria of allowing non-Singaporean driving license. These people are not brought up and do not value Singapore. They do not know how to drive safely because their homeland does not have such control over them in this aspect and culture is very different. We should not so easily give them the license to drive. Even if we do give them, cap it based on cc and horsepower. After 2-3yrs then allow them to drive something bigger. Start with 1,000cc would be good. We should cultivate them gradually to prevent this kind of fatal accidents.

    • Kill the bastard that use car as missle said

      Agreed. We cannot afford these bastard to be released on the road just because they have money to throw. All foreigner shld be restricted to start off with only 1000 cc car only if they are not happy buy motorbike loh

  127. BB said

    It’s a sad accident caused by selfish individuals. As gracious Singaporean, let’s not start judging!!
    When I was a child, my grandfather used to remind us of our roots, he always remind us that he and his father came from China. And when we were young, we often recognize ourself as CHINESE not singaporean, but as Singapore became a developed country and people are more educated, many of us seem to forget that when we speak of PRC, we too, or our grand fathers/great grand fathers are PRC!
    So let’s break away from such vicious cycle!

    It’s very frustrating to read the first report of the Ferrari accident @Bugis. All the newspaper splash how the foreign rich is good character and how his family mourn over his death. Why is there no report of how the taxi driver’s family fare? What happen to the nameless passenger that died is her twenties? What is happening to the morals of the newspaper reporter n editors?
    The taxi driver family did not hv $ to bury their sole breadwinner. The dead girl family n the injure motorcyclist came to the poor man’s wake n offer condences. Where is the richman family? None appear!

  129. Gary said

    It is a sad event and a sad loss to all families, rich or poor, lives have been lost, and we as humans must give respect to those who have died, accidents are unplanned, unforeseen events, no one wanted this, but it has happened

    We vent anger frustrations, and our upsets, but we must learn from this, and the Govt and law of the land also.

    Every country has it own mannerism of driving, Singapore has its own too, but it is one of the best in Asia

    A foreigner who comes to Singapore to drive is allowed to do so, as the same as all countries, as a tourist they can hire vehicles etc: with a valid driving license, and anyone staying long term can also purchase a vehicle with the same Driving license, and no re test

    But there should be rules for foreigners who are to live here, A Foreigner who comes to Singapore long term and they have moved from a different country and they bring there habitual driving along with them too, which is dangerous when unleashed on the Singapore Roads

    Auto piloted in there brain of how they perceive to drive, foreigners should be given a strict driving test to Singapore standards and procedures, so they understand and learn and practice the Singaporean way of driving, and tested on this, and they forget there homeland way of driving what they habitually only know, as to say switch there auto pilot off, and concentrate and obey the laws of Singapore Roads, re-education of driving is essentially required

    1. Driving lessons & education should be taken
    2. Traffic Police should then judge if the person is ready for the driving test
    3. Strict driving test should be carried out
    4. Fail, go to back to No1
    5. Pass, a SG 1 year driving license is issued
    6. Re-Test after 1 year
    7. SG 5 year Driving License is issued

    Singapore has strict rules to abide too; we all follow them, as we don’t want to be in any troubles

    I am not Singaporean I am foreign, I have seen how other nationalities drive in many countries, I speak for the Safety of the people in Singapore, I hope the Govt and police do take into consideration a strategy as an example above for long term foreign drivers

  136. Fed Up said

    This accident was caused by the clear lack of regard for the top 3 factors in road deaths GLOBALLY – Alcohol, Speed and not obeying the road signs (traffic lights). If you break the road rules, you’re more likely to have an accident, it’s as simple as that. Driving is not a priviledge, it’s a responsibility.

    This is NOT race related, vehicle related or anybodies fault but the driver. If you think Singaporeans are the best drivers in the world then you need to think again and do your research.. http://driving-in-singapore.spf.gov.sg/services/driving_in_singapore/information_traffic_statistics.htm

    Hate on FTs all you want but next time you want to go for a drive, get in a cab or bus or train check the brand of the vehicle and ask yourself where it was made…. You’ll all be back on horse and cart in no time.

    Good DAY sir.

      If you feel the West is so wonderful, why don’t you just go back there and live? We can buy your stuff as an open economy and let you earn your keep, but just don’t come here, steal our jobs and school places for our children!

      • Fed Up said

        Ms Kong, I didn’t say the west was wonderful I merely gestured that the blame here isn’t with FT. You clearly hate FT because you’re racist and myopic. If you were minimally educated you would actually see the good that FT has brought to this country to make it what it is today.

        Name me one other 42km wide island that competes against much bigger countries on a global scale? There isn’t one. Could you have one it without ANY foreign influence? No. We’re not in the dark ages here, the world is flat and getting smaller. Get used to it.

        Before I go… Just think what it would be like if other countries turned on Singaporean expats like this?

      • Ms Kong said

        OK, I give up too since you insist on missing the point and twisting people’s words.

      • Ms Kong said

        This isn’t about racism…where in my comments did I say so? OK, fine, my English is bad, yours is good, hence you are superior. FT are superior, since you only define yourself and your FT friends solely in terms of material wealth.

        The waves of immigration OR (“FT” as you pride yourself to be) way before the explosive 1.5 million intake post-2006 – our forefathers, the Hongkongers before the handover etc, even quite a number of Westerners – came here and respected the country’s people, hence we respected them back. Most importantly, the previous “FT” wanted to integrate with the locals and didn’t form their own cliques. I cannot say the same of the post-2006 FTs at all.

        Citizens used to have priorities to schools, affordable housing, affordable transport and enjoyed low inflation (AND Singapore was still an open economy). True, the country wasn’t as materially wealthy, but it was a much more harmonious, happier and less stressful place to work and live in. Now, the new post-2006 “FTs” are very different. They think of themselves as belonging to a completely different rarefied sphere from the rest of the Singaporeans whose roots were the horse and cart (actually, coolies never had horses, they carried their own carts). That’s where the problem lies – this pervading attitude of superiority of the post-2006 FTs. Frankly, I don’t think a lot of the new FTs are interested to integrate, but rather carve out their own superior exclusive clique in this country.

    • timeflies said

      I do think you have been implying in all your posts that the West is superior and more wonderful. So, you say you aren’t. OK. If you don’t like people putting words in your mouth, then don’t do so to others.

      It’s sad the new FTs are measuring the wealth of a nation and its citizens solely in terms of money. The FTs during my early working years in the 1990s were real people who had a better sense of what a person’s worth is. FTs have been coming in for a really long time, since the 1980s actually. But was there xenophobia then? No right?

      Do you actually know and have talked to a real Singaporean taxi driver? A taxi driver in the 1990s earned S$1,700 a month, the cost of an HDB flat was S$180,000 and the cost of the average chicken rice meal was S$2. A taxi driver in 2012 still earns S$1,700 a month, the cost of an HDB flat is now S$900,000 and the cost of the average chicken rice meal is S$3.50.

      Tell me – the country is wealthier, but are the citizens actually wealthier?

      At the end of the day, in the event of a hostile invasion or a bursting of the current bubble and subsequent deep recession, will the FTs stay around?

    • mag said

      Excuse me, Singapore was already globally competitive in the 1980s. It was already the busiest port in the world in the 1980s before the FTs came. I was fine with the FTs who came in during the 1990s. In fact, my favourite English teacher in school was a Brit. A very nice, humble and inspiring Brit. And my dad’s boss was Dutch who regarded him as his peer, NOT his servant.

      What we are very unhappy about is the new breed of FTs coming here who carry this ATTITUDE that Singapore owes them the world and we citizens are obliged to give in to you.

      The topic is really not about Singapore being global. Stop harping on something to avoid the real topic at hand.

      What we are unhappy about is your ATTITUDE!

    Just sharing my care for our sg and people, nothing offensive intended and i am an individual. Firstly, my deepest condolences go to the victims’ family and friends.

    The video clearly showed that Ferrari didnt stop at Amber and Red light while the cabby drove at Green light which is correct. So this is the fact. And the Ferrari driver will get his legal punishment and guilt for his whole life for the outcome of causing the 2 death and many broken hearts.

    It could happen to any human as the affected drivers, not to a specified group of people. We couldnt denied that drivers in sg are getting inconsiderate, bullied and dangerous as it is happening daily around us if we take time to observe it.

    Concerns and constructive feedback are good but if the statement get carried away by personal emotion, it just multiplying the unhappiness of everyone. Singapore belongs to everyone who give a sigh, drop a sweat and push lift button everyday. We dont work or succeed alone to become where we are; We strive together as an individual in different ways to build a nation.

    If everyone gradually become considerate and take time to think for others, many things can be avoided and prevented.

    A saying, “Monkey See Monkey do.” If we show and do it the right way we want, the person next to us will be understand, get influenced and follow the way we want SG to be.

    I saw a few gracious person daily on the road and we just need more of them. 🙂 Thanks to anyone who are being considerate to others.

    Wish everyone best of health and luck. Cheers.

    Normally as driver no matter what condition we r in, if the word responsibility is in the head, whatever car u drive, this will not happen. How can a super car rammed another car not due to unforeseen circumstances. This is liken firing a missile to destroy the target similar to a war destroying the enemy. So, no matter what argument the Ferrari is doing…. This is utterly irresponsible act… The brain is permanently damaged Asshole. We cannot tolerate such reckless act. New rule has to be installed. Regardless any supercar owner committed the speeding offence will go to jail seemed to be the order of the day with immediate effect to stop these bastard to tear down the road.

      The traffic rules and law are already in place.

      Everyone who drives during the night after 11pm would have come across those fancy sports cars zooming and zig-zagging past you like they own the fu(king roads.

      I highly suspect the police was given orders from the top to cut these rich sports cars owners some slack and at most give them a “slap on their wrist”.

        Obama, you are absolutely correct. Why is the police not cracking down on these cars racing at night. I once witnessed 15 high performance cars racing down ECP at 1:00 am, midnight. Many of my friends have also seen similar races. If we have seen them, don’t tell me the policemen haven’t. Why? We must ask the Ministry of Home affairs.

Don’t work n yet still criticise sg woman for being sloppy.

    PRC man = contribute to DEADLY road accidently,murderer ((budget terminal)),fights (( coffee shop over chilli or ikan billis thingy))

Lets just say Goodbye to good schs,HDB lower pricing,husbands bla bla bla…and Hello to more study mamas that offers SEX,more road accident,making us Singaporeans become racist on weibo ((the guy fr poly or fr u that was sent back)) bla bla bla…

  146. Frank said

    To be frank, the only person to blame is the Ferrari driver.

    – The ferrari driver didn’t stop at the red light (many many drivers and ESP bus drivers do this in Singapore and its not safe. Regardless of nationality or race)

    – The traffic light was green so the cabbie had right of way.

    So it’s purely that ONE PRC’s fault, not everyone who comes to Singapore. Don’t get me wrong, I am not pro-foreigners, but that is just the facts.

    To avoid this, EVERYONE who drives, cabbies, bus drivers, etc, just need to follow road rules. That’s all. (:

  154. One thing I’d really like to comment on is that weightloss routine fast may be possible by the appropriate diet and exercise. A person’s size
    not just affects appearance, but also the general quality of
    life. Self-esteem, despression symptoms, health risks,
    and also physical abilities are affected in an increase in weight.
    It is possible to just make everything right
    and still gain. In such a circumstance, a medical problem may be the culprit.

    While excessive food instead of enough body exercise are usually
    at fault, common medical ailments and trusted prescriptions could greatly enhance size.
    I am grateful for your post here.
