Loss of a young life brings tears to my eyes. Do not speed even when in hurry.
Please move early, don't ride so fast to catch the time

How long?
@@mrtienphysics666 at least 10 years😂
They should be charged with attempting murder!! This should not be categorised as accident, since a teenager girl was killed
How do you know they are "speeding"???
no use, must cane
This is Singapore road traffic Teddy Bear law...... accident death cause by reckless driving, only jail 1-2 years.....few years later can drive again after retake driving test......but nothing is going to compensate the dead and the permanently disfigured victims....... where else, having a few grams of drug in possession will land you in hangman capital death penalty 😮
PS: I'm not saying drug related shouldn't be a death penalty, but likewise reckless driving causing dead victims, should be heavier punishment than current 1-2 years Changi Chalet stays.
There is a difference. It is indeed unfortunate for the victims in any kind of accidents. But when you are talking about illegal drug addiction, you are talking about bringing down the whole family to its knees, and not just that, hundreds and thousands and ten of thousands of other families, or should I just say the society. Singapore isn't big. We have to be efficient in every way to survive in this world as a small country. Can you imagine the row of towns from Bishan to Pasir Ris for example, are all drug addicts? Who would want to come here and invest and create jobs?
@@godsakezz
Agree with you.
Unfortunately, some people just comment without thinking!!!
@@godsakezzBut reckless driving resulting in death also destroys families right? If we are talking about the impact of the crimes, why should punishment of reckless be so minor? I don’t expect capital punishment, but at least make it a few decades of jailtime?
I agree, we have some of the worst drivers in the world here in Singapore. So ego, when you drive in other countries, you know how unpleasant our drivers are.
i assume the jail time for smoking is longer?
So sad...student died in that accident. Innalillahiwainnailayhirajiun

Time for journalists to do some in-depth reporting of the lack of enforcement on Singapore roads. Don't just rely on traffic cameras. TP presence will surely make road users think twice before breaking the laws. You can see, cyclists, pedestrians, motorists not following traffic rules 24/7. Speeding, reckless and dangerous driving, failure to form up, tail gating, road rages, the list goes on.
well said
They tend to do that in Malaysia's highway and I'm not gonna be silence for this fact
one main reason is police only in patrol cars. Hardly any on foot patrol. Hence cyclists, jaywalkers, drivers wreck havoc on other people who are law abiding.
They say low crime doesn’t mean no crime. But no TP in sight means siaolang can drive like maniac.
Student at tp here 50% of students were well late becuz of this yesterday
It comes to a point that there are a handful of people out there with no accountability. They put other peoples safety and lives in jeopardy and think they can walk away easily. This is as sickening as it can get.
You misspelled Obama
What a Narcissitic driver. They are a nuisance and dangerous for the road users.
Psychological tests to these drivers, if narcissistic traits detected, deny license
More enforcement and stiffer penalties please! nowadays driving on SG roads has become nerve racking and even outright dangerous at times!!
Saab was speeding
whatsaab with that Killer?!
I watched the actual cam footage. I have a different opinion to this. This is only secondarily a speeding issue. It is primarily a behaviour issue.
We do not drive like this on public roads, we do not hit cars and then drive away, or drive through a red light frontally into the other traffic. The speed has made it worse, however the issue here is the attitude displayed on a public road. This person - whoever it is - is a driver who is too immature for permitting him to drive a car, and who should not let onto the road for many many years, except on foot.
i noticed there are a lot of erratic drivers nowadays, many did not stop at the zebra crossing as we are crossing the zebra crossing. they thought they are faster than us and just zoom past, there are a lot of racing cars at the upper thomson road opposite thomson plaza, wish traffic police can install speed cams
Why the law is so lax on speed offenders in Singapore? Who is well paid but not doing a proper job?
Must report the driver’s name.
Just weeks ago Ch8 Tuesday report did an episode on the girlfriend of a few speed demons who died a few years ago at Tanjong Pagar. Instead of seeing the right side of things, the surviving girlfriend and the dead ah bengs were all hailed as heroes, objects of sympathy! We see having a car as a sign of being successful, the Singapore dream. All these perceptions have to change. No more pity and tributes for speed demons and the penalties for such offences when innocent lives are involved should be raised tenfold!
I didn't know Ch8 will have such rubbish journalism. I mean I know it is rubbish, but I didn't know they can sunk so low. Back then, all the Ah Bengs were condemned, but the girlfriend is at least praised for her "true love" to try to save her boyfriend. But they speed and run their sport car into the home of a resident and killed the guy sitting in his living room. Did the episode omit this detail?
What really?
What heroes? They were condemned to hell when it happened.
I think they were celebrating the bravery of the girl who suffered like 90% burns after trying to save her boyfriend. Then again the flames were invisible (they were using some weird fuel for nitro) and she probably didn't feel the pain while in the heat of the moment.
The PAP-pists are responsible for these social problems
Oh dear...deepest condolences
The driver should faced the full forced of the law for his action

time to review road traffic act section 65
Driving ban for life
No, time to start enforcing with dedicated traffic patrols
@@ongweeyan4407 Agree , Must stated ban all sort of driving license for life.
Only jail for 1-2 years + Good behaviour early release + Yellow Ribbon + 1-2 years later, the public blindly thinks that this person deserves a 2nd chance without knowing what he did.
No matter how well you all type here, our law practitioners still think our current law is called 'justice'. Gov also think that the punishment is sufficient, 'justice'. No use being angry here unless someone with the power starts doing something... well wait long long, because it will never happen.
reckless drivers these days
Please investigate the white Mercedes for speeding up with the Saab. Dangerous driving costs 2 lives.
doesnt matter
@@ysngngys7753why? he didnt crash into anyone but sped up and challenged the black car
It's was just a brief moment of racing. The black car was already speeding beforehand and overtaken the Mercedes by quite a distance before causing the accident. It's not an excuse for the black car not to stop at the junction. I think the black car should bear the full responsibility of this fatal accident.
Undertaker in the black car

RIP Condolence to the grieving family
I feel sorry to hear that 😯
Rules have to be tightened a lot lot more and punishments must be way more severe looking at never ending selfish, arrogance, dangerous and reckless attitude of these drivers. Current laws are way too lenient!!
Showing OFF luxury cars,Arrogant, Holding high position, Big House, Branded Stuff, Looking Down on poor and middle class people are all temporary.
When you pass on, the house you stay in is without any windows and only you Alone. Respect,Be humble,help people in need and etc. We are nothing in this world just the same as others.
When you die only the name will be engraved on the tombstone. God already wrote on how our life circles.
most likely new rich china immigrant.
Isnt this a COE car? So definitely not a luxury/expensive car. @moonlightaffairs what's with the xenophobic remark? You know many rich China Immigrant who drives like that in an old car meh?
@@lywo733loll who let the edmw dogs out
SAAB isn't a luxury car though..
Always blame the rich, but always want to be rich... 😂 like as if the poor cannot make mistakes. Poor ppl make bad choices in life that is why they are still poor. They never ask why they are poor, n they always blame others. Such are human beings. The middle class always thinks that the poor is the rich ppl's problem, never their problem. Sometimes I wonder who is bullying who? The poor or the rich? N what this accident got to do with the rich or the poor. Cars knocked cars, which car is not branded? All cars have brands name so they are all branded cars.
Really, the sadness cannot be expressed by words. The person causing the accident must fully be held accountable.
Soo sad,😢🙏🙏
Probably a short term jail and some small fines for the black car. Traffic laws are very chill here.
As more concrete evidences emerged, Saab driver is game-over
The question is what are u doing here
Convicted under rash act. Probably few years of years unless he is drinking if not will be considered a petty crime
Why so quick to judge!!!
Saab probably on weed. So many people on weed these days
Someone did a similar thing and kill a old person, only go jail for a year.
min 20 years jail, please
Cane too
What a Selfish drivers, wasting everybody’s time and causing unnecessary troubles to the public.
Not only that, it caused a daughter and a mom
Really always see speeding and totally tinted black windows of cars but TP does not seem to know such probs
Speed curbing device should be installed on all cars. In Singapore 90kmh should be enough. Many Singapore registered vehicles also speeding in Malaysia as Singapore do not have many roads that can travel at high speed.
Just because of one accident u r Paranoid? 😂
Please explains what is paranoid means?
There are so many mf drivers on the road nowadays!
Agreeable too many vehicles will causes accidents.🎉🎉🎉
A disregard for safety on the road.
We must be a responsible and civic minded road users.
Innocent lives are lost and injured.
SPEED KILLS.
Never ever take things for granted.
We are all just living on borrowed time.
Prevention is better than cure.
Better be safe than sorry.
No use crying over spilt milk.
Condolences to the bereaved family and speedy recovery to those injured.
speeding does not kill though it leads to the sudden stop that kills.
RIP🙏🌹🌹🙏😔
It is a mess...
Unfortunate fate...😢😢😢
Too many vehicles on the road nowadays could easily causes accidents.😅😅😅
7yrs jail recently for Mercs driver and 2 weeks for another who killed a motorcyclist. So between 7yr and 2 weeks. Make your guess.
Where is the culprit identity CNA????
Is time to stop human from driving
RIP to all those who died. I just heard the girl's father died from his injuries as well. My condolences to their families.
Rip 🙏🙏🙏
The pedestrian crossing lights were still blinking when it occurred. It could have gotten alot more worse.
win liao lor....RIP
Is there any place in Singapore where you can drive as fast as you want LEGALLY without endangering innocent lives and without getting caught by the traffic police?
To all the drivers, please do not speed.
you have AHs. This Driver is surely a BIG ONE!
Over speed?
😢😢
Who is the driver? 😮😮
Is the black car trying to race with the white car before the accident?
to think how small SG is 😐
There are those of us who drive normally, then there are these reckless idiots.
But pedestrians blame every driver....
Damn💀
😢🙏
Speed demon 👿
Some drivers are reckless, dont slow down nor stop at crossings.
Some pedestrians use mobiles at crossings..
There been cars racing around in even PM
Rip
At traffic Junction cars shouldn't be speeding at high speed right? The impact of the accident suggest a high speed rampage.
How does this tragic accident compare with certain pple who demand that foreign workers be provided with better tptn? Anyone has info/stats about casualties of such foreign workers?
Anthony never show face to explain how he egged saab driver to speed up?
small country but so many accident
I posted on this same video but on another subscriber that the culprit will most likely be barred from driving and be fined.Someone replied that the culprit will get jailed as reflected by the media.I replied a few weeks jail is not justification.
my sister knows the 17 year old girl's best friend,she is really in pain, in a pain i do not wish on anyone
She is my uncle's eldest granddaughter. A very bright girl. I just lost my mother a week ago and now I lost one of my relative. The father who was driving had to go for emergency surgery but the prognosis doesn't look good.
My prayers are with you, hopefully the father will be alright
Shaaaag🤷🏼♂️
@@mojazzz284 I am sad for her. My condolences to your family and relatives. May her soul RIP. Forgive me. I feel that the picture of the girl and those injured should been kept for the family's sake. It may become a reminder to the parents.
@mojazzz284 the father is the one driving black saab?
think he will plead with brake failure... or car with problems... or sudden mental issue..
Is it an accident? Or is it murder or reckless killing? He didn’t even tried breaking! Unless his car faulty he should be given a harsh sentence
اِنَّا لله واِنًّا اليه راجعون
اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهاَ وارْحَمهاَ وعَافِهاَ وَاعْفُ عَنْهاَ
Fines for speeding must be harsh..and no exceptions esp in built up busy areas.
Tell us whos the murderer of the girl who just wanted to go to school ????????
Where are the TPs!!
Sleeping.
It is so obvious that Saab ran away after collision with merc. Things to hide ? Unpaid road tax , endless accidents records or illegal possession of some stuff ? Anyway that’s shown how incompetent our laws are. Why isn’t such lawless people jailed or punished asap ? PAP need to act kind for their political gain ?
I don't have the statistics but from reported cases in the local newspapers,the culprits were merely given short sentences and a meagre fine.
First degree murder case
Is temasek jc not temasek poly
Just how many times have accidents like this had happen and all the get is a few weeks or months jail term.
Just that? Why no hush punishment for these type of fatal penalty? Should include at least 6 stroke of caning and if SINGAPORE can serve this penalty on overstayers that does not endanger others while drink driving, speeding and reckless driving does just get a few weeks, or months jail for taking away a precious lives. More like justice is not on the sides of the innocent fatal bystanders.
Is it time to use AI to log the speeds of all vehicles then analyse if they have reckless driving tendencies
The MRT station is just right there. I dont see a reason why ppl choose deadlier cars than safer MRT. Unless u carry heavy goods
people dont only drive cars, or vehicles in general, for carrying heavy goods.
cars are just faster, they can go from point A to B in a single trip without having to change lines like the mrt. imagine how much time would be saved, especially for people who need to get to somewhere urgently.
u also mentioned that the MRT station is “right there”. you cant just assume that all drivers on the road live right next to MRT stations. there are neighbourhoods that have people take 10-20 min walks just to get to the station if they live deep inside those neighbourhoods. again, picture how much time would be wasted just to walk there. i wouldnt blame them if public or private transports, including cars, were their only option left.
people also drive cars to make a living too yk. grab drivers, delivery businesses etc etc. not everyone is driving just because they want to, but because they need to.
u are also right to say that cars are more dangerous since we have reckless people driving like they own the road, but we can’t really blame the car, that situation would be on the driver for being so inconsiderate by putting the lives of others on the line, like we have seen countless times before
@@DaviddeAzri Yes u are also right in that sense to to say that people need to get from pt A to pt B urgently, for example to go to hospital to see a despawning relative. The main point im talking about is for people to use car/private hire vehicles only when its really urgent like what we both mentioned just now. If there are too many people unnecessarily driving cars just because its comfortable, then those who need to drive the most will be stuck in traffic jams, defeating the entire purpose of driving. Besides majority of cars still use combustion engines and require more space to operate in which its not very good to have in a changing climate and in land scarce Singapore. Therefore it is why i want more people to use more public transport so that pedestrians and urgent motorists can get from pt A to B safely and quickly without hurting the climate
Govt wont care abt citizens..they just want money..unsafe drivers/riders, not their concern..
Why not cars? U dont have to stand and face the crowd during peak hours, u have ur own space to sit comfortably n go wherver ur want in one sitting, and also faster. If cars were as cheap as the ones in malaysia who wouldn't buy it?
@@Khai_ser ahh, i see i see, u are also right in saying that cars affect the climate and that public transport is a more environmentally friendly option. i have nothing against public transportation, but car manufacturers are already switching to more sustainable ways like electric cars. all we have to do is to trust the process.
but im not sure what u mean by the part where u talk about people driving because it is “comfortable”, if ur talking about comfortable as in like “making life much easier”, then i believe that my points listed in my first comment address that.
but if we are talking about “comfortable” as in like “driving around to have fun and enjoy”, then i think that those type of drivers are very limited since the cost of living here is rising. everything is getting more expensive, so i’d assume that said type of drivers are starting to actually find a proper reason to own cars, instead of keeping them for the sake of it
😢😢😢😢
Many car driver fail to stop or give way Now day cross road must very careful
White Mercedes speeding too. Investigate please.
Speed like Hell, the sooner you get there.
Thing is, the driver who sped to hell, didn’t die, but 2 innocents did. Speeding driver is the Grim Reaper! Taking the 2 victims !
@@jamesng9811 Life is unfair
When the Saab impacted the Merc, it slow down before speeding up, this show Saab is performing ok or that small impact caused the accelerator to get stuck when the Saab GTA across that junction.
If there are no mechanical fault, as when most Singaporean will that driver will be jailed for a very long time.
A good driver is the one who can drive safely along the journey, NOT who can speed.
but idiot driver also can drive safely on the journey too...causing other accident or endanger other ...good driver is to stay alert at all time and avoid dangerous ..i saw many using hp and webcam while driving ..but are they good driver? cos they drive back safely...

We waste money on OBU not road safety
I have a feeling that the Saab driver might be driving illegally, most regular people after the sideswipe incident with the Mercs would have stopped by the side instead of trying to run like he did, Probably because they don't have a license (maybe suspended from driving) and would be in a ton of trouble if he had stopped, unfortunately this led to the fatal accident.
Stupidity is an element of force in human for which no earthquake is a match.
Stupidity is a choice but some human abuse it.
Singapore is a strange country. I remember a long time ago, there were young men who killed someone without a driving licence and were only sentenced to four months in prison.
In one case, the perpetrator had a good family background and was an intellectual. Isn't this a dangerous sign reflecting the social situation in Singapore? All sorts of things in society can now be judged by anyone without asking the AI.
Many people think Lee Kuan Yew was an irreplaceable dictator. Since he left, Singapore has become more complicated. It is no longer a society in which anyone feels safe.
I think Singapore will become a mediocre country and may even collapse soon. What do you think?
This person said he sped up to make the Saab (Black Car) slow down. He lied. He sped up to trap him behind another motorist. He simply cannot tolerate anyone speeding pass him and owning a AmG 43, he wanted to unleash the horsepower and fxxxk the black car over. The Saab avoided the front motorist and sideswiped the Merc. This person is also another to be prosecuted severely; not withstanding the fact, that when the Saab hit him, the driver looked at the rear view mirror and wondered what did he hit. By the time he looked straight again, it was too late. This Merc is guilty. If you looked at the video carefully, when the merc power up to force the Saab (black car) , this Saab driver noticed a motorist in front and he did swerved to avoid hitting this front motorist; despite driving at fast speed. The actual cause of the people’s death is this merc driver. It is common sense, to look in the mirror what did you hit. It is this distraction that took the Saab’s driver eyes off the road. Thus, this Merc driver attributed to this terrible accident. He deregistered his vehicle immediately the following day and other netizens have surfaced his other intimidating and arrogant road behaviors. If he had allowed the black Saab to overtake, he may have kept his eyes on the road and thus, this disaster may not incur the loss of lives. He lied without conscience and does not repent. Yet, he is trying to lie his way out when other moans for their family member’s death. Netizens should disclose who he is. Everything is under wrapped for the moment from the authorities pending investigation. I feel very sorry for the lost ones and their family and yet I am angry to see this Merc driver trying to get away and not be implicated for his vicious action. People died. How are their families going to live through this sudden loss. Yet, we have a liar who doesn’t own up for his actions and defending his innocent stance.
guess their race??
