Re: Two killed, 3 injured in Rochor Road accident
Long post here as it is an update related to the sad incident.
The mysterious female passenger of the red Ferrari involved in the Rochor Road crash is rumoured to be a popular hostess of a famous nightclub in Singapore.
The woman, a Chinese national in her twenties, is now receiving treatment at Tan Tock Seng Hospital for a broken right leg, Shin Min Daily News reported.
In the early hours of Sunday morning, the Ferrari is believed to have beaten a red ligh...t and crashed into a taxi.
Three people have died and two are injured.
Among the dead is the driver of the sports car, Ma Chi, a financial investor from Sichuan, China.
Taxi driver Cheng Teck Hock and his female Japanese passenger Ito Shigemi also died in the accident.
According to Mr Ma’s pregnant wife and friends, they have no idea who the Ferrari passenger is.
Rumours has spread that the female friend is a hostess that Mr Ma picked up at a nightclub just before the accident, Shin Min reported.
Some have also claimed to have seen the Ferrari outside the club several times.
However, when approached by a reporter, the valet staff at the night club said they have never seen the vehicle.
Mr Ma also appeared to be fond of driving fast, according to reports online.
His wife, known to reporters as Ms He, explained that her husband would sometimes take his $1.8 million car for a spin in the wee hours of the morning when the roads are deserted.
In October last year, a netizen has claimed that Mr Ma’s Ferrari was travelling too fast to be captured on camera, the newspaper said.
Under a thread where car enthusiasts post pictures of rare cars in Singapore, the netizen posted the car model and plate number, before commenting that “it was too fast for me to take a picture”, it added.
Mr Ma’s body was cremated today.
According to Lianhe Wanbao newspaper, his mother, wife and four-year-old daughter were present for the last rites, but did not follow the cortege to Mandai crematorium.
Meanwhile, the wife of the taxi driver said he died in hospital after being in intensive care ward for more than a day.
Lim Choo Eng told reporters that doctors in Tan Tock Seng hospital had already pronounced her husband brain dead.
But Mr Cheng, the sole bread winner of his family, apparently hung on because he wanted to let his family know what really happened, according to the newspaper.
His family told the cabbie to “go in peace, since your children are already grown up”, but Mr Cheng, who was seen shedding tears, hung on.
On Sunday evening, after the family found out how the accident happened, they repeated their plea to Mr Cheng.
“We know it was not your fault. You did not drive recklessly,” they told him.
On hearing this, Mr Cheng opened his eyes and his heartbeat slowly stopped, the newspaper said.
End of Post. Thanks for reading. Again my condolences to the victims especially Mr Cheng who suffered most.

Re: Two killed, 3 injured in Rochor Road accident
haha..not trying to start another flame war, but i hope u not inferring the 1st case you mentioned from this tragedy.
anyway, sadly, that's general public reaction, you can't stop it and that's the world we are living in.
Whether rich or not, justice will prevail one way or another..sometimes not in the face of law, but in different forms.
As for your examples, to me, killing others or causing deep grievances to others due to your mistakes, and yet lives on, is worse than being dead.

May 15 (Straits Times) -- SALES of supercars here have accelerated over the years, and some drivers of these high-powered automobiles say they prefer taking them out for a spin at night when the roads are clear. The Land Transport Authority (LTA) had on its records 4,149 Porsches, Maseratis, Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Aston Martins last year, up from the 3,376 the year before.
The German-made Porsches seem the most popular, with 584 registered last year; Ferraris came in second, with 92 models registered the same year. Even as these buyers vroom out of the showrooms, the question of whether they can handle these cars safely at high speeds may be another matter.
In the wee hours of last Saturday, a red Ferrari got into a three-way crash with a taxi and a motorcycle at the junction of Rochor Road and Victoria Street. The crash has killed the Ferrari's driver, the taxi driver and his female Japanese passenger, and left two others injured and still in hospital.
The Traffic Police have been, however, unable to give a breakdown of the number of speeding tickets issued by type of vehicle, but one thing is clear - more such tickets have been issued with each passing year. Last year, there were 225,550 speeding offences; the year before, there were 205,000, and in 2009, 173,000.
The owners of fast cars and driving clubs say they have seen more fast cars here in the last few years. Sports Car Club Singapore president Rosalind Choo, 31, who organises night drives here for members, said that if there are more such cars, then it stands to reason that more of them will get into accidents. She said that discipline and safety are the watchwords in the night drives she organises. 'It's dangerous to have people who don't follow instructions,' said the insurance agent, who drives a Mercedes Benz SLK.
The club sets up driving trips at 11pm twice a month for up to 30 cars, but, she said, they never go above the speed limit.
A 25-year-old sales executive who declined to give his name admits to taking his parents' Jaguar XF out after midnight when he feels the need for speed. He said: 'I let my mind go blank. It's very relaxing. My average speed is about 130 to 140kmh, but I've hit 190 before when the road was clear. 'I slow down when I see another vehicle, and always drive on the right-outermost lane.'
Taxi drivers, who are on the roads more than most people, say they have seen more cars busting the speed limit. Relief taxi driver M. Salim said races usually take place late on Saturday night and go on until early on Sunday. 'I was driving my taxi six months ago when these sports cars zoomed by at speeds of around 110kmh, from Orchard Road to Changi Airport and back again,' he said.
Some self-confessed speedsters say they favour expressways or roads with fewer traffic lights like Lim Chu Kang and Lornie roads.
But most like Mr Alvin Chan, 38, who drives a BMW Z4 convertible, do not think the risk is worth taking. He said: 'I never ride at night on my own, or speed. I go to the race tracks at Sepang every month and go as fast as I like. It's legal and safe.'
