T-Bone

I was in a dilemma, as to what to name this post, since i meant to put my down my thoughts on the recent Ferrari, Taxi and Motorcycle crash which snuffed out two precious lives at the bugis area of Singapore.

So please dont mistake it for my favourite cut of steak !

I was unfortunate enough to look at the video on Clip from Stomp.com.sg and was horrified at the sight

As i Followed the Story - horror turned into disgust, disbelief and outrage

a. it is reported that some pathetic creature was stealing or collecting the money strewn over from the accident victim, in the aftermath !! even when the victim was crying out in pain !!!

b. one netizen raised a pertinent question as to why, the accident victims were not taken to Raffles Hospital, which is a stone throw away from the unfortunate incident?

c. The question of banning high speed cars raised with the PTC is still festering like an open wound, though i totally agree with PTC's stand - its not the cars that matter, its the drivers who are accountable.

I always joked with every taxi uncle when we were overtaken by a classic red ferrari, saying "so where do you think that ferrari is going in a hurry?? the next traffic light is it "?? In singapore there is a traffic light every 100 meters what !!!

Well - jokes apart, what fault was it of the cabby, the passenger to lose their lives in such horrific manner ?? What fault was it of the unseen victims, who have to live with losing their loved ones all their Life??

I hope to God that the ferrari driver was sober and it is a case of reckless driving and not DUI too !

Rest in Peace Cheng Teck Hock, Shigemi Ito and for whatever its worth Rest In Peace Ma Chi.
