He did not apologize and insist there is a "Look" on the floor shows that he is only concern whether he will get into trouble or not rather than whether the old lady is injured or not.

orh.. like that is authority never think properly.

next time please put "Look out for pedestrian and Look out for cyclist"

both also need to look out..
when hit, both also cannot use the same excuse. hehe

Either pedestrian walkway or road. I prefer they ride on road so they don’t injured others.

If they are malicious, everywhere they go will also harm people. On the road, drivers must zham brakes for them, potentially causing accidents on others. Hit them will kena fine/ jail/ reduced NCD.

SINGAPORE – Even though the traffic lights at a T-junction in Upper Bukit Timah Road had already turned red for five seconds, a man cycled through the junction and rammed into a 70-year-old pedestrian crossing the road.

The pedestrian, who had the green man in his favour, was flung onto the road and died in hospital on the same day.

The cyclist, Lester Lu Su Min, 49, was sentenced to two months’ jail on Oct 31 after pleading guilty to causing death by performing a rash act not amounting to culpable homicide.

Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) Ng Jun Kai said that at around 5.30am on March 6, 2024, Lu left his home to meet his friend at Upper Thomson Road to go cycling.

From the meeting point, Lu and his friend cycled along Upper Thomson Road, Mandai Road, and Upper Bukit Timah Road.

As Lu was approaching a T-junction along Upper Bukit Timah Road towards Jalan Anak Bukit, the traffic lights turned red, but Lu did not stop his bicycle.

“Instead, after the traffic lights at the T-junction had turned red for approximately five seconds, the accused cycled across the T-junction at a considerable speed and collided directly into the deceased, who was crossing the T-junction which was showing the green man for pedestrians,” said DPP Ng.

The speed at which Lu was cycling at was not mentioned in court.

The force of the collision propelled the elderly pedestrian onto the road where he landed on his back.

The victim was taken to National University Hospital, where he died.

Seeking a jail term of 2½ to 3½ months’ jail, DPP Ng highlighted how Lu had deliberately beat the red light before colliding with the victim, who was crossing on the green man.

In sentencing, District Judge John Ng told Lu: “It is an unfortunate situation you have for yourself. It is also very sad for the family of the deceased. Nobody intends to be in such situations.”

According to the mid-year traffic figures released in August, more people were killed or injured in road traffic accidents in the first half of 2025, compared with the same period a year ago.

There were 78 fatal accidents from January to June, up from 70 in the first half of 2024, with the number of deaths rising from 72 to 79.

In 2024, the number of people killed and injured in traffic accidents hit a five-year high.

The cyclist should be jailed, just as a driver who killed someone in a similar situation would be jailed.

But the penalty is too light.

 

[qcy888]

2 months jail for killing another person. What a freaking joke!

 

[dry_county]

Hope the cyclist will repent….

He is kena jailed, read the article. My question is, road bike or ebike? No matter what bike, if the cyclist failed to keep a lookout for pedestrian, then the pedestrian should also keep a lookout (look left and right to check clear) and not assume green man means safe to cross.

 

[Jacknjill]

Wouldn’t the cyclist be thrown forward upon impact. Why the cyclist can’t walk away without injury?

The person who was jailed for buying bubble tea during COVID-19 was actually a woman, a former nurse named Nurul Afiqah binte Mohammed, who was sentenced to seven weeks in jail.

She had returned to Singapore from Australia in March 2020 and was serving a 14-day Stay-Home Notice (SHN). She breached her SHN on multiple occasions, one of which included taking a bus to a mall to buy bubble tea. She also visited a pregnant friend to help with wedding preparations and later tested positive for COVID-19. She pleaded guilty to three charges under the Infectious Diseases Act, with four others considered during sentencing.

The man who ate bak kut teh in public while on a Stay-Home Notice (SHN) during the COVID-19 pandemic in Singapore was identified as Alan Tham Xiang Sheng.

He was sentenced to six weeks in jail for breaching his 14-day SHN.

Tham had returned to Singapore from Myanmar on March 23, 2020, and was served with the SHN requiring him to stay home at all times until April 6. Instead of going straight home, he visited several public places, including a food court, a money changer, and another hawker centre where he had his bak kut teh dinner, before buying groceries and returning home late that night. He also posted about his meal on social media, which drew public attention and led to an investigation.
