tiagong only but I was studying emergency nursing and someone shared the gap is not random but actually the border area between Singapore and Malaysia (very specifically there is a line in the middle).

The gap is there cos if there is an accident on the causeway or 2nd link, let’s say it’s on the Malaysian side towards Singapore, the ambulance can travel there, then bring the patient back to Malaysia by u turning there. Same for Singapore side.

Cos Malaysian ambulance or fire service cannot cross over to Singapore and u turn at the checkpoint. Same as scdf.

But it’s not really that common for accidents to happen on the bridge itself but when it does, which part of the bridge you are on determines if it’s Malaysian fire service or scdf who responds and then they need to u turn to return to home country without crossing the border.

You obviously HAVE NOT been to the Kompleks Sultan Abu Bakar checkpoint.

ALSO, I am NOT talking about the bridge.

I am talking about the area AROUND the checkpoint.

"𝐺𝑜𝑜𝑑𝑏𝑦𝑒 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑛𝑜𝑤. 𝑊ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝑚𝑦 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒 𝑖𝑠 𝑢𝑝, 𝑤𝑒 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑚𝑒𝑒𝑡 𝑎𝑔𝑎𝑖𝑛. 𝐼 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢." – Ms Hu Yi Ting, Zen’s girlfriend

Shortly after midnight on June 8, he was on his Yamaha R7, when he collided with a car making a U-turn along the Second Link after Tuas Checkpoint heading towards Johor Bahru.

31-year-old Tay Zhi Yang, known to his friends as Zen, was thrown into the air due to the collision and landed more than 20metres from the scene of the accident.

He was pronounced dead at the scene. Zen was 31, only 31 years of age.

A bike enthusiast, Zen loved nothing better than riding on two wheels. Those two wheels lift his spirits and move his soul. The knowing light in his eyes, the wind in his sails.

The throttle twisted, the crisp exhaust roars, music to his ears. Drop the clutch and he hit the streets, all and sundry left behind.

City lights below a glowing, through the curves, around the bend. He was not reckless. He was pursuing his passion and dreams.

As a motorcycle instructor at the Bukit Batok Driving Centre for the past five years, he was a strong advocate of safety on the roads, and he tries his responsible best to inculcate this to every trainee.

Described as an “optimistic” person, he would often visit his friends at the servicing and repair workshop at Pioneer that he frequents, just for a cup of coffee and some casual conversation.

Today there are no more conversations, only tears that continue to overflow.

He was a good friend to many. Let us remember the dignity of the man, the quiet throttle of his character and the grand size of his heart

Every biker is cognisant of the risks involved, but Zen was always vigilant on his bike.
Too soon he left to travel, but he is safe now from any harm, beyond where we can see.
It’s all about his bike. It’s all about the journey, riding free.

Hereafter, each time his best mates throw their legs over the saddle, they know that they are only one mere throttle away from Zen and his memories. They would think of how much they learned from him, and how lucky their paths had once met.

Today, on behalf of Zen, his brethren will ride the roads, behind visors to cover their tears - Together, they ride as one.

Forever riding free. Farewell, Zen. You will always be a whisper in our minds. Thank you for being who you are.

Motor bike instructor.
Whose fault?

 

[qhong61]

Car u turn. not the biker

So car driver fault?

 

[blurredprint]

So car driver fault?

The victim was my younger cousin's friend...nice chap gone too soon...

Car was indeed authorised to do U-turn there, but not sure if the car even checked blind spot before turning although any compensation also meaningless now

RIP to a young sinkie...
