Driver killed after tree fell on car during downpour
- Thread starter radon39

the facts remain stark here. if that tree fell on an average poor unlucky and he was killed or maimed, then good luck to him. it was the work of nature. but this time it could be a rich man's son who was killed. now hopefully they would sue the gov off their pants!
life in singapore has 2 sets of rules: ONE FOR THE RICH; ONE FOR THE POOR. when the poor meets with such freak accident, case is usually closed and verdicted: MISADVENTURE. let's see what is the other sets of rules for the rich entitle them to.

I myself have face death right in front of my eyes while driving but my appointed time has not come..
1.23rd feb 1995 i was base in Hamilton/cambrige NZ for a mth,i driving to visit a friend farm in strafford/new plymouth when i lost control of my car near mt taranaki..i underestimate the slippery road condition round the curve.i was saying to myself thats it..the car was going down the ravine when a small shrub stop it from going down.phew thank god for a second chance..
i should have died in this.
23rd dec 2004 before the great tsunami around 5pm i was driving on the NS highway to penang,passing the tunnel after ipoh..as i was going downhill i lost control of my car and this time i was saying to myself GOD my life is in your hand,the car just bang here there and flip a few time i really thought i am gone amazingly i am still alive upside down in the car,i mnage to crawl out,imagine if an on coming bus or lorry came and crash into my car,traffic was quite busy during xmas time.

A tree falls on a lexus, someone could die.

Natural disasters such as this don't differentiate among economic classes. Perhaps that's a good thing, otherwise nothing will get done.
Really a pity! Makes me ponder what life is about? Some more, i think he just started his software company. Live life and be happy is most important,Hope he RIP.
The other day, I went to this fortune telling website and checked how I will leave this world, it says I will go due to accident. I am thinking of leaving a note for my loved ones,just incase.
Life is really too much of a mystery and unpredictable! So to all my forummer friends, although I dun know you but I hope you are happy.

SINGAPORE : A widow plans to seek compensation for the death of her husband in a freak accident last Friday. He was killed when the crane boom of a lorry smashed into the upper deck of the bus he was in.
Singaporeans have again opened their hearts - and wallets - to a family in need. The late Ahmad Lispa and family were featured in MediaCorp Channel 5's "Renovaid" last year. Their flat was spruced up as part of the helping hand extended to underprivileged families.
Mr Ahmad earned less than S$800 a month as a cleaner. Two of his four children suffer from kidney problems. One of them undergoes dialysis at home for 10 hours everyday. Madam Rokiah Atnen recalls her last conversation with him. She said: "I called him at home at about 4pm. He asked me to wait for him. My heart did not feel good. I didn't expect the accident to be so serious."
The couple had planned to meet and visit their eldest son at the Institute of Mental Health. It is understood that he still does not know that his father had died. Police have arrested a foreign worker from a landscape management company for causing death by negligence.
Replying to media queries, SBS Transit said it visited the family a day after the accident to offer its condolences. And as a gesture of goodwill, it has extended some financial aid to the family to help them defray the funeral and living expenses. Nearly 100 people have offered help. Some even wanted to help with medical and education expenses. Among those who cared are sisters Hazel Tan and Cheryl Tan.
Cheryl said: "I have got kids of this age, so I can imagine how she feels. So I thought whatever I can help, to ... allay her fears, her livelihood, and livelihood of her children, I will do my part. I just might come and visit her every month, see how it goes." Hazel said: "I hope they can accept that their dad is no longer around. I believe it is very sudden for them and I hope they can cope."
Donations are also streaming in through a Facebook group. Over 3,000 have joined, with about S$7,000 collected so far. The money will be handed to the family at the end of this week.

IN an accident eerily similar to Tuesday's fallen tree tragedy, three passengers made a lucky escape after a tree fell on their car in Ang Mo Kio on Thursday during another heavy downpour.
The incident happened at about 7.45am at a road junction near Block 226, Ang Mo Kio Street 22.
The passengers managed to get away with some scratches but their car - a Blue Chevrolet - was badly damaged with its back windscreen completely shattered.
The passengers remained in their car until the Singapore Civil Defence Force came to their aid.

NParks have been getting out of hand, platning trees & shrubs everywhere yet not maintaining it.
how often we have to see tree pruning on the busiest time of the day on the roads? how often we see trees fell over after a heavy storm?
not to mention that how much is being spent every year on pruning these trees, and the fallen leaves have been clogging the drains and causing floods.

Chewed, Agree on this one, they have nothing better to do than catch people feeding pigeons, or sleeping on park benches. Behave arrogantly, talk loudly, thinking they are the police. Having their contractors park in the middle of the road or the extreme right lane without the lane or hazard lights on, its just an accident waiting to happen.
