I'm surprised BMW can catch fire so easily after a accident. I always think Germans place safety first in their design

M4 ah? I know the owner of the M dealership. He is a real asshole. Don't know how he con the BMW factory to give him the exclusive M dealership, instead of giving it to Performance Motors
M Dealership is different from Performance Motors ?

SINGAPORE - Details have emerged on three of the five men who died in an accident in Tanjong Pagar on Saturday (Feb 13) morning as messages of shock and condolences poured in from friends and family on social media.

The men were in a car which slammed into the front of a vacant shophouse and burst into flames at about 5.40am.

The driver of the BMW M4 coupe is believed to be Mr Jonathan Long, 29, while two of his passengers have been identified as Mr Gary Wong Hong Chieh, 29, and Mr Eugene Yap, 29. Mr Wong and Mr Long were long-time friends, according to social media posts.

The Straits Times understands that the two other passengers who died in the crash were Mr Elvin Tan Yong Hao, 28, and Mr Teo Qi Xiang, 26.

A 26-year-old woman, believed to be known to Mr Long, had attempted to assist him and the passengers after the accident. She suffered severe burns to her body and was taken to Singapore General Hospital.

Eugene Yap

According to previous media reports, Mr Yap was a co-founder of the local bubble tea chain Bober Tea.


His Instagram profile also said that he was a wealth manager with Aviva Financial Advisers. Social media posts showed that he and Mr Long were on a trip to the United States together in February last year.

Mr Yap was also pictured with sports cars and supercars in some of these posts.


According to a report by ChannelNewsAsia in August last year, Mr Yap opened the first Bober Tea store here in June 2018 with co-founders Mr Joseph Oh and Mr Gabriel Kok.

Since then, the homegrown label has expanded in Singapore to eight outlets, with franchises also opening in Manila and California.


Gary Wong

According to his social media profiles, Mr Wong had studied IT at the Singapore Management University before starting a career in financial services.

He was also involved in volunteer work during the Covid-19 pandemic last year.

In a Facebook post in May last year, Mr Wong said he and Mr Long had bought thousands of face masks for distribution to needy families.


"Packing everything was really tiring but it will be worth it after all. Stay safe everyone, Covid-19 will be over sooner or later," the caption read.

A Facebook user, who identified herself as Mr Wong's sister, wrote on Saturday: "My beloved brother Gary was killed this morning. He had a big heart... (cared) for his family and loved to help the needy. But this morning, God took him away from us."

Why is it that when rich farkers die, nobody pities them...

It's not rich or poor, or young or old.

If you die due to your own idiocy, we have to laugh.

Pity and sympathy are only reserved for those who died or injured due to that idiocy.

Refer to the rich Tiong and his Ferrari. Pity only the taxi driver and his Jap female passenger.

emergency resources wasted due to reckless driver behaviour, fortumately no innocent pedestrain & road user invovled.

Absolute zero pity and mercy on the driver, all dead passenger collateral damage.

恭喜恭喜Jonathan long.

If that driver had been riding a UL 2272 certified PMD instead of driving a car none of those deaths would have occurred.

This proves once and for all that PMDs are far safer compared to cars.
If it had been a Tesla 3.3s performance model, the emergency restrain feature would have auto pilot the car to safety.
