What is there to compare when we both share a common history until the last couple of centuries?

Just because I can't stand the behaviour of many of them does not mean I have to insult the whole country and their ancestors. I am not sure whether the locals or the British like the behaviour of our ancestors very much when they came to SG.

You would be better served to channel your energies into thinking how to influence government policies rather than hating them personally (unless of course, you have been cheated by them or something).

Why always car salesman driving astronomical speed that get into fatal accident? MOM should send them to get the core trade certificate, at the moment the building trademen required this, the housing agent next, follow by car salesmen is most appropiate.

<!-- story content : start --> SHE had started piano lessons at a music school in Punggol Plaza three weeks ago and was already showing a flair for the keys. But while on the way to her weekly class on Tuesday evening with her grandfather, a car ploughed into Zhao Lin Qian, killing the five-year-old instantly. The pair were believed to have been jaywalking across the two-lane Punggol Field Road at about 8pm when she was hit. There was a pedestrian crossing as well as an overheard bridge nearby, but they had not used either. Lin Qian was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics, said a Singapore Civil Defence Force spokesman. Police said that a 27-year-old car salesman, who was at the wheel of the Subaru Impreza, has been arrested and investigations are ongoing.

This begs the questions of why should a driver be held responsible if the pedestrian themselves do not even want to hold responsibility for their own safety by jay walking?

What can you do? TP told me before even if you killed or injured a pedestrian and they jaywalked, they would only be slapped a $20 fine.

5-year-old girl killed: Impreza driver negligent, says coroner
18 Aug 2010​

A CAR salesman's negligence caused the death of five-year-old Zhao Lin Qian in a traffic accident last year, said the State Coroner.
Mr Tijan Syafiq Selamat, 27, was driving at 71kmh to 85kmh in a 50kmh zone and never even saw the little girl crossing the road.
Announcing his findings yesterday, Coroner Kessler Soh said the motorist had not exercised a proper lookout on the night of Dec 1.
'In my opinion, it was negligent to travel at such a high speed along a road near a bus stop serving a densely populated estate,' noted Coroner Soh.
The fatal accident could have been averted if the motorist had been more careful, said the coroner.
It is now up to the Attorney-General's Chambers to decide if Mr Tijan is to be prosecuted.
The impact of the collision with Mr Tijan's Subaru Impreza flung Lin Qian about 44m. She died of severe head injuries at the scene.
Mr Tijan, who declined to testify at the inquiry last month, had told the police he realised his car had hit something only when he heard a loud bang.
Investigators also found no brake marks on the road to indicate that the car had tried to stop prior to the collision.
Instead, the souped-up car came to a halt some 15m to 20m away.
Lin Qian was with her grandfather that night on her way to a piano lesson, and the pair were waiting by a bus stop to cross the two-lane Punggol Field Road, at about 8.20pm.
According to her grandfather, she let go of his hand and made to cross the road. He rushed after her but she was hit by Mr Tijan's car.
Contrary to what Mr Tijan had told police, investigations revealed there were no vehicles obstructing the motorist's view.
Coroner Soh said that even if Mr Tijan had not seen the 1.2m-tall girl, her grandfather, right behind her, would have been visible.
Witnesses told police that the car had also accelerated suddenly just prior to the collision and this would have cut down the time available for the driver to slow down or adopt evasive action, added the coroner.

But there was no witness to the actual collision.

The girl's father, Mr Zhao Peiyong, a Chinese national and a permanent resident here, told The Straits Times that he would leave matters to the police and the Attorney-General's Chambers before deciding on his next move.
The aircraft maintenance technician said he found it hard to believe that no one had seen the accident itself as the road is usually crowded at that time.
The father of a three-year-old boy said that his parents had returned to China but had not recovered from the death of their granddaughter.
Lawyers said that if there was a prosecution and conviction for causing death through a negligent act, it would strengthen civil action taken by a victim's family.
Mr Tijan appeared worried after the hearing and declined to speak to reporters.
The court was told that the Traffic Police would be liaising with the Land Transport Authority on prosecuting the car salesman on the illegal modifications done on his Impreza.

Pls don't write chinese as I do not understand chinese words. Well, go ahead and donate your money to this China Trash for all I care. I'm entitled to my own view too. Who are you to stop me from gloating over the death of a PRC or FT in Singapore?? I don't give a bother about you & your pro-FT theories.

Well, you are just one BIG LOSER whose life is so screwed up that it gives you pleasure from gloating over a five years old girl's death. Who knows, this girl might grow up and cure the cancer that you get and save your sorry ass. This is my opinion - you are entitled to yours and I to mine.

This begs the questions of why should a driver be held responsible if the pedestrian themselves do not even want to hold responsibility for their own safety by jay walking?

Why don't we need a licence to cross the road as a pedestrian, but a driver needs a licence to drive a motor vehicle on the road? A motor vehicle can be a killing machine if not controlled competently.

Yes, pedestrians should take care of themselves when on the roads too but ultimately, drivers in control of motor vehicles would be held responsible for traffic accidents. There's no such thing as a driver can knock down a pedestrian just because it's green light on for him.
