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.

A road bully drove the same Subaru Impreza
tailed my car from PIE for almost twenty minutes before he blocked me at a small road to my home at mid-nite. I come out of my car, and before he striked me, I kicked and hit his balls - thanks to the tae-kwang-do lessons I learnt from my NS days. Kang Nin Lao Bu Chiao Jee Buy

So sad,

May the girl RIP.

As for the driver, dont worry, he will get what he deserves. Speeding in a housing estate? FOR FUCK!!!

Driving is never about speed, it is about safety. What is the point of fast cars when you cannot get to your destination in one piece? Let alone, taking a life unnecessarily.

I'm sorry. but I feel compelled to put a face to the victim of this tragedy. Unfortunately, the evidence so far has not indicated that she is from a family under the umbrella of elite PAP families, so her death will not serve to galvanize more enforcement and stiffer penalties against those who have scant regard for the lives of others. That kind of reaction to honour the memory of the departed is strictly for them(PAP).
