National bowler Remy Ong was involved in an alleged hit-and-run accident on Sunday in which he killed a stray dog and left his car number plate behind.
The 33-year-old was driving outside the National Service Resort and Country Club in Changi when he hit the animal. Witnesses said they saw the car going off without stopping. Institute of Technical Education student Danny Ng, 18, was cycling in the area with a friend when he saw the dog lying injured in the middle of the road.
'Someone who saw the accident heard the car hitting something, like a banging sound, but it wasn't very loud. The car didn't stop and just drove off,' he said. The impact from the black Porsche Boxster injured the female dog and also dislodged the car's number plate.
Read the full story in Monday's edition of The Straits Times.

A picture of the dead dog, a car license plate and a note regarding the incident went viral and created a furore among netizens on Facebook.
Ong told local media that he was involved in the incident but claimed he did not know he had hit the dog at the time.
He told Channel NewsAsia that he spotted the dog coming from behind a tree when he was driving out of the National Service Resort and Country Club at Changi Coast Walk.
However, he said he only heard a slight sound and had thought it was a result of the dog's tail brushing against the car.
The national bowler said he only realised what had happened when he returned to the scene later where he waited with a crowd till a rescuer from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) arrived.
He told the TV station that he was sorry. Meanwhile, netizens are still up in arms over the incident.
Netizen 'TheLullaby' wrote, "A life is precious and no one has the right to say that an animal's life is not as important as a human's life."
While many were critical of Ong, some asked for the matter to be resolved soon.
'LesPhantom' wrote, "Though it's a dog, it's still a life. Best way is admit his mistake, make a donation to SPCA or some animal welfare group and move on."
Police say they are looking into the matter.
Those found guilty of being involved in hit-and-run incidents can be jailed up to a year or face a fine of up to $3,000. This applies even if the victim is an animal.
