<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->A Genting Highlands road trip ended up with at least two high-speed chases, an accident and a driver who was assaulted.
Some 20 cars, mostly Ferraris, left Singapore on Friday. Three hours into the trip, the first incident occurred. After the Ayer Keroh exit along the North-South Expressway, the driver of a Mercedes-Benz signalled to the cars to pull over.
Lawyer Krishna Ramachandra, 37, was among the drivers.
'We said: 'Why are you stopping us? We're not speeding.' When they saw they were outnumbered, they waved us along.'
Half an hour later, the Mercedes was spotted tailing them again. This time, it cut into the lane of Mr Krishna, who was forced to pull over in his Maserati.
'One of the two men said I was speeding and asked me to follow him to the police station. I asked him to give me a ticket and for his particulars; he started to get aggressive,' said Mr Krishna.
When the duo returned to their car, Mr Krishna and two other drivers, who had also pulled over, took the chance to speed off.
Unknown to them, a Ferrari, driven by lawyer Chia Boon Teck, 45, had stopped half a kilometre ahead when he saw Mr Krishna's car being stopped. He called the Johor police for help. Then, the Mercedes stopped in front of his car. 'I reversed to drive off,' Mr Chia said.
A high-speed chase ensued over 5km, but Mr Chia managed to shake off the pursuers.
Near Sungei Besi, Mr Krishna spotted a man flagging for help. 'He was bleeding from the nose and cheek,' said Mr Krishna.
The man also drove a Ferrari. He was not part of the convoy but was scheduled to meet them in Genting. Chased by the same Mercedes, he crashed into the road divider. The men in the Mercedes used a crowbar to smash the Ferrari's windows, assaulted him, tied his hands and made off with a few watches.
Mr Krishna was told that the man's wife managed to flag down a car to escape.
Mr Krishna took the man to Sungei Besi where they met the victim's wife and the others in the convoy. They headed to Genting.
The Sunday Times understands that the couple were picked up by their chauffeur yesterday and later filed a report at the Seremban police station. Mr Krishna and the others will return to Singapore today. [email protected]
