The tragic traffic accident at Bugis last Saturday has galvanized Singaporeans to donate generously to the family of the late cabby Cheng Teck Hock who passed away of his injuries after his taxi was being rammed by a speeding Ferrari driven by PRC national Ma Chi.
Besides Singaporeans, foreigners and PRs have also offered assistance and support, including a CEO from China, forty year sold Mr Sima of Pan Asia Energy Group.
In an interview with the media, a private secretary of Mr Sima revealed that he arrived in Singapore from Beijing three years ago and is currently a Singapore PR.
“He is very concerned about the accident and when he knew the cabby’s family is in financial distress, he felt he should do his part,” the secretary said.
Together with another PR, Mr Sima offered to sponsor the living and education expenses of the children of Mr Cheng.
Mr Cheng’s eldest daughter Stephanie Cheng has just graduated from a local polytechnic and may be putting her plans to enrol in a university on hold because of the family tragedy.
