“Chirp! Chirp!” the birds were tweeting merrily as the sun rose from the East. Warm sunlight shone on my face as I woke up. Just then, I remembered that today it was my birthday! I rushed downstairs to the living room and found a big pile of presents stacked in a corner! “Mom! Dad! Can I open my presents now?”, I asked. ”Sure!” Mom replied. I tore open the wrapping paper and saw a black bicycle! It was the latest design!

I rode my bicycle to test it at the park connector near my house. It worked perfectly! I decided to ride it on the road. Suddenly, I remembered that my Dad always said, “Do not cycle on the road.” However, I thought to myself, “I’m good enough to cycle on the road!”

Suddenly, I heard a loud crash as a truck went ploughing into a tree. The tree toppled over. I froze in shock like a deer in headlights. I heard a loud honk and saw a bright orange car speeding down the road. The reckless driver swerved from left to right to avoid many obstacles. It was going to hit me!

I opened my mouth to scream but nothing came out! My eyes widened, mouth fell agape and all colour drained from my face. Before I knew it, the car smashed straight into my bicycle. I flew a few metres before landing on the pavement. “Thud!” I realised that I was lying in a pool of blood, and blood was oozing from my knees. I noticed some cuts and bruises on my hands and that there was a bit of white bone appearing from my left knee. I stared at my bone in stunned disbelief for what seemed like an eternity. The ear-shattering blast from the horn of a fast-approaching oil tanker jolted me back to reality. “Bang!” the oil tanker collided into the boot of the car. The car flipped over and landed wheels up when the oil tanker rammed into it. My bicycle broke into two pieces and the wheels became dented. My nose was assaulted by the pungent smell of burning tyres as the oil from the oil tanker was spilt and caught fire.

All at once, I heard the sound of wailing sirens from the ambulance, police and fire trucks. All the rescuers sprang into action. The police cordoned off the area with yellow tape to prevent people from entering the accident scene. Some of them interviewed the eyewitnesses and took down their statements. Paramedics rushed out of the ambulance with a stretcher. They assessed my injuries and secured me onto the stretcher with straps. On the pavement were family members crying uncontrollably for their loved ones. The firemen put out the fire and were using hydraulic cutters to slice through the metal frames of the truck, oil tanker and car to free the victims. Soon, the ambulance sped off to rush the victims and me to the hospital.

I was fortunate that my injuries were not very serious. All my family members were relieved. After 2 weeks, I was discharged from the hospital. I recalled the incident while lying on my bed. I resolved never to cycle on the road without parents' supervision ever again. I also learnt that safety must always come first.

At Eunos near 7.25 a.m., I was on my way to school. I was crossing the bridge to get to school when I heard loud brakes screeching. I then heard a small bang and the only thing I saw left was a grey car with a dent to the left side of the car.

I looked at the other side of the bridge and I saw a red car dangerously speeding away in the middle of a traffic jam. The car came to a stop when it got stuck. The driver of the grey car came out. He then saw the dent and took a picture to show the police.

I then continued to go to school as I would have been late. (This is a fake story.)

I got into a small accident once which is not really interesting😀. It was about 8 o'clock in the night. My brother and I was playing catch the ball in the house while my mother was cooking😊.
So then it was my turn to catch the ball. My brother then threw the ball and then it crashed into the vase😦. The vase was made out of ceramic so it shattered into pieces. My brother and I was in a state of shock. My mother was still cooking even though she heard the noise. My brother and I knew that we were going to be near death so we cleaned the broken vase as soon as possible😕.
When my brother and I were cleaning, I saw blood on my hand and I was so shocked and I went crazy just for a little scratch😥. I took a piece of tissue and put it on my bleeding hand and threw it into the bin an pretended like nothing happened in front of my mother😀. And I'm never going to play ball in the house incase my mother kills me😓.

It was 10th October, my brother's friend's birthday. As I was friends with his younger brother, My brother and I were invited to the party.

Firstly, we played games such as cup stacking and table football. After which we ate food.

After playing video games for a while, we decided to play football. My friend and I were very excited so we raced down to the field.

My friend told me to try to tackle the ball from him. I accidentally kicked his ankle and he started crying loudly. At first, I thought he was being sarcastic but then I realised that he was actually crying. I was very disappointed in myself as I helped him get back home. To this day, thinking about this makes me shiver.

Yesterday afternoon at 4 pm, I saw an accident between a motorcyclist and a van at the junction of Sin Ming Avenue and Marymount Road. It was raining heavily but the visibility was still all right.

The motorcyclist was traveling along Marymount Road and as he was approaching the traffic light junction, he sped up and went through a red light. The van traveling up from Sin Ming Avenue was not able to stop in time and it hit the motorcyclist.

Neither the motorcyclist nor the van driver was seriously injured but the motorcycle was a wreck. The two parties suffered slight bruises and they went to the nearest neighbourhood police centre to make a report. This will be used for their insurance claims.

Since no one wanted to take the blame, I decided to be a witness to the accident. I gave the police an eyewitness account and the case will be investigated.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
SINGAPORE: A polytechnic student was on Wednesday (Jun 1) sentenced to six weeks' jail for causing the death of a 55-year-old e-bicycle rider in a crash at a Jurong West car park.

Muhammad Adham Ishak, 24, was also disqualified from driving for eight years after pleading guilty to one count of driving without due care and attention.

He was only about a week into his job as a delivery driver when the collision happened on Feb 18, 2020.

At about 7pm that day, Adham completed a delivery at Jurong West Avenue 1 and was going to his next delivery location in the area.

He was exiting the car park of Block 537, Jurong West Avenue 1 in a van, driving on the first lane of a two-lane road. He intended to make a right turn onto the main road.

At the same time, the victim was riding a power-assisted bicycle on the second lane of the two-lane road, from Adham's right side to his left.

According to court documents, the victim's wife believed her husband was either on his way home or going to buy dinner for their son.

As Adham drove his van forward and out onto Jurong West Avenue 1, he collided with the victim in the yellow box in front of the car park exit.

The victim fell onto the road and Adham immediately alighted from the van to check on the victim, who was breathing but unresponsive.

He then moved his van away from the main road of Jurong West Avenue 1 after a passerby told him it was obstructing traffic.

A member of the public called the police to report the accident at about 7pm.

Police officers on the scene observed that there was no in-vehicle camera in the van. There was also no Land Transport Authority or closed-circuit television camera near the accident site.

The victim was taken to the hospital and admitted while comatose. A scan showed that he had head injuries and he underwent emergency surgical procedures.

His condition did not improve and he died on Feb 20, 2020. An autopsy confirmed that the cause of death was a head injury.

NO MECHANICAL FAULTS

A mechanical inspection of the van in June 2020 showed that its engine, transmission, steering and braking systems as well as tyres were all in serviceable condition.

The e-bicycle's tyres, steering and rear braking systems were found to be in serviceable condition during a mechanical inspection in August 2020. Its front braking system was found not to be in a serviceable condition, said court documents.

The conclusion from the mechanical inspection reports was that there were no mechanical faults to the van and the e-bicycle that could have led to the accident, court documents added.

PROSECUTION AND DEFENCE'S ARGUMENTS

Deputy Public Prosecutor Benjamin Samynathan asked for one to three months' jail and the mandatory minimum driving ban of eight years to be imposed.

He argued that Adham was careless and failed to keep a proper lookout while moving into the yellow box.

"He should have done so, as he would then have seen the victim cycling from the accused’s right to his left," said the prosecutor.

Mr Samynathan also highlighted that Adham was driving a larger vehicle, and that he should have exercised greater care near residential areas like the car park.

Defence lawyer Ramesh Tiwary argued that his client suffered a "momentary lapse of judgment" and had immediately stopped to help the victim after the collision.

Other mitigating factors were Adham's relatively young age of 22 at the time of the accident, and his cooperation with authorities.

The penalty for causing death to another person by driving without due care and attention is jail for up to three years, a fine of up to S$10,000 or both, for a first-time offender.

"We are looking into the case and will not hesitate to make a police report if warranted," Mr Chan said.

"As adults, we should set a positive example for our children in how we treat others with respect and abide by the rules that are in place for the collective security of our school community."

The incident sparked criticism from the Union of Security Employees (USE) and the Security Association of Singapore.

In a Facebook post, USE said it is aware of an incident "involving a motorist threatening to run over a school security officer", adding that it condemns the "act of aggression" against its officer.

The union initially said that the vehicle did not have a valid car label to enter the school.

It updated its post later, saying: "The motorist had a valid label to enter the school but had cut the queue of cars waiting to enter and moved his vehicle dangerously even when the officer was standing in front of the vehicle."

The security officer has been identified as Mr Neo Ah Whatt. He suffered slight injuries and is recovering at home, said USE.

"The union is very disturbed by this case of physical abuse. It is particularly egregious given that a car was involved," it added.

"The anger from the community and on social media is fully justified because of how the driver had endangered (Mr Neo's) life.

"We urge everyone to respect our security officers for the important job they do. Do not abuse our officers. We have filed a police report and will offer our full assistance to the police."

Union representatives have visited Mr Neo at home with "some relief vouchers and nourishment", added USE.

At about 12.30 pm, we were at the basketball court near gate 19 having PE. Nadra and I started to play. We were passing the ball to each other. When we were passing the ball for five round, the ball rolled away, so I ran after it. I was almost about to catch the ball when I suddenly fell down and twisted my knee and started to cry. My PE teacher said I had to go to the sickbay at the general office to rest.

I was trying to put the frying pan on the stove. I accidentally put my finger too near the fire😖. My last three fingers were burnt. It was very very painful. I cried out loud. My parents told me not to be so careless☹️.

Then, my mother brought me to a clinic 🏥to check if my fingers ☝️were badly burnt. My mom said that she was so embarrassed of me.  I felt very sad and promised that I would never do it again.

SINGAPORE - A man who was speeding when his car struck a taxi in 2018, resulting in the death of a National University of Singapore (NUS) student, has been fined $5,000.

Ng Li Ning, 24, was also disqualified from driving all classes of vehicles for two years.

He was ordered to pay the fine on Nov 27 after he pleaded guilty in a district court to driving at a speed that was dangerous to the public - between 83kmh and 92kmh - when the limit was 70kmh.

For driving at a speed dangerous to the public, a first-time offender can be jailed for up to a year and fined up to $5,000. A repeat offender can be jailed for up to two years and fined up to $10,000.

On April 19, 2018, taxi driver Yap Kok Hua, 56, picked up four people, including NUS students Kathy Ong Kai Ting, 19, and Ting Jun Heng, now 23, at Clementi Mall at around 7.30pm. They were headed to Tembusu College at NUS.

Minutes later, Yap decided to make a discretionary right turn at a signalised Clementi Road junction, despite knowing that Ng's car was hurtling towards him from the opposite direction.

An accident occurred and Ms Ong was taken to hospital where she died of multiple injuries that night.

The three male passengers survived the crash, b ut Mr Ting, who suffered a traumatic brain injury, now walks with a slight limp and has a speech impediment.

Yap, who is no longer working as a cabby, was sentenced to eight weeks' jail and banned from driving for five years on Aug 2 last year.

He had pleaded guilty to negligent driving and causing Ms Ong's death, as well as negligent driving and causing grievous hurt to the other passengers.

The legal woes of Ng and Yap, however, are not over yet.

Mr Ting has sued them for negligence. On Oct 2 this year, the High Court ruled that Yap has to bear 65 per cent of the responsibility, and Ng, the other 35 per cent.

Justice Aedit Abdullah said then: "Priority lay with those vehicles going straight; it was incumbent upon (Yap) to keep a proper lookout, and exercise prudent judgment in executing the turn. If there was any doubt about whether it was safe, (Yap) should have either waited for oncoming traffic to clear, or for it to be stopped and the right-turn green arrow traffic lights to come on."

Justice Aedit noted that Yap had failed to do so, and just followed another vehicle that had turned but was not hit by oncoming traffic.

The judge also found that Ng had failed to keep a proper lookout, adding: "Having the right of way essentially means that other users should yield or give way. But, having the right of way does not absolve that particular road user of the need to exercise due care."

Justice Aedit rejected arguments by both defendants that there was contributory negligence by Mr Ting as he had failed to wear his seat belt.

The judge said there was no other evidence on this issue, such as from biomechanical or other experts, that the injuries suffered could only have been caused by the plaintiff not wearing the seat belt.

The quantum of damages will be determined at a separate hearing and will be borne by the defendants' insurers.
