The SMRT PRC bus captain who knocked into a motorcyclist when swerving right into another lane is currently under police investigation for speeding and not keeping a lookout for oncoming traffic.

The accident happened on Monday evening at around 5.55pm along the Pan Island Expressway towards Tuas before the Jalan Anak Bukit exit.

According to our informant who claimed to be a friend of the motorcyclist, he is currently twenty one years old and is a full-time National Serviceman.

Contrary to the version of events given by SMRT, the bus was speeding at 100 km/hour along the expressway and switched lanes without giving signals causing the motorcyclist to knock into the bus bumper and severing his leg.

He is still in critical condition in the hospital.

The particulars of the bus captain and the motorcyclist were not published in the press as the state media attempts to cover up another accident involving a PRC driver, barely two months after a PRC driver knocked over an elderly woman crossing the road in Sengkang.

".. barely two months after a PRC driver knocked over an elderly woman crossing the road in Sengkang"

That means that this is the 3rd PRC bus driver to have caused another accident... AGAIN!!

(It was encouraging to see our Singaporean youngsters helping the injured motorcyclist. The picture taken showed 2 Chinese and an Indian in their early twenties helping the Malay motorcyclist on the ground).

I clearly remembered a 2nd accident involving a female bus driver who knocked down and KILLED a student motorcyclist just last month!

She was given ONE WEEK'S JAIL!! .... ONE week to reflect on her actions?? FAIR??

Can you believe that!?? She has taken away a young life!

Did anyone think about the family's feelings and loss of their ONLY son ??

Singapore is the most corrupted country in the World.

Why citizens cannot sue the government for negligence?

Why SMRT and LTA must wayang in court? Who is the plaintiff in such a hilarious court case?

Unfair comparison actually.

Most Bus Captains are now PRC. As long as 1 accident occurs, 90% it is a foreign driver.

But the motorcyclist should also be more careful.

In drving we called it defensive driving. A motorcyclist should be very careful and antipate dangers. You so small and puny should never ride in centre of lanes. If slow, should be smart enough to stick to 1 side.

Motorcycles are dangerous to be driven, especially with so many big cars around. 1 mil plus car knock engine also fly out. What would happen to the small puny motorcycle?
