Driver in fatal Tampines crash arrested for dangerous driving, licence suspended 

*The reckless driver must be charged with highest maximum sentence*

Court should charge him under culpable homicide and not reckless driving!

Should be jail sentence for the rest of his life .

Wait 2years then we will see the court sentence him 2 years prison because he go court then cry and say he got depression because his mother fall down, and his uncle pregnant and he very stressed

it's time to change the laws. anyone who causes death by dangerous or drunk driving, should be charged with pre-meditated murder.

Its his freedom that needs to be suspended not his license

WHO is the driver? I think the people who died need more privacy, not the Driver!

dangerous driving ? not manslaughter?

We demand justice.

Arrested does not mean anything. Have to order him kneel down infront of the tombs of the deceased and apologise to the family. Singapore social studies failed

reveal the driver's identity. What is the point of hiding his identity?

2 dead And only license suspended ? The speed he driving seems he beat red light purposely

the perpetrator ALWAYS survive and the innocent ones perish, I don't understand the science behind this

Caused deaths, damage to numerous vehicles, emotion trauma, lost of abilities to work, serious major traffic holdup, etc. I don't think suspend driving license will do. Shall wait for proper sentencing.

would want to see what type of justice to be served. 2 life lost because of a reckless driver act.

Keep saying 42 years old 42 years old. How many times you need to repeat for the same accident. Please publish his face photo and full name.

What the about the Merc driver who indirectly contributed by purposely accelerating due to ego and helping to increase the speed of the Saab.. he also tailgated dangerously behind a bike.. he should be charged and get off the road too before someone gets killed...

Im a taxi driver. Some Passenger call me drive faster.n I tell them..one fast moment change the live

My condolences to the families who had lost their loved ones in this fatal accident

Sentence him life sentence or death sentence

That is all? People’s life is lost and. Just suspension of licence? He murdered two people due to his recklessness. Unbelievable.

he better be charged with murders, having so many people being involved in the accident.

This is murder. Manslaughter is when you unintentionally, but this person obviously knew what he was doing and purposely sped up and hit those cars.

Why was his name not published ?

Driver identity is top secret !!!😂 42 years old man is the only detail authority n media company can provide !!!😂

The driver should be charged for culpable homicide

He must be charged with 2 counts of culpable homicide and receive maximum penalty of 20 years for each count as he was totally reckless and had no regard for other human beings

*Wondering if this case can be classified as Accidental Killing and whats the punishment?*

Why driver name not mentioned

That 42 year old SAAB driver is facing 8 civil law suits against 6 injured + 2 deceased. If the High court give this 42 year old driver a very light sentence, then we probably know who to vote for in the next GE❤

surprisingly the Spain murder suspect is named, but this saab driver with all the clear videos of his driving prowess still protected by the press. not even one picture at the hospital. wow!

Those that are irresponsible and reckless ought to be caught and punished, just like the administrator of "wake up, singapore" who lied about the KKH miscarriage. His name is ariffin sha.

Justice must be properly served ….regardless of race, language or religion. No double or triple standard please!👌🏼

Not only reckless and dangerous but also INTENTIONAL!!!

Release the name and photo

Evil male driver .Justice need to be served with max sentence and vehicle confiscated too

A no brainer. Life sentenced, 12 canings. Dont bother even about this idiot license..!!!

I am also interested in actual news, like graphics of what happened, estimated speed of driver, which cars travelling on which directions were involved, the science of it, how damaged were the cars, the make of the cars, the injuries per car, based on skid marks analysis etc... not the face of the victim who is marketable for compassion only, your reporting is making the PUBLIC Outpouring of grief the main goal

Just curious, why is the public so eager to know the name of the perpetrator? Shouldnt they just be concerned that he must be punished accordingly to the law if he is found guilty. As such, there is no need to disclose his name as it is not a necessary information that the public need to know. the only information that people need to know is that justice is served and the perpetrator answers for his crime. - Seem to me, some people in the public require the name is because of their hidden agenda such as to either criticise the govt of their policies (if he is a foreigner) or harass and shame the perpetrator and his family (some people are such petty and have all the time of the world to do such things).

reveal his name and identity thank you

What a tragic loss of lives! Esp for the young girl who has so many good years ahead of her!!! This is so heart breaking...

Here is my analysis: i think he was looking at the rear view mirror to check on the merc. He did not see the red light. That was the problem. He was not trying to beat it - the lorry was already stationary at the traffic junction, which meant the light had been red for a while. He was speeding away from the merc to avoid detection, likely because he already has a record of prior traffic rule violations.

Can this be consider as second degree murder?

Max punishment for Reckless driving is 8 years? Ridiculous law. Need to be change or maybe govt too.

I hope the law can be even more stricter in this respect. R.i.p. to these innocent victims

Crash until like that how come the culprit didnt die but the victim dies? Not fair!😮😢

The MERCEDES DRIVER should be investigated too

Will be OUT Of Changi Resort even b4 U know it

The Singapore government need to be firm in sentencing such reckless drivers if not more people will be killed on the roads. If this happen to your own family members, how would you feel?

Ban him from taking public transport too . Walk or cycle to everywhere after he released from prison. Ban his name from registering with driving centers

But why drive into a busy intersection at speed? Why did he do that ?

we need the identity of the driver to be released! why keep reporting on the victims and the merc while no news on the driver in question

Suspension means will get reinstated given time? Probably a small fine and some jail term.

42 year old driver violates the traffic rules for reckless driving death by negligent act!

Nowsaday very scary to drive in sg a lot reckless driver and selfish drivers.

Online videos shows Everything, He was Speeding with No intention to STOP....

Driver should be charged with homicide or frustrated murder he knew he is heading to junction he kept speeding.

i remember during my school days, we were taught to cross the road when green man light up. nowadays, it's not that simple

I don't like driving. Never want to own a car because I scared of an accident, is my little phobia, I just don't trust myself😅

Why not charges driver for Culpable homicide ? The jail term will be longer for those would be offenders, that also serves as effective deterrence.

How come his licence is only suspended It must be revoked as deaths were involved.

any chance that cause by “sudden acceleration” instead of reckless driving?

Where is this Tampines ?? So very sad RIP 🙏 😢

If Singaporean, our media will say it out loud. If PR, will say "local", if foreigner will hush hush.

"Driving licensed has been suspended" oh wow geez thanks CNA. Who would have thought about that. Say something so obvious for what!?

Let's see how the judge do the judgement, fair or biased

More info about the culprit should be revealed like his employment, if any and company where he works. This would give a clearer profile why he behaved like that.

For the prevention of such cases from Happening. The law must change to Penalty by Capital punishment. Once this law is in place, no one would be driving recklessly. Since it would be a Capital Punishment

Traffic police sleeping I heard them

The maximum sentence is eight years only?!?!?!? How many years of life has he robbed of his two victims????

It's a terrorist attack

Reckless drivers have been on increasing in Singapore, can be seen with raging horns upon just slight slower cars in front, these drivers must be punished by harsh law to prevent further escalation causing accidents

Could the recent rapid timing of the change in traffic lights be a factor?

why the media do not want to reveal who is the reckless driver wat kind of bias is diz 😡😡😡😡

That driver killed the daughter of the police coast guard officer and injured him. I have never seen someone so cooked before in my life.

Victims' families can ask for cloud funding to sue this driver for personal damages. It would be Sg vs Driver! This will make sure that all Singaporeans will be safe from this driver in future.

2 innocent lives lost and this demon driver may get away with only a few years in jail and some fines. At the speed it was going, fatal injury would result if crashed. The driver should be charged with murder and should not be allowed bail.

Why is it that Singapore still has not implemented vehicular manslaughter law yet? The idea of punishment and penalties is also to act as a deterrent. Unfortunately such deterrents are already bordering on just merely "a slap on the wrist" in current society/environment. Many drivers and road users nowadays are more willing to take the risk of speeding or breaking the laws, knowing that the most they get is probably just a few months in Changi, or fine and banned from driving.... provided that they get caught. And let's not forget Singapore 2/3 remission terms... In other words, It's losing its effectiveness and no longer serve as an effective deterrent in current society and environment. Our laws and penalties need to be updated accordingly, not just increasing jail term length or increasing fine amount. Start with enacting vehicular manslaughter bill into our current legislation. This is not the first, nor will it be the last we hear of errant speeding drivers and other road users making the news. Not too long ago, we have 2 other accident news, 1 of a driver knocking over a student at a zebra crossing within a school zone. Another of a lorry knocking down 2 students. In addition, our government also wants to control the vehicle population right? Then adopt a multi prong approach.... Its not just about the reducing COE quota or increasing road taxes and ERP. Enact stricter law and implement vehicular manslaughter bill as well. Make driving unappealing, too rigid/strict and not so cost effective so that ppl will think twice about driving. Imagine the amount of land we'll get back from reducing our road network and what they can be used for in future...

Put him in jail for a long time (5⁰year)

That black car needs to be looked at.

Must show the driver’s photo too

send him to jail to max possible years

two deaths.... even 10 years jail term is too kind to him...... but he will probably bet away with a ban, fine and few months jail time at most?

In indonesia, even your license suspended, you can make a new one. Just pay 500k-1 million IDR (as a bribe) to the DMV. It's common secret...

Its so scary to think that anytime something can happen you.

Condolences to the families and friends 😥

This driver should be dealt severely by the law.

Accident occurred even when these other drivers were driven very turtle speed. Thus drive very carefully and super considerately for other road users, their safety is your safety and achievement

Who is the driver? CNA please inform us.

There’s no justice in this country. What a joke!

Terrible Driver‼️

Also justice for those sustaining injuries.. this is so devastating

8 years per death, 16 years in total, no parole

Not enough suspended licence.

Homicidal, reckless driving act... time to change the law., commensurate with drug life penalty. Those injured and immobilised is also a burden to the system. Tough laws bear good sense.

Allegedly?? Dash cam show other wise!!

No name or photo attached to the perpetrator?..racial bias issit?

Omg !!!! Rip to 2 person died

Too little ,too late. Traffic suituation have been getting terrible thru the yrs and behavior of motorist using the roads have gotten much worse, without the authority concerned even bother to address this.

His lawyer will come up with good excuses to get him a lighter sentence... 1) he has a clean driving history 2) he feared for his life as he says someone was out to kill him 3) anything else???
