Penalty too light. Should also get life banned from driving.
Ban > 1 year means license need to be retaken. So it’s = lifetime ban.
Thx@@Scambuster491
@@Scambuster491 lol i get the joke lmao

Drug trafficking is death penalty but dangerous driving causing death max 8 years what a joke....
Drugs kill families and has a cascading effect. Watch your words
lol it has always been a joke... it's like telling people it's a better deal to commit murder than drugs...
Rotan please!!!
@@aesricDangerous driving has no cascading effect? What a joker
are you this killer driver's friend or relative @@aesric
Woah cheap penalties no wonder our drivers here getting bolder of getting away
we are sitting ducks on the road
Yes, and there's going to be more such tragedies in the law is not going to use Iron Force!
Even 4 charges got jail term these will run concurrently so make no different in this case. There are 2 lives involved here….
we can only vote them out
Of course concurrently then u want what? One by one? Chammm, then 4 charges of 2 year each become total 8 year😂
cannot jail lah. this guy bought COE
He's definitely a burden to the country.
yep
The state law need to up level to “fine” these people with compensation to:
1) the victims and their love ones,
2) public expenses on the clean up of that road accident
(those poor one, make sure they work in jail/factory, all their earnings goes into making compensation, similar to idea of people with bankruptcy).
Failing to pay the fine shall warrant them additional jail term on top of court's judgement.
Obviously not remorseful, walk also walk fast, I bet this guy will illegally drive even if license is suspended. He was obviously trying to run away from the white Mercedes he sideswipped and beat the red light at top speed. Its no different from any other serious crime, law needs to be updated. The monetary penality for TP offences was increased quite recently, but did the length of th4 sentences increase then?
Law update to take away freedom of citizens?
...... He will probably tell you that his Accelerator GOT STUCK !!!!! ????? MECHANICAL FAULT !!!!
Today, someone is jailed 20 days for keeping 43 cats in a flat with no food. I think this legal system a bit strange.
Should be jail 20days without food and water to be fair🙄
Singapore justice system....??? No need to say .... See only, people can know ...
@@kimnah4713 wow!! I totally agree with you on that!!!
why? because you like cats ah? if 43 mice how? 43 flies? you choose which animals matter is it?
@@shucklesorsif kept as pets of course it’s wrong, even if it’s mice. Why do you need to put flies in here? How dirty do you have to be to have 43 flies in your home for them to not starve?
Such injustice for the 2 dead. The law is not strict enough. Speeding is on a rise.
its not the speeding that killed.. it was the deliberate act of going through a red light with cars moving on the other end!
So you are saying speeding played no part 🤫 @@fidelcatsro6948
The survivors well being are still unknown..they may face physical challenges and definitely emotional and psychological effects. The families of all involved in the accident are also affected in ways we don't know. How is the penalty justifiable for the immense hurt caused by one selfish and seemingly unremorseful idiot
@fbm1970 i actually feel worse for the family who have to live through this, nore than the ones lost. Of course, both are horrible, but those families must be in so much pain right now.
DAE feel that Singapore road traffic laws are rather weak? People get less than a year jail at times for killing someone when driving.
Because they are
After 2 to 8 years, who can stop him from driving dangerously again? A simple ban. LOL
The way he responded in court just shows his defiance and impenitence. Still audaciously caring for himself, and not a tear shed for the 2 deceased and 6 injured he so recklessly caused!
No conscience tt he caused so much pain and the grief-torn families. My heart and condolences go to these families mourning in grief and pain. This guy can still walk so lightheartedly like leisure walk in the park. No life ban in driving . Aftr his jail term can still inflict pain and grief to human beings. Penalty is too lenient for heartless people like him.
Driving licence "suspended" is ridiculous! It already shows the law is monkey! It should be "perpetually revoked"!
He committed "manslaughter" with a car "weapon"!
Hukuman terlalu ringan.sepatutnya hukuman lebih berat dijatuhkan.ini melibatkan nyawa Bunda dan Anak orang.
Ne la singapura skrg... Keadilan yg diteranjui oleh seorang andoh yg tgh tidur. Sibuk dgn parkara2 luar negara.... Makan da terlalu byk.... Taik naik atas saluran otak .. Tu sebab bonggok....
So if one stabs and murders someone, he/she gets a death sentence..
But if one runs over 2 people killing them, they get up to 8 years.
This totally don't make sense
Don't get confused with 1st degree murder and accident. Accident is unintentionally done and is just driver's carelessness.
@@jollyjolly5633Accident for intentional speeding? Imfao
@@jollyjolly5633not carelessness more like can't let go of his ego
@@Unknownplsyer not trying to defend this scum but intentionally speeding does not equate to intentionally killing someone, it's more of accepting the risk of getting into an accident which is also horrible and severely irresponsible. guy should not be allowed to drive and similar activities that will put people at risk
Should bring back judges like justice yong pung how. Once a sentenced man tried to argue his sentence according to the law. Justice yong gave him added yrs to his sentence. !!! Thats being tough. We need tough laws again like thd old days. Other countries used to praise us fr our gd record. Now its laughable ! Whole country going to the dogs!
There are times when I think medieval laws should come back.
This is one example.
Ha ha. True!
He's not.....
Not apologetic
(to the victims family)
Judge asked if he wished to say anything , and he said he would be engaging lawyer. Instead of apologize to victims family.
Not remorseful
(He said, not necessary to put an e-tag on him.....)
He's really a Sucks !......sigh!
How to deal with Sucker
Surprisingly both dead were from his own kampong i.e malay also. And his reaction is like...he is really a devil in disguise.
Drug trafficking yet to cause death = death penalty. Driving causing death = max 8 years....joke
Yet?????? Morons like you seem to encourage drug use
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
Should not be released, period!
man this should be a death penalty u alr heard he didn’t stop and bro let 2 innocent ppl die what was bro rushing for, justice gotta be served honestly we can’t jus let that man go so easily after killing 2 ppl
Nowadays killing 2 people with vehicles can get away with stuff, charges given is lighter than smoking a joint. Just Wow. remember to own a car!
even smokers get heavier penalties
Delivery riders ride on pavement and bridge get more fine than him la
@@GungniLin Very fair laws this cuntry has.
Cheap cheap penalties. The penalties is designed to benefit the rich folks driving recklessly
Sad..
61% PAP-pists voted for this
they still provide delicious prata in jails..
100% to protect rich ppl only
lol, Does this guy look very rich to you? But I agree that the legal system that inherit from British is flawed in many ways.
If theres a "fine", where does it goes to?
Your GST rebates, vouchers, medical fee subsidies, education subsidies...
He now becoming the nation most hated man
Thats why hes hiding his face with the mask! Shd show us who that man is!
This morning another accident at junction near Tiong Bahru market, black car bonnet smashed with car left in the middle of the X junction. I won't be surprised if driver beat red light again and hit car which had right of way. This will go on and on forever. There's a large group of irresponsible drivers that have consistently gotten away with things to the point that they are embolden to drive recklessly all the time. More surveillance is necessary.
Death sentence period
Hello Reporter. After he walk out of court got a lot reporters take photo. Why no one ask him questions ? Were u there ?
the penalty is equivalent to if you have a car - lives lost or mained = simply pay few fines (that doubtfully went to victim family) & behind bars and then walked free again.
Charges for causing death by dangerous driving?
Fine a few thousands of dollar, to to jail for a few months and ban driving for a couple for years, that's it.
He is like taking a walk in the park
Your role in the reckless car accident is utterly abhorrent and unforgivable. The families of the victims are enduring unimaginable pain, and your blatant disregard for their suffering is disgraceful and contemptible.
Should be in jail.
He deserves no leniency.
Some ones goes strait on to red light is a nightmare ❤
Feel bad for the victims.. they did not deserve this at all.. may their families gather strength and courage to overcome this immense loss..
Every country's law is like that. This kind is considered rash act causing death, doesn't matter you use a knife or car, the penalty is set like this. In fact, causing death by car holds a tougher penalty than causing death by knife. The average person also won't know what the penalty for causing death is and I doubt this malay guy knows exactly what he is facing when arrested.
No remorse. Wondered where he work.
He stayed at Bedok
Still got mood to press phone 👎
Still got hand
"Haha, no la...I'm fine. Nothing la, it'll be ok. I'm ok, just ate. All will be ok. Text you later we catch up over coffee."
He play genshin impact
A 17 year old girl is dead....her life, her future, her all robbed from her just because a careless, inconsiderate & reckless driver was tearing down the road at top notch speed...justice, justice, justice....the blood & the life of a 17 year old girl cries out to the heavens for justice...😢😢😢
He must be gloating! Fake injury, no remorse, easy sentence. Are the 2 lives lost this cheap?
Hakim saya mohon awak berikan dia hukuman maksimum.
1 living soul 4 years? Should be 40 yrs in jail
Why do they keep saying Allegedly?? Its on camera!
What a driver.
IT IS MURDER!!!
Ain’t Not way drugs can put you 6 feet under, when you cause 2 people to die due to your actions, AND you get only those charges
Change the law.
CHANGE THE LAW VTO VOTE WISELY😅
This guy is quite well known within the street racing commnuity. I raced with him once in Punggol.
Street racing community?!
Race with him in Punggol?!
Is the LTA aware of this community which might turn out to be a potential breeding ground for future “racers” on the road?
he is one of the best racer in singapore... our dominic torreto...
Street racing 😂
dont create stories which is untrue ..there is no such community
@@helmihas5127too many story teller.
What kind of fxxxing law is that? 2 lifes was lost and just 2 to 8 yrs jail? Wow just wow jail time for vandalism is much longer to think 2 lifes is so cheap in the eyes of those law enforcement
So 2 innocent people's life lost are only worth $10,000 and max 2 years jail-time for the offender. U do the maths and tell me if it is fair justice for the dead. It's long overdue that the law has to change for such blatant severely mindless act. If our justice system still remain status quo for this incident, then it will wakeup more s'poreans to the fact that life is cheap and the justice system is not as fair as they thought.
How is it possible for him to be released so easily after indirectly causing a major accident, resulting in significant delays and troubles for the public? It’s even more egregious considering the injuries and fatalities involved.
This is horrific!! killer driver is alive, and innocent people have been killed by this killer driver.
Total 6 Not 8, 2 dead and 4 injured.
Unjust
The people who have died in vain.. they are voiceless now. Is there truly equal justice under law? This man has essentially committed manslaughter twice over, yet his charges will amount to punitive action no more than an armed robbery. Should it not be a legislative priority to revise such laws to deter the most egregious examples, such as the one we have here?
Even though no death penalty, I was expecting like a 20 year kind of jail term. What is this shit??? 😡😡😡😡😡😡 He can throw in a few doc letters saying he is mentally ill and then sentence to a staycation of 2 years lol. 😡😡😡😡😡😡 WTF!! You think we Malay life is cheap?????
The charges sound like a joke. Something is not right in Sg!
Should have heavier punishment for causing danger on the roads. Road rage and dangerous driving these days are getting out of hand and more often.
Dont let those penalties run concurrently!
We will see this sort of "accidents" again and again. DUI, reckless endangerment, speeding, racing, just plain entitlement and selfish mentality resulting in deaths and permanent disabilities. Let's call it what it is: vehicular homicide. And as with homicides and manslaughter penalties should reflect the seriousness of it all. 20+ years jail term, rotan, permanent loss of licence to all classes of vehicles. Time for the government to step up and make singapore roads safe for all road users.
why can be released⁉
Singapore traffic laws is nut
max 8 yrs.... Not enough for an innocent life taken away
It is really sad and tragic that 6 vehicles were involved and 2 people passed away and the rest were injured. Sending prayers to the departed and injured.
It is helpful that drivers drive carefully, and it is better to be late than sorry especially if it could risk the safety of oneself and other road users including pedestrians.
May i ask did the news or driver mentioned why he sped so fast? was he under the influence of any substances or was he physical unwell , or was his brakes or accelerator faulty?
Thank you. 😑🙏
nothing wrong with the right hand in that arm sling either.... faking an injury, what an actor.
Faking an injury 😂 then the doctor must be a fake doctor.
Life is cheap in Singapore
2 innocent life gone only 2 years jail ?? That’s ridiculous. 😡😡😡
The person in charge of law system is sleeping. When victim is their family members, see how they react. That case recently, repeated offender jail 3 months. After deduction sit abt 2 months for repeated offender. And see now adays what our police doing. No people die they dont bother. Anything just give a blue card and ask you make report online. Disgusting🤮
It is totally unacceptable that government is still too lenient on reckless or drunk drivers even when they kill and destroy lives. Why not impose tougher laws against them like 25 years of imprisonment, revoking drivers licenses, heavy monetary fines, etc? Law minister must look into serious traffic violations more seriously. 8 years in prison for destroying families is not justifiable.
Hello LTA, why he beat the Red light to cause 2 dies 6 injury was not charge???
Such obvious case….speeding, beating traffic light, killed others….Life for Life
So taking drugs is more serious than killing 2 people? Icic okay noted
his hand still can hold the phone?
Did he fail to stop after the accident? He trying run away? Cant see from the video
I think the accident refer to the side swiping of the white mercs.
Laws in Singapore toowoomba lenient ,drivers on the road today are very cocky and rude .I think licenses should be raised to 21 not 18th. Young drivers today are very reckless. .
42 years old already still....sigh...
2 death and the sentence is so………
Speechless
So did the m4 who hit and run back in Jan 2024 kena any punishment ?
thats y so many accident all not scare
we gonna see more reckless drivers like him.. -.-
wait, failing to stop after an accident? did i miss something here
wat a joke. 2-8 years .
8 years is too light. 2 people died because of him. This is no difference to murder.
We have to be fair to all the victims and to him on this particular accident?. All those who happened to captured this accident on their dash cams should voluntarily give a copy to the police. A thorough investigation is very essential and crucial so tha appropriate judgements be administrated for this accident. Because of the big awareness by the public on this accident, many would like to know the truth and that the law will enforce the due sentences, so as to send a clear message to those, to think twice, before committing similar act of traffic serious offences.
Time to spend a few years in Changi.
Ridiculous verdict vs charges vs innocent lives lost vs public funds/resources mobilised to address the accident and assist the injuried parties. The rippling effects also spread to many families members of all victims and a company also involved here. The law, justice and punishment administeted to such rash and reckless driving, endangeting lives of public at large, must be re-looked into. Where is the deterrent effect? This reckleas man simply walked away with a small smack on the wrist! He will become repeat law offender! Only those celebrities who gotten jail term, and free media publicity remembered the nitemares their actions brought pain to others. In this case, our law systems lacks intergrity and justice!
bro whats wrong w the law system
The charge is Too light. A bad signal to would be violators. Do we want more of these kind of drivers on our roads?.
.
Penalty pathetic jail too short completely no more driving fine too little .
8 years + driver license = 1 person's life
2 deaths and he could get away so easily with a jail term of less than a decade for his rash act? That's a miscarriage of justice. The families of his victims will have to live with their loss for much longer than that. 😢
Until now, not much news on why did he even speed like that? He dreaming, high on drugs, medical issues? Nothing? Even charges had been read, honestly how you expect the family to have closure???
Was he also using his phone when he ctashed and killed like he's using his phone as he walked?
What are the rules with civil litigation in Singapore? Can the families of the victims go after him as well for lost income, personal injury, etc?
I bet can but they have to get themselves a good lawyer or a sympathetic one to fight fr them! Money talks as usual🙄
In game of course
As per video evidence, he definitely had serious thoughts to kill by accelerating his car like a " bullet" into the defenceless cars. If its not with intention to kill what else.
Bail???? Leave him in there
Beating the traffic light?
If you ask the question “ did he know his actions would cause death” if the answer is yes, then it’s culpable homicide.
Just employ a lawyer and claim innocence ✌🏻
Hes so obnoxious. At his hearing he was to wear the ankle monitoring. He can say ‘theres no need fr the ankle monitoring device. He said all his documents and passport had been seized and he is not a flight risk’. So obnoxious. If i was the judge at his sentencing i would give him life! No remorse, no apologies but just so self absorbed. Selfish
