- The 42-year-old driver involved in Monday's fatal multi-vehicle crash in Tampines has been handed four charges. Three of the charges Muhammad Syafie Ismail is facing relate to dangerous driving. The most serious offence -- causing death -- carries a jail term of up to eight years. In court, the prosecution said there may be additional charges as authorities await medical reports. Bail was set at $30,000 and a pre-trial conference is scheduled for 7 June. Syafie will be electronically tagged. He must report to the investigation officer when required. Nadirah Zaidi reports.
2-8 years jail only? A family lost their daughter and another lost a mother.
Exactly!!!
What is wrong with the law?!!!
Really????? After killing 2 lives ?? OMG.
U need to understand this was a accident and not murder
@@preetmohanty3587 technical term is manslaughter, and many countries have maximum manslaughter sentencing much higher than Singapore's.
only his arm was injured??? felt so sad for the 17 years old JC girl, she had a great life ahead. very angry with the reckless driver
Murderer walking casually with a small injury, getting a light sentence while 17 yr old girl can't walk this earth anymore
If ITE student? Who cares? Maybe been said as skip school to go to work to buy cigarettes? And maybe in procession of vaping devices........ 🤣
@@m03_m nowadays ITE students have great future too! different from my time where most pple looked down on them. They can even go polytechnic now with gd results
Ploughing his car through a busy intersection. What in the world is he thinking? That act itself is NOT dangerous driving. It's MURDER. The car is the accessory. He should be held accountable.
The law is rubbish. When you speed through red light, it is already an intention to kill. The only difference is who would be the unlucky victim.
now S'pore law become weaker and weaker and weaker.......hhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
if you think SG's law is weak then you must see the law in my country 😂😂😂.
@@irvanhardyanto7038what’s your country’s name
I understand your sentiments but you have no idea what the legal definition of "intention to kill" is.
SG law is very strict on minor offence like littering, smoking,drug offence but lenient to major offence.
Arrogant driver like him deserved to be punish.
What about death threat on the post on line case? He behave as He is above the Law!! 😭
What did he say that his arrogant?
Lucky bastard..only 8 yrs. Should be life sentence.
Agree
For an accident?
@@daytonpangestu3942 reckless driving in the early morning where people are out and about going to work and school is definitely NOT an accident, he killed two people.
An accident is if he wasn't recklessly driving but instead he chose to do so and it costed two innocent people their lives.
So don't be stupid please thank you.
Drug = Death sentence.
Reckless driving w/ death = Jail term.
?????????????
Singapore law for u .. joke system 😂😂
Sorry lah
Death sentence is for drug *trafficking* lah go and study more bro. It affects a lot of people negatively for your own benefit. Traffic offense is /usually/ accident/reckless behaviour. Not even the same category.
@@KryaDiere still Singapore law be like: Nah, We'd suspend him
2 years not 20 years..singapore law become pondan already
Singapore has done well to deter drug traffickers and rapists. However in handling reckless drivers, the penalty is no big deal to the rich offenders. They just throw money to engage the best lawyers. No problem with license suspension as they can afford to take cab. Moreover many like to think they won't be that unlucky for just a short moment of thrills. So without speed limiters, caning or life imprisonment, within the next few days history will repeat itself.
wait till you hear about the law system of your neighboring countries. Since he's a bumiputera, his sentence in prison will be lightened
Hes rich? Doesn't look like it
Yes you are right ,i fully agree with your comments
Because it is reckless driving. If he has "intent" to murder, he will be charged with attempted murder and murder, on top of reckless driving. In court, the "motive" is what matters.
@@Lu5ck who in the right mind would admit that he "intented" to murder unless he's not sane? By right he should be further evaluated by psychiatrist for any antisocial personality disorder as per DSM-V criteria
Government, if you dont give more serious legal punishment to this killer driver, you are literally encouraging sick people to drive car to knock down innocent people, because they know the consequence is just a few year of jail
Yup .. the problem is there must be motives
Nevermind
8 years tops for incidents like these unfortunately.
he will only get the death sentence if there was intent to murder someone but 2 to 8 years jail sentence is too short imo
Emotion is emotion.........
Sir, that required the Parliament to add a new law for him to get a life sentence..... Currently, there is no such sentence......
Do you wish the judge to follow laws set by Parliament or take laws into the judge's hand ?
should be ban for life .....for driving ...No more killing ....
He should be sentences to life in prison, pls Mr judge 🙏🙏🙏

nty. tax dollars being wasted on him. i doubt eye-for an eye works here though. but perm disqualified from driving is better than nth.
Yes,2 lives are lost.There are so so many drivers who think they are F1 drivers and are arrogant.
U damn stupid,the law already stated cant be changed by the judge.
Only parliament can do it w mp votes...lol
2 to 8 years only for the death of 2 innocent people? Wow.. our Singapore is really something.
This driver Mohd Syafie Ismail and that of the AMG Merc were reckless. So 2 have died.
Can we imagine if there had been a bunch of school children crossing at that junction
that day and then what? He ploughs through them and takes another 10, 15 lives for
his act.... and then what? 2-8 years? The law cannot afford to be lenient on the recklessness
of these errant and irresponsible drivers - if we sentence lightly, it's not a fair or
reflective consequence for recklessness on our roads that kills. Drivers need to think
before they do anything rash. Or people get hurt / die.
Where is the driver of the AMG Merc who participated in the "race" leading up to the death of
2 innocent lives? He is complicit and should not be let off hook : his ass needs to be hauled
into court for sentencing too. If you want to race, or taunt others into a race, and people die
as a result of your taunt, your ass is on the firing line too, regardless of your car type.
I am a father myself and if someone took the lives of my children in this manner, there is no
leniency or pardon : it's a terribly irresponsible crime and it's normal for any affected families
to be angry and deeply pained by the loss of their loved ones. I think caning is also in order, to
remind offenders of their transgression in this reckless manner - not to repeat. Ban them from
driving for life. If we don't send out the right signals, people continue to take things too
lightly on the roads, for granted.
2-8 years is too lenient for the death of 2 innocent people who died because of Mohd Syafie
Ismail's need to speed up and race through the huge traffic light junction - it is hardly anything
for the sorrow and pain caused to both families who have lost their loved ones forever, suddenly.

Wow you wrote an essay
May the deceased be granted Jannahtul Firdau.
Allah comfort the grieving family n friends
Why such a reckless killer driver is allowed to drive? This is really horrific! Killer driver is alive, and innocent people have been killed by the killer driver.
lol taking so many lives, injuring others and causing irreparable pain, only a few years of jail... joke of a justice system...
He should be banned from driving all classes for life..... this kind of arrogant driver should not be given any previledge to be on the road.....
you mean he can still ride a bicycle on the streets ???
@@vincentowyong yeah...... bicycle, escooter, tricycle, rickshaw, skateboard..... as long as with these items he never knock down anybody also......🤣🤣🤣

涉案超过30亿新元的洗钱案主犯只判了13个月，导致两人死亡的车祸肇事者只判了2年，新加坡还有脸说自己是个法律严格的国家？SHAME ON YOU!
Death sentence is too lenient..
Lifetime jail time
Ur sarcasm it unrealistically, looks damn stupid...lol
I bet its gonna be ban from driving 10 years max and 5 years in prison max. Nothing more.
Intentional driving at high speed is murder, not an accident. Two innocent lives are lost, and the maximum penalty is only 8 years? They deserve justice!
The way he was speeding towards the junction when there were traffic going in the perpendicular direction shows an indescribable recklessness and disregard for life. There is no way he wouldn't know he was bound to crash into someone.
Random killer goes by traffic accident for lighter penalty
Investigate the merz driver too
When they tabulated the traffic law, they forgot there are idiots.
The most hated person in Singapore 2024
What a disgrace he is to his family
Our law on such incidents are to lax! Stiffer jail terms and driver should be ban from driving for life!
Seriously. Those sentences are too lenient. Disqualification from driving is for life in Singapore I figure at least? If not it is too lenient as well.
Agree
Unlike other fatal accidents which is cause by poor judgement or negligence. This case appeared to be cause by deliberate act. Such act deserve maximum punishment when innocent lives r involved.
How u know its deliberate
If you guys have an observation eye.. Look carefully at the start of the video clip.. showing a white Mercedes in front of cam car… after a few distance.. Saab driver drove fast as he abruptly change lane into right lane in front of cam car.. and wanted to cut back to left lane..becoz there was a motorcycle road hogging on the right.. as soon as he goes back to left lane, the white Mercedes also step the accelerator tgt with Saab driver.. there is where he sideswiped the white Mercedes on the kerb. So after he left the scene of the accident between the white Mercedes and him. That is where he drove off as fast as possible to prevent from being caught by the number plate and that is where he lose focus on the road while focusing too much attention on the rear viewed mirrors checking on the white Mercedes as well as the motorcycle on the right. That was my point of view that I observed from that video..
Edit: Adding to that accident.. Did the victim wear seat belts?? If you clearly wear seat belts, chances of being flung out and underneath of the car is very rare.. becoz the seat belts designed to strap around ur both thighs and only ur body will lean forward or to the side depending on the impact of the accident. Failure to wear seatbelts is an offence and failure to wear seatbelts will have chances of being flung out of the vehicle..
@@joshuatran2932 So was Saab racing with Merc ?
@joshuatran2932 good observation 👍
8 years lor maximum.
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 in SG and the justice system is not as fair as they thought.
I know people thrown into jail for 3 and a half years for having a bread knife in their backpacks, people thrown into jail for a month for not having a license while driving, people thrown into jail and lose their jobs for holding his attacker in a headlock while the attacker gets away scot free, people having to post 60000 dollar bail because his girlfriend accused him of rape over a lover's tiff. People do get thrown into jail over small things that the prisons are overcrowded.
Then we have an actual person committing homicide who might only sit in jail for 8 years (maybe one third remission so he sits for 5 years and 3 months only) and is out on what 30000 bail?!
Our justice system will punish you for minor transgressions but is easy on you if you commit major ones like they are getting more lenient on drug trafficking, money laundering, sodomising and raping men, and of course driving recklessly causing death.
I’m not sure about this but I think the families would have a case to sue or bring him to court separately
@@jovinlai3717Then you are talking about a civil case where members of the public can bring charges to another person.
For criminal cases, it is usually the Police.
No sign of remorse at all😡
Yes you are right he has no feeling at all.
How else would you want him to look? Crawl on the floor? He’s walking normally. We wouldn’t know how he feels on the inside.
How would you know that
@@Nuur89????
@@AdrianCHOYin another clip he's very cocky..
There was intention to kill with speeding and ramming through traffic lights. Come on lah. You don’t have to graduate with a law degree to know this. Haiz…
Time for the government to review the existing laws and more should be done to deter such dangerous behaviour on the roads. All other road users must be protected. Otherwise, our roads will become killing fields.
My sentiments exactly
Bruh…up to 8 years for claiming 2 lives? So can be lesser?

Fine is $300 for NOT Returning Tray n Crockery.
Not RETURNING The Tray So More SERIOUS n DANGEROUS.

@@vincecarlo Where got chance to vote? be real.
Max jail is unacceptable at 2 years. This is murder with an intent already. I think this should be reviewed and not let such actions go lightly.
A 17-year-old female car passenger and a 57-year-old female van passenger were conveyed unconscious to the hospital, where they later succumbed to their injuries.
Sad
Idiot driver, shameless acts, causing 2 innocent lives and would wanna engage a lawyer. Aren't u feeling any guilt in u??
How would you know how he feels? He’s definitely reckless though.
He got no feeling..🤔🤔
@@roslanbusari526cuz he's a killer that's why no felling
This driver his a sick men.He will answer during the day of judgement.
@@raziyanyanze160 then let him answer if he’s judged then.
2 years ? What a serious joke in our country. The 2 deceased cost him ONLY 2 years? It such an insult to the deceased family. Our traffic law is time to changed.how many reckless drivers on the road nowadays!
beating red light is murder..not accident
If Mr LEE K. Y. Is here, I don't think so light punishment and will be a new law come out.
So enlighten us on what new law.
He is already 48 the girl that died didn't even reached half his age
He'll be OUT of Changi Resort in a Blink of an eye
It's who.you know.
He was totally reckless. This is equivalent to manslaughter. And the sentence must reflect the severity of his crime.
The penalty for causing death in traffic accidents is too light already. The law must be amended to reflect the serious of these kind of offences committed. The law must give us back the safety confidence on the road.
Correct it’s high time to revise the current SG traffic laws should set more serious penalties
His case was treated more ugently because it receive more media attention. There was an accident on 01/01 as well and caused a death of 21 year old. But the driver who did not have a licence to drive and use the vehicle to do telegram hitch is still not charge till date.
Penalty is Weak , innocent people died !
Alcohol and Drugs is no to Driving !
wow only 8 years... something very wrong with the laws here
He had the intention to murder by intentionally speeding through a red light!
if 2 person died, does it means 2 count of 'causing death'?
his sentence shld be x2
No it's only one count
Intentionally to driving through red light in high speed, is no different than driving a car through a crowd. This is no accident. This is intention to cause harm.
So... Is what this person did worse than kurt tay did?
Another Ah Beng playing Fast and Furious on public roads disregarding other people's lives. 8 years is a joke.
it's not a ah beng. It's a dirty mat.

As a 3rd generation born Singaporean...I am utterly shameful our law and system...there is no regrets and guilt on this jerk's Face....Law is dead I guess like our PAPs government....my heart goes out to the victims...
my heart goes out to the victims of this tragic one accident 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤❤❤R.i.p..
May justice be served...
So Singapore 🇸🇬 does charge people criminally for causing accidents. Right?
The Singaporean-flagged, Chinese-owned ship Dali, hitting the Baltimore bridge, was also an accident.
Aiya Abang, you want to play race tension u should go back Malaysia.

He got a cheek to say he's innocent. 7 injures with 2 deaths

He should be charged for MURDER
8 years????? Wha he committed vehicular manslaughter
Who the hell is he that he can get away with murders!!! Is he some big shot that can't be touched!!
I think SG need to tighten road accident penalty innocent lives are lost due to reckless drivers...today a young gal is laid to rest and this guy show no sense of regret!! Hasbunaa Wa Nikmal Wakeel...🤲🤲
2 innocent life gone, only 2 years?? That’s ridiculous.
How did the accident happen?..any cctv or diagramatic show how the vehicles got into the accident..
Should be 20 years in jail terms. Let this a harsh example so others won't follow
Good that this guy is malay. Before his identity was revealed everyone was saying the driver is chinese and playing up the race tensions.
now they nothing say 😂
Singaporeans won’t play race tensions one lah. It’s from our neighbour.
Dont put race on the issue
Don't you love it when racists self exposed themselves, no matter what race they are.
Aiya when there’s a drug related case we also assume it’s them what.
He should be jailed for life at least. Killing 2 people by his intentional dangerous "driving" cannot be a reason or excuse for such light sentence. Where is the justice to the lost life?
Money laundering billions also 13months+ only.
also need to talk about delivery riders (especially the ones on bicycles that look like motorcycles- this should be illegal). If you cannot signal your intention of whether you are stopping, turning left or right on the road, IT IS DANGEROUS and YOU SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO DRIVE ON THE ROAD.
If you think the penalty is too light for such crimes, please direct your attention to the right people. They literally have the supermajority in parliament and can change things if they want to. So far nothing much has changed. You can read into why they refuse to hear the people yourself.
Singapore law:
Nah, I'd suspend him
Garmen, wake up
The four charges include:
Dangerous Driving Causing Death
Section: 64(2)(a)
Penalty: Imprisonment for a term not less than two years and not more than eight years. Additionally, disqualification from driving all classes of vehicles is mandatory.
Dangerous Driving Causing Hurt
Section: 64(2B)(a)
Penalty: A fine of up to S$10,000, or imprisonment for a term of up to two years, or both. Disqualification from driving all classes of vehicles is also applicable.
Dangerous Driving
Section: 64(2C)(a)
Penalty: A fine of up to S$5,000, or imprisonment for a term of up to 12 months, or both.
Failing to Stop After an Accident
Section: 84(1)
Penalty: A fine of up to S$1,000, or imprisonment for a term of up to three months, or both.
Probably 10years.
So min he will kana 4 years atleast.. unless more charges are add in
What were the results of the severity of those injured
What is fair or unfair is not for us to decide. It is for the law to decide.
When everyday people can see the cracks in the law; why isn't the government doing more to change that?
Because it is a single party so don’t need to be accountable, serious about their job all part time MP and serving the rich 😅
bloody hell👹
so TERRIBLE !!!!
20 years 24 stroke also quite lenient....
Perhaps we should not classify this case as an accident.
Our road offences penalties is a joke compared to let’s say something like illegal hawker getting caught
2-8 years is crazy.
who was his driving instructor and tester ? should be punished too.
Sentence is way too light
whats the white merc driver sentence? he caused this indirectly and still spouting bullshit excuses.
has there been confirmation if he is Singaporean
Actually he is Israeli.
2 years jail it will be a joke by our stupud judges
He is the unforgiven not of this world and not in the hereafter...
He needs to be handled to maximum sentence.
So when the verdict how many years he get citizen are watching
Up to 8 years only? Where's the justice! He should be charged with Murder!
Singapore is a fined city but is the road still safe ? Crossing road junction at 90km/h is consider normal driving? Will Full extent of the law enforcement apply to the max😮???
So, essentially, in your law, it's considered acceptable with only jail terms for a person to cause an accident resulting in someone's death, which can be avoided.
However, it's deemed unacceptable for an individual with a proven low IQ, who was coerced to trafficking drugs into Singapore, to face the death penalty under your justice system?
Such disparity paints a grim picture of an island nation with a flawed mindset.
sentence was waaaay too light. This guy should not be allowed to drive forever mean....the times he could, he killed 2 ppl.....smh.....common singapore.
Should jail him for life 👍
*Hes a very dangerous driver*
The question is what are you doing here
Garment should separate causing hurt and causing death into two different case… hurt= remains the same, causing death = min 10yrs to life or death sentences and fine 100k. Or both…!! 😠🤨🤨😠🤨
