He is a good guy- instinctively wanting to help. Very rare to find people here rushing to help.
❤Love🙏🙏💯🤗❤
Not true. There were people who helped. Not just this guy. In other cases, many helped too like when a man attacked his wife with a knife.
@@s._3560but he is the only one who assisted immediately while others just stare blankly, you see the rarity in that?
@@getreal323 "A few members of the public, including a nurse and two off-duty SCDF officers, helped the injured after the accident, SCDF said, and the force will be commending them for their public spiritedness.'' - ST PUBLISHED APR 22, 2024, 01:50 PM
''He parked his car by the side of the road and went forward, where he saw bystanders trying to help Mr Azril.'' - ST PUBLISHED APR 24, 2024, 07:30 PM
Stop with the negativity. Maybe he was too busy helping the fellow Malay to notice others helping the other victims. The accident area is quite spread out.
Yes
His wife is so blessed to have such a kind hearted man❤
His words about the mornings, being cranky etc. is a timely reminder to me! God bless…
this guy talk sense.
As a Singaporean chinese, I salute and respect you, Abang.
he's certainly very respectable, but what the hell does your race have to do with you respecting him?
it's very, very concerning if you think you mentioning it makes it more flattering or respectable lol
@@shucklesors. 🤭🙄yes agreed
@@shucklesorsits not that deep, chill out
@@astrolight5000 im privileged to say this, but i dont think you have the cognitive load to grasp anything more than incredibly basic, simplistic, surficial concepts
Is it crime to help or not help you own race there in Singapore? Sorry am not singaporean i dont know rules and laws Will u go to jail
Cannot forgive the 42 Yr old drive. Imagine your child gone like that. Don't know how many years it will take the family to overcome the situation
You are a beacon of light in the moment when ppl need help the most. A role model for many
Thank you for your assistance SEIKH IMRAN during the incident... you have a kind heart. GOD bless you manifold times for your kindness to help without reserve during the incident. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I comment on this guy for his bravery and being something of a honorable citizen to help in anyway he could...we need more ppl like him...to him I say well done Sir...god will always be with you and your family and they are proud of you as all of us Singaporeans would feel the same way ...❤❤❤To the departed I am so sorry and you are in heaven and to their loved ones may God be with you as you grief thru this tough period. To the ones still recovering my god be with you as you recover and he keeps you warm and dearly by his side. Amen!
Well said bro....hearts out for the 2 persons who lost their lives....very sad indeed..god bless for helping them...
Singaporeans are awaiting the heavy sentencing of those who caused this tragedy.
It won't be years for this kind of case unless if it's a drug related case. Biased
@@lep1792 He is facing quite a few years in jail.
From news reports, he is likely to be charged with causing death by reckless or dangerous driving. That would be s 64 of the Road Traffic Act, which carries a minimum jail term of 2 years, and can go up to 8 years. He may also face one or two grievous hurt charges, which is also under s 64 and carries a 1 to 5 year jail term.
For context, the driver in the 2019 Lucky Plaza fatal crash got 2.5 years' jail for one count of causing death under s 64. In that case, even though he caused two deaths, the plea deal was that the driver pleaded guilty to one count, with the other taken into consideration for sentencing. The driver in that case got quite a lenient deal because the accident was caused by the driver inadvertently engaging the wrong pedal.
The facts of the present case are much more aggravating, and the prosecution is unlikely to be nearly as lenient.
Unfortunately the traffic law is quite lax on people like him. A fine and a short sentence and he is out racing again. It does not matter if his driving licence is suspended or not. No one really checks on it. I have not seen a traffic police on the road since Covid days.
I have known of people who boasted that they still drive with suspended licences.
@@samdan87， a 17 years old young promising Singaporean life gone , and a 57 years old who about to enjoy her life gone too and only 2 to 8 years jail for his ego impulsive driving behaviour?
LTA/TP, please do consider install more solid bollards at all the 4 concer 2:06 of a T junction to prevent cars driven by drunk / sleepy/ blurry/ drug addict from driving into pedestrian waiting to make their crossing,,, some drivers likes to shows off their skill when making right or left turn at T JUNCTION, IF they lost control while taking the bend,, they will ramp into pedestrian waiting area
Thank you so so so much..
Kudos to this bro for stepping up 👍🏻
I salute the responder. Thanks for helping
Salute me too. I bravely helped by commenting.
According to CNA, culprit is Muhammed Syafie Ismail (42yo) is charged today for 4 counts for his murderous acts including:
1) dangerous driving causing 2 deaths
2) dangerous driving causing hurt to 8 pax
3) dangerous driving
4) failing to stop after causing accident
Beyond words. No words to describe the pain inflicted. So much love from our fellow citizen who care to help and feel for others stramgers in need in danger. Thank you deeply
So proud of your Bro Sheikh Imran🎉❤
Good work brother, you are recommended to receive a Good Citizen reward from our gov, take a good rest 🍺 🐯
To the 42 year old speeding SAAB driver, what's your motive & why???????
Saab driver is. Typical Singaporean arrogant driver ancested from immigrants turn affluent which had lost all morals being.
Maybe stomachache, the brown thing about to come out .. or maybe angry with wife who iron his pants wrongly, or maybe he got heart attack? Must know why before we start accusing. But yeah .. tragic sia
He is a demon 😈
He was late for his friends' open house. He heard they were cooking his favorite dishes.
Do you feel that you're the champion... why don't you join the F1.....
You must be a real toad, who lost your mind....
What happened if these accidents happen to your family or loved ones !!???
Thanks for helping. Many people are shocked or have the bystander effect. So sad that human life if lost due to this accident.
Sincerely hope everyone can be more responsibility when driving.
Indeed extremely sad. 😢
A big salute to you bro,you are really a good example of samaritan.
Very good heart brother thanks
so much for sharing
you have done a Great job .....! hope every citizen lead a hand out to help others when in needed !
There are also one man in white office wear rush to rip open the door of the black car to rescue
Somehow the top comment is berating other bystanders for not helping even though it is clearly written in the news reports that other members of the public were assisting the victims besides him. Just that ST never interviewed or identified them publicly.
The laws must have enough bite because this is one instance of one accident too many.
Revenge ?
AL FATEHAH, for the deceased.. I lost my brother in an accident too.. the perpetrator is still alive living happily after a lousy punishment .. the laws here really really sucks..
I am sorry for your loss. 😢
Thank you brother
Mr Imran, May God shower u with His blessings. We are heartbroken with this tragedy.
Saw a fatal accident ( blue tent)this morning at kje towards bke,my heart sank remembering....
Amazing thing about human beings is no matter how u hate them or their mean or you do not know them,seeing someone pass away is just..idk how to say it,feels so sad
not me. i dont have any feelings for those who rip.
Great man for helping when others stood bye
This guy is something else...
A big hero and a fearless Singapore son we have here ❤
he is fr a good samaritan now adays very hard to find someone like this...
Let’s all be like him to make our society a better place. A homeland we are proud of. A lot of common sense & empathy. Courage too.
Thank you for your service ❤❤
Terbaik brudder.
Speeding fine is very cheap to many reckless drivers. If penalty like life imprisonment and caning is imposed for speeding, this fatal accident and many others would not have happened. So LTA, I've suggested even compulsory installation of speed limiters, like PMDs and heavy vehicles. Surely you agree that lives are more important than anything else? It's good if Singapore road become world's safest, just like we have the most expensive car ownership.
Thank you Sir❤
Respect & thanks bro
Thank you kind sir
Thanks Bro for helping others ❤
This dude is so cool. Bro. Salute you.
Thk u for bravely stepping out n stepping up. Many wld feel pehsay or awkward to be in limelight which is wrong thinking.
Power Abang! Good samaritan! God bless you! 🙏🙏
Thank you...brother...for your kind service....YOU HV A BIG HEART.
Very sad...a young life...gone ..too soon.
May ALLAH....give courage to the families.
Again....Thank you.. to the kind young man in black t-shirt....the 1st responder on the scene.
May her soul...Rest in Peace.
AMEN
We need to step up to release the identity of Saab driver.
You need to go to jail immediately
Humanity at its best no matter how bad it is.
Thank you Mr Sheikh Imran for you acted out of courage and love. You are a good man. A good soul. You provided comfort to an anguished father who lost his daughter. You have also given us a very good reminder to be kind to all and not to get cranky. For me and all, it is a reminder to count our blessings and always offer love and kindness and avoid any acts of aggression and ego. I wish that all families of the 2 ladies who passed on and the whole Singapore will find peace and grow from this tragic incident. Let’s all be better people. ❤
At that point the girl was still alive. She passed away in hospital.
Mr SHEIK IMRAN.......MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YR FLY.
THE 1ST RESPONDER.....IN THE TAMPINES...ACCIDENT ....
VERY SAD... .INDEED...ESPECIALLY TO THE FAMILIES INVOLVED.
As Singaporeans...as a human being....we have to help everyone.
GOD BLESS....ALL.
Brother, your actions speak for itself. I wish when called upon I’ll have the generosity and kindness like you.
Heros don’t wear cape.
The way LTA and traffic police handles reckless entitled cyclists tells you pretty much that they are weak
And might I add , foreign drivers from India driving 10 foot and 14 foot lorries on the center and even extreme right lanes too .
An accident caused by a car and you have to bring up your pet peeve about cyclists. Totally irrational and hints at anger management issues, which means if you are a driver, you are potentially a hazard as well.
i stay at my current address for the last 16 years , never experienced vehicles speeding red lights for the first 14 years yet the last 2 years i encountered 3 times speeding thru red light while crossing the same traffic light. F the whoever is in charge of the enforcement , our road safety are going backwards.
Cyclist caused this tragedy? When was the last time cyclist killed fellow road users? Clown award goes to you.
@@larrytan3822 i witnessed many times they drive dangerously. I have stop driving due to many reckless drivers. It is so scary to drive on the road now as there are lesser traffic police doing their rounds unlike before.
Thank you Sir!
Oh what a lovely gentleman ❤
thanks brother you're a kind soul
A real hero. Full respect.
Baik lah abang 👍🏻
So sad. Please everyone, drive safely. Please don't speed.
Yes yes drive carefully please
Thank you bro
What a great guy.. everything he said makes sense and is full of wisdom especially the not scolding your children when they go to school.
Thank you Mr imran
I'm a father of a daughter as well, when you said the driver was calling out for his daughter, i cried..
Me to I’m just unable to sleep . So sad 😞
We need more people like you bro 🙏🏻
law must be
tougher
Tq bro....❤
U do your best to help out thats a big thank u ❤❤❤❤
In Malaysia, the driver will beat by many drivers.
Unlike Malaysia, Singaporean are educated human beings.
May Allah bless you dear brother and your family. May Allah raise to the highest station those two who were killed in this terrible collision and make it easy for all those who are grieving.
Singapore laws must protect Good Samaritans like him!!!
It's hard not to cry....
Yes, everything happened for a reason. Thank you so much for the tremendous help Mr. SHEIKH IMRAN.
IN SHAA ALLAH, there will be a good closure on these issues...AAMIIN
What good reason for the genocide in palestine?
@@Red-kw4uu Allah knows best... I know nothing....!
Why protect the murderer while 2 lives have gone...!??? 😡😡😡
So sad .........
Thank you, Mr Sheik
Good to know not every Singaporean is bystander standing aside
More mobile patrols will deter all roads users from blatantly breaking laws. As of now, they know the chances of getting caught is minimal, just need to slow down at traffic cameras.. and cameras can't catch dangerous driving, tail gating, road rages and so on.
If you are those that spend most of the time on the road,you will observe the time when you see more than 1 TP bike park there was when accident happen,daily there is ppl upload video,don't tell me they don't know
Certainly, I think the police need to increase presense and visibilitys on the road.
Even the normal police patrol cars will help a lot to regulate people behavior on the road.
Afraid to step up?😂 Authority is Afraid to release driver details. 😂
I think he meant step up to help those in dire need regardless of race, language or religion.
Also the photo of the driver face
His identity has just been published in the papers.
Afraid to release? I’m afraid you have to go to jail immediately for asking to release the driver’s details
@@s._3560 yup, after my comment
V heart wrenching
Alhamdulilah brother..
Unlike in the 90s/00s. I don't see so many TP on the roads anymore. Foreigners-driven lorry trucks are speeding on expressways, especially in the evening peak hours. More lives will be threatened if TP don't step up,
You are the best of us brother
well-said.. we are all neighbours (y)
Feel very sad...hope the dad will have healing n wont blame himself n think too much...RIP dear daughter...
God bless all these good Samaritans. U all r truly good role models
Very educated... but still recklessly driving the car as if the road belongs to him.....
What the f is the authority doing?
Respect to this man!
This person (Merc AMG43) said he sped up to make the Saab (Black Car) slow down. He lied. He sped up to trap him behind another motorist. He simply cannot tolerate anyone speeding pass him and owning a AmG 43, he wanted to unleash the horsepower and fxxxk the black car over. The Saab avoided the front motorist and sideswiped the Merc. This person is also another to be prosecuted severely; not withstanding the fact, that when the Saab hit him, the driver looked at the rear view mirror and wondered what did he hit. By the time he looked straight again, it was too late. This Merc is guilty. If you looked at the video carefully, when the merc power up to force the Saab (black car) , this Saab driver noticed a motorist in front and he did swerved to avoid hitting this front motorist; despite driving at fast speed. The actual cause of the people’s death is this merc driver. It is common sense, to look in the mirror what did you hit. It is this distraction that took the Saab’s driver eyes off the road. Thus, this Merc driver attributed to this terrible accident. He deregistered his vehicle immediately the following day and other netizens have surfaced his other intimidating and arrogant road behaviors. If he had allowed the black Saab to overtake, he may have kept his eyes on the road and thus, this disaster may not incur the loss of lives. He lied without conscience and does not repent. Yet, he is trying to lie his way out when other moans for their family member’s death. Netizens should disclose who he is. Everything is under wrapped for the moment from the authorities pending investigation. I feel very sorry for the lost ones and their family and yet I am angry to see this Merc driver trying to get away and not be implicated for his vicious action. People died. How are their families going to live through this sudden loss. Yet, we have a liar who doesn’t own up for his actions and defending his innocent stance.
You write a long story to defend the behaviour of the saab driver.
One big question is why saab driver speed and tries to overtake mercs? Because of taunting and ego? Immature kids. You think you playing daytona?
Even if mercs at fault for taunting, can u beat up that person and say u are not at fault.
The main culprit is still saab driver for speeding and overtaking. No excuses
Dont try to defend the saab driver for speeding.
Saab is the main culprit.
Agree with OP, and for those saying OP is defending Saab, yall OK or not? He's obviously not justifying Saab's crime for speeding. But also trying to tell others that that Benz also not an angel like he tried to defend himself on social media. Benz 100% contributed to this tragedy, both drivers was reckless and selfish in their own ways.
Did the merz driver say anything? You guys are really resourceful.
Got evidence ?
Agree and Very true bro!
It is a traumatic experience for everyone who witnessed the accident. Seek help if you need. It will take time to heal but you will eventually.
Hero ❤
Kudos 😊
Funny no information abt the driver trying to hide abt him i guess
Court will sentence him to 2 years, then potong to 1-1/2 years. Maybe 5 or 10 years disqualified from driving. But judging by the irresponsible behaviour of the driver he can just drive another car without license and probably kill someone again. Then same thing, court sentence maybe 3-5 years again and come out and recommit. That’s how stupid our laws are. Useless.
Thank you bro. Even in kain pelekat (sarong) you stepped out and helped. I feel sorry for the father who loss his daughter.
Awesome Imran aka black... multiple blessings for u
I will never forgive the driver..the pain that he has inflicted onto the families...dead and injured
A very sad this tragic accident happened in the morning one reckless driving has taken the life of others . Take the steepes conviction of this person's who cause it so as to warn others.......
Everyone - victims, bystanders, rescuers - have all been identified. EXCEPT the perpetuator.
"May others Live."
Who is the driver driving the black saab????
Good man. I am a little shocked people in the community avoid helping.
Wow. brave.
Respect!
The instinct is shocked and some will be busily taking pics and videos.
