A SINGAPORE Armed Forces regular died after she was thrown off her
motorcycle and landed in a drain along Pan-Island Expressway.
The bride-to-be, Ms Siti Nur Baidura Mohd Yusof, 22, was on her way
with her fiance, full-time national serviceman Fareed Serlan, 20,
to hand over her medical certificate at Maju Camp at Clementi Road
on July 23 when the accident happened. No other vehicle was
involved.
The couple were to wed in six days and invitation cards had been
sent out.
An inquiry into her death heard that her fiance, who was riding
pillion, was warded for five days for injuries to his face, knees
and left elbow.
Investigation showed that Ms Nur Baidura had apparently lost
control of her 125cc motorcycle along the right-most lane with
intermittent gouge marks. She was thrown off from the motorcycle
and landed in the drain.
Just before the accident, she had informed her family that she was
feeling dizzy. She consulted a doctor at Bedok Polyclinic and was
given a day's MC. She and her fiance were heading towards camp to
hand the MC to her supervisor when she was killed.
State Coroner Ronald Gwee recorded a verdict of misadventure.
Her elder brother, Mr Mohammad Noor Azhar, 24, who attended the
inquiry, is now riding her motorcycle which she had bought about
six months before the accident.
He described her as a talkative, sporty and very active person, who
loved karaoke.
'I miss her so much,'' he told reporters outside court.
