In regards to the accident at Toa Payoh, I just spoke with my
dad (I have a lot of parternal relatives living there - my late
grandmother used to live there, and I have a few uncles and an aunt
and their families up there in the neighbourhood where the accident
occurred too, so my dad is familar with the people and surroundings
there), and he says the victim was someone known to my relatives
living there; my dad says he doesn't know her well personally, but
she used to live in the same kampung (village) as my dad.
Listening to the reports, and being familar myself with the area
too, I can theorise that it was most likely the victim's fault; she
was riding out of the carpark onto the side road, and I find it
unlikely that she could have missed seeing something as big as a
bus unless she was not paying attention and was riding at speed.
There's a good reason why there are stop signs at intersections
without traffic lights, like the one where the accident occurred;
it's to get motorists (I consider cyclists who cycle on the roads
to be a motorist) to slow down and stop, and to look for and avoid
collision with oncoming traffic on the main road. Quite likely, she
was:
Of course, as I'm not a witness and an investigator, these are
only at best intelligent guesses.
Even then, no matter what exactly happened, I hope this can
serve as an important reminder to other motorists out there
(especially cyclists and motorcyclists) to obey the Stop sign and
stop at the intersection to check if the coast is clear before
continuing. Personally, whenever I cycle and come across a Stop
sign, I always at least slow to a crawl - and if I know I'm coming
onto a busy road or a road whose traffic conditions I'm unfamilar
with, I stop, even if the coast seems clear. Rushing through the
sign might bring fatal consequences, as it happened to the poor
woman here.
I hope she can rest in peace. 
Its also quite hard for a Scania to chiong there, the Mercs can
do so, but drivers driving Scanias tend to be slower, due to the
slope of the bridge, the bridge walls also pose a blind spot for
drivers driving there.
