... you would be traumatised for life... 
Can you please be more mature and sensitive? That's one human
life gone, another fighting for his life in a hospital, and you are
still talking about breakdown tickets for free bus rides? Have you
been so blinded by materialism?
This is why I'm getting more disappointed with Singaporeans.
It's not just an idea anymore; get into trouble, as long as you
have tons of money, you grab the best (but warped) lawyer you can
find to get your own ass out of hot soup, then scoot off with the
most minimal or even no punishment.
This brings to mind another accident I read about. Can't remember
much, but it said that someone failed trying to appeal his sentence
in court. Apparently, he ran over a rich man who was jaywalking,
and just because that dead person (and their family) is rich, the
person who ran over him (who is actually quite poor) has to pay
extravagant sums of money to their family. Someone's literally
paying the price of a wrong of another person, just because he has
the money.
Our moral, justice, and other timeless ethical values have become
warped with money, selfishness, greed, and materialism...

My prayers and hopes go out to your friend; tell him to be
strong, tell him that every sensitive soul who reads and knows
about this feels for him.
