Mr Tong Kok Wai, the victim of a hit and run accident in the
early hours of 15 December 2009 at Bukit Panjang, was cremated
today. He was sent off by about 40 relatives and friends at the
Mandai crematorium.
His newly-wed wife of only one month Madam Yenni Young cried all
the way from the wake to the crematorium. Mr Tong’s mother said she
hope the police will catch the driver who did this to her son.
30 year old Mr Tong, a Malaysian and Singapore PR, was crossing
a road with his friend, Mr Bong Hwee Haw, 24, when they were struck
by a black Audi A6.
The car ploughed into another victim, 18-year-old Muhamad Haris
Abu Talib, about 100m down the road.
Mr Tong suffered severe brain damage from the accident and was
declared brain dead by NUH doctors. His wife made the fateful
decision to take him off life support at 2pm on Christmas Day. Mr
Tong’s family agreed to donate his organs.
The car was traced back to the Romanian Embassy. It was reported
to be stolen at the time of the accident by Dr Silviu Ionescu, the
embassy’s charge d’affaires.
According to the state media, Dr Ionescu is currently overseas
while the car’s regular driver is still in Singapore.
For some strange reason, the
usually efficient Singapore Police are still investigating the case
after two weeks and no arrests have been made.
Due to the intense public interest in this case, the Singapore
Police has to be more forthcoming with their information and
updates on it instead of the customary reply – “investigations are
still ongoing.”
Well since the Car belongs to a romanian embassy, it's better to be
sure then start pointing fingers... even seems like SPF
investigators also facing alot of pressure from the top, not just
the public...
Hope justice can be done to the victim and his family...
