The cabby involved in a fatal hit-and-run accident in Jalan Eunos
last December has still not been found. Bangladeshi construction
worker Md Abdul Hannan Md Maham Ali, 26, was supervising other
workers who were laying underground cables along the road at about
5am on Dec 2 last year when a Toyota Crown taxi hit him and
fled.
He suffered serious head injuries and died about an hour later in
hospital. During a coroner's inquest into his death in March, the
court heard that when the workers had some difficulty in pulling
the cables through the manholes, Mr Abdul Hannan told them to move
to another manhole while he stayed behind.
A while later, Mr Abdul Hannan was struck by the taxi which sped
from the scene. Investigators traced the cab to taxi company
Premier. Over 100 taxis were inspected but none was found to have
suspicious bumps or scratches.
On Friday, State Coroner Imran Abdul Hamid expressed concern as to
the identity of the driver and the inability to ascertain who he
was. He urged the person to come forward and explain his version of
what happened that morning, saying the deceased was someone's
brother and son.
