oh this news ...
SINGAPORE: Two brothers died after they were hit by a
cement truck near Dunman Secondary School, at Tampines Street
45.
The 56-year-old Singaporean driver has been arrested for
causing death by rash act.
At around 6pm on Monday, the Singapore Civil Defence Force
received a call for help.
But when paramedics arrived at the scene, both boys, aged
seven and 13, were pronounced dead.
A MediaCorp hotline caller said that the incident happened
only 50 metres from the school gates, and that he saw a smashed
bicycle lying near the boys.
Speaking in Mandarin, he said it was an awful sight and very
upsetting.
Some residents who live in the area say that the area where
the incident happened sees a lot of traffic, and can be
dangerous.
Mr Zoe Jaffar, who has lived in the area for 16 years said:
"The traffic lights change quite fast, sometimes drivers tend to
speed up to beat the traffic
lights."
Another resident in the area, teenager Tan Khai Feng added
that people sometimes also cross the road even though the traffic
lights have not indicated that it is safe for them to do
so.
Resident Lim Heng Chew said: "This is a hotspot for traffic
accidents... (another boy) recently got knocked down by a taxi -
the boy is my son's classmate."
He added that just a few months back, a Malay lady was also
knocked down at the junction, and is worried because he has two
school-going children.
To the 7 and 13 Years Old Brother.
