The mystery passenger involved in the fatal accident on Saturday
has been identified as a student from China who had just graduated
from a hospitality course at a private university here.
In the latest updates by The Straits Times (ST), the woman is
still recovering in a high dependency ward at TTS after being
wheeled in to an operation on the afternoon of May 14.
According to friends who visited her at the hospital, she is a
student from Wuhan, China, studying in Singapore.
ST reported that her name is Ms Wu Wei Wei, and she is a recent
graduate from the East Asia Institute of Management.
The private school has said that it was helping Ms Wu with her
insurance claims.
Her friends, who declined to be named, said that they had seen
her with Mr Ma before, but did not elaborate on the nature of the
relationship.
They added that Ms Wu has a boyfriend.
Her friends also expressed doubt at the rumours flying around
about Ms Wu being a nightclub hostess, saying that it was not
possible as Ms Wu was a full-time student.
She did not hold any job, they insisted.
They added that Ms Wu is from a reputable and financially stable
family.
"Why would she need to work as a hostess when her family can pay
for everything?" one female friend said.
Ms Wu is currently in stable condition, but is weak and has
difficulty speaking, eating and walking.
She declined to speak to the ST reporter.
Just hours before the accident, Ms Wu was said to have been at a
graduation party with her classmates.
However, details of how she ended up in the passenger seat of
the red Ferrari involved in the accident is unclear.
All that is known is that she was out driving around Singapore
with Mr Ma Chi, 31, in the wee hours of Saturday morning.
In the horrific accident that followed, she was seriously
injured in the three-vehicle crash that has claimed the lives of
three people so far.
Those killed include Mr Ma, a Chinese national working as a
financial advisor here in Singapore, taxi driver Cheng Teck Hock,
52, and the taxi's passenger, a Japanese female passenger in her
20s.
Ms Wu was the sole survivor of the direct crash, but walked away
with serious injuries, including head injuries and a fractured
right leg.
Motorcyclist Muhamad Azami Awang, 26, who was involved
in the accident described the woman to have long hair which was
dyed brown like an 'ah lian'.
He added that she was slim and fair skinned, and was
wearing hot pants and a white spaghetti-strap tank
top.
He told The New Paper that he was surprised to see the
woman emerge from the wrecked car.
Friends of Mr Ma told The Sunday Times that they have no idea
who the woman is. They also said they did not know why she would be
in the car with Mr Ma so early in the morning.
However, reports by Shinmin Daily point to the mystery
lady being a hostess at a popular nighclub.
It is believed that Mr Ma patronised the nightclub on
the night of his death, and brought the girl for a
spin.
According to eye-witnesses, his red Ferrari had been
spotted several times at the nightclub premises. But the nightclub
valets interviewed by the paper said that they have never seen the
Ferrari at the location.
The paper further reported that there is indeed a
nightclub hostess at the club that has been warded in
hospital.
