You can read the full post below:
“My dad is 68 years old and this accident happened at Yuan Ching Road around 9.30pm on 16/6/21.
He was going to his stall and was carrying 2 big bags of packed chilli sauce.
And on his way there after crossing the road, a bicycle rode by a female biker came at a very high speed and knocked him down from behind. He fall immediately and hit his head against the ground and blacked out for a few seconds.
When he wakes up he was already in a pool of blood. An eye witness informed me that the biker seemed to be using her HP prior to the accident and the bicycle was not installed with lights.
By the injury assessed, the impact was definitely very huge and seems to be hit by a fast object.
I seriously urge all riders riding on pavement shared with pedestrians especially those narrow ones to ride at a safe speed, give yourself ample time to react. If at night do install lights at the front and back of the bicycle.
There are times when a senior citizen suddenly comes out and doesn’t have time to react to you because they are old and their reaction is slow and this is when the rider plays an important part by ensuring they have ample reaction time to prevent such accident.
Most importantly stay focus on the path and do not use your handphone, if you want to use your phone please stop ur bicycle at a side first.
Given the significant rise of riding hobbyist and more food delivery riders around, i urge the authority to create more cycling path if possible.
There’s a saying in Chinese that the road is like the mouth of a tiger but with so many riders on the pavement nowadays, a pedestrian walkway can be a mouth of a tiger too.”

In a recent interview between Finance Minister Lawrence Wong and CNBC, Lawrence Wong stated information about travelling.
Not optimistic of air travel
In the dialouge Mr Wong said that he is less sanguine about air travel and stated that the region is still facing infections of the virus.
He added that the vaccination rates for countries in the region is not high enough and therefore he don’t think that open and free travel in the region will be happening anytime soon.
But
In countries with low infection rates, there may be some travel arrangements. It is believed that Lawrence Wong is referring to the travel bubbles.
