A van hit onto my friend’s father motorcycle. From the statement my friend’s father give, the van driver was trying to make a illegal U-turn from left lane to the right lane on the other side.

The driver U-turn suddenly, causing my friend’s dad to run into the side of the Van and currently hospitalized for broken bone on left thigh. During investigation the van driver changes his statement saying he came out from the car park. Due to this accident ,my friend’s dad is unable to work for 3 months.

Anyone who was at that place and time please contact her at +65 81540897.

The bus captain shouted from the driver seat and informed me that my son had not pay for his bus fare. So I approached to the front to inform the bus captain that my son is a 6 year old boy and willing to show him supporting documents to ask for leniency because I did not bring my son’s Child Concession Card. However the bus captain was not interested and only informed me that any child above 0.9m in height will be required to tap Child Concession Card or pay a student cash fare.

In my heart, I always has a serious question. How does the bus captain able to identify if the Child Concession Card belong to my child when the card do not have any picture or information for identification purpose? Since this was the regulation and bus captain was not lenient, I informed the bus captain that my decision was to alight the bus with my son using the rear exit doors (since my son is still at the rear of the bus).

Just when my son and I were about to step out of the bus, the rear exit doors were closing. I had to pull my son to my back and cause him to fall down on the floor while the rear exit doors hit me. This was an accident and cause me to come up with 2 conclusions.

1) Bus Captain voluntarily causing hurt to his passengers because of his unprofessional conduct of ‘unhappiness’ by closing the rear exit doors to hit his passenger(s) and create an accident.

2) Bus Captain negligent for failure to ensure safety of his passengers alighting the bus and causing hurt to his passengers by closing the rear exit doors to hit his passenger(s) and create an accident.

I hope that SMRT will investigate this accident and get back to us.
