Former actor Joshua Ang, of Jack Neo’s I Not Stupid movies fame, was involved in a motorcycle accident that sent him flying about 6-7 metres, on 24 March.
He shared a series of updates on his Facebook page on multiple days, detailing the trauma that he went through, as well as some reflection.
Here is his post on 24 March
Still alive, not dead. Had a super bad motorcycle accident today. Leg is completely disfigured, fortunately no fracture, just a ton of stitches.
Please excuse me if I’m MIA, will be taking a few days to recover.
Motorcycle damaged
Bike collected today. Has a huge dent on the frame, workshop says it’s most likely a total loss. Anyone has experience or knows this can be fixed, or is it really total loss?
What happened on the day of the accident?
Viewer’s discretion is advised;
16 days ago, I almost lost my life because of a reckless driver. I was travelling on a straight road on my motor bike when he smashed his car into my ride side. I was flung about 6 to 7 meters, and all I could remember was seeing bright lights and hitting my head against road 3 or 4 times.
They say your life flashes before your eyes before you die, I can vouch for that. Fortunately I was wearing a full faced helmet so there wasn’t any injuries to my face.
I got up in a daze and realized I was still lying on the road, so I got myself up onto the pedestrian walkway and laid down in a pool of blood.
No apologies, no “are you okay?”, the driver didn’t even get down to help.
By the grace of God, the crew at Esso, along East Coast road, witnessed the accident and rushed to help me. There were also 2 medical personnel who walked past and bandaged my leg; and two foreign workers who took umbrellas to shelter me and offered me water.
I cannot remember your names or your faces, but from the bottom of my heart, I thank you. To the ambulance crew and the team at Changi Hospital, thank you for taking care of me too, I have no recollection of your names but I really appreciate all your comfort and care.
My leg was pretty banged up, and even though suffer any fractures, I tore my meniscus pretty badly from the impact and I’m still unable to walk properly till date. Will be starting physio next week and doing a surgery 2 to 4 weeks from now.
Special thanks to Dr Edwin Tan from Cove Orthopaedic! It’s been a while since I last saw you! Looking forward to a full recovery and back to surfing!
Last but not least, to my beloved @catherinekfl , thank you for taking care of my all this while. Sorry to be of so much trouble.
No more riding for now I guess.
