A video emerged online showing an SBS Transit bus beating the red light and almost colliding with a father-daughter duo who were crossing the road.
The incident happened on 28 December at about 6.10pm, at the junction of Jurong East Avenue 1 and Jurong East Street 31.
The traffic light was red at the time in favour of the pedestrians, and the bus was seen beating the red light.
A father was seen crossing the road at the time with his young daughter in hand and almost got run over by the bus.
Thankfully the father was alert enough and stopped just in the nick of time to avoid becoming a tragedy, as the bus sped past them.
Potential penalties
Under the Road Traffic Act, the penalty for not conforming to the traffic light signal for heavy vehicles in Singapore is a fine of $500 and 12 demerit points.
