In Memory of My bro Soon Beng

Created this blog for my late brother Soon Beng

What exactly happened?I do not know the exact details of the accident as it is still pending investigation by the traffic police. I do not wish for this blog or any other forms of non-factual circulation to affect or delay the traffic police investigation. I would just like to keep our relatives, brother's friends, colleagues and those who care about what happen in the loop. Most importantly, we hope for more witnesses to step out and provide information to the traffic police.

Those who are close to my brother may want to send me a mail or anything which they want to say to my or about brother and post on this blog.

On 24th February 2006, a Friday afternoon around 1630hours, my bro just finished his work at CSIT (Center For Strategic Infocomm Technologies) at Science Park 2 and was traveling on his bike on Science Park Road towards Pasir Panjang Road. As he was approaching the uncontrolled cross junction in front of Teletech Park, a lorry traveling at the opposite direction made a right turn and my brother’s bike collided into the front passenger side of the lorry.

He sustained multiple injuries, and was gasping for breath while waiting for the ambulance to arrive. He stopped breathing in the ambulance, and was pronounced dead in the hospital at 1800 hours. The passenger in the lorry also sustained injuries but I do not know the details. The lorry driver escaped unhurt.

I am appealing for more witnesses of the accident and pray more people will come out to tell what they say… it doesn’t matter who is rite or who is wrong, most important is what actually happened! From what I know and believe, with my brother’s riding skills of more than 10yrs, he is a very safe rider and would not endanger the life of others or his own life!

This is what he use to say to me: “I’ll rather wear my riding gear, jackets, boots, helmets, etc… and go for it on the race track at least I know it’s safer to fall there, because there isn’t any kurb or trees on the race track. To do something foolish on the road not only have a higher risk of injury but also risk OTHER ROAD USERS ”.

With all that said and done, I’ll like to just appeal for more witnesses and hope everyone who reads this will pass the blog or message around to whoever might be working around Science Park 2 who may have seen what happened.“Appealing for more Witness for accident at Science Park Road at the entrance to unit 20 on 24/02/06 Friday 1642hour contact traffic police”

I like to take this oppotunity to thank everyone who turn up for my brother’s wake and funeral and for their help and assistance.
