Tragic accident at Tampinese - pls wear cycling helmets!

[northernstar]

Www:

northernstar:

i saw in a post from a website that someone said not to buy bicycles for children when they are not matured enough to be left alone outside and i agree. if they are unable to take care of themselves, wearing helmet is of no use.

Why are they riding bicycles unsupervised?

:sad:

Www,

i'm also not sure why but i saw before some children are playing at playgrounds or in void decks without any adults or maids around. it seems that the parents are not at home or they are out by themselves.

Who do we approach if we think there is a junction that is dangerous so need to put traffic lights? Town Council or LTA?

Good question! I also want to know. So how, 3Boys, LTA is the one to call? They took action?

The pace of life should be slowed down a bit instead of rush and rush, quick and quick… don’t need to be so kiasu and strive to be the 1st in the world in terms of economy.


Riding a motorcycle on the road is already dangerous enough. Unlike other countries such as USA, motorcycle is considered a vehicle, thus, occupying a space just like other vehicle instead of going through cars. Thus, don’t talk about bicycle. Cyclists basically have no place on the road. If they shared the road with the other road users, do you think the cars will give way? They also can’t cycle on the pavement as the pedestrains also do not give way as the pavement is not meant for the cyclists. So, a cyclist path should be designed instead of building so many nice buildings to show off the economy success of Singapore.

Thanks Buds.. Yes, I am feeling better, but only physically.. :sad:

Some people may think that the boys' funeral today will put a closure to the incident for the family.. But I do not think so.. During the wake, the parents were too busy and tired to think much.. And there were always people around to console and talk to them.. But after the funeral, when the parents go home to an empty house, that is when all the suppressed grief and sorrows will pour uncontrollably..

May God bless the parents with strength to go through this very difficult period..

Agree! The grief comes later. Everything, every smell, all the memories will hit when all is quiet.
