To The Moon

Mainstream Singapore media outlets—like The Straits Times, Mothership.sg, Shin Min Daily News (via reports), Lianhe Zaobao, and others—have consistently highlighted the victims' nationality: the 31-year-old mother and her six-year-old daughter were Indonesian tourists on holiday, with the family including a father and a younger child (around two years old). A Vietnamese eyewitness gave a chillingly detailed account of the accident in her native language. Her testimony was translated into English by a netizen and shared online. She has made it clear that she is ready and willing to testify in court. What happened next is utterly infuriating. The very moment the accident occurred, the Indian female driver stepped out of her car—not with shock, not with guilt, not with concern—but with arrogance. She raised her voice at the father and immediately began blaming him. No apology. No remorse. No humanity. She accused his wife and daughter of “not looking out for traffic,” as if they were at fault for being crushed by her vehicle. At that exact moment, the father was cradling his young daughter, her body soaked in blood, struggling to stay alive. Her blood was flowing from her mouth. His wife lay on the road, motionless, her leg run over, fighting for her life. And this heartless woman chose that moment to shout and assign blame. Try to imagine the cruelty of it. A man utterly destroyed—watching his child bleed in his arms, his wife broken on the asphalt—being screamed at and accused, as if he were the criminal. The sheer lack of empathy is beyond comprehension. It is cold. It is brutal. It is inhuman. He did not deserve this. Not for a single second. I sincerely hope the law shows no mercy and comes down hard on this driver, who displayed zero remorse, zero guilt, and zero conscience. Justice must not be gentle with someone capable of such callousness. I also hope the court summons the Vietnamese witness. Her testimony matters. The truth matters. Look closely at the driver’s hand gestures when she exited the car. No shock. No regret. Only accusation. She blamed everyone but herself. I have rarely seen a more cold-blooded display of human behavior in my life No official reports from police statements, news articles, or the driver's husband's interview (published in Shin Min and referenced widely) mention the 38-year-old female driver's nationality, ethnicity, origin, or immigration status. She is described only by her age, gender, driving experience (over 10 years), and actions post-accident (stopping to check on victims, calling for help, later expressing deep guilt and remorse via her husband). Police updates confirm her arrest on February 6 for driving without reasonable consideration causing death, with investigations ongoing as of February 8. This selective detail has fueled speculation and frustration in social media circles—particularly on platforms like Facebook groups (e.g., SG Road Vigilante, with high-engagement posts showing 100+ comments/reactions), Reddit threads (r/singapore and others), and forums. Eyewitness accounts shared there describe the driver as an "Indian woman" or use terms like "CECA" (a slang often referring to certain South Asian immigrants in Singapore contexts), alleging she failed to check properly while turning, accelerated quickly, and possibly blamed pedestrians for not seeing her "big car" (the BYD Sealion 7). Some posts accuse media of deliberately omitting background details to avoid controversy, while emphasizing the victims' foreign status. Police and official sources have not released any such information about the driver—standard practice in ongoing investigations unless relevant to charges or public safety. Singapore's media guidelines (and police protocols) often avoid identifying personal details like nationality early on, especially if the person is a local resident or citizen, to prevent doxxing or undue bias.The disparity in reporting—full details on the victims, none on the driver—has left many questioning transparency, especially given the heartbreaking contrast: a holiday family devastated versus a local driver picking up her own six-year-old child (who was reportedly in the car and badly shaken). It adds another layer of pain and anger to an already devastating incident. RIP to the little girl. Thoughts remain with the Indonesian family as they navigate this nightmare far from home. Justice through the ongoing investigation is what matters most now.
