The fatal crash of the Ferrari in Bugis on 12 May 2012 led to 3 fatalities. Most people placed the blame on the driver of the Ferrari, who died in the crash. Video.
I want to point out that our government agencies have also to take a share of the blame. I remember reading several letters in the newspapers from the public complaining about the racing of cars in the early mornings.
One writer went to the Police and was told to refer the complaint to the Land Transport Authority or the National Environment Agency. Apparently, none of these agencies want to take responsibility to deal with the complaint. Link
We have to stop the finger pointing among our agencies. If there is a complaint about a law being broken, e.g. driving beyond the speed limit, any agency should take the complaint and work internally with the relevant agency to deal with the matter. They should not ask the public to go from one agency to another.
Now that three people have died, and needlessly, perhaps the government agencies will wake up and take action. They should also reflect on their past attitude - and be ready to act pro-actively in the future.
