Well done, STRAITS TIMES, for interviewing a 'friend' who posted the interview on his FB to promote his Fengshui business. Not unlike insurance agents who uses other people's tragedies and deaths to sell insurance on social media.
Well business as usual
😬
Show respect? What respect?
Respect is two way, if u don't respect other's lives , other's rights, then i do not think u earned that respect. His act could have hit other innocent passer by and cars and sent people flying!!
True
I so AGREED !!! These reckless driving in the wee hours which not only endangered others BUT they themselves too. WHAT KIND OF STUPIDITY and IDIOTIC ACTS THEY DID ... And ULTIMATELY THEY PAID THE PRICE!!!
Well *CHOICES they made will dictate the life they live* 🐽🐽🐽
True damn fucking right he / they don't deserved our respect the driver could have killed somebody innocent on the pavement thank god that night nobody was walking on that pavement where the incident took place .
@@laurenciachew2561 yup they sure are stupid lol not only he killed himself but his friend's too that were in the same car as him lol lmao lmfao they don't think life is more important meh ? Lol
Respect to their parents. Not the 5 guys. Imagine if you had already lost your child, and you are still reading negative comments about your child. It is an added stress and pain.
To all these rich young people out there. You tend to think this is challenging and fun. But you gotta pay it with your lives.
Parents’ greatest fear is for their children to make irrecoverable mistakes. Hopefully, the society can reflect and bring something good out of this tragedy.
No respect for the laws, the residents, the people around and their safety, then ask for respect. You made us Singaporeans look bad.
Precisely. How can they ask for respect when they are the ones are disrespecting. The least we can do is not to mock their deaths but it is what it is...they were a bunch of hooligans right up to that time
I totally agree on this.
However, opposition will say they are already dead, give them the respect they deserve.
mature people wouldn’t comment negative stuff about the dead. you will get your karma.
@@x3DeadlyInferno Karma for what? And if they had killed some innocent bystanders? Only then we are allowed to say something? Pfff . Get off your high horse. They left behind people who loved them to deal with the consequences emotional or otherwise... Play stupid games win stupid prizes
@@x3DeadlyInferno mature people won't say much cuz regardless of what being said, nothing will change. We can only learn a lesson and move on. I really hope it won't become a norm.
This is a wake up call for future howlians. The road is meant for safe transportation driving not speeding.
Want to speed ? go to proper racing track where it is purposely design for.
michael schumacher see also scared
Y arent u commenting on authority failure?
@@deschan2246 Authority failure? This is their personal failure. Im no fan of our authorities, but come on. Surely you're smarter than this?
@@nexu6517 its either u dont see it or a fan of authority.
@@nexu6517 if u hv watch the video clip, a woman name Rita commented car racing in that area is common. Y do authority not doing anything? They r not aware? Sleeping?
i dont understand why people gave beers as offering? Want them to drink again? LOL
They all must be drinking everydays that why lol.
Yes loh. So stupid. Why prayers 🍺 beer. They because of drinking 🍻🍺🍺 and racing and happening the accident and burning to dead. Why still prayers 🍻🍺🍺 beer for them. Better take it away. Prayers mineral water and packet drink 🙏 will do
The Deceased is a Drinker.... Drinker in this world and After world........ 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
should donate food or usable items in their loved ones name to charity that way someone poor will benefit
So called - one for the road to the afterlife
Is very hard to respect. Early morning, making so much noise and the neighborhoods are sleeping
Every morning? Y arent u reporting n get relevant authority to take action.
@@deschan2246 I also never see the accident. I stay far lol and busy sleeping on my bed
Can't even read and yet telling people off what to do. Lol
@@deschan2246
No point they wont take any action.
@@deschan2246 cantoment just around that corner, night shift a few hundred people inside all suddenly become deaf , cant hear the bloody vrooming. If they not interested in nabbing the issue, no matter how much complaints and visit to the mp is also useless .
Speeding is attempted murder.
For this instance is not attempted murder - it’s realised suicide.
@@marinekong235 attempted murder bounced back by karma
Not all cases
then.....stay at home.
No tard, otherwise all racing driver are potential murderers
I wonder if the entire group of friends have challenged the driver and those on the joyride to hit 150km/h after drinking. Such reckless challenges to validate their manhood and guts are very common among guys who drink and drive. Wonder if those who challenged the driver are able to sleep at night.
mayb that is y Wisely can't sleep....
i can imagine they would have "knn" a lot to the driver seconds before impact...these cars should have black box recorders in them
What manhood? 1 second erection next few minutes charcoal bananas
Btw its not 150km/h is 200+km/h
@@tristannxza Scary speed.
Condolences to the bereaved families. People make mistakes
and these young men have paid for it with their lives.
May they Rest In Peace.
Good thing God took away their lives, U go on forgiving mistakes until U become a victim too, k :)
Their life literally FLASHES through them and ended with a BANG! Imagine they knock over all the 'friends' filming at the side before crashing. This could have ended in a much much much more tragic 'accident' with bodies scattering around behind the trail.
Saw what you did there. Lifting the burden of the victim's family with joke is a good try.
actually if that happen if would be a blessing for the society, one shot clear so many menaces.
I only felt bad for the lady who tried to rescue them. I hope she will be ok🙏
I FELT BAD FOR THE BMW
Simp
I only feel bad for the residents...For years, they suffered from the noise of the racing cars. But now, they are able to sleep tight for at least quite a while since one of the culprit has been stopped.....
She got guts!
She is one of the 5 guys fiance
Wisely is wise not to be part of 5 victims.🙂
before taking an action
think of the consequences first
that should deter you from dangerous action
Just 4 fun loh
People complain speeding many years. Nobody take action. Now something happen now then take action. Human ignorance 🙄
Agree. Now is a wake up call for the MP in that area.
@@meiqichia4829 you’re right. If this has been happening for so many years, I’m sure residents brought up to LTA, MP. Looks like they were being negligent themselves.
Raj black, I'm from Malaysia. Is that stretch of road have any road humps?
Because residents have complained many times all these years.
@@chuahhockleong9916 must something bad happened than LTA will do something
just finding it odd why still offering more alcohol bottles...
Underrated
Eugene ...still wanna to drive mehhh??
Last drink. One for the road.
Cina bodoh ma...
That’s the problem. U need 5 persons to die first b4 taking actions. Like the saying goes “ when it’s not damaged dun repair it”
Our present government is taking cue from "LEARNING FROM MISTAKE". So why are we paying them so much. Everybody can do that!
@@ongernie7216 ..no wonder some minister said don't need a degree to earn fat salary.
that's not how the saying goes.... it's "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"
you think poster at MRT and bus stop say "Speed Kills" are for shows?? and you think in school teacher saying "Road Safety" is for left ear in, right ear out?? People had been putting effort to teach so dont push blame saying they didnt do anything okay??
Same like Parkway Parade circle.
Drink and drive accident is common but this is serious.
this incident should trigger more concern. Its not common if its always happen its become culture until someone life gone just like that
Why didn't all the other good friends sternly warn them not to continue speeding here in the first place? They should remind them that they could also meet the same fate of the tragic Ferrari accident happened in 2012 around 4.15 AM. But no one seemed to care at all. You call such friends real buddies? My foot lah!
🤡
👣
🙄
This man was smiling on his Facebook page and showing off his interview.
What I took away from this is.. your life can either be an inspiration, or an object lesson.
They also never think others need to sleep. Speeding like hell
These reckless guys never thought of their families when they were speeding saddens me.
But Wisely said don't comment negatively show some respect. 😆
@@knock-knockwhosthere9933
What bloody respect are you talking about when they were enjoying themselves speeding like that? They could have killed some innocent people on the road mind you.
@@patricialopez-wd1xe ... I know. But have to ask Wisely. 😜
Let these people's lives be a reminder to us that we are mortals... A moment of folly can lead to a lifetime of regret
Everyone makes mistakes. These guys made a big mistake and paid for it with their lives. No need to leave nasty/insensitive comments. Show some respect, compassion and consideration for their families who might read your comments. Don’t add to their pain. No one deserves this tragedy. Deepest condolences to the affected families.
People in the comments are being such assholes...just because somebody was being an idiot doesn't mean they deserved death. Imagine the parents of the victims seeing all these nasty comments about their dead child
They made a mistake , they pay for it . If not then wait until someone pay for their mistake ? Upbringing is very important too . Rich people are mostly the one who lack of teaching the correct way to their children .
Sometimes people over excited inside the car
They feel the road made for racing
They never think about outside people n inside about them what will happen
The result shown like that
Just Dua🤲 for everyone who is no more
I am sure alot of complaints lodged with the MP about cars speeding at night before this accident. Now then take action 🤦♂️
Brings back memories of a young 19yrs Thai friend...like a son to me, full of joy, who die in an accident in Thailand 10 yrs ago. Supposed to go back to join the Thai army....but who knows what fate entailed.
5 guys too...😭
Visited his mom at Surin, Thailand.
My deepest condolences to the Singapore families 🙏
Rip to all the young men condolences to their parents
There was a sports car speeding during wee hour a week before CNY and continued every night but stopped after this car crash happened. Hope all inconsiderate drivers learn a lesson from this accident.
He just made a public admission he was at the scene. Is he being interviewed soon?
Accessory to murder
Well I still have to say these victims were irresponsible and stupid . I hope those show-off reckless people out there can learn from this . I hate when people speed. What is the point ? Their friend should stop them . These stupid people can easily kill or hurt innocent people and also hurt the people that love you .
now the residents there can rest easy. no more racing there anymore.
hahaha u think only they are rich and racing. more is coming
No one can flout the road safety rules and get away with it.
Innocent passersby might get knock down on the street by these speeding cars.
Just imagine.
How horrific it would be if the reckless driver kill an innocent being?
RESPECT is both way.. you ask for respect after incident happened.. really jokers...
no respect for the law haha
dont drink n drive..that is the solution
Don't drink... That is the solution. No pun intended.
You cannot say people are uncompassionate about their deaths. What if inside the shophouses there are innocent people sleeping? More than 5 people will have died. Luckily nobody inside the shophouse.
So sad..
Show some respect to the fam members, although the decease has no respect to the law and other road users, not to mention residents nearby too? Oh ok.
Oh the irony!
I nominate this for top 10 idiots of sg 2021
You expect people to be impressed by filming and posting videos of intentional dangerous driving for clout. But when it ends up in an accident you ask for respect for the family? Did you discourage this reckless behaviour before it happened? Do you even deserve to be asking for respect on anyone's behalf?
The only good thing that can be said about this situation is that no innocent party was injured or killed.
The passengers ?
@@macktheripper7454 the passengers aren’t innocent they didn’t stop the driver from driving that fast,the only innocent guy sre the shop owner
I feel so sorry about that victims' friend. I can tell the way he talks, he is legit heartbroken. It's not easy to have a friend passed away just recently and get over with it. Hope he'll eventually be feeling mentally better though..
he is there.... he should have stopped 5 people from getting into a car that is actually designed for 4 people in the 1st place.
Could he be overwhelmed becos he could have challenged them to hit 150km/h?
@@markshippo i thk the police was saying the speed was 194km/h.
@@michelleyip9507 194 are you meowing me?? serious??
Yahh in FB they mentioned >200km speed and police interview too
If you drink, don’t drive.
probably didnt drink we need to wait for autopsy reports to confirm that..looks like it was a "motoseow" syndrome that lead to this
Advert gone deep into u!!!
Simple thing they don't want to follow bruh
The question is ..who going to pay the lost for the building or owner of the shop.... insurance or their family
Not just that. This lot will go down in history as the lot of "5 people who died in accident". Will be harder to rent or sell it in the future. Very hard to calculate the potential losses of the shop owner. Thanks to the stupid driver causing so much trouble even after death
It’s a sad tragedy for theirs families members cause it will be remembered on every lunar new year and it will take some time to really eased their sorrow.
Consider this being 'their' selfishness, had created sorrows for their families a long long time to heal..
Heartbreaking..
My heartfelt condolences to victim's family n friends..may ur soul rest in peace..
R.I.P.
No compassion - Innocent road users & pedestrians could hv been hurt or killed - The deceased are better off in hell
3 years ago is a Mercedes driver, this time is a BMW driver
For fast cars like the M class, special driver licenses should be issued only to those qualified plus undergone training. Only then will be approved to purchase a car of this category.
Inexperienced drivers will surely have an accident. This is a tail happy car
Why don't they follow the speed limit rule...... 😳😳😳😳
Are you implying those with special licence can speed?
naaah if people choose to misuse a car this is what happens...what we need is a speed testing track so itchy drivers can get their kicks there safely
I urge people who witness reckless driving of any kind to take down their license plates and call the police. or if you hear such loud revving of cars in the wee hours. I regret not taking down a license plate of a car that drove past a red light at a school zone. This kind of hooliganism and sense of invincibility of drivers in Singapore has got to stop.
The Need for Speed eventually becomes Needless Deaths.
Youngsters are naive when driving cars no doubt. Government also Should put more road humps like in malaysia rural areas (Kampong) where single straight road has 10 humps to prevent MAT REMPIT doing stupid stuff.
Imagine the driver is the sole survivor of this fatal accident, he will surely go to jail for a very long time, and live a life full of remorse for his beloved car
Actually if that scenario happened, he would not be locked up for a long time. Traffic accidents sentences actually are quite light, because they need to establish that there was an intent to cause harm.
Chi privilege
Rest in peace 🙏
Life is like a dream..Here today gone tomorrow.fare thee well my friend and may eternal rest grant unto thee....
The question that needs to be asked is, why do we allow fast cars in Singapore? Where are they rushing to? Traffic lights everywhere. Those cars never get to flex their muscles here. Every 3rd gear, traffic lights.
Who's allowing these cars to be modified further even? Aren't the motorshops monitored? Or are these allowed cos the authorities like bringing billionaires here who want their 'toys' here too. Imagine telling locals you can't have these toys but those who like using Singapore as a playground can.
I am sorry of your loss
I just want to know why the driver sped at that speed... What upset me is he brought along the lives of his friends. Dammed idiotic driver.
It is for racing and joy ride. They paid too high a price for this thrill. My question is why the MP of that area and the Police not doing their job when they are aware from residents of such activities going on? This tragedy could have been prevented. Pray the families can heal and move on with their lives.
Anders Neo, who the bloody hell do u think u are to judge only one person just because he is the driver whereas the rest are his passengers?! If u really want to know the reason,then i suggest u go look for these guys over the side of the world n asked them lol! Nobody really know exactly what goes wrong,only the five of them know so don't pass judgment on just the driver only! They are fated to die together in this tragic accident!
@@qistinaang8103 they saw a ghost.....then loose control of the vehicle..... 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
@@qistinaang8103 there r eye witnesses account that loud noises due to speeding can b heard 10 minutes long b4 the crash. n the accident happened on their 3rd lap.
N the girl who squad and record on her hp for her so called skilled driver friend... what does it mean? the speeding is all premeditated... they organized this irresponsible stunt...!!
a responsible driver will not have allow 5 people in a car that is designed for 4 people in the 1st place. so he is actually an irresponsible guy.
so even without the speeding, an accident will happen sooner or later with the way he so knowingly disregarded safety protocols.
to show to his mrt friends what a 400hp horseless carriage is capable of...
My sincere condolences to the people involved, as well as their families and extended families. May they rest in peace.
And also, let this be a lesson to the rest to drive safely, and not risk doing anything stupid before driving, or before doing anything, really.
When it comes to an accident, some people immediately say that the accident was caused by drunken driving, like a detective. I have experienced losing control of the car sometimes. During the day my car crashed like this. But i have not met the accident on my own initiative. What was wrong with the New Year celebration? They are no harm to anyone. It was an accident. Don't talk about the accident caused by drunken driving. Accident caused by loss of control. Poor. Say comfort to those parents who have lost their children. Pray for peace of the souls of their lord. Share your concern to the family of those souls who are already unable to bear the loss. Please do not criticize them wrongly. It was a great sin. May the soul of the five rest in peace at the feet of the Lord.
Respect is earn, not given. Especially in this kind of tragedy where action determine the outcome ........ all you could ask from public is mercy and compassion. He made a mistake, he paid a heavy price for it, the people understand that. For the price that he pay you seek public's end to his condemnation. Thus you hope public would treat the incident with compassion and be merciful to the deceased. Asking for respect is poor choice of words. As if he is demanding the public to shut up about this incident which I am pretty sure will fume more people to be even more toxic in their comment towards the dead.
They not bad kids . All are adult has bright future and career . They make a wrong decision and lost their life . Spare some thought for the families
What if they hit and killed one of your loved ones?
😡😡😡😡😡😡😡👹👹👹
Shut up la sally
You can talk shit...if they hit people and kill people how? So now race and speed in the grave!
Yeah right... With your mentality we should free all criminals in the prison
With many theories and assumption abound, whatever happened have already happened, move on frm here, a LIFE LESSON to b learnt
You didn't read the story told by the deceased himself......... 🤔🤔🤔🤔🙄🙄🙄🙄
This lesson was taught long long long time ago already. Repeated lesson is just foolish acts.

Tats S55 engine.. M4, 2door coupe, fm the pic u C charge pipe is alum, means extra hp.... original 4piston brake which is less effective, back right side fuel cap and under gas tank seem ok NOT burn... full front bumper no damage means its not head ON hit.. mayb the traction is OFF.. 4wheel still intact even mount kerb.. the left side door is lean on the wall which is impossible to open.. the only way out is driver door. M car has special fuse to cut off electric when accident. The total burn is inside car & boot up... so it should be 3party supply fuel....
5 person in 1 M4, traction on or off not much difference. sport car should be 2 person max.

I find no pity for all these people. To see the video after the crash happened and find a taxi driving up the other end......that could be someone father, mother, sister, brother coming home. Someone is protecting them from lawbreakers and they paid their life for it.
They are gone from your sight, but never from your hearts. May my condolences ease the pain of this loss.
It is very shocking even they are not my family. Hope other people learn this lesson for love ones
Love our kids , not over care our kids .

Peace. Peace. Peace.
That is why all worldly racing associations doesn't include Bruce Lee XO in each driver/rider's checklists before any races
The issue is not about road being narrow, it is about stupid people speed where they should not!! Please get the fact correct!! I dont wish for such a nice area to be torn down because of such incident. And those who had sped before, stop instigating others thinking speeding is cool and fun cos this is the same as murdering them.
And it is the same as murdering those innocent lives being drag along. Imagine if there is an elderly waking up early and happen to be crashed.
died from drunk driving. Pay respect by giving more alcohol...

Respect? Who is going to pay for the burnt shoplot?
Reckless behaviour. Reaping what they've sowed. May sound mean. Thankfully no innocent passerbys got killed by them.

Was it the car or the driver was drunk?
DRIVE SAFELY.
According to the residence, this car been speeding a few times in the same road, before the crash. I strongly thinks the driver lost control as behind of the car have 3 people sitting cannot get out as this car having 2 doors not 4 doors once the driver and side passenger seat is trapped. You can say the driver is at fault and murder the 4 passengers.
I M SORRY FOR THE
Is a tragic that 5 young lives lost in a flash and one critically injured but at least some consolation that no innocent pedestrian or motorist was killed and now e authority have noted and improving e safety in that area and also a warning and reminder for F1 wannabe on e danger of speeding and racing and most important, they esp e driver are no longer a threat to other road users.
Behaviour ppl what I can say.
