  2nd fatal hit-and-run along the PIE in four days

  cabby was killed in an accident along the Pan Island Expressway (PIE) on early Friday morning, the second case of fatal hit-and-run in just four days.

  The 72-year-old was knocked by a car after he had pulled over and gotten out of his taxi on the road shoulder of the PIE, after the Eng Neo exit.

  The collision flung his body several metres away onto the grass verge. He was seriously injured and pronounced dead at the scene.

  The cabby had stopped his taxi to get a plastic bag from the boot for his nauseous passenger. 

  Police said a vehicle licence plate found among the debris helped establish the identity of the hit-and-run driver.

  A 29-year-old suspect was arrested at his home four hours later.

  Highway is a dangerous place to be.

  See all those vehicles as bullets and missiles passing you, go with the flow or you dodge them. You don't get in the way of any of them.

  wait one day, your children (assuming you have) leave you aside because they think you are old and troublesome and dirty. the ghamen dont give a hoot about you because your cpf already dry. then you have to earn your own living..and pocket money..and medical fees..at 65..70..75, then my turn to say aiyoh..to you. on the contrary, even though i also TD and people might think i sound heartless, but i think while the end for everyone is inevitable, god did him a favor (because there MUST be a reason hes still driving at 72, 99.99% everyone else would have been at home relaxing or holidaying). i only hope its instant and painless.

  on the other hand i will feel shitty for the young one. he is about to suffer a long long time for doing what is technically a good deed, but morally a bad thing. crazy we humans. punishing for the sake of punishment.

  someone might ask what if that old man has been my family, then i will say, i cannot put the biggest blame on that old man, neither the young chap. i should shoulder the biggest blame, because after so much time, either i still couldnt afford a comfy retirement for my family or i dont have the power to persuade an old man to stop plying on the roads, knowing full well its full of surprising dangers! but i also know i am man, not god, so everything will have its time.
