To be honest, in some parts of China, you could actually get away with it.

Sporean driver or foreigners?

but if it is WT13, then it should be under WL. news footage looks like KJ...

The 59 yr old driver is a Singaporean Chinese driver. The bus he
drove was "WT 13", which his job is to pickup other SMRT drivers to
the bus depot. What shocking is that after he brought back the
damaged bus to the bus depot, he told the controllers that, he bang
a tree and requested a bus switch, as he still have another 2nd
wave to pick up the SMRT drivers.
And another unconfirmed news is that, my dad says there's 2
casualties died in this accident. Apparently my daddy heard about
it from his fellow SMRT colleagues...
Just like that char bor lexus driver who hit a cyclist, think she hit a tree branch also, then carried on driving. Lexus soundproofing so good, cannot tell got body being dragged.

443M,543H,613P belongs to KJ
446E,477R,804E is WL
583S,623K,798P is AMDEP, If I am not wrong all 3 rim guards are done with, 798P still saw it with silver rims w/o guards, on 167 tuesday.
Had a feeling it is 804E due to its grill.

Chinese nationals are speedsters on our roads, So if they can do it in their country dont be surprised they can do it here.

Hello, 79 years old ah pek leh, he probably suffered from fright + multiple fracture (With his old and fragile bone) = confirm plus chop will die one without the need to follow the BMW incident in China, the question is will he die on scene or the nearest available hospital. Thats all.
This kind of thing is a 2-way one. Ppl always thought at midnight can anyhow cross the road especially no cars, SLs speed like no-ones business when it comes to midnight, especially chinese nationals beware they like to chiong the road like nobodys business.
Down to all, who can we blame?
in e first place can buses be speeding in Singapore?
oh nose, speed limiter not working...

(majority of the S'poreans generally don't have the guts to speed though, only Chinese nationals do, and they treat asif the roads belong to them.
I remember it took 178 about 59 minutes to reach Boon Lay from Woodlands, driven by a chinese national. (2nd last bus)
a local driven one,(last bus) I almost missed my bus home though.

which SMRT SL wun resort to speeding with the quality of schedule planned?
not i wanna dig, even SMRT's train schedule is getting unreliable. 5 - 1 - 1 arrival at BNL every morning.
Result? Sudden spike in passengers waiting at BNL + the problem at platform escalator. Train arriving though escalator still w/ like 100 commuters.
