M’sian motorcyclist dies in PIE accident; family appealing for witnesses

A 63-year-old Malaysian motorcyclist was involved in a fatal accident on the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE) on Apr 29; his family is now appealing for any information on what happened. The man reportedly got into an accident between 5 pm and 6 pm at PIE towards Tuas near the Jahar Bahar exit. Unfortunately, he did not survive.

“The family of the deceased hopes to find out the cause of the accident and wishes that those who witnessed this accident will come forward,” wrote a politician Facebook page Wong Bor Yang 黄勃扬 on May 4. “If you have any relevant information of the accident, please approach us immediately at 016-7763627,” the post noted.

According to 8TV Mandarin News, the family of the deceased have nearly no information on what caused the accident. The family’s appeal has been shared on other Facebook pages, such as Traffics accident.SG and ROADS.sg

Although there are security cameras installed at the scene of the accident, China Press reported that the police are currently investigating the case and could not release any information at the moment.

In April last year, a motorcyclist was involved in a fatal accident involving two lorries along PIE. The motorcyclist was found trapped under a lorry and was released using an airbag, said the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF). The police and SCDF announced that the man was pronounced dead at the scene by a paramedic.

“It’s not good to travel to work from Johor Bahru to Singapore every day. Too dangerous,” noted Facebook user He Lim on the latest incident.

Motorists are reminded to practise extra caution and ride or drive safely. /TISG
