Poly student punches cabby after his girlfriend's bike collides with taxi at Woodlands

Stomp | Monday, Mar 17, 2014

SINGAPORE - A polytechnic student punched a cabby after his girlfriend's motorbike collided with the taxi at Woodlands Street 12 on the night of Mar 10, 2014.

According to omy.sg, the female motorcyclist, 20-year-old Shamila, had got her licence just three months ago.

Shamila was thrown off her bike when she collided with the taxi and suffered abrasions on her face. She feared that the abrasions would leave permanent scars on her face.

As a result, her angry boyfriend threw a punch at the 50-year-old cabby.

The cabby was switching from the left to the right lane when he unknowingly collided with the motorbike. He then saw Shamila and her boyfriend both fall off the bike onto the road, reported Shin Min.

He said: "I wanted to check whether they were injured, but not only did her boyfriend stop me, he even threw a punch on my left cheek."

His face was swollen but during the interview with the reporter, he shook his head and said he would not pursue the matter.

According to SCDF, Shamila and her boyfriend were sent to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital.

When Shamila's mother arrived at the scene, which is near where they live, both of them had already been sent to hospital. She was very worried when she saw the bloodied helmet.

If I was him, I will make a police report , go to Chamber R State Court ( waiting time 3 hours) , wait for 3 - 5 months and then wait for 12 months before the court charged the assailant. I will go to hospital to seek medical and MC. After that hired a lawyer to make a claim for both medical and lost of income against the assailant too.

benqepson, sometimes you must also know whether you are right or wrong. based on the statement, the TD was switching from the left to the right lane when he unknowingly collided with the motorbike. Meaning, never check blind spot, or die die when switching left to right lane, motorcycle must give way cause td himself thinks he's BIG lo. I believe he dint even on signal, cause when signal most motorist behind surely give way one. Wont want to risk, especially carrying a pillon rider.

In this case, even motorist may be wrong by hitting him, is just lucky he never wack him jialat jialat.

Yes, TD could be wrong, but there is no reason for you to punch him? Accident is part and parcel of life in driving, getting into violence is another issue. TD can still charge him for compensation. There is no reason for you can punch a person. I will take the blame for the accident, pay my $2k or get pork, but I will still charge him for punching me. This is an act of barbarian?? If we allow such young barbarian to behave in such a way, more will follow, end up limpek and many others TD get punched?? Moreover, the fault can be 50/50, now necessary the TD

Yes, TD should make police report and charge the guy for assault. He is doing all TDs a disfavour by not making the police report. Motorists will think they have the right to punch and hit TDs on the roads.

It's an accident. Who right or wrong, let the insurance decide. Not necessarily 100% TD fault as what bowah said. Motorcycle failure to keep a proper lookout.

Singapore law system is fair. Accident is accident. Assault is assault. Dun mix them both. I dun mind pay the excess $2k but I swear anyone touches me will get more than the punch. Do you know I can claimed for free if I am been assaulted and claimed MC for 3 days. This is a privilege of a Singaporean TD. That is why I loved my profession.

getcarter bro, i know what you say is theortically correct but when things happen in real life, you think you should just let law take it's own hands? or you will take it with own hands?

for my case, i experience it before so before throwing out that punch, really makes a person doing the pre-thinking before executing that action. so if you think it's worth while, only at that point of time will determine which outcome you think is best suited, instead of whether right or wrong. im only quoting to examples only. i wont be deliberately stating so clearly in this forum but most ppl just TALK only, but when things happen ...is another kind of story once they assess the situation, and i will say it's psychological answer. if you think that the matter is not that serious, you will definitely let go. But ....

Bo lah, what stir, we need to learn our lesson mah, what I am saying is that given all hard truth present, this cabby should had file charges on the punches, some of these farker police who took your statement will try to sway away the charges so that to make their life easier mah, they will said...Uncle, forget it, just a little anger from a young man, you want to charge him, very troublesome, lots of paper works, attend this and that, and no guarantee win too..
