Video of the recent murder with a Ferrari.

I think this case has done it for me. I'm in opposition ward anyway so I suppose casting my next vote to the opposition is fine.

People always say that this case has nothing to do with the immigration policy. I used to think so as well. But the causal relationship is beginning to show. Case after case of foreigners beating up or killing Singaporeans.

This case is so wrong that I don't know where to start.

The F family showed no remorse for causing the death of Cheng and Ito and all the pregnant wife wanted to know was the identity of the F passenger. This is so fucked up on so many levels.

The Ferrari driver was clearly speeding his way to hell.

Before I go on, I'll clearly state that I'm no lawyer but using commoner's fucking common sense will tell you that the F driver should be more than just dead.

Exceeding speed limit for vehicle/road by more than 60 km/h
-24 demerit points
-Offender will be prosecuted in Court.

Not to mention that he IGNORED the red light. It's not beating the red light when the light in his lane has turned amber for 3 seconds, the "all-red" period for another 3 seconds and probably another 3 seconds for the taxi to travel more than halfway across the junction.

So by our petty traffic law, he has to be prosecuted in court, and not just cremated and pretend everything is merry. His license should be revoked long ago and the law should see his driving as a mockery of the legal system in Singapore.

The driver should be charged with culpable homicide amounting to murder. Again, I'm no lawyer and quoting the statute doesn't make me one. But my blood is boiling and it is hard to keep it in.

Murder
300. Except in the cases hereinafter excepted culpable homicide is murder —
(a)
if the act by which the death is caused is done with the intention of causing death;
(b)
if it is done with the intention of causing such bodily injury as the offender knows to be likely to cause the death of the person to whom the harm is caused;
(c)
if it is done with the intention of causing bodily injury to any person, and the bodily injury intended to be inflicted is sufficient in the ordinary course of nature to cause death; or
(d)
if the person committing the act knows that it is so imminently dangerous that it must in all probability cause death, or such bodily injury as is likely to cause death, and commits such act without any excuse for incurring the risk of causing death, or such injury as aforesaid.

If I could get to that junction and measure the distance, I could at least get a rough estimate of the speed of the Ferrari at the point of impact. Anyone with a sound mind (which I assume a financial investor two-timing with a hostess should be in) will know that speeding at, say 150 km/h on a 50-60km/h speed limit road is fucking bound to kill someone.

This guy should be charged with murder and hanged the proper Singapore way. Suddenly, I'm proud of my country's capital punishment. The dead body should be hanged in the same manner for any cold-blooded murderer before being handed over for any funeral, as if he deserved one.

Perhaps the F family knows this and arranged for the prompt cremation. The least the F family could do is to compensate the Singaporean and Japanese families for their losses, on top of a sum that would allow a reasonable standard of living for Cheng's family for a decade or two. I think the F family is already halfway out of the country though.
