A hit-and-run motorist was charged in a district court on Monday with causing the death of a pillion rider while driving rashly and under a driving ban.

 

Ho Chee Wei, 27, faces a total of 12 charges including five for possession of drugs and utensils.

 

He allegedly caused the death of pillion rider Chong Ying Ying, 23, by committing a rash act along Pan-Island Expressway on April 19 last year by speeding at 100 to 120kmh and failing to keep a proper lookout for motorcyclist Darren Loh Chen Sing, also 23.

 

He is accused of causing grievous hurt to Mr Loh who was flung off the motorbike together with Ms Chong when the car crashed into their motorbike.

Put back the 30% downpayment for cars and max 70% loan and it will drop by 90%

Totally agree. So what if cars are expensive now, people just take loan for a longer period. Cars are still affordable to many. I still believe that there should be a cap to the max loan that one can take for a car purchase, just like HDB's housing loan policy

Will prob weed out young buyers impulsive to own a car, reduce car demand, lower COE, reduce congestion, lower parking costs etc. But will tax the over-loaded MRT as well then..
