SINGAPORE: A man was sentenced on Wednesday to one week's jail and fined S$1,000 for failing to keep a proper lookout while driving, resulting in the death of a five-year-old girl in 2009. Zhao Linqian was on her way to Punggol Plaza on 1 December 2009 for her evening piano lesson when a speeding car driven by Tijan Syafiq bin Selamat fatally knocked her down. The accident threw the girl more than 40 metres away, along Punggol Field Road. On that day, the girl and her grandfather were standing at the road kerb waiting to cross the road. The court heard Tijan Syafiq's illegally-modified car was approaching at more than 70 kilometres per hour, above the speed limit of 50km/hr. The girl then suddenly let go of her grandfather's hand and started crossing the two-lane road. Her grandfather was unable to stop her in time. Tijan Syafiq's car knocked into her the moment she stepped onto the right lane. Investigation revealed the 29-year-old driver had not only failed to keep a proper lookout while driving, but had also suddenly accelerated prior to the accident. Deputy Public Prosecutor Toh Puay San noted that the girl, with her light-coloured clothing, would have been visible even at her height of 1.02 metres, if Tijan Syafiq had kept a proper lookout. Tijan Syafiq, who has a two-year-old son and whose wife is pregnant, will also have his licence revoked for five years. He is also said to be suffering from "recurrent nightmares" of the incident, according to a psychiatric report. - CNA/wk/sf Wished he had modded the brakes instead, maybe the tragedy might have been avoided.

So sad but true. One of my favourite car brands will be no more. Lets take a minute of silence to think of one of the most interesthing car makers ever. GM announces sale with Spyker will not be finalized, Saab will be wound down in an orderly fashion.. Saab Sale Cannot Be Concluded Brand to be Wound Down Detroit. General Motors announced today that the intended sale of Saab Automobile AB would not be concluded. After the withdrawal of Koenigsegg Group AB last month, GM had been in discussions with Spyker Cars about its interest in acquiring Saab. During the due diligence, certain issues arose that both parties believe could not be resolved. As a result, GM will start an orderly wind-down of Saab operations. "Despite the best efforts of all involved, it has become very clear that the due diligence required to complete this complex transaction could not be executed in a reasonable time. In order to maintain operations, Saab needed a quick resolution," said GM Europe President Nick Reilly. "We regret that we were not able to complete this transaction with Spyker Cars. We will work closely with the Saab organization to wind down the business in an orderly and responsible manner. This is not a bankruptcy or forced liquidation process. Consequently, we expect Saab to satisfy debts including supplier payments, and to wind down production and the distribution channel in an orderly manner while looking after our customers." Saab will continue to honor warranties, while providing service and spare parts to current Saab owners around the world. As part of its efforts to become a leaner organization, GM began seeking a buyer for Saab's operations in January. Last week, Saab Automobile AB announced that it had closed on the sale of certain Saab 9-3, current 9-5 and powertrain technology and tooling to Beijing Automotive Industry Holdings Co. Ltd. (BAIC). GM expects today's announcement to have no impact on the earlier sale. As the company continues to reinvent itself, GM has been faced with some very difficult but necessary business decisions. The focus will remain on the four core brands - Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC - and several regional brands, including Opel / Vauxhall in Europe. This will enable the company to devote more engineering and marketing resources to each brand and model.
