He was riding home with his girlfriend after picking up some goods for his shop when he suddenly saw a taxi hurtling towards him.
The taxi crashed into his motorcycle and he fell onto the road. The taxi then ran over his right leg and crushed it, leaving him writhing in unbearable pain.
As a result of the accident on July 15 last year, Mr Quek Choon Hock, 61, had to have the lower part of his right leg amputated, and still lives in pain.
He now uses a prosthetic leg and a crutch to get around, but even a short walk can be excruciating.
On Wednesday, the taxi driver, Ishak Ismail, 59, was jailed for two weeks after pleading guilty to one charge of causing grievous hurt by acting negligently as to endanger human life.
He was also disqualified from driving for three years.
But Mr Quek and his girlfriend, Ms Chua Bee Toon, 54, who was also injured in the accident, were still upset with Ishak for putting them in their current situation.
