  • Dead Biker’s Dad: No Point Hating Man Who Caused Death

    Dead Biker’s Dad: No Point Hating Man Who Caused Death

    For close to a year, he thought his only son was responsible for the accident that took his life.

    When The New Paper told him that the motorcyclist, who was then 35, was an innocent victim, Mr Liow Chwee Hor broke down.

    The 69-year-old said: “I feel extremely sad and hurt knowing that my son has died for nothing.”

    Mr Liow Yong Seng was killed in a nine-vehicle pile-up in June last year, caused by a motorist who braked abruptly on the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE) to raise both his middle fingers to another motorcyclist.

    The driver, Pang Chon Seng, 52, was sentenced earlier this month to four months’ jail for reckless driving and disqualified from driving for four years.

    Mr Liow still sends text messages to his son’s mobile number regularly in the hope that his son would be able to “read” them.

    Asked if he will forgive Pang for causing the accident that took his son’s life, Mr Liow said it was pointless to hate.

    “I can forgive him or hate him but it will never bring my son back to life.”

    A day before her death, she shared on Facebook how proud she was that her children could go to the market on their own.

    Tragically, the siblings, aged nine and 10, will now have to face the future without their parents.

    Private tutor Maslin Ahmad Basri, 32, and her taxi driver husband, Mr Jumarie Jumahat, 38, died in a motorcycle accident on Saturday (June 13).

    They were travelling on the Pan Island Expressway at about 11pm when their bike was believed to have skidded near the Upper Jurong Exit.

    Mr Jumarie, a motorcycle enthusiast, had been riding his Suzuki Hayabusa, a 1,300cc sports bike, and Madam Maslin was riding pillion.

    They were pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.

    The New Paper understands that no other vehicles were involved in the accident.
