SINGAPORE – A 38-year-old man was arrested for drink driving and driving without due care and attention causing death after a hit-and-run accident outside Suntec City Convention Centre on July 16.<\/p>\n
The accident involved a 43-year-old pedestrian and a car on 1 Raffles Boulevard, with the police and the Singapore Civil Defence Force alerted at about 12.40am.<\/p>\n
The driver left the scene before the police arrived, while the pedestrian was unconscious when taken to Tan Tock Seng Hospital, where he died.<\/p>\n
The man was subsequently arrested and is also assisting with investigations for failing to stop after an accident, said the police.<\/p>\n
DJDH Ramen, a restaurant in East Coast Road, in a Facebook post on July 17 identified the victim as Dan Xiao TingFeng, one of its shareholders.<\/p>\n
It said it was heartbroken by his death and that he was deeply loved.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis family, partner, children, friends and everyone whose life he touched deserve the truth, accountability and justice,\u201d said DJDH Ramen in the Facebook post.<\/p>\n
The restaurant also shared a Facebook post from a person describing himself as Xiao\u2019s friend, Liang Jun Ming, who shared more details about the incident.<\/p>\n
In his own post, Liang said Xiao had booked a ride to go home at 12.11am on July 16 but never made it back.<\/p>\n
At 12.40am, a passer-by found Xiao seriously injured near a lamp post and alerted emergency services.<\/p>\n
Xiao was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead at around 1.40am after doctors tried to resuscitate him for about 40 minutes, according to his Facebook post.<\/p>\n
The post also appealed to the public for witnesses and recordings to establish the sequence of events.<\/p>\n
Speaking to The Straits Times, Liang, 38, said he met Xiao more than 10 years ago when Xiao\u2019s girlfriend ran a bistro.<\/p>\n
After that, they made it a point to go on at least one trip together each year and spend festive occasions together.<\/p>\n
Liang, a financial planner, said Xiao could speak to anyone and would also take the time to listen to them.<\/p>\n
He learnt about the accident the same day it happened through a mutual friend, but said there is still a lot of uncertainty as to what happened that night.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not a very secluded area. There would have been people that have been around, and possible eyewitnesses.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are seeking information and the truth, to really understand what happened,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
