Shocking Ferrari accident in Singapore

Friend over there just sent me this, really shocking to see on my old home turf. Was just there in April, noticed the huge increase in exotics there, mostly driven by young PRC 'businessmen' flaunting their wealth & driving like ***-wipes on busy city streets.
This time an innocent taxi driver, taxi passenger & motobike rider paid the price of his running a red at 120mph, thankfully the ferrari driver died too...

Damn... That's brutal. Did anybody else notice the car in the far right lane actually stopped before the cop? Why wasn't his first instinct to hit the brakes and bail to try to help any injured parties? Isn't it better to leave the cruiser blocking traffic then leave somebody hurt on the side of the road while you pull over? I'm not trying to stir ish up I'm just asking if any LEO's know SOP for something like that.

I think I'm going to take my time today when I'm crossing an intersection.

What a total douche driver.

Too sad ... I always look both ways multiple time before and during crossing an intersection. It's one of my worst fear getting in a crash like that from some worthless turd driving stupid.

This makes me really angry. I'm originally from HK and over the past few years there's been a high influx of PRC expats believing that money allows them to do whatever they want. I'm aware that the situation in Singapore is not all that different. Here's a link that a friend of mine from Singapore showed me.

Looks like the perfect opportunity to file a law suite then. Who's up for it?

That the PRC is so-called culmination of 5,000 years of Chinese culture is heartbreaking to me. Mao was the most despicable, evil Chinese person who ever lived, and his bull**** Cultural Revolution destroyed traditional Chinese values and culture.

In mainland China there's no traffic laws to speak of. It's no wonder they still drive like **** when they go to other countries.
