According to Wan Bao the lorry driver is from China. I don't know their licence is genuine one. As I know there are a lot foreigners holding "KOPI" driving licence. For the safety of residents Singapore government should check and verify their licences and test their driving skill before allow them to drive in Singapore especially those from left hand drived countries .
