The tragic death of a young father-to-be after an accident at Gambas Ave on Apr. 10 saw an outpouring of emotions and support on social media.
Jason Tan, 24, a food delivery rider, was trying to complete 13 more orders that day to earn an incentive.
Everyone is talking about the super 4 rider who passed on at Gambas Avenue. Yes i do feel sad for the family lost, the unborn child. My condolences. What about the R15 rider who was conveyed to hospital. All i see in every news is 20 years old man conveyed to hospital conscious. Nothing else about him not even his name. Did anyone even asked what happened to him? He was so at the wrong place and wrong time. Yes he did not have a wife nor an unborn child. Let me pour my heart out. Muhammad Alif just had his birthday the day before. He comes from a sibling of 5. He is a nurse. Witness of the accident told us when he arrived nobody attended to him and he was all alone on the road till this two kind soul came to help. We even viewed the view cam. Even in such pain all he keep on mentioning is he wants to stand up and help the other rider. Paramedic took 25mins to arrive to render help. Upon reaching hospital, doctor say he only have a 50-50 chances of survival as he has really bad internal bleeding, crushed left pelvic, broken ribs, broken wrist, a hole in his left elbow, lots of laceration n a torn lips. He was warded in ICU. He has went through 3 major surgery so far and many more to go.
Another motorcyclist was involved in the accident too.
Sarah Widjaya, the mother of the 20-year-old rider, has since come forward with a heartbreaking account of the state the accident has left her son in.
Witnesses apparently told Sarah that on the day of the accident, nobody attended to her son, Muhammad Alif initially, and he was left alone until two passers-by rushed to help.
Viewing dashcam footage of the scene, Sarah said that "even in such pain all he keep on mentioning is he wants to stand up and help the other rider".
After being conveyed conscious to the hospital, doctors initially gave Alif a sombre 50-50 chance of survival.
It was revealed that he had suffered a multitude of injuries — internal bleeding, a crushed left pelvis, broken ribs, a broken wrist, lacerations and torn lips, according to Sarah.
