No action against FT cyclist who knocked down an auntie

According to a post on Hardware Zone, a local Singaporean auntie was reportedly knocked down by a Caucasian cyclist, but the police who were called in took no action against the cyclist.
A forumer going by the moniker of “harrymonster” claims that his parents were walking along a small road at a reservoir when a Caucasian cyclist knocked into his mother from behind and caused her to fall and broke her two front teeth.
The Caucasian cyclist then offered to pay for part of the (medical) cost, but insisted that he was not fully liable for the accident.
Fuming at the cyclist’s denial of liability, “harrymonster” wrote:
The police arrived at the scene some time later and recorded statements from both the cyclist and his parents. However, when queried by his sister who was at the scene, the police reportedly said that they will record the statements and particulars and thats that, nothing more.

How on earth does a cyclist collide into a pedestrain from behind on a wide and straight road? Not fully liable? I really doubt my mom was in the wrong for walking down a road. Her teeth were broken at the base, still in the gum but were pushed back at an angle. The hospital had to push the broken teeth back to a normal angle, let it stablise a bit first before re-evaluating the situation in a weeks time. Can you imagine the pain?
Unable to accept the cyclist’s proposal, the police was called in for assistance along with an ambulance to tend to his mother’s injuries.

Called the police and ambulance down. Police took down statements from the cyclist and my parents. My sis was present, and was asking the police how will they handle the situation. Police said that they will record the statements and particulars and thats that. Nothing more.
Ending his post, “harrymonster” asked if anyone has similar experience and sought advise on possible course of action to take (if any).
