The Straits Times gave more insight to the devastating accident when they
reported that driver Kwek Kon Chun co-owned Neverland Group, which runs several nightspots, including club Sonar at Orchard Hotel,
Neverland II at St James Power Station and Pixie Mansion (formerly
Neverland KL) in the Malaysian capital. The 35-year-old nightlife entrepreneur and avid racer was also the nephew of billionaire
Kwek Leng Beng.

43-year-old Franco Toh, on the other hand, is a Singapore citizen who was born in Hong Kong and Neverland’s regional marketing director.
The 2 had come from the Sepang International Circuit and were driving towards the KL city centre. Hours before the accident, Kwek Kon Chun had been euphoric after winning the Dragtimes2u Supercar Drag Race at Sepang International Circuit. Mr Bae Husairi, one of the race organisers, said Mr Kwek was a regular face in the racing circuit across the border.
“All of us really respected him; he loved cars and loved to race,” said Mr Bae, who is in his 30s.
