This guy is a very slick operator. He is also very close to the PAP but takes great pains to hide the fact. Creates the impression that he is self -made and very civic conscious. Made "independent" presentation to the Constitutional Committee, served as NMP etc. While this was going on, his hospital is notorious for exploiting and abusing foreign workers who can't help themselves including 1 day MC for fracture. Not isolated cases mind you. Why bother about being civic conscious and concern about Singapore when his own enterprise is screwing people. His brother was even worse. Fruits from the same tree.

He had been doing that since early Raffles Medical Group days. He would stay upstairs 2nd floor doing billing to the companies while his doctor would see patients downstairs. At the end of the day he would come down and tell the doctor he made more money doing billing than him seeing patients.

Does not surprise me one bit. Reminds of our Anal doctor, the son of Punggol who targeted Indonesians for his Mt Elizabeth practice by having a dedicated Bahasa Indonesian website. Suddenly he is clearing drains in the heartland.

You could write a thick book on Fatty Loo. So much material. And it would be a runaway best seller. The best part is that local law enforcement had no clue what was going on. The ex-wife was a very nice lady and very professional.

In China, video of deadly road accident reignites debate over social cohesion


BEIJING (NYTIMES) - An agonising traffic accident caught on surveillance cameras has reignited a debate in China about a lack of values and trust in society.

The episode took place on April 21 in Zhumadian, a city in the central province of Henan. The graphic video, which was posted online on Wednesday, shows a woman trying to cross a street on a crosswalk during what appears to be a red light for pedestrians.

After crossing two lanes, she is struck by a taxi and tossed in the air before landing on the ground. Then the light turns green for pedestrians. People walk by but do not help, nor do the drivers who were stopped at the light. The woman lifts her head, but the traffic resumes and she is soon run over by an SUV. She later died from her injuries.

"If this case was only about the first driver running away after hitting the victim, it would just be a normal traffic accident," said Zhang Xuebing, a lawyer and a former law professor at the East China University of Political Science and Law in Shanghai. "But the reason it's stirred up a heated discussion is because many onlookers on site didn't help the victim."

The original video has been viewed 30 million times. On Weibo, China's Twitter-like social media site, the original post has been shared 70,000 times and attracted 80,000 comments.

On a report on the video by China News, a user called Zhuwu left this comment: "It is not the onlookers but society that is coldblooded."


Some say the problem is a legal one. In 2006, a man in Nanjing who helped an injured woman get to a hospital was held financially responsible for her treatment on the grounds that he would only have helped if he were responsible. In addition, many Chinese are wary of helping because of numerous scams where people purport to be victims of an injury in order to extract compensation.

"In the aftermath of the Nanjing case, many Chinese worry about the victims turning around to blame the helpers, and thus feel unable to offer direct help," Dali Yang, a political scientist at the University of Chicago who has written about the lack of social trust in China, said in an interview.

That was the view of one poster named Ranmo: "If I helped her to get up and sent her to the hospital, doctors would ask you to pay the medical bill. Her relatives would come and beat you up indiscriminately. Traffic police would then ask you to submit the data in your automobile data recorder and write up your witness account. It would go on till the next morning. Then the relatives would casually say 'Sorry and thank you' and then you could finally go home, exhausted, and deal with the blood on the back seat of your car. Am I stupid?"

But many people reacted differently. Police said that more than a dozen people had called the emergency rescue number, and some had offered help to the victim's family. Police also announced this week after the public outcry that the two drivers of the vehicles that hit the woman had been found. Police added that compensation had been paid to the victim's family, but it was unclear who paid it.

A common concern is that society lacks a moral compass. Some commenters on Weibo noted that onlookers could have saved the woman simply by stopping traffic. The Weibo user Jillna Chen wrote: "If someone went to halt the traffic and called the police - didn't even have to help her get up - she wouldn't have died. If one can leave a society that is this coldhearted, that may not be a bad thing."

Concern about the state of morality is reinforced by the frequency of these reports. Last year, a woman was stuffed into the trunk of a car and apparently kidnapped while bystanders did nothing. Also last year, a woman was slashed in an alley, and no witnesses offered help.

The case that arguably started the discussion took place in 2011, when a 2-year-old girl was hit by two vans and pedestrians simply walked by. Ultimately, the girl was carried to the side of a road by a street sweeper - a person often seen as at the lowest rungs of society - which further added to the nation's anguish. The girl died a week later in the hospital.

I agree society is at fault. They should fix their basic problems rather than help Pakistan and the 3rd world idiots with their belt and road nonsense.

After watching the video of how the vendor did his trick, I must say that Mr Chow could have had his eye hit, and that could be even more debilitating. The bill will definitely be 10 x more!

Man gets $4,000 medical bill after accident with Geylang Serai ice cream vendor, appeals for video evidence
June 9, 2017
He hopes to claim from the vendor's insurance.

Mandy How

A man is appealing for eyewitnesses and visual evidence of an accident that left him with a 4cm gash on his forehead from a vendor at the Geylang Serai Bazaar.

Facebook user Derick Chow says he was swiped in the head by a stick used by a Turkish ice cream vendor, while the latter was performing a prank before serving the ice cream to him.

According to The Straits Times, the incident occurred on the night of Jun. 2, when Chow was visiting the bazaar with his girlfriend.

The couple decided to stop for some Turkish ice cream, and they were presumably watching the vendor perform the ice cream prank at close quarters due to the crowd at the bazaar.

For those who are not familiar with the dessert, Turkish ice-cream (or dondurma) is commonly served with the scoop being first placed at the edge of a metal stick before being twirled around in the air out of the customer’s reach. The ice cream server often plays pranks on his customers as part of the trick, before finally placing the scoop into a cone or cup to hand to them.

In this case, the ice cream chef had pranked Chow’s girlfriend before turning to him. But when Chow reached out for the ice cream, the impact from the metal stick accidentally hitting him resulted in a deep cut.

ST reports that Chow then took a taxi to Raffles Hospital, where he received 20 stitches and a $4,000 bill.

He is reportedly planning to claim the bill from the stall’s insurance, but as part of negotiations, the vendor requested video footage of the incident.

A police report was also reportedly made from the accident, but Chow hopes that some of the people he says were taking videos of the ice cream man’s performance will come forward to share footage with him.

All that said, Chow stated in the comments of his post that the ice-cream vendor is a “nice guy,” and that the ice-cream tasted “really good”.

look at the big picture. no smoke without fire. In china it is not uncommon for good samaritans to get sued instead when they helped out. in fact the courts and judges are equally screwed. in one case the bastard victim sued her rescuer and harrassed him so much the good samaritan committed suicide. the judge in fact said the good smaritan was resposible for the victim "hit and run " injuries as the reasoning was "if he is innocent why did he stop to help?" really warped logic. singapore is becoming like taht. if you volunteer or help out, and anything goes wrong, people would sue the volunteer or good samaritans for monetary gains. taht's why I stop being charitable and also stop giving lifts to friends or starngers. the society asked for it.
in the above case the idiotic women was also respnosible for her own injuries. if you look at teh video closely she was looking down(??at her phone or whhat crap) for a long time and ignoring her surroundings at the busy zebra crossing. idiots like her deserved to be knocked down
