MALAYSIAN police are looking for a Bangladeshi worker, who is believed to be behind the wheel of a car which rammed into a Singaporean man, killing him instantly.
The Bangladeshi was an employee of SK Car Wash Centre in Jalan Tombak, a 15-minute drive into Johor Bahru from the Causeway.
Last Saturday night, accountant Seow Wei Hua, 31, had driven his car into the car wash. He was sitting on a sofa in the centre when a Singapore-registered Toyota Camry, driven by the Bangladeshi worker, reversed into him. The Camry belongs to a Singaporean who had, after leaving it at the car wash, gone off for a meal nearby.
The Straits Times understands that the Bangladeshi had wanted to reverse the Camry into a lot near the sofa, but overstepped on the accelerator. The car rammed into Mr Seow, crushing him. The worker, on seeing what he had done, fled the scene immediately on foot.
Speaking to The Straits Times at her son's wake in Bukit Batok West on Monday, Madam Loh, 57, a housewife, said she had just returned from visiting relatives in Johor Bahru that same night when she got a call saying that her son had met with an accident.
Unable to find a cab willing to drive into Malaysia at midnight, she together with her daughter and son-in-law, had to hitch a ride with a delivery van driver to get into Malaysia. She said that her son often went to Johor Bahru with friends to eat and shop. At times he would also drive in to wash, polish and pump petrol for his car.
