Serangoon JC girl dies after being hit by minibus

[Extremist]

A 17-year-old student from Serangoon Junior College died on Monday (Oct 22) after being hit by a minibus. She had entered a coma which she never came out of after suffering from liver, lung and head injuries.

Vernise Kwa, a first-year student, was on her way to school from Sengkang last Friday (Oct 19) morning at around 8am, when she was hit by a minibus. She had been crossing the stretch of road after Compassvale Bow.

She was then sent to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, where she was operated on three times. Vernise's parents and her 14-year-old brother had spent three days keeping vigil at her bedside.

Further details are of the accident are still unknown, but the bus driver is assisting the police in their investigations. Police are also appealing for information about the accident.

"I don't blame anyone, I just want to know what happened. I just want fairness for her," said her father.

Its so sad to see a flower wither just before it was to bloom.

Sad for the family. It is a truism that such things can happen to anyone. And the chances have increased with more and more drivers, especially of lorries and buses, driving at higher speeds.

Don't you care about Ali's death? Ali less precious that Vernise?

Imho, it's not a case of Ali's life being less precious. For that matter, every human life is precious. It's just that Vernise's is still very young only 17 years old, a student and she is someone closer to our hearts. I feel sad for the bereaved family. May Vernise RIP!

Sengkang is chock full of Tiongs, especially those young families.

There's a good chance the minibus driver is a Tiong.

Again, another reminder to us all that our time here on earth is limited. Use it to the full advantage to make everyone around us and our loved ones happy. Spend time with each other and say out the words we really mean to those we love.

We may never have the chance to say it as it may be taken away at a moments blink. Nor will they ever hear it when the moment comes, before we can do it.

At 40 I've decided I must slow down. I cannot live forever. The people around me are my focus now.

That is a good choice. Human body at 40's is not made to ran at the same pace as in the 20's or 30's.

Take care bro Loofydralb.

May fairness prevail and may she rest in peace.
