After his car became involved in a collision in Sentosa in January 2024, a Singaporean man began filming the other driver while shouting at him and his family.

Thereafter, the man, Foong Theen Heng, then 58, intentionally lunged his body forward to make contact with the other car as it was moving off.

​

Foong then threw himself onto the road in front of the other car as though the driver, surnamed Soh, had driven the car and hit him.

Eventually, Soh left the scene by driving his car around the accused, while Foong helped himself up off the road without assistance.

Foong also uploaded the video he had taken to social media, which subsequently went viral, reported Shin Min Daily News.

​

What happened​

According to court documents seen by Mothership, the incident took place on Jan. 28, 2024.

At around 9:30 am, Soh was driving to a family event in Sentosa along lane 4 of the four-lane Telok Blangah Road towards Sentosa Gateway.

Foong, who was driving along lane 3, subsequently entered lane 4 in front of Soh's car abruptly without any signals.

As a result, Soh had to brake his car hastily to prevent a collision.

​

Later on, both cars entered Sentosa Gateway and began travelling along lane 2 of the four-lane road, with Foong's car ahead of Soh's.

Although there were no vehicles in front of Foong and no need to apply the brakes, Foong did so abruptly, forcing Soh to follow suit hastily to avoid a collision.

Soh & Foong retaliated against each other​

Soh then overtook Foong's car from lane 1 of Sentosa Gateway.

​

He followed this up by cutting into lane 2 in front of Foong's car without any signals, before abruptly applying the brakes to his car, even though there were no vehicles in front of him and no need to do so.

As a result, Foong braked hastily to avoid a collision.

In response, Foong overtook Soh's car from the left and abruptly entered the lane that Soh was driving on.

He then began applying the brakes to his car intermittently, even though there were no vehicles in front of him and there was no need to do so.

​

Caused collision​

According to court documents, the retaliation eventually led to a low-speed collision between the two vehicles.

As a result, Soh's car sustained dents and scratches at the front, while Foong's car sustained damage to its rear bumper.

Neither the drivers nor Soh's family members, who were travelling with Soh, were injured in the incident.

Foong pretended to be hit by Soh​

After the collision, Foong and Soh alighted from their vehicles, with Soh taking pictures of both cars to facilitate an insurance claim.

​

Concurrently, Foong began confronting Soh and his family, filming them, and shouting at them.

When Soh had finished taking pictures, he tried to board his car to drive off.

However, Foong obstructed Soh by repeatedly opening his car door, standing in front of Soh's car on Sentosa Gateway, and intentionally lunging his body forward to make contact with Soh's car as it was moving off.

Foong then threw himself onto the road in front of Soh's car and continued lying on the road.

​

At the same time, he shouted "he hit me" and "how can he hit me" in English and Hokkien in an attempt to draw the attention of passersby.

As a result, Foong obstructed traffic on Sentosa Gateway, as cars behind had to stop and could not drive off.

The encounter came to an end after Soh drove off and lodged a police report at around 1 pm that day.

Pleaded guilty​

On Apr. 23, 2025, Foong, now 59, was charged with one count of creating a public nuisance, one count of violating the Road Traffic Act, and one count of violating the Road Traffic (Pedestrian Crossings) Rules.

​

On Dec. 29, he pleaded guilty to two of the charges, with the remaining charge taken into consideration for his sentencing.

In the prosecution's sentencing position, the prosecution called Foong's video an attempt to "portray himself as the victim" and "served little purpose other than a vain attempt to vilify Soh."

"Had the accused genuinely believed that Soh committed an offence against him, the proper course of action would have been to file a police report, which he did not do," added the prosecution.

​

Foong will return to court for his sentencing on Feb. 24, 2026, reported Shin Min.
