On May 9, 2026, a tragic accident occurred in Johor, Malaysia, involving a Singapore-registered Ferrari 458 Italia.
The driver, **Yeo Tian Wen Leong** (34), and his passenger, **Ng Puay Ying** (33), both passed away after the vehicle skidded and caught fire on the Jalan Johor Baru-Mersing highway.
Regarding the family business:
### Business Background
Yeo Tian Wen Leong was a member of the family behind **Yeo Hiap Seng (YHS)**, the iconic Singaporean food and beverage company known worldwide for its drinks (like chrysanthemum tea and soy milk) and canned foods.
* **Family Connection:**
He was a descendant of the Yeo family that founded the business. Specifically, he was often identified in social and business circles as being part of the fourth generation of the Yeo Hiap Seng lineage.
* **The Business:**
While the Yeo family started and grew Yeo Hiap Seng into a global brand, control of the public-listed company shifted in the mid-1990s to Ng Teng Fong’s Far East Organization.
However, members of the Yeo family have continued to be involved in various other private business ventures, investment firms, and philanthropic efforts in Singapore.
### The Incident
* **The Convoy:** The couple was part of a large convoy of more than 30 supercars organized by the **Ferrari Owners' Club Singapore**.
* **The Location:** The crash happened at the 57.5km mark of the highway near Kota Tinggi at approximately 9:00 AM.
* **Status:** Malaysian authorities are currently investigating the cause of the accident under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.
The passing of a member of such a prominent Singaporean business family has drawn significant attention and condolences from both the motoring community and the public.
