Chitchat Yeah... big fark caught on tape, should have driven over him

If I see him with his child , I will stop for him to cross safely to the other side. It is understandable that with the child he is carrying, he is probably hurrying to cross the road. If he is alone, I would fault him for jaywalking.

Most will do the same as you.
But why can't he wait for vehicle to pass first since it is vehicle right of way.

it's a sense of propriety at play here....."can't you give me the right of way as you can see that i'm carrying a child?"
expecting sympathy but at the same time being righteous - and his dad should've taught him that "you can't hold your head high with your hands held out at the same time".
anyway, i think the crux of the matter here is "see" and most of us would've shrugged it off, but if so happens that the driver can't see him, it's a crippled child (at best) that'll haunt him forever.

That man should be arrested for jaywalking. Jaywalking in an offence in Singapore. That fucker must be from China.

I think so too! A jaywalker is a jaywalker regardless of whether he is carrying a child. If he is truly concerned for his personal safety and that of the child, then all the more reason he should not jaywalk. He and the kid could have been killed accidentally.
