各位同学老师,
我是出事教授的ECE同事,目前报刊报道的潜台词都是暗指黄教授是过失方。我昨天祭奠他时,受他太太(武汉人,国大M Eng,目前无业,8岁幼子)的委托,务必尽可能帮忙寻找当时目击证人。他们无法认同司机推卸责任的说法。下面是我发给ECE同事的公开信。
我本人昨天亲自在事发地点架车模拟,我也不能完全接受司机的证词。当然,我并非专业调查人员也不愿意因为感情用事而毁掉另外一个家庭。但是,受害者、他的亲属,有权知道事情的真相。
我恳请大家能够读一下我下面的email,并且尽可能的让你的朋友知道。因为26日晚8:30在Clement和CommonWealth West(就是地铁线)的交叉路口,非常大的可能我们自己的学生老师就在96路或者151上面。这条路车水马龙,一定有第三方目击证人。
我的目的不是预设立场说司机一定负完全责任,但是,出于对死者家属的同情和对同事的情谊,我希望能够帮助找到目击证人。
请大家转告大家!非常感谢。
我试过打那个1800电话,多数时间没有人接听,如果需要的话,你也可以直接联系我。

BL’s wife brought up this request when I met her yesterday. I personally went to the site last night at around 8:30pm. I feel that there is no way for the claim “dashed out from the bushes”, because the Zebra Crossing was 5 meters closer to the driver than the bushes.
I tried to drive around and simulated the situation. When you right turn from Clementi to Common Wealth, you will firstly look at the left side (cars waiting since RED light), the front side (where the cars are coming to you), then latest the right side (the accident site).
It is possible that you will need to bit the yellow light to turn right, then you have to speed up (the right turn is very big and you can easily accelerate to 40KM for car). There is a big cement MRT pillar right next to the Zebra Crossing. It is very likely that when you see someone crossing but you don’t have time to break if your speed is too fast (it was drizzling) or the inertia is too big (truck for example). The accident happened in between the 2nd and 3rd lane - BL only had very few meters to get across.
I am not an investigator nor do I want to suggest that the driver is guilty. However, the families requested for a true explanation since now the newspaper reports sound like BL is the party that “doesn’t have the right of the road”.
Please note that the TP did put up the signboard for witness to contact them, but BL’s wife feels that ENG staffs/students might have a higher chance to witness this since it was 8:30pm and it was so close to NUS. So please let us help to pass around the number to our students/staffs, hoping that there was someone witnessing the accident.
If anybody happened to witness the accident, please call 1800-5471818.

I head the police briefing on 27Aug morning in General Hospital on what might possible happend and saw the news on StraitsTime http://straitstimes.asia1.com.sg/Breaking%2BNews/Singapore/Story/STIStory_272763.html and <联合早报> http://www.zaobao.com/sp/sp080828_505.shtml. I also visited the place. Same as his family I could not accept the testimony (e.g., the speed was only 20KM/h, and BL dashed out from the bushes) from the driver. I don't know how many hours the driver has drived that day to gave such statement. Together with the victim’s families, we would like to know the truth. If anybody happened to witness the accident, please call 1800-5471818.
