I read this from one of the mailing lists I join. It says:

“Singapore has one of the worst road-fatality records among developed countries. In 2007, 2.6 deaths were logged for every 10,000 vehicles in Singapore, compared to 0.8 in Japan, 1.2 in Australia and 1.8 in the United States.”

For real. Last week I saw with my own eyes when a city bus hit somebody right at the corner of an intersection in Tampines. The victim was lying on the road. How fast can you drive in traffic lights anyway?

Well, even if you just leave your car in the car park for one whole week, you’d get at least two new dents on it.
