By now, you may have heard of the unfortunate motorcycle incident at Clementi that took the life of a 22-year-old man.

On 18 April, Ng Jun De was riding his motorcycle when it skidded, causing him to fall off the vehicle at a junction at Clementi Avenue 6.

Based on reports by Shin Min, Ng was travelling home via motorcycle on 18 April when he lost control of his motorcycle and skidded off it.

He sustained severe chest injuries during the accident, and was soon sent to the hospital to undergo emergency treatment.

Ng was the youngest of three sons, and his eldest brother Jonathan Ng spoke with Shin Min regarding the incident.

Jonathan Ng, 30, recalled how the family travelled to the hospital after learning that his youngest brother was in an accident, and that their family was “told to prepare for the worst”.

Unfortunately, Ng did not survive after being sent to a hospital in a coma.

Investigations are currently ongoing.

Ng Was Supposed to Begin Polytechnic Studies in August, Active in Community Work

Ng was supposed to enter polytechnic this year, with his school year commencing in August.

Jonathan Ng, who works in Human Resources, also fondly described his youngest sibling as “a little angel” who was well-liked among friends and family, and also brought up how Ng participated actively in community work as well.

Jonathan also mentioned how around 400 people attended Ng’s wake, a testament to how much people valued him in their lives.

According to Shin Min, their 81-year-old grandmother was also devastated over the passing of her grandson, who she said was incredibly caring and helpful towards others.

She also said that the last time she saw him was on the morning before the accident, and he had greeted her before leaving the house.

Jonathan also posted a heartfelt tribute to his brother, along with a collage of pictures dating back to their childhood and youth.

In the caption, he wrote, “I’m really blessed to be your KorKor (big brother).”

He concluded his post by saying, “Have a good rest now, spread your winds and soar up high, and join our beloved mummy in heaven (do send our love to her too).”
