Regular vehicles are biggest killers of Singaporeans on Malaysian roads

According to The Straits Times, fast cars are not the biggest killers of Singaporeans on Malaysian roads. Out of the 28 Singaporeans who died on Malaysian roads in the last five years, only seven involved machines deemed 'fast'. Five of these were motorcycles.

The others involved more sedate vehicles, including three bicycles and five buses.

And at least eight were killed when the vehicle they were in crashed into a road barrier or divider - like how entrepreneur Kwek Kon Chun, 35, and photographer Franco Toh, 43, died last Sunday.

The late Mr. Kwek, the son of Mr. Kwek Leng Keow, managing director of Hong Realty, and nephew of tycoon Kwek Leng Beng, apparently lost control of his Porsche 911 Turbo, just hours after winning a race with the same car in Sepang.

Statistics culled from press reports showed that the two men were the only fatalities involving a Singapore-registered sports car driven in Malaysia since 2010.
