The new role
December 4, 2020
I was on my way home after buying dinner at Jurong Point on Tuesday night.
As he prepared to make a U-turn along 63 Jurong West Street at around 6 p.m., he heard a knock from the back.
The driver, who wanted to be known only as Mr. Koh, told The New Paper that when he looked in the rearview mirror, he realized that a motorcycle had hit his car.
Koh, 30, said: “It was the first time in 10 years of driving that I was hit from behind, but I knew I had to take photos as proof.”
He said he got out of his car and claimed he smelled alcohol on the passenger. The driver dismounted and proceeded to clean the paint on his motorcycle that had ended up on Mr. Koh’s car.

No injuries were reported and investigations are ongoing.
