Over S$354,000 raised for six-year-old orphaned in Singapore hit-and-run that killed his parents

SINGAPORE, Nov 1 — More than S$354,000 (RM1.12 million) has been raised for a six-year-old boy who lost both parents in a fatal hit-and-run crash in Singapore.

The boy’s parents, both 24, died after a car struck their motorcycle and another vehicle along Tampines Avenue 12 on October 29 before fleeing the scene.

His mother was reportedly one month pregnant at the time.

According to Mothership , a fundraising campaign launched by the boy’s father’s cousin had collected S$354,093 as of 3pm today, with donations intended to help secure his future.

The tragedy carries a particularly heartbreaking family history.

The boy’s father had himself lost his biological father in 2009, when he was just eight years old, and was subsequently adopted by relatives. His biological mother died in 2022.

Now, his own son faces growing up without either parent.

In an emotional appeal accompanying the Give.Asia fundraiser, the cousin described the deceased man as someone she had always regarded “as my little brother”.

“I watched him grow up right before my eyes, and he has been part of our family for as long as I can remember,” she wrote.

The young couple had been looking forward to building a future together and were planning to apply for a Build-to-Order (BTO) flat before their lives were cut short.

Instead, their son has been left to face a future without them.

The fundraising campaign aims to provide financial support for his daily living expenses, education, healthcare and other necessities as he grows older.

The cousin acknowledged that financial assistance could never make up for the devastating loss of his parents.

“No amount of money can replace the love of a mother and father,” she wrote.

But she expressed hope that the generosity of relatives, friends and members of the public would help give the boy the stability and opportunities his parents would have wanted for him.

A 30-year-old man has since been charged with nine offences in connection with the crash, including dangerous driving causing death.

A gag order imposed on October 31 prohibits the publication of the victims’ identities, photographs and other identifying details.

For the boy’s grieving relatives, the immediate priority is ensuring he receives the care and support he needs in the years ahead.

“He has lost his parents, but he still has family who love him, and a community that can come together to look after his future,” the cousin wrote.

新加坡，11月1日讯——一名六岁男孩在新加坡一起致命的肇事逃逸事故中失去了双亲，目前已筹集到超过35.4万新元（112万令吉）的善款。

10 月 29 日，这名男孩的父母（均为 24 岁）在淡滨尼 12 道上遭遇车祸身亡，一辆汽车撞上了他们的摩托车和另一辆车，肇事司机随后逃离现场。

据报道，他母亲当时已怀孕一个月。

据 Mothership 报道，截至今天下午 3 点，男孩父亲的表弟发起的筹款活动已筹集到 354,093 新元，捐款旨在帮助保障他的未来。

这场悲剧背后有着一段令人心碎的家族史。

男孩的父亲本人在2009年失去了生父，当时他只有八岁，之后被亲戚收养。他的生母于2022年去世。

现在，他的儿子将面临在没有父母陪伴下长大的境地。

在 Give.Asia 筹款活动中，这位表妹发表了一篇充满感情的呼吁，称这位已故男子是她一直视为“我的弟弟”的人。

“我亲眼看着他长大，在我记忆中，他一直是我们家的一份子，”她写道。

这对年轻夫妇一直期待着共同建设未来，并计划在生命戛然而止之前申请一套预购组屋（BTO）。

相反，他们的儿子却要面对没有父母的未来。

此次筹款活动旨在为他提供经济支持，以满足他晚年生活中的日常开支、教育、医疗保健和其他必需品的需求。

这位表兄承认，经济援助永远无法弥补失去父母带来的巨大打击。

她写道：“再多的金钱也无法取代父母的爱。”

但她表示希望亲戚、朋友和公众的慷慨解囊能够帮助这个男孩获得他的父母希望他拥有的稳定生活和机会。

一名 30 岁男子已被指控与这起车祸有关的九项罪名，其中包括危险驾驶致人死亡。

10 月 31 日颁布的禁言令禁止公布受害者的身份、照片和其他身份信息。

对于悲痛欲绝的男孩亲属来说，眼下最重要的是确保他在未来几年里得到所需的照顾和支持。

“他失去了双亲，但他仍然有爱他的家人，还有一个社区可以团结起来照顾他的未来，”这位表亲写道。
