The driver charged in court over the Tampines accident which claimed the lives of a young couple is a repeat offender of driving under disqualification.
Muhammad Zulfiqar Abdul Aziz, 30, was behind the wheel of deregistered car with a cloned number plate when he allegedly caused the fatal accident on Tampines Avenue 12 on Oct 29.
Zulfiqar was convicted of driving under disqualification in November 2021, and again in July 2025, the Straits Times reported.
Citing charge sheets, the report said he is accused of driving despite being under a disqualification order from March 2026 to March 2032.
On Oct 31, he was handed nine charges for traffic offences including dangerous driving causing hurt and failing to stop after an accident.
According to the charge sheet seen by AsiaOne, Zulfiqar allegedly failed to keep proper control of his vehicle during a left bend, causing the vehicle to continue straight into the centre divider, breach the metal railings and enter the opposite lane of traffic.
His vehicle hit a motorcycle and a car travelling straight. The motorcyclist and his wife riding pillion were flung off the bike. They suffered serious injuries and died in hospital.
The car driver was also hurt.
After the accident, Zulfiqar and his 29-year-old female passenger allegedly fled the scene.
They were identified by police and arrested in the vicinity of West Coast Road the next day.
Zulfiqar was not offered bail, according to The Straits Times.

The offence of driving under disqualification carries a fine up to $10,000, or jail term of up to three years, or both.
Repeat offenders face a fine up to $20,000, or jail term up to six years, or both.
