Give.Asia reviewed the organiser's identity documents before approving the campaign.

The family plans to set up a dedicated account for the boy’s care, education and healthcare.

The crash killed the married couple on Oct 29 and left another driver injured.

SINGAPORE - In five days, almost half a million dollars has been raised for the six-year-old son of the couple killed in the Tampines crash on Oct 29.

A woman who said she was a relative of the boy’s father had provided a QR code to her personal bank account on her Instagram page for those who wished to donate to the boy.

Several netizens questioned if this was a legitimate fundraising drive and if the money would indeed benefit the now orphaned child.

On Nov 4, crowdfunding platform Give.Asia said the relative had approached them to set up a fundraising campaign and it is working with the family to properly disburse the amount to the boy until he is older.

On Oct 29, the married couple on a motorcycle were travelling along Tampines Avenue 12 at around 10.35pm when a blue Audi slammed into them, killing them both.

The couple, both 24, have a six-year-old son and his mother , who was riding pillion, was pregnant.

On Nov 2, the relative said she had shared the QR code publicly because friends and family members wanted to contribute financially to help the boy. But soon, the public also transferred money to the account, which attracted some criticism.

Some netizens wondered if the woman was indeed a relative, if the fundraiser was a scam, and if the money would actually go to the boy.

Calling it a misunderstanding on her Instagram account, the relative said each donation received via QR code had been documented on an Excel sheet to ensure transparency.

She added that the public QR code had expired.

Efforts by ST to contact her were unsuccessful. The amount collected via PayNow has not been disclosed.

On Nov 4, in response to ST’s queries, Give.Asia said they were grateful to all donors for their support. About $480,000 had been raised from almost 12,000 donors, so far .

It added the relative wished to set up the campaign due to the overwhelming response from the public.

Give.Asia said its team reviewed her identification documents and the couple’s death certificates before approving the campaign for fundraising.

It said: “We recognised that the family was navigating an extraordinarily difficult period, and that formal arrangements concerning the child’s guardianship and long-term care would understandably take time.”

Give.Asia said the concerns by the public were important in ensuring that every dollar raised contributes to the child’s welfare and future.

It said: “We also acknowledge that separate personal PayNow QR codes have circulated in connection with efforts to help the family. These are independent of the Give.Asia campaign, and our platform’s verification and disbursement safeguards apply specifically to donations collected through our official channels.”

Give.Asia said the family plans to set up a dedicated bank account in the child’s name, with the funds reserved for his upbringing, education, healthcare and long-term financial security.

To ensure this, Give.Asia said it is willing to facilitate a long-term arrangement with the boy’s family and relevant parties to manage the donations.

It said: “Depending on the family’s wishes and the applicable legal requirements, this could include exploring appropriate account structures, trusteeship arrangements or other safeguards that would help ensure the funds remain available for the child’s needs as he grows older.”

But the money remains untouched until legal processes are completed, Give.Asia said.

It added : “As the legal guardianship process is still ongoing, Give.Asia will continue to safeguard donations collected through our platform. Disbursement will take place only after the necessary legal authority and banking arrangements have been verified and approved. There is no fixed disbursement date at this stage, as the appropriate arrangements must first be established.”

According to the listing on the platform, the fundraising campaign is expected to close on Nov 12.

The driver of the blue Audi, Muhammad Zulfiqar Abdul Aziz, 30, was handed nine charges over the accident.

They included for dangerous driving causing death, dangerous driving causing hurt, and using a deregistered vehicle.

He was driving despite being under a six-year driving disqualification from March 2026 to March 2032.

The Audi had also slammed into another car. The 25-year-old female driver did not suffer any serious physical injuries but is seeking psychiatric treatment.

She had been driving her father’s car, which was so badly damaged it had to be scrapped.

Give.Asia said no amount of money can replace the love of the boy’s parents and added: “We believe the most important next step is not simply to raise more funds, but to ensure that the generosity already shown can make a meaningful difference in the years ahead.

“This requires cooperation, patience and a shared commitment to doing what is best for the child.”

11 月 1 日，在淡滨尼 12 道发生的一起多车相撞事故现场，公众留下了鲜花和慰问品。10 月 29 日，一名摩托车骑手和他的怀孕妻子不幸身亡。

Give.Asia 在批准该活动前审核了组织者的身份证明文件。

这家人计划设立一个专门账户，用于男孩的照料、教育和医疗保健。

10月29日发生的这起车祸导致这对夫妇丧生，另一名司机受伤。

新加坡——短短五天内，人们就为10月29日在淡滨尼车祸中丧生的夫妇的六岁儿子筹集了近50万美元。

一位自称是男孩父亲亲戚的女子在她的 Instagram 页面上提供了一个指向她个人银行账户的二维码，供那些想给男孩捐款的人使用。

一些网友质疑这是否是一项合法的筹款活动，以及这些钱是否真的能帮助到现在的孤儿。

11月4日，众筹平台Give.Asia表示，孩子的亲属联系他们发起筹款活动，他们正在与孩子家人合作，将筹款款项妥善发放给孩子，直到他长大成人。

10 月 29 日晚上 10 点 35 分左右，这对夫妇骑着摩托车沿淡滨尼 12 道行驶时，一辆蓝色奥迪撞上了他们，两人当场死亡。

这对夫妇都24岁，有一个6岁的儿子，孩子的母亲当时坐在摩托车后座，已经怀孕了。

11月2日，这位亲属表示，她之所以公开分享二维码，是因为亲朋好友想要捐款帮助这个男孩。但很快，公众也开始向该账户转账，这引发了一些批评。

一些网友质疑这名女子是否真的是男孩的亲戚，筹款活动是否是骗局，以及这些钱是否真的会送到男孩手中。

这位亲属在她的 Instagram 账号上称这是一场误会，并表示通过二维码收到的每一笔捐款都已记录在 Excel 表格中，以确保透明度。

她补充说，公开的二维码已经过期了。

《海峡时报》多次尝试联系她，但均未成功。通过PayNow收取的款项金额尚未公开。

11月4日，Give.Asia在回复《海峡时报》的询问时表示，他们感谢所有捐赠者的支持。截至目前，他们已从近12000名捐赠者那里筹集了约48万美元。

声明还补充说，由于公众反响热烈，这位亲属希望发起这项活动。

Give.Asia 表示，其团队在批准该筹款活动之前，审查了她的身份证明文件和这对夫妇的死亡证明。

声明中说：“我们意识到这个家庭正经历一段极其艰难的时期，有关孩子监护权和长期照护的正式安排自然需要时间。”

Give.Asia表示，公众的关注对于确保筹集到的每一美元都能用于儿童的福利和未来至关重要。

声明中还提到：“我们也注意到，一些个人PayNow二维码在帮助该家庭的过程中被传播。这些二维码与Give.Asia的活动无关，我们平台的验证和支付保障措施专门针对通过我们官方渠道募集的捐款。”

Give.Asia 表示，该家庭计划以孩子的名义开设一个专门的银行账户，账户中的资金将用于孩子的抚养、教育、医疗保健和长期财务保障。

为确保这一点，Give.Asia表示愿意促成与男孩家人及相关各方达成长期安排，以管理捐款。

声明称：“根据家庭的意愿和适用的法律要求，这可能包括探讨适当的账户结构、信托安排或其他保障措施，以确保资金在孩子长大后仍可用于满足其需求。”

Give.Asia表示，在法律程序完成之前，这笔资金不会被动用。

声明补充道：“由于监护权程序仍在进行中，Give.Asia将继续保障通过我们平台募集的捐款安全。只有在必要的法律授权和银行安排得到核实和批准后，才会进行款项发放。目前尚无固定的发放日期，因为必须首先建立相应的安排。”

根据平台上的信息，此次筹款活动预计将于11月12日结束。

蓝色奥迪车的司机，30岁的穆罕默德·祖尔菲卡尔·阿卜杜勒·阿齐兹，因这起事故被控九项罪名。

其中包括危险驾驶致人死亡、危险驾驶致人受伤以及使用已注销车辆。

尽管他从 2026 年 3 月到 2032 年 3 月被吊销驾照六年，但他仍然开车。

这辆奥迪车还撞上了另一辆车。25岁的女司机没有受到任何严重的身体伤害，但正在接受心理治疗。

她当时开的是她父亲的车，那辆车损坏严重，不得不报废。

Give.Asia 表示，再多的钱也无法取代男孩父母的爱，并补充道：“我们认为，最重要的下一步不仅仅是筹集更多资金，而是要确保已经展现出的慷慨能够在未来几年产生有意义的影响。”

“这需要合作、耐心和共同致力于为孩子做最好的事情。”
