2-8 years jail only? A family lost their daughter and another lost a mother.

only his arm was injured??? felt so sad for the 17 years old JC girl, she had a great life ahead. very angry with the reckless driver

Ploughing his car through a busy intersection. What in the world is he thinking? That act itself is NOT dangerous driving. It's MURDER. The car is the accessory. He should be held accountable.

The law is rubbish. When you speed through red light, it is already an intention to kill. The only difference is who would be the unlucky victim.

Drug = Death sentence. Reckless driving w/ death = Jail term. ?????????????

Lucky bastard..only 8 yrs. Should be life sentence.

Arrogant driver like him deserved to be punish.

Singapore has done well to deter drug traffickers and rapists. However in handling reckless drivers, the penalty is no big deal to the rich offenders. They just throw money to engage the best lawyers. No problem with license suspension as they can afford to take cab. Moreover many like to think they won't be that unlucky for just a short moment of thrills. So without speed limiters, caning or life imprisonment, within the next few days history will repeat itself.

Government, if you dont give more serious legal punishment to this killer driver, you are literally encouraging sick people to drive car to knock down innocent people, because they know the consequence is just a few year of jail

He should be sentences to life in prison, pls Mr judge 🙏🙏🙏

lol taking so many lives, injuring others and causing irreparable pain, only a few years of jail... joke of a justice system...

should be ban for life .....for driving ...No more killing ....

2 to 8 years only for the death of 2 innocent people? Wow.. our Singapore is really something.

May the deceased be granted Jannahtul Firdau. Allah comfort the grieving family n friends

This driver Mohd Syafie Ismail and that of the AMG Merc were reckless. So 2 have died. Can we imagine if there had been a bunch of school children crossing at that junction that day and then what? He ploughs through them and takes another 10, 15 lives for his act.... and then what? 2-8 years? The law cannot afford to be lenient on the recklessness of these errant and irresponsible drivers - if we sentence lightly, it's not a fair or reflective consequence for recklessness on our roads that kills. Drivers need to think before they do anything rash. Or people get hurt / die. Where is the driver of the AMG Merc who participated in the "race" leading up to the death of 2 innocent lives? He is complicit and should not be let off hook : his ass needs to be hauled into court for sentencing too. If you want to race, or taunt others into a race, and people die as a result of your taunt, your ass is on the firing line too, regardless of your car type. I am a father myself and if someone took the lives of my children in this manner, there is no leniency or pardon : it's a terribly irresponsible crime and it's normal for any affected families to be angry and deeply pained by the loss of their loved ones. I think caning is also in order, to remind offenders of their transgression in this reckless manner - not to repeat. Ban them from driving for life. If we don't send out the right signals, people continue to take things too lightly on the roads, for granted. 2-8 years is too lenient for the death of 2 innocent people who died because of Mohd Syafie Ismail's need to speed up and race through the huge traffic light junction - it is hardly anything for the sorrow and pain caused to both families who have lost their loved ones forever, suddenly.

Why such a reckless killer driver is allowed to drive? This is really horrific! Killer driver is alive, and innocent people have been killed by the killer driver.

涉案超过30亿新元的洗钱案主犯只判了13个月，导致两人死亡的车祸肇事者只判了2年，新加坡还有脸说自己是个法律严格的国家？SHAME ON YOU!

Random killer goes by traffic accident for lighter penalty

When they tabulated the traffic law, they forgot there are idiots.

The way he was speeding towards the junction when there were traffic going in the perpendicular direction shows an indescribable recklessness and disregard for life. There is no way he wouldn't know he was bound to crash into someone.

He should be banned from driving all classes for life..... this kind of arrogant driver should not be given any previledge to be on the road.....

I bet its gonna be ban from driving 10 years max and 5 years in prison max. Nothing more.

Our law on such incidents are to lax! Stiffer jail terms and driver should be ban from driving for life!

Intentional driving at high speed is murder, not an accident. Two innocent lives are lost, and the maximum penalty is only 8 years? They deserve justice!

Seriously. Those sentences are too lenient. Disqualification from driving is for life in Singapore I figure at least? If not it is too lenient as well.

There was intention to kill with speeding and ramming through traffic lights. Come on lah. You don’t have to graduate with a law degree to know this. Haiz…

Intentionally to driving through red light in high speed, is no different than driving a car through a crowd. This is no accident. This is intention to cause harm.

Death sentence is too lenient..

The most hated person in Singapore 2024

Unlike other fatal accidents which is cause by poor judgement or negligence. This case appeared to be cause by deliberate act. Such act deserve maximum punishment when innocent lives r involved.

Time for the government to review the existing laws and more should be done to deter such dangerous behaviour on the roads. All other road users must be protected. Otherwise, our roads will become killing fields.

So 2 innocent people's life lost are only worth $10,000 and max 2 years jail-time for the offender. U do the maths and tell me if it is fair justice for the dead. It's long overdue that the law has to change for such blatant severely mindless act. If our justice system still remain status quo for this incident, then it will wakeup more s'poreans to the fact that life is cheap in SG and the justice system is not as fair as they thought.

Investigate the merz driver too

Max jail is unacceptable at 2 years. This is murder with an intent already. I think this should be reviewed and not let such actions go lightly.

A 17-year-old female car passenger and a 57-year-old female van passenger were conveyed unconscious to the hospital, where they later succumbed to their injuries.

No sign of remorse at all😡

He is already 48 the girl that died didn't even reached half his age

beating red light is murder..not accident

In The Other News Fine is $300 for NOT Returning Tray n Crockery. Not RETURNING The Tray So More SERIOUS n DANGEROUS. LUDICROUS

Bruh…up to 8 years for claiming 2 lives? So can be lesser?

His case was treated more ugently because it receive more media attention. There was an accident on 01/01 as well and caused a death of 21 year old. But the driver who did not have a licence to drive and use the vehicle to do telegram hitch is still not charge till date.

I think SG need to tighten road accident penalty innocent lives are lost due to reckless drivers...today a young gal is laid to rest and this guy show no sense of regret!! Hasbunaa Wa Nikmal Wakeel...🤲🤲

What a disgrace he is to his family

2 years ? What a serious joke in our country. The 2 deceased cost him ONLY 2 years? It such an insult to the deceased family. Our traffic law is time to changed.how many reckless drivers on the road nowadays!

The penalty for causing death in traffic accidents is too light already. The law must be amended to reflect the serious of these kind of offences committed. The law must give us back the safety confidence on the road.

If Mr LEE K. Y. Is here, I don't think so light punishment and will be a new law come out.

Idiot driver, shameless acts, causing 2 innocent lives and would wanna engage a lawyer. Aren't u feeling any guilt in u??

Good that this guy is malay. Before his identity was revealed everyone was saying the driver is chinese and playing up the race tensions.

He'll be OUT of Changi Resort in a Blink of an eye

Penalty is Weak , innocent people died ! Alcohol and Drugs is no to Driving !

As a 3rd generation born Singaporean...I am utterly shameful our law and system...there is no regrets and guilt on this jerk's Face....Law is dead I guess like our PAPs government....my heart goes out to the victims...

if 2 person died, does it means 2 count of 'causing death'?

He had the intention to murder by intentionally speeding through a red light!

the law is not strict against errant drivers. The past 10 years, driving has become less safe in Singapore due to excessive speeding, CHANGING LANES WITHOUT SIGNALLING INTENTION, trucks, vans and lorries hogging the 2nd lane in expressways (MOSTLY FOREIGN DRIVERS) and SWERVING INTO LANES DURING LANE CHANGE. I do not see LTA taking any kind of enforcement against these drivers. They should patrol the roads and expressways just like how they do so in US and issue summons immediately. More interested to catch parking offence rather than reckless and dangerous driving. I would not advise anyone to pick up driving at this moment until LTA does something to make roads safer again.

He was totally reckless. This is equivalent to manslaughter. And the sentence must reflect the severity of his crime.

Another Ah Beng playing Fast and Furious on public roads disregarding other people's lives. 8 years is a joke.

He got a cheek to say he's innocent. 7 injures with 2 deaths

So... Is what this person did worse than kurt tay did?

If you think the penalty is too light for such crimes, please direct your attention to the right people. They literally have the supermajority in parliament and can change things if they want to. So far nothing much has changed. You can read into why they refuse to hear the people yourself.

my heart goes out to the victims of this tragic one accident 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤❤❤R.i.p.. May justice be served...

Papaya said we have the best system 👏 well done 👍 , Lorry , Van on 1st 2 lane , cars speed like F1 racing , cyclists ride like king on the road . Singapore have perfect system 😂

also need to talk about delivery riders (especially the ones on bicycles that look like motorcycles- this should be illegal). If you cannot signal your intention of whether you are stopping, turning left or right on the road, IT IS DANGEROUS and YOU SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO DRIVE ON THE ROAD.

The law is Extremely lineant. This crime should carry a 15-20 year sentence.

wow only 8 years... something very wrong with the laws here

He should be jailed for life at least. Killing 2 people by his intentional dangerous "driving" cannot be a reason or excuse for such light sentence. Where is the justice to the lost life?

Who the hell is he that he can get away with murders!!! Is he some big shot that can't be touched!!

So Singapore 🇸🇬 does charge people criminally for causing accidents. Right? The Singaporean-flagged, Chinese-owned ship Dali, hitting the Baltimore bridge, was also an accident.

Should be 20 years in jail terms. Let this a harsh example so others won't follow

Victims details were elaborately revealed. Perpetrator details is limited n vague. Beside 42 years old n name, nothing else😂. They even spend public fund to hire Guards to protect his safety to court.😂 Is this the new Singapore std? 😂

2 innocent life gone, only 2 years?? That’s ridiculous.

Funny How SIngapore law works. Smuggling drug(which might or not destroy other life) got death sentence while actually killing someone life will just get jail time. LOL XD what a joke of a law

When everyday people can see the cracks in the law; why isn't the government doing more to change that?

So, essentially, in your law, it's considered acceptable with only jail terms for a person to cause an accident resulting in someone's death, which can be avoided. However, it's deemed unacceptable for an individual with a proven low IQ, who was coerced to trafficking drugs into Singapore, to face the death penalty under your justice system? Such disparity paints a grim picture of an island nation with a flawed mindset.

He should be charged for MURDER

What were the results of the severity of those injured

I'm sure he knows his driving but I'm wondering what makes him drive like that! Those in charge please do a thorough background check.😮😮

whats the white merc driver sentence? he caused this indirectly and still spouting bullshit excuses.

What is fair or unfair is not for us to decide. It is for the law to decide.

Money laundering billions also 13months+ only.

8 years????? Wha he committed vehicular manslaughter

How did the accident happen?..any cctv or diagramatic show how the vehicles got into the accident..

*Am sure hes remorseful by now and everyones makes mistake so dont be too harsh on him*

So min he will kana 4 years atleast.. unless more charges are add in

Our road offences penalties is a joke compared to let’s say something like illegal hawker getting caught

Road usage tofu law, even bicycle riders don't follow

The penalty is too lenient and unfair to decease family.

Garment should separate causing hurt and causing death into two different case… hurt= remains the same, causing death = min 10yrs to life or death sentences and fine 100k. Or both…!! 😠🤨🤨😠🤨

He is the unforgiven not of this world and not in the hereafter...

Garmen, wake up

Singapore law: Nah, I'd suspend him

2 years jail it will be a joke by our stupud judges

Max 2 year jail and $10K fine？

Does he have a track record historically bad driving

has there been confirmation if he is Singaporean

God help everyone else on the road of this kind of demon who are reckless drivers... that include Taxi Drivers!!!!! As they think its their fathers road

*Hes a very dangerous driver*

sentence was waaaay too light. This guy should not be allowed to drive forever mean....the times he could, he killed 2 ppl.....smh.....common singapore.
