A wheelchair bound elderly woman, who has been going to a Bedok church for the past two years, was found at the bottom of a ramp at the Bedok Lutheran Church, lying face down in a heap. 83 year old Madam Neo Ng Tee was found with her face covered in blood, two of her front teeth broken and the wheelchair on top of her. She suffered injuries to the left side of her face and can hardly open her eyes. She also has abrasions all over her body. Madam Neo is now in the high dependency ward at Changi General Hospital (CGH). It was unclear how she had fallen off her wheelchair at the foot of the ramp.

69 year-old Mr Yao Long Xiang looked on helplessly as he watched the taxi hurtle towards him at high speed which had gone out of control and was unable to stop. As other people ran to safety, Mr Yao, who is wheelchair bound, was left alone to face the impact of the crash. Staring death in the face, Mr Yao's only thought was "This is how I'm going to die."

She is the singing tissue peddler, and she says she will not give up her job for any assistance anyone can offer. Not even from the government. “I started selling tissue paper 10 years ago. I like the freedom I have now. Whatever I sell, it is whatever I earn immediately. There is no middleman. When I am sick, I can take a day off and I will not make any losses.” “I know what most people will say to me. They ask me to rely on government’s help. “But if I spend my entire life living off government’s assistance, then what is my life for? I live a meaningless existence.”
