The accident at the junction of Tampines Avenue 1 and Tampines Avenue 4 resulted in eight people being taken to the hospital.

Two of them, 17-year-old Temasek Junior College student Afifah Munirah and 57-year-old pest control company employee Norzihan Juwahib, died from their injuries.

Mr Soon said that he posted the footage “not because of insurance reporting (purposes)” but because he wanted the public to know that the white car was not in the wrong.

He added that he did not think there was anything wrong with helping to share the footage on social media.

“Because of this, people have threatened to rape my daughter, photos of me and my family have been posted online and people have called me and (given) me death threats because I posted that video on Facebook. Even when I go down to buy food people also recognise me,” he said.

In response to TODAY’s queries, the police confirmed that a report had been lodged.

A social media post allegedly written by the actual driver of the white Mercedes Benz attempting to “rationalise and clear up obvious misconceptions” also fanned the flames and worsened the situation for Mr Soon.

On this, Mr Soon said that the post could not have been written by the driver of the white Mercedes-Benz, describing the driver as a man in his 50s who spoke in Mandarin and understood little English. Mr Soon added that the driver had engaged the services of his firm four times before.

Police investigations are ongoing.
