Wife of man who died in Bedok North accident looking for good Samaritan who administered CPR, Singapore News
In a Facebook post on August 3, 39-year-old Hazura said that witnesses saw how the man "did not give up" while trying to revive Fairuz.
"He performed CPR on my late husband and tried his best, even doing mouth-to-mouth multiple times to help revive him before the ambulance arrived...and for that, I am forever grateful," she wrote.
She then asked for those living in Singapore or nearby to share her post and requested that the kind Samaritan, or anyone that may know him, contact her privately.
"I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart," she said, adding that she hoped he will be blessed with "the greatest rewards for [his] kindness and humanity".
AsiaOne has reached out to the woman for more information. Believed to have self-skidded
The police told AsiaOne that they were alerted to a motorcycle accident along Bedok North Road towards New Upper Changi Road at around 10.55pm on July 18.
Fairuz was conveyed unconscious to the hospital, where he later died.
Investigations are ongoing.
Ekah Arshad, a friend of the family, had posted on Facebook on July 27, stating that they were only told Fairuz had self-skidded on the road.
He also called for witnesses and anyone with dashcam footage to come forward with more information about the accident.
Fairuz, who'd been employed as a train technician at SBS Transit, was on his way to work when the accident occurred. Hazura had been asleep with their children when her phone rang and she saw several messages from her husband's colleagues, reported Shin Min Daily News.
When she finally picked up, she was told that her husband had been in an accident. Hazura rushed to Changi General Hospital, thinking it was a minor incident — only to be met with the devastating news that her husband had died, according to the Chinese evening daily.
"The police officer asked me to identify the body, informing me that my husband had been unconscious when he was brought in three hours ago," she said.
Police also told Hazura that Fairuz had been flung nearly 10 metres from his motorcycle, which was found severely damaged, reported Shin Min.

'I tried to save her': Friend weeps beside coffin of 23-year-old woman killed in Yishun car crash, Singapore News
A 23-year-old woman died after a private-hire car she was travelling in with a friend crashed into a public bus in Yishun on Saturday (Aug 2). The surviving passenger, Ong Meiyi, 20, said she and her friend Queenie Leong had taken that car home after attending a friend's birthday party at Bedok. Recounting the incident, Ong told Shin Min Daily News that Leong had fallen asleep on the back seat shortly after getting into the car, while she sat beside her. The next thing she knew, the car crashed into a bus in Yishun. "Everything happened very suddenly. My hand hit the back of the seat, and it hurt. [Leong] might have also hit the front [before she] fell on me," Ong recalled, adding that she suffered a hand injury in the crash. Ong noted that Leong fell unconscious and was bleeding from her head, nose, and mouth due to the impact. "I called her name and held her hand - she moved slightly. I immediately tried to save her and perform CPR, but one of my hands was badly injured. There was really nothing I could do," said a distraught Ong. She added that the driver also appeared visibly distressed after the crash and fainted before opening the door. After the crash, Ong exited the vehicle and called for help, with the bus driver stepping forward to assist in contacting the authorities. Ong described her bond with Leong as "being like sisters", adding that the loss has left her overwhelmed with guilt and regret for not being able to save her friend as she wept at the wake. One of Leong's friend told the family that the driver was allegedly driving erratically prior to the incident and may have fallen asleep at the wheel, reported The Straits Times. Responding to queries from AsiaOne, the police and Singapore Civil Defence Force confirmed that a call for assistance was made at about 5.35am to a road traffic accident at the junction of Yishun Avenue 2 and Yishun Central 1 on Aug 2. A 47-year-old male car driver and his 20-year-old female passenger were conveyed conscious to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital. Another 23-year-old female car passenger was conveyed unconscious to the same hospital, where she later succumbed to her injuries. It was reported that Leong died at about 3pm on August 2. Police investigations are ongoing. The 47-year-old driver has been hospitalised, reported The Straits Times. A Tower Transit spokesman reportedly said the bus was stationary and waiting at the traffic lights when the accident happened. There were no passengers on board at the time. Minutes away from destination Speaking to the Chinese daily, the deceased's father, Leong Jian Wei (transliteration), said that his daughter was only five to 10 minutes away from her home when the accident occurred. "It's hard for us to accept this. [Her] mother even fainted from grief," said the 49-year-old private hire driver. He described his daughter as hardworking, caring, and well-loved by her peers and teachers. According to the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) College Central's Instagram account, Leong graduated with a Higher Nitec in Accounting in 2024 and was recognised as one of the school's outstanding recipients. "She had a bright future. She used to work in accountancy in Chinatown, [while] studying part-time to earn her own living expenses... We didn't have worry about her," said her father. [[nid:687782]]

5 durians for $488: Punggol residents accuse door-to-door salesman of selling them sour, unripe fruits, Singapore News
They wanted to indulge in the king of fruits but ended up feeling cheated. Two Punggol residents have accused a door-to-door salesman of peddling sour and unripe durians at astronomical prices, reported Shin Min Daily News. One resident, surnamed Chen, who lives at Block 613D Punggol Drive, told the Chinese evening daily that a man had visited her home on July 31 and asked if she was interested in joining a durian group order. "Because he said he lives upstairs, I didn't think much of it and agreed, trusting him," the durian lover explained. Later that day, another man claiming to be a deliveryman rang her doorbell carrying two big sacks of durians. He reportedly offered Chen a 'Musang King' weighing 3kg, and suggested she add another small black thorn durian to her order. But she alleged that the man opened the fruits before weighing them and claimed the two weighed 11.78kg and cost $187. "I was stunned — he clearly said the big durian is 3kg, how did the weight become 12kg after adding the small durian?" Chen asked. After she said her husband will not be happy with her for spending so much money, the man told her that she could pay just $150 if she gave him a drink. When she and her husband prepared to tuck into the durians later, they purportedly found that the flesh in one container was sour, and the flesh in the other was unripe. Calls to the number given by the salesman bounced back, and her messages went unreplied. Residents in the community chat group said they did not know any durian seller living upstairs, leading her to realise it was a scam. $488 for five Black Gold and Musang King durians Another resident living in a nearby block told Shin Min Daily News she had encountered the same salesperson on July 30 and alleged that she ended up paying $488 for five durians that weighed 36kg. The woman, who did not want to be named, said the salesman had similarly identified himself as a neighbour who lives upstairs. After she and her husband indicated their interest, he returned with another man later that night and offered them five durians. The couple said they only wanted to purchase two, but the duo purportedly insisted that the fruit was "specially reserved" and "buy four and get one free". She pointed out that the salespersons had weighed the durians and said it was 36kg and immediately dehusked it, leaving the couple with no time to refuse. "Regarding the durian quality, some were still unripe, and some were a bit sour. The seller said it is the Black Gold and Musang King variants, but the taste makes me doubtful." Similarly, the salesman did not respond to her messages. Both residents have lodged police reports, Shin Min reported. [[nid:685977]]
