Chinatown accident: Mother regains consciousness; Indonesian Embassy offers to coordinate legal help if needed

Date:

The woman remains in intensive care but is in stable condition, according to the Indonesian Embassy in Singapore.

SINGAPORE: The mother who was hit by a car in the recent Chinatown car accident has regained consciousness and is in stable condition in intensive care, said the Indonesian Embassy in Singapore on Tuesday (Feb 10).

In response to queries from CNA, the embassy said that the woman remains under intensive medical care in the high-dependency unit of Singapore General Hospital (SGH), having sustained serious injuries, including internal injuries and fractures.

The embassy added that her six-year-old daughter was pronounced dead at the hospital at 12.44pm on Feb 6, the day of the accident, with the cause of death determined by hospital autopsy to be cranio-cerebral injuries.

The Indonesian Embassy said that its representatives had on Feb 6 met the family involved, including the husband and father of the victims, to “convey condolences and provide immediate assistance”.

“The embassy has continuously accompanied the family since the day of the incident, including throughout Feb 7, 2026, and has facilitated administrative arrangements related to the handling and repatriation of the deceased child,” the embassy said, adding that her burial has since taken place in Indonesia.

“The embassy continues to monitor the medical condition of the mother, while coordinating with SGH regarding her treatment,” it said.

“Although the family has expressed an intention to eventually transfer her to Indonesia for further medical care, the attending physicians have advised that she is not yet medically fit for evacuation.”

The Indonesian Embassy also said that it has been “in close coordination” with the Singapore Police Force to monitor the progress of the legal investigation involving the driver of the vehicle.

It added that its deputy chief of mission and staff met the family again on Monday “to convey official condolences and to coordinate further assistance, including possible facilitation of legal support should the family require it”.

The accident took place on South Bridge Road, near the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Chinatown, at around 11.50am on Feb 6.

The police said at the time that two pedestrians, a six-year-old girl and a 31-year-old woman, had been taken to hospital conscious following the accident, and that the girl later died there.

The Indonesian Embassy said that the victims were crossing the road near an open car park.

Reports on Feb 6 identified the victims as a mother and daughter from Indonesia who were visiting Singapore, and this was confirmed by an official from Indonesia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Feb 8.

Photos and videos of the accident’s aftermath were circulated on social media, depicting a man holding the girl while a woman lies on the road next to them.

Several bystanders were seen assisting the victims. In one video, a woman can be heard saying that an ambulance had been called, while others used umbrellas to shield the victims from the sun.

The police on Feb 8 said that the driver involved in the accident had been arrested for driving without reasonable consideration, causing death.

They earlier said the 38-year-old female car driver was assisting with investigations.

聚焦华人家族传承与下一代培养 全球视野领导力研修在新加坡举行

随着中国企业和华人家族全球化程度不断提升,家族财富传承、企业接班以及下一代国际化能力培养受到越来越多关注。如何让年轻一代既理解家族的发展历程,又具备面向全球市场的视野和能力,成为家族传承领域的重要议题。 2026年8月2日至7日,「华人传承与全球视野领导力研修计划·新加坡站」在新加坡举行。本次研修由香港瑭明传承学院主办、南洋理工大学承办,为期六天五晚。 据了解,本次研修以南洋华人文明、全球视野和长期主义为主线,将课堂学习、实地参访和交流活动相结合。参与者走进南洋理工大学及南洋商学院,并通过参访华裔馆、陈嘉庚基⾦会、新加坡城市发展局等机构,了解南洋华人社会的发展历程以及新加坡城市建设和社会发展的相关实践。 在专业课程方面,研修内容涵盖全球化、地缘政治、企业战略、全球资产配置、全球账户体系、多法域财富管理等议题,同时设置家族治理、法律、信托、代际传承及下一代教育等内容,尝试从企业发展、财富管理和家族治理等多个维度,探讨家族长期发展的系统性问题。 下一代培养是此次研修关注的重点之一。随着家族企业进入代际交接阶段,传统以财富和企业控制权交接为核心的传承方式,正面临新的挑战。对于年轻一代而言,除了承接家族资源,也需要建立独立判断能力、全球视野、长期思维以及应对复杂环境的能力。 业内观察认为,家族传承正在从单纯的财富传递,逐步向家族治理、人才培养、价值观延续和全球化能力建设等方向拓展。尤其对于具有跨区域发展需求的华人家族而言,如何在理解自身文化与家族历史的基础上建立全球视野,并通过制度化安排实现长期传承,正在成为新的关注方向。 此次新加坡研修以华人历史为起点,以全球视野和下一代成长为重点,通过教育、文化、商业与财富管理等多个维度的交流,为家族传承领域提供了一种新的观察视角,也反映出新时代背景下华人家族对于下一代培养和长期传承的关注正在不断加深。
