Sin Chew Jit Poh, 14 May 2012Singapore, May 14, 2012 (AFP) - A wealthy Chinese expatriate who crashed his million-dollar Ferrari into a taxi killing himself and two others has sparked outrage in Singapore, where anti-immigrant sentiment is on the rise.
Websites were swamped Monday with postings attacking Chinese and other foreigners in the city-state after it was reported that a 52-year-old local cabbie had died of his injuries following Saturday's pre-dawn accident.
The crash instantly killed the 31-year-old Ferrari driver, Ma Chi, while the taxi passenger, a 41-year-old Japanese woman, died in hospital two hours later, a police spokeswoman told AFP. Full story

china cars are left hand drive, so slower vehicles keep right. come to spore drive lorries also keep right. now we have a china driver who thought his car means red light so others must stop. wonder how the govt and lta allow them the licences to drive on spore roads. donno whether they need to pass english test so as to read the road signs or not. or colour blind test to decipher traffic lights...
Reckless driver.... dun know how he drive his ferrari...
This Ma Chicken Ferrari driver was from SiChuan province. In 2008 May 12, there was a big earthquake in Sichuan that killed over 50k people. The chinese gov release lots of fund to aid that area, but some fund went missing.
2012 may 12, this Ferrari driver got killed, exatly 5 years from that earthquake day.
The Chinese embassy in spore or the China gov needs to investigate this issue, to see if this Ma Chicken's parents or relatives are some Sichuan gov officials that kept those relief fund.
He won't rest even in hell, senseless driving.
