SINGAPORE — Ms Sally Ng has been careful when crossing roads and walking on footpaths after an incident eight years ago when her daughter, aged four at the time, fell over after she was almost struck by a cyclist.

The girl, now 12, was left shaken though not badly injured when the cyclist sped across her path as she was stepping out of the lift of their housing block. Ms Ng's husband chased the cyclist but was unable to catch up with the person.

Then three weeks ago, Ms Ng was stepping out of the gate of her Punggol condominium Prive onto a footpath for her evening jog and moments later, she was knocked off her feet by a cyclist. "I was very scared at that point of time, that I may be permanently paralysed from the neck down, not able to move my body at all. And I know that this trauma and pain will live with me for the rest of my life," she said in between sobs.

In the post, which starts off with a call for"justice", Ms Ng wrote that the cyclist"did not apologise and was rude and arrogant", adding that he"claimed that he did not hit me and blamed me for not giving way to him".

Cyclists are even boldly cycling over bridges when there are signs prohibiting it. No use having signs without regular enforcement. Do the authorities even bother? Or waiting for some kid or senior to get knocked down.

How about having rumble strips near the exit? The bumps to the riders and the noise creates will alert those that leaving the gate. Only issue i can imagine is the risk of tripping for the aged.

I can feel your pain. So sad story
