The cyclist was pronounced dead at the scene by a Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) paramedic.
It was reported that Wong was cycling with a friend on the campus at the time where he was riding in front of Wong and would occasionally turn back to check on her and they were riding down a slope at the terrain was uneven and Wong then fell off her bicycle and the oncoming bus failed to avoid her.
Wong’s husband, Ye Zicheng who is in Seremban, Malaysia with their 19-year-old son and it was known that Wong has just bought the bicycle just a week before the tragedy. Her husband said that she seldom rides a bicycle in Malaysia and she also rarely rides a bicycle on the road so he has always disapproved of her buying a bicycle. He said that he should have insisted at the time. He is currently in Malaysia with their 19-year-old son and Mr Yee is hoping that he can be allowed to cross the border to attend his wife’s funeral.
