Unsafe Construction sites in Singapore.

I have seen several horrible unmanaged and dangerous road works in Singapore, but today's is very disturbing.

At 3.30pm, I was driving on Lornie Road towards the City and there was a road widening. There are many foreign workers carrying tools while some others are trying to block traffic to get some things from the other side of the road over.

Although the traffic was slow, the fact that these workers run across the road between cars driving at 40km/h is really scary. No one bothered to stop for them as these workers seemed to run across even without signalling when there is oncoming traffic. There was of course cars trying to cut in from all sides and insufficient cautions before the roadworks as usual, but together with the crossing of the road, I know something is definitely going wrong.

A black Toyota Wish (MiniVan) with aftermarket taillights, Sport rims with a metalic blue lip (SGX8558X)  Somehow tried to overtake a Van, barely hitting a foreign worker and then the most horrible thing happened; the Toyota Wish ran over a cat. (I don't know why the cat or how the cat got on the road) I would assume the normal thing for someone to do when you run over an animal is to stop to see if any help can be rendered to the animal, but to my horror, the driver continued to drive as though nothing has happened. 

The impact was quite strong as I can hear the hit from 2 cars away and I can't believe some one who nearly hit a worker would just continue to drive as though nothing happened. I was quite sad after that probably the poor guidance of traffic and chaos caused by the unmanaged roadworks has caused the death of an animal.

If this continues, I believe more severe accidents may occur. But anyways, I called the police (non-emergency) line to report about the death of the cat and the "accident" and their reply was there is no accident as no life was lost, no property was damaged and no one was injured. A reply I probably expected in this cold and uncaring country.
