SINGAPORE: The vehicles involved in a River Valley fatal accident&nbsp, that killed a four- season- old woman earlier this year was not travelling at a fast rate as it was making a change, the coroner’s jury heard on Wednesday ( Jun 26 ).

Zara Mei Orlic passed away on January 23 after being struck by a vehicle that had veered directly into Institution Hill from River Valley Road. &nbsp,

She passed away later that evening at Singapore General Hospital (SGH). According to an inquest report, the cause of suicide was a brain injury that was consistent with a motion in a motor vehicle. &nbsp,

During the prosecutor’s inquiry on Wednesday, Customers Police Station Inspector Muhammad Firdaus Suleiman, the investigating officer of the case, told the judge of the studies detailed in an inspection report.

The judge also heard, among other things, that Zara’s families had told the girl to take a course that did not require her to “jaywalk” at Institution Hill, but the girl did not heed this training.

When Coroner Eddy Tham after inquired whether Zara was crossing a permitted passing zone, Mr. Firdaus claimed that there were no signs to avert pedestrian traffic.

Zara’s families, represented by attorney Alfred Lim, were both present in court, as were the attorneys for the vehicle.

Aside from Zara, the partners has two sons, with Zara being the middle child. The home resided in an Aspen Heights apartment along Institution Hill.

A single-lane, two-way path that enters Institution Hill from River Valley Road. Numerous vehicles were waiting to make a change from Institution Hill to River Valley Road at the time of the injury. &nbsp,

The girl has been with the community since October 2023, according to Mr. Firdaus.

The eldest takes a university vehicle, while the younger one is expected to pick up the two younger children. &nbsp,

The girl had been walking Zara and her younger sister along River Valley Road, which is about 10 minutes from their home, on January 23. &nbsp,

The girl, who was carrying the girls ‘ college bags, admitted to never holding Zara’s side, as she was an “independent baby” who walked forward. &nbsp,

The family had recently instructed the girl to use the signalized commuter crossing closer to Institution Hill, according to Mr. Firdaus. &nbsp, If she had done so, she would not have had to cross the road at Institution Hill, which&nbsp, does not have signalised motorist bridges.

But, the lady used the signalised passing nearer to the girls ‘ pre- school rather, which would have required her to mix Institution Hill to get to the condominium.

According to Mr. Firdaus, Zara’s parents were unaware why the maid had gone against their wishes that day. &nbsp,

However, he also noted during proceedings that the maid had used this particular route “frequently”.

At 4.57pm, the police received a call about the accident. &nbsp,

The driver, 40, whose name was not revealed during the proceedings, had been on the way home after fetching her children.

Zara ran across the front of her car as she made a right turn into Institution Hill. Before coming to a stop, the car struck the child and ran over her. &nbsp,

The driver claimed that Zara had only been spotted by her car and that she had only felt it hit and run over something. She then heard a loud scream and looked into her rearview mirror only to realize she had struck someone. &nbsp,

Zara was lying motionless on the road when she rushed to her. &nbsp,

The driver remained at the scene until they arrived, but the authorities were alerted. &nbsp,

Zara was taken to Singapore General Hospital, where she later died. For trauma, the maid was treated separately. CNA is aware that she is still a member of the family. &nbsp, According to the maid, she had screamed for the car to stop, but to no avail. &nbsp, She then informed Zara’s father of the accident.

CULLING” EXPECTED” WHEN THERE ARE HYGIENE ISSUES

The birds were n’t a big deal, according to the majority of peddlers CNA spoke to. However, one barn landlord at Bukit Merah Central Food Centre complained that birds frequently flies onto chairs that consumers have occupied. &nbsp,

Owner of a young beta fang barn, Mdm Leong, recalls a recent event where a consumer stepped away from her meals for a short while to get more sauce before discovering some pigeons next to her food.

However, Mdm Leong, who merely provided her last name, argued that the problem may not be related to culling pigeons and that maintaining sanitation is a must.

Mr. Tan from the Nature Society Singapore Bird Group emphasized that culling is “expected” when birds begin to cause health and environmental concerns. &nbsp,

” It is good to remove quasi- local varieties, such as these wild birds, as ( they ) often severely impact the environment”, he added. &nbsp,

He also expressed concern about extra poison of other birds and animals, including flowered goshawks, which might attack pigeons that have consumed the chemicals. &nbsp,

He further stated that the alleged pigeons may be taken out right away to prevent unintentionally attracting animals. According to Mr. Tan, the compounds used should also be effectively disposed of in order to prevent affecting other creatures.

As for Ang Mo Kio native Mr Well, she questioned if there may be a “better approach” to deal with the problem, and also pointing out that she was no “adversely affected” by the choice.

Likewise, fellow resident Ms Siti said:” I mean to ( cull ) them… is a bit pity but if there are too many ( pigeons ), they will be bothering others”.

Weston Robot, a technology company based in Singapore that has deployed more than 300 automatic computers across the island, created the canal washing machine. These include grass-cutting cutters at Jurong Lake Gardens and workers at Gardens by the Bay.

” With Iot, our robot is recognise there’s rubbish it, there’s debris there. Our machine can go there and accumulate wastes more effectively”, said the company’s main professor Zhang Yanliang.

Mr. Zhang claimed that using robots to save money on manual labor and eliminate the need to literally clear waterways.

” Now, the operator does n’t have to sit on a boat, which might be very slippery after rain, and the working environment is much more comfortable. We can relax in the handle area and manage the machine running”, he added.

SHIFT TOWARDS EMERGING TECH SHIFT

Weston Robot was among more than 40 entrepreneurs that shared and pitched answers and showcased prototypes&nbsp, at the CleanEnviro Summit.

The National is funding improvements like the Falcon, a false ceiling assessment robot created by experts at the Singapore University of Technology and Design ( SUTD), as the sector shifts to technology and various rapidly-emerging technologies.

The research team’s development of robots to improve workplace safety and productivity was supported by NEA’s federal automation program.

According to Associate Professor Mohan Rajesh Elara, one of the SUTD researchers, the Falcon machine eliminates the need for pest control personnel to individually examine properties.

Made to get into tough- to- entry areas, it performs tasks that could be boring or harmful for its individual counterparts.

” ( By ) deploying the robots, pest control personnel can simply control, operate, monitor the robot, and the robot will go into the nooks and corners of false ceilings, looking for scratch marks and rodent droppings”, Assoc Prof Mohan noted.

A book programmable pavement sweeping robot named Panthera was also developed under the direction of SUTD.

With the help of computers, Assoc Prof Mohan said that employees now manage and supervise, rather than take off “ergonomically hard work techniques”.

” We now have a brand-new category of jobs that allow one person to operate five or ten robots simultaneously. And the robots take on tasks that are dull, ugly and dangerous”, he added.

” But we see a complete shift in jobs, with initiatives like Falcon and Pantera having a real effect.”
