The boy’s parents, both 24, died after a car struck their motorcycle and another vehicle along Tampines Avenue 12 on October 29 before fleeing the scene.

According to Mothership, a fundraising campaign launched by the boy’s father’s cousin had collected S$354,093 as of 3pm today, with donations intended to help secure his future.

The tragedy carries a particularly heartbreaking family history.
