  On June 4, Tuesday, police were informed of a traffic accident involving lorries, a motorcycle and a van. The LTA enforcement officer was the rider of the motorcycle, and was believed to be pursuing the 18 year old man before the major accident. The reason for the chase was because of the 18 year old man being suspected of multiple charges, dangerous riding without a valid license, possession of scheduled weapons, and drug related activities. 

  Despite telling the 18 year old man to stop repeatedly, the 18 year old man still continued driving away, at a higher speed. This caused the LTA officer, Mr Zdulfika to crash into a road divider. 

  After the incident, in which Mr Zdulfika was rushed to the hospital and still ended up passing away, many offer their condolences to his family and the LTA mentioned him as a ‘valuable member of their enforcement team’
