who will come back to look for his death?
so is the case close or the ambassador will be punish on his behalf.

Allow me to ruffle some feathers here.

 

We love to see justice being executed on others.

What happens, if that man is your son, your one and only dearest son?

Will you rally with others, "Hang him! crucify him?"

 

Was the wrong doing wrong? Of course, it is extremely bad and wrong, no doubts about it.

So, you want to see him dead, punished, slaughtered.

What makes you so sure, he is now not punished and already experiencing death in his heart and mind and even bodily?  There is a conscience in every one of us. For example, one might had kiilled someone and ran off with billions of dollars to another land. He is now free, free to enjoy life with all the money he had, but very likely it is not the case. His conscience is punishing him, every moment in his life, sickness and even diseases begin to manifest in his body, he cannot put on a smile, not to mention to enjoy a meal or have proper sleep.  He cannot show his love to his loved ones anymore. He is like a walking zombie. Isn't this punishment worst than an instant death?

Yes, we have to execute justice, but we must understand a little deeper, and have mercy.

We must not love justice without mercy and love.

Hate the sin, but love the sinner.

Please do not shoot me down for my humble opinion, as I'm 16 only 16.

I am too young to fall in love, and I am too young not to know.

Love you guys

 

 

 

 

a man shld be unswerable for his wrong doings...not juz run away like dat & simply tell others that deep down inside, he is sorry (if he ever did)...it is really not fair to the victims' family...shld at least come back here & explain wat really happen then see wat actions taken against him..

man, you have a good heart... put it this way.. if that diplomat had just a little conscience, shd have stop and help the victim, if he had a little conscience, he wont be speeding his way home after heavy dose of alcohol, if he had a little conscience, he wont park his car at kranji, report lost of his car and take a cab home.... if he has a little conscience.......

So man.. you see, this kind of guy... he dun dererve sympathy from us.

Envoy faces charges

BUCHAREST: A Romanian diplomat is facing manslaughter charges following a deadly hit-and-run accident in Singapore, the Romanian prosecutor's office said yesterday.

Dr Silviu Ionescu, charge d'affaires in Singapore, is alleged to have hit two pedestrians while he was driving the Romanian embassy car in the early morning of Dec 15. The diplomat drove on and only minutes later hit another person. One of the victims suffered brain damage and died on Dec 25 while the other two suffered injuries.

After the second accident, Dr Ionescu, 49, called the police to report his car was missing, 'an allegation which has been proven false', the prosecutor's office was quoted as saying in an Agence France-Presse report late last night.

The date for his indictment was not yet known, according to the news agency.

The Romanian foreign ministry, which recalled the diplomat a few days after the incident, had called for an investigation by Romanian prosecutors and pledged to 'cooperate with the Singaporean authorities in order to clarify this affair'.

The ministry has also transferred to investigators the information gathered during its own internal inquiry. Singapore police say they have evidence that Dr Ionescu was the driver of the car involved in the accident.

In rare proceedings last week, Principal Senior State Counsel Lau Wing Yum told State Coroner Victor Yeo that Dr Ionescu beat two red lights and hit the three pedestrians while driving an Audi A6 sedan on Dec 15. Less than an hour later, he made a false police report that the car had been stolen. Three days later, he left Singapore.

 

this kind of case usually drag very long.... at 3 ~ 5 years... haiz... before he's being confirm guilty, he still live normal life for this few years. Or may even run away and hide.

Haiz what to do....

No doubt will take time, but what is definite is his credibility is gone, no future.

MFA summons Romanian envoy to S'pore over hit-and-run accidents
By Teo Chia Leen, Channel NewsAsia | Posted: 11 February 2010 2143 hrs

SINGAPORE: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) summoned the Romanian Ambassador to Singapore, Aurelian Neagu, who is based in Tokyo, to the Republic on Thursday regarding the hit-and-run accidents involving the embassy's vehicle.

Police investigations had revealed that diplomat, Dr Silviu Ionescu, was the driver of the embassy vehicle involved in the two accidents on 15 December last year. One person died and two others were injured.

Responding to media queries, the MFA said it stressed to the ambassador that the matter is of the highest concern to the Singapore government and that it is most important that the Romanian Embassy cooperate fully with Singapore authorities on the matter.

The ministry also informed Ambassador Neagu that the coroner's inquiry into the death of accident victim Tong Kok Wai will be held from March 3 to 10. It was explained to the ambassador that the inquiry is not a trial but a fact-finding inquiry to establish the facts where there has been an unnatural death.

The MFA also sought the embassy's assistance in requesting Dr Ionescu to return to Singapore to attend the coroner's inquiry.

The ministry noted that it would appear from Romanian media reports that Dr Ionescu was still maintaining that the car had been stolen and that he was not the driver at the time of the accidents.

MFA pointed out that if Dr Ionescu was maintaining that he was not responsible, all the more he should come back to Singapore to give his version at the coroner's inquiry.

This will help the state coroner to ascertain the facts about the accidents. At the coroner's inquiry, Dr Ionescu can also question the witnesses.

The ministry also pointed out to Ambassador Neagu that Dr Ionescu is welcome to engage a local lawyer to examine the witnesses and put forth his version of the events at the inquiry. Alternatively, the embassy could engage a local lawyer on Dr Ionescu's behalf.

The MFA also noted Dr Ionescu's claim in a recent Romanian television interview that there was a witness who could exonerate him. It asked the embassy to request Dr Ionescu to give the Singapore authorities details concerning the identity of this witness. The witness can then be required to give evidence at the coroner's inquiry.

The ministry added that the state coroner has issued a witness summons for Mr Marius Trusca, an administrative officer at the embassy, to give evidence at the inquiry and assist the state coroner in establishing the true circumstances surrounding the death of Mr Tong. The witness summons was issued because Mr Trusca's evidence is directly relevant for the coroner's inquiry.

The MFA noted that under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, Mr Trusca is not obliged to give evidence as a witness. The ministry therefore requested the embassy to let Mr Trusca's immunity be waived so that the witness summons may be served on him.

The MFA also referred to Dr Ionescu's interview by a Romanian television station in which he alleged that this was a case of a "set-up" by the Singapore government because he had been reporting on political activities in Singapore.

Dr Ionescu also alleged there had been a similar case in 2007 where he was accused of being the driver in a hit-and-run accident, but was eventually let off as he had an alibi at that time.

The MFA told Ambassador Neagu that if these media reports had accurately quoted Dr Ionescu, then he had made very serious allegations against the integrity of the Singapore government, which MFA categorically rejected as lacking any basis in fact.

These allegations were also a gross insult to the victims of the two accidents, said the MFA. Dr Ionescu's claim that he had been accused of being the driver in a hit-and-run accident in 2007 is entirely false, said MFA.

The ministry said its records showed that the embassy vehicle was involved in two traffic accidents in 2007. The first was a minor non-injury accident where the driver was not Dr Ionescu and the other driver did not wish to pursue the matter.

In the second case, it was established then that Dr Ionescu, who was the driver, was not at fault and action was taken against the other driver involved in the accident.

These facts clearly showed that Dr Ionescu's claims are fictitious and at no time was he ever accused by the police of being the driver in a hit-and-run accident in 2007, said the MFA.

The ministry also asked Ambassador Neagu for more information on the status of the criminal proceedings in Romania against Dr Ionescu, and on the Romanian system of investigations and prosecutions.

The next step will depend on the Romanian government's response to MFA's requests and the outcome of the coroner's inquiry.

Such a horrible creature he is!

some forumers suggested that his conscience would prick him for the rest of his life... if u see how he fabricated stories, he still think he's above the law... he can rot in hell, for all I care

waiting for his conscience to prick him will be a long wait .. or if it will eva would l be a ? if u read the article he also has been involved in another hit and run in 2007.... if it had reali pricked that as***** fella would he have done it again?

Hope justice will be brought upon, its an innocent life lost.... its scary to think... what if it had been a small kiddo crossing the road or even our own family members..

Im sure he is in it for a big time... he has blamed our gov...


Let's jus shit back and watch.. how this case is gonna be handled.

media reports have definitely protrayed him as unrepentent. I hope the law catches up with him too.

If it fails to, then creating laws would have failed in its primary mission - to bring justice.

Then we have to ask ourselves why we bother to have laws in the first place.

Read tdy's straits times, even his own country seem to be accusing Singapore of framing their people.. This guy is a coward, i am quite sure he'll not return for the inquiry

if he did nothing wrong, then there's no reason for him not to come back here...he is making a mockery out of Spore's laws...despicable creature not even fit to be called human being!!

they have made real awful comments bout our government... this is really not a good sign to resolve things, believe from some article, the deceased wife have actually engaged lawyer subhas, even if not the government, he still has to come down to face charges as an individual and not some official

well, I guess that is his ultimate move, to play the political card, that would prevent Romania from extradicting him back to S'pore... I'd recently watched a documentary on Romania (regarding their revolution), and with this incident, I certainly have very low regards for the Romanians (especially those in politics)... if u're a Romanian and feel that my comments are unjustified, my apologies

well singapore will stand firm in its grounds and prove him wrong, hopefully he cannot run for too long
