Earlier this month during the Chinese New Year (CNY) weekend, a fatal car accident along Tanjong Pagar Road left many Singaporeans shook.

Though there were many aspects to the tragic tale, the one that touched many of our hearts were Ms Raybe Oh’s selfless actions.

Ms Oh, the girlfriend of Mr Jonathan Long – one of the victims of the Tanjong Pagar accident – had rushed into the blazing car in an attempt to save her fiancé.

Her family is also by her side supporting her.

According to ST, Ms Oh attempted to open the car door but got injured in the process.

The couple had recently applied for an HDB flat prior to the accident, said one of their friends.

Speaking to Shin Min Daily News, Mr Long’s dad said she was like a daughter to their family.

He added that while the family is dealing with their son’s demise, they are keeping her in their thoughts and will do their best to care for her.

Wish Ms Oh all the best in her recovery journey

Though the Tanjong Pagar accident is no doubt a tragic one, Ms Oh’s story is one of strength, love, and bravery.

We can’t begin to imagine the physical and emotional pain that she has been struggling with.

MS News wishes Ms Oh all the best in her recovery journey.
