The 48-year-old electrical engineer said he was driving to meet a friend for tea when he stopped at the T-junction of Compassvale Bow and Sengkang East Road, intending to turn right.
There was a motorcycle in front of him, also waiting for the traffic light to turn green.
According to in-car camera footage that Mr Chen shared, the motorcyclist proceeded to turn right when the green arrow lighted up in his favour.
