Four years after a collision with an electric scooter left his wife in a coma for a month, Leong Loon Wah and his three kids are still dealing with the fallout from the accident.

Their latest struggle? Getting the rider to pay up on almost $500,000 awarded to them by the State Courts.

Nicholas Ting Nai Jie, 21, the e-scooter rider who knocked down 57-year-old Ang Liu Kiow in 2016, has refused to pay $445,748.81 in damages and $25,000 in legal costs, Leong told The Straits Times through his lawyer on July 25.

Ting’s lawyer S. Selvaraj explained to Lianhe Zaobao that his client is a full-time national serviceman with no assets. Even if Ting files for bankruptcy, Leong will not be able to recover much, Selvaraj added.
