Two Facebook posts about an errant driver who answered rudely after allegedly running over a dog at Pasir Ris Farmway 3 at 10.45am Sunday (Oct 23) has sparked an uproar among Singapore netizens.
Many Stomp conrtibutors emailed and contacted Stomp via WhatsApp to alert them to the posts on the incident, which has gone viral online.
The two posts, one made by Ms Lixin Tan, and the other by Animal Lovers League, detailed the incident which happened near an animal shelter.
The woman, who was driving a Honda with the licence plate number SJR 9248 E, allegedly ran over the dog.
An update posted by Ms Tan stated that the tyre went over the dog and it was hit several times by the mud guard as the driver did not stop while the animal was struggling under the car.
She was stopped by two witnesses who asked her to help them with the injured dog.
However, according to the two Facebook posts, the woman allegedly told them, “F*** you. It’s just a dog,” before driving off.

The dog reportedly got frightened and ran away, until a volunteer the animal trusts chased it and managed to bring it back to the shelter.
Cathy Strong, one of the founders of the Animal Lovers League shelter, told Stomp that dog, named Sayang, is currently at a clinic.
She added that a police report will be filed over the incident on Monday (Oct 24).
