Man in fatal Tampines crash that killed 2 drove despite being disqualified from driving until 2032
He had also been convicted on two occasions of driving while under disqualification – in November 2021 and July 2025.
In a tragic Tampines crash, a driver who was banned from operating a vehicle until 2032 was seen behind the wheel. According to court documents, Muhammad Zulfiqar Abdul Aziz, 30, was prohibited from driving from March 2026 to March 2032. The charge sheets revealed that Zulfiqar had previously been convicted twice for driving while disqualified – once in November 2021 and another time in July 2025.
On October 29, Zulfiqar allegedly drove the car with reckless abandon, failing to maintain control while navigating a left turn. The car veered onto the center divider, metal railing, and crossed into the opposite lane of traffic, colliding with a motorcycle and another car. The motorcyclist and his pregnant wife, both 24, lost their lives as they were rushed to the hospital.
The couple had a six-year-old son, and family members stated that they were expecting another child. The victims were buried together at Choa Chu Kang Muslim Cemetery on October 30. Zulfiqar was denied bail due to the risk of fleeing, and his case will be heard again on November 27. In Singapore, those found guilty of causing death through dangerous driving can face up to eight years in prison, while using a deregistered vehicle may result in a two-year jail term and a fine of $20,000.
