  "account": "The aunt of a six-year-old boy whose parents were killed in a fatal accident in Tampines has addressed concerns over a fundraiser set up for the child. The tragic incident occurred on October 29 when a car collided with a motorcycle driven by the boy's parents, both aged 24. The parents perished in the crash, while the woman, who was reportedly pregnant at the time, has been charged with nine offenses, including one for dangerous driving causing death.\n\nTo address doubts about the legitimacy of the fundraiser, the woman provided updates on her Instagram stories. She explained that she initially posted the PayNow code, as relatives, friends, and followers wanted to know how they could contribute. After the case gained more attention, she switched to Give.Asia, ensuring every donation was logged for complete transparency. Every contribution would be used solely for the boy's education, medical costs, and other needs.\n\nAs of November 4, the fundraiser had raised over S$470,000. The organizer emphasized that setting up a fundraiser in Singapore requires proper documentation and verification. She expressed deep gratitude for the overwhelming response, saying every donation, regardless of size, was deeply appreciated. The campaign was set to close on November 12, coinciding with the late father's 25th birthday, and the family plans to consult a lawyer to establish a trust or fund for the boy's welfare and future care.",
