'I am angry that this happened but I will not allow myself to hate': Man whose wife and 11-year-old son were involved in Tampines crash

It has been a «roller-coaster» of emotions for Jim Chua in the week following the fatal accident which occurred at the junction of Tampines Avenue 1 and Avenue 4 on April 22.
