A SCDF paramedic pronounced a person dead at the scene.

What happened

A video of the incident, posted to TikTok by @hidayattnordin, showed a discarded motorcycle along the expressway.

@hidayattnordinAn early morning experience with @agentaerulsri controlling the traffic from the middle of the highway on a bend was super scary, with alot of speeding drivers, all simply inconsiderate. fortunately for us, we are safe. And several good drivers were also around to help manoeuvre the traffic from such a dangerous situation, “an abandoned motorcycle” in the middle of a highway. Unfortunately, the rider of the motorcycle was eventually found unconscious after 30minutes plus of searching. RIP. Stay safe Everyone! Drive and ride safe!♬ Time - Official Sound Studio

According to the clip, the person who stopped to help had to direct traffic for about 30 minutes before the police and ambulance arrived.

They eventually found the body of the rider "in the bushes" along the road divider.
