Flowers & soft toys left at Chinatown accident site where girl, 6, died

Members of the public left flowers, soft toys, and candy at the scene of the Feb. 6 Chinatown car accident that took the life of six-year-old Sheyna Lashira Smaradiani.

The pastel array of pink items, left near a sign appealing for witnesses, also held a note written in Chinese by Venerable Shi Fa Rong.

The victim's mother, Raisha Anindra Pascasiswi, remains at the Singapore General Hospital (SGH), where she is being treated for her injuries.

She is in stable condition and has regained consciousness. Her husband is reportedly still in Singapore by her side.

Soft toys and prayers

When Mothership visited the scene on Feb. 12, multiple soft toys were seen left on the grass verge near the road where the accident took place.

A teddy bear and several pink plush horses were left there.

Sweets, including a bar of Kinder-Bueno and packets of Haribo gummy bears, were also laid out as offerings.

Venerable Shi, who frequently leaves tributes at accident sites for victims, penned a note that wished her mother, Raisha, a speedy recovery.

"A six-year-old little girl was seriously injured and passed away. Her mother was injured — wishing her a quick recovery," the note read.

In an Instagram post dated Feb. 12, Shi wrote that tomorrow marks seven days since Sheyna's passing:

"Hope and pray that her soul rest in peace and get well soon, speedy recovery to the mother in hospital."

Stepping in to help

Ever since the accident, different individuals and organisations have stepped forward to help the bereaved family.

In response to Mothership's queries, the Indonesian Embassy in Singapore said it is coordinating efforts to provide further assistance and legal support to the family.

Hotel chain Ascott Singapore offered complimentary accommodation to Sheyna's father, who remains in Singapore while his wife is receiving treatment.

Meanwhile, the alumni association of Raisha's alma mater, the University of Indonesia, posted an appeal for donations on behalf of Raisha's husband, to be sent directly to his bank account.

Raisha sustained serious injuries in the accident, including internal injuries and fractures, and the fundraiser would help cover costs.

While in stable condition, she has not yet been cleared by doctors to return home to Jakarta, reported Indonesian news site Kumparan.
