KUANTAN : A Singaporean motorcyclist was killed in the Malaysian state of Pahang after he was struck by a van on Friday.

Malaysian Police said Lee Kein Kwok, 25, died at the scene at Km 33 Jalan Jerantut-Temerloh, near Kuala Krau in Temerloh, at about 1.35pm.


Pahang traffic chief Superintendent Baharuddin Sarbaini said Lee, from Senja Road in Singapore, was riding in a group with three other Singaporean motorcylists.

He said Lee tried to overtake a lorry but his motorcycle was believed to have hit the rear of the lorry causing the machine to spin out of control.

Lee fell onto the path of an oncoming van and was fatally injured on the head, he told reporters.

His body was sent to Mentakab Hospital. - CNA
