Mr Ou Eng Hock was hit by a mini-bus after he got out to help a female passenger with her luggage. The accident happened at Gul Circle on Friday morning.
When police arrived at the scene, the 57-year-old was already unconscious and was taken to the National University Hospital.
He died 14 hours later, at about 1am yesterday, without regaining consciousness.
The female passenger, 37, was also taken to the same hospital. It is unclear what her condition is. The New Paper on Sunday understands that it was a hit-and-run accident.
A police spokesman confirmed that the driver of the mini-bus has been arrested and investigations are ongoing.
Mr Ou was a taxi driver for almost 20 years. His family said that he was quick to accept responsibility for the family as a child.
He stopped his studies before completing primary school and worked odd jobs to support the family.
"His main priority was always to take care of his family," said the younger Mr Ou.
And Mr Ou's kindness was nothing out of the ordinary as he had always been compassionate towards others.
His brother said: "He often took part in charity events, where he'd help to distribute food to the less fortunate. That was the kind of man my brother was - always taking care of others."
