Maybe he shot past the red light for vehicles, coming from the left hand side.
If the pedestrian crossing light was green, then the road traffic light for vehicles would be red.
Looks like the cyclist broke the traffic rules.
We not sure how the traffic light on the cyclist side works. If the timing is the same as the one which the car is at, it's the car fault as the cyclist already cross it during amber.

Anyone knows if it is legal for cyclist to cycle across pedestrian crossings?

It's illegal to do so. Must push the bicycle over but a lot ignore it. Btw, the cyclist in the video is on the road, not from pavement to road. Can tell from the zebra crossing lights there. Anyway, a lot of cyclists cycle from pavement to road and back like they own it. Ring the bell like mad dogs barking and expected other to give way. Yet no policeman around to stop them. Want to point middle finger when I heard those bells ringing. See who scare who. Ha ha!
not too sure whether he is using the pedestrian crossing or cycling along the side of the road, and crossing the junction.
If ricohflex is right that the green man flashing, then the traffic light facing cyclist should hv been RED!

watch carefully.. the cyclist dash through when the red man is up..
when the green arrow for turning right came up, it should have been red man for pedestrian crossing..
so i think he dash through at the moment the red man came up..
he was cycling quite fast so i think its an unfortunate accident
That is a long straight road where the car that was video taping the accident is Xilin Ave. The cyclist was coming out from the left road which lead from the SMRT train servicing area.
If cars in the diagonally opposite junction were allowed to turn right, then the traffic light for vehicles along Somapah Road where the cyclist was, must be red. The cyclist ran the red light.
There might not be the case as (or maybe), both side traffic lights can turn red at same time. If so, the cyclist is crossing the road when it's amber (from the opposite traffic light). Just that driver panic, turn without checking.
This morning, I sure a few cars turn right even turn when already RED and the other side are GREEN at X junction. Luckily no accident else I sure go do witness, heh heh!
