I have been following up on story about the young Thai girl, who came to Singapore to study and met with an accident. She fell onto the tracks, luckily she is still alive, but lost two of her legs. Parents came down to Singapore, and the young girl is now back to Thailand.<\/p>\n
The family has to settle the huge hospitalisation and medical fees. SMRT gave her $5,000. And, our media took pictures of her appearing relaxed and happy, as she left Singapore. In my mind, this is a rediculous amount, coming from SMRT.<\/p>\n
Today, I read that some anonymous donors have given $250,000 to the young girl. Is SMRT afraid of setting precedents? Is SMRT afraid that they will take over the role of the insurance companies? Can you help me uderstand SMRT’s thinking?<\/p>\n
