Next year's Halloween will certainly have a added sense of thrill...with the cleaner's voice echoing in the air...I'll be back, that's when the tigers started to roar in their den.
Be ready for a full house, most Singaporean are thrill seekers.
Dear Agnes, do you expect any humanity and compassion from Sun City Maintenance when they have been fined $4800 by MOM recently for violating rest days for their foreign workers? You expect the Zoo to show any humanity and compassion when the prevailing atmosphere set by precedents to blame the outsourced contracted-out party and push all the responsibility and arrangements to Sun City? The zoo attitude would be -this is your worker even tho' he works in the zoo and hence not our duty to pay for the miserable air ticket at least for a family member to come over but the outsourced company's problem.
This is an unfortunate event. Nobody has anticipated this to happen. No one is to be blamed or even responsible. Like someone said, should HDB be held responsible when someone leaps off his unit?
I agree with what most of you have said. My condolences to the family of the deceased person. But I think if someone wants to kill himself, there's nothing the zoo could do. I'm more worried about the animals, whether they will be safe from the public or not.
The fact that anyone can still climb over the ledge at the Tigers enclosure is pretty scary for me.
Secondly what is the compensation for the family who have been deprived of a breadwinner?
