死者的侄女(左)和妻子无法接受他去世,在殓尸房哭得呼天抢地。

 

中国管工疑在狮城工作被伊蚊叮死,家人来新向雇主索赔,价码节节高升,从10万到20万再增到50万,最后更扬言不赔60万就不领尸不火化!

 

《联合晚报》日前报道,一名来自中国江苏的建筑工地管工周世强(43岁),疑患上骨痛溢血热症,发高烧5天后,上个月25日猝死。他的妻子、独生子、侄女急忙赶办手续,星期日抵新处理后事。

 

死者的家人认尸时,向记者哭诉死者的雇主处事不当,要他赔偿50万新元,若谈不妥就坚持不火化死者的遗体。

 

死者的侄女周云说,叔叔过世前一天还拨电回家,没想到隔天却接到他病逝的消息,令他们非常震惊。据了解,死者的家属抵新和雇主见面后,起初要求赔10万,过后增加到20万元。

 

她们星期一认尸时又告诉记者,要雇主赔偿50万元。不过据记者向雇主李先生询问,死者家属要求的最新赔偿是60万元。

Basically this 43 year old construction worker got stung by a mosquito and died of dengue after 5 days.

 

His wife, son and 2 niece rushed down from China.

 

Their demands for compensation went from $100k to $500k to $600k. Unless they are compensated, they refuse to cremate the body.

 

According to the employer, he had ferried the family to the PRC embassy and MOM but the family accused him of ill treating the deceased by not providing proper accomodations.

Aiya....Singapore seems to be famous for treating FT, PR and Tourist better than citizens.

These talented FT are not stupid. They know they will get what they asked for.

Why not ask for more...and then settle on partial settlement?

 

Ask for $100k maybe get $30k.

Ask for $600k...maybe can get $100k eventually.

 

Sometimes....I feel we citizens should also demand more and speak up more!
