SMRT has offered the Thai teen who lost both her legs in an MRT accident here a compensation of $5,000. However, 14-year-old's father has rejected the amount as it is 'unacceptable'.

 

On April 3, Peneakchanasak Nitcharee pitched forward onto the MRT tracks at Ang Mo Kio station. Since then, she has recovered well in Tan Tock Seng Hospital and has been undergoing physiotherapy.

 

According to a report in The Straits Times today (June 12), Mr Peneakchanasak engaged a lawyer last week to look into getting higher compensation from SMRT. It had offered $5,000, which he has rejected.

 

"Unacceptable. This is for a person, a little girl -- a little girl who had a bad accident. From today onwards, there will be more expenses, like the cost of her new legs and rehabilitation," Nitcharee's upset father told the press.

 

The Thai student will be heading home on Monday (June 13). Her wounds have healed fully, and she now moves around in her new electric wheelchair, bought with donations from the Singapore Rotary e-Club.

 

Said STOMPer christopher of the compensation offered:

 

"It is greatly disappointing that SMRT offered such a low and absurb amount of $5k to the Thai teen.

 

"Surely, we can do better than that.

 

"The $5k cannot even cover basic costs.

 

"Please be more humane."

is not SMRT fault actually...

 

but giving just 5K to the poor little girl is definitely not acceptable.

 

they can spend millions on unnecessary promotions but unwilling to be a bit more charitable to a young girl? [shakehead]

Did SMRT admitted that its their fault?

 

If not, by giving "compensation", they are indirectly admitting that its their fault?

 

If so...5K is a joke.

 

Either give appropriate amount and admit their mistake or don't give at all and deny all responsibility.
