Cyclist injured in drain grating accident settles suit against PUB after one day of trial
https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/courts-crime/cyclist-injured-in-drain-grating-accident-settles-suit-against-pub-after-one-day-of-trial

“After one day of trial, a negligence suit brought by a cyclist against PUB was resolved on Wednesday, after he accepted a settlement offer from the national water agency.

The terms of the out-of-court settlement are confidential, with no admission of liability by PUB.”

Who want to repeat this pattern?

Oh....

Forgotten he is from Myanmar🤦

Not from PH.

I know some PH working here will not want to return to PH...many still don't like their current President.

For sure no Burmese wants to return to Myanmar in near term.😅

No admission of liability why settle?

PUB using our tax payer money to settle? Shouldn't that be public information as to what extend they should ahve been liable and where they have failed as a national agency?

Settlement without admission of liability is Normal practice.

Otherwise, it will open floodgate for STUPID people.

Anyway, I think you need to fire PUB CE

”PUB said it did not owe Maung Maung a duty of care, and denied that it was negligent.

It added that the probability of a cyclist suffering a moderate to serious injury from an accident involving a drain grating was 0.00001 per cent on an annual basis, and that the gap where his wheel got stuck was just 3cm.

PUB said if it were found to be liable for the accident, its functions as a statutory board will be "curtailed" as it would have to now "undertake the mammoth task" of inspecting and replacing more than one million gratings, according to ST.

PUB's lawyers also said, including this accident, there were only 12 verified incidents involving members of the public being injured due to drain gratings in the last 10 years since 2012.

PUB added that even if it was found to have breached its duty of care to Maung Maung, they argued that he was "contributorily negligent" as he chose to cycle on the road, instead of the park connector.”
