Is this the biggest taichi or not? Parents paid hundreds of thousands of $ for an over price HDB pigeon hole, HDB is so fucking cheap they will not even put basic window grills on the flat. 4 year old Boy falls to his death because there was no window grill, and the fucking cold heated bastard of a Law Minister K Shagyourmama blames the contractor for not installing window grills. Its logic that when the HDB sells a flat to a family, it has to be habitable and safe. A window grill is not a decorative part, its a safety component. Just like installing locks in the door. When its not safe, its on them. The parents should sue HDB. Even if they get the keys, it will take a contractor several weeks to finish the renos and if one of the item is the window grill, does the HDB expect them to live in an unsafe flat?
Boy's fatal fall from flat: Contractor was irresponsible, says Law Minister Shanmugam
A four-year-old boy fell from a ninth-storey window after the contractor failed to install window grilles in the family’s flat.
SINGAPORE: Action must be taken against an irresponsible contractor who failed to install window grilles in a Yishun flat in which a four-year-old boy fell to his death, Home Affairs and Law Minister K Shanmugam said.
In a Facebook post on Thursday (Oct 15), Mr Shanmugam, who is a Member of Parliament (MP) for Nee Soon GRC, said the contractor’s conduct was "shameful and irresponsible" and contributed to the tragedy.
The boy fell from an open window in the ninth-floor flat last Tuesday (Oct 6). He was alone at home at the time, media reports said. The family had just moved into the flat, and according to them, the contractor they hired had failed to do a number of works, including installing the window grilles.
Attempts to contact the contractor were unsuccessful, the father told Mr Shanmugam. Even after the tragedy happened, there was no apology or visit from the contractor, the father added.
“One can understand the parents’ anger, anguish. To lose a child like this because someone has not done what he is supposed to have done. And the conduct after the tragedy is shocking,” Mr Shanmugam wrote.
There must be steps taken against such contractors, he said. “We must help the family to get legal recourse. It won’t bring back the child, but there has to be some justice done. I have told we will help find a lawyer for the family.”
