He did what none of the PAP MPs would have done if in a similar situation. He deserves more. MRT station should be named after him. He is still there. Body wasnt found.

The dogs will raise their legs & pee , the cats too, the birds will shit on it & flying by....the bench, soon will decay & no body will remember & quietly, they will remove it , in the name of UPGRADING.
Why don't they put a Memorial Plaque at Nicol Highway MRT Station?....scared, eh!? that Mr. Heng might return there....a bench far away safer....if you sit on it & gets ejected..Mr. Heng is home...
Well said! Will up your points tomorrow as I have use up today's quota
He is indeed a true hero and deserve more than just a bench as a memorial.

Heng Yeow Peow (Chinese: 王耀标), foreman
The body of the 40-year-old Singaporean was never recovered. According to survivor accounts, Heng had selflessly hurried his workers to safety but himself was trapped when the collapse occurred. Heng left behind his wife, two young children, his 70-year-old mother and nine siblings.

Colleagues pay respects to "hero" Heng in Nicoll Highway collapse

It has been 10 years since the Nicoll Highway collapse, but foreman Heng Yeow Peow's body was never found.
SINGAPORE: It has been 10 years since the Nicoll Highway collapse, but foreman Heng Yeow Peow's body was never found.
On Sunday afternoon, his former colleagues and bosses were at the place where the incident occurred to pay their respects to the man they remembered as a "hero".
"Say my thank you to Ah Heng..." says a Thai worker.
Ten years may have passed since the Nicoll Highway collapse, but emotions are still raw for construction worker Phornamdaeng Thiticha when he speaks of his former supervisor.
The Thai national was one of the eight workers Heng Yeow Peow pulled to safety.
The 40-year-old did not make it out himself and his body was never found.
In Heng's memory, his former colleagues from Kori Holdings have placed a memorial stone at the accident site.
And since then, it has been a yearly ritual for them to pay their respects to Mr Heng.
Mr Hooi Yu Koh, managing director of Kori Holdings, said: "Sometimes we meet up together, sometimes there may not be that many people. But probably because today is a Sunday. So many more came than previously before."
Among the prayer items were a pair of white gloves.
They were placed there by Mr Hooi, who said the gloves were given to him by the Singapore Civil Defence Force when he participated in the final attempt to locate Heng's body.
Mr Hooi said: "Those gloves have a lot of meaning to me. It is the last piece of gear I was holding in my hand. And it was the closest that I thought was nearest to him before the search needs to be called off. I still keep the gloves in my car throughout the 10 years till now."
Heng's colleagues said they hope to continue the yearly ritual for as long as they are able to.

Great idea.
How can you loose a body in a known work site area
They probably didn't look too hard because the body has no HOTA value.
At least this guy gets a permanent burial site unlike othe dead Sporeans.

Not only permanent, it is indestructible too, unless we are nuclear bombed....or they dig up the entire subway line...
because civil servants are like stool pidgeons

and just like stools and benches and chairs, they are for sitting on.if they are lowclass servants, then they are shit, for stepping on! since this servant got a bench, that means he is slightly better than shit, can sit on one!

Mr Heng, was a lesser mortal, is consign to be chair to be sat on & remembered, if he was somebody's known son & died, they will commission a statute of him & erect this at the crash site.
