Tan’s injuries, a result of the fall, include shoulder, neck, shin, and spine pain. Despite medical clearance from Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, the pain is worsened, prompting Tan to seek a second opinion.
Both mother and daughter are understandably traumatized by the incident. Tan describes reliving the scene in her sleep, the helplessness, her daughter’s pleas, and the driver’s callous disregard.
“I haven’t slept much because the whole scene kept replaying,” Tan told AsiaOne.
“Me, helpless on the cold floor, looking at my girl wailing at the driver and asking him to come down and help, and him, getting down to shout at us – he challenged us while I was in pain.”
