<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"-->A CHINA worker who lost three fingers at work was offered $88,200 in Workmen's Compensation, but he said no thanks, and jointly sued his employer and another company.
Mr Ma HongFei's decision was vindicated last week, when he won an unusual judgment in court - he won one part of the suit, but lost the other.
But though he lost part of his case, he will not have to pay legal costs. The judge ordered that these will be borne by the company he sued successfully.
Mr Ma was worked at a site in Gul Road, Tuas two years ago. He was using a grinder when a 4m-long metal pipe fell from above and hit the index, ring and little fingers on his left hand. The impact thrust his fingers into the grinder, and crushed them.
He was taken to the National University Hospital for treatment, but doctors could not save his fingers, and they were amputated.
After investigations by the Ministry of Manpower, Mr Ma was offered Workmen's Compensation. But he refused, as he felt the sum was too low for the permanent disability he had suffered.
Mr Ma decided to sue both his employer, U-Hin Manufacturing, and the company he was sub-contracted to, BT-Engineering, which fabricates offshore equipment.
Last week, Justice Lai Siu Chiu found BT-Engineering negligent. However, U-Hin was not to blame, she said, as it was merely a labour supplier and could not be blamed.
BT-Engineering, on the other hand, was held liable because a temporary shoring at its worksite that would have held the pipe in place had been removed.
She thus ordered the company to pay damages, which would be assessed by the Registrar, as well as costs.

The regime is now troubled by some resourceful foreign talent who will resort to brinksmanship to get what they want.

Local peasants are subdued due to 2 years of useless national serfship 'training' and will usually accept the trash that is heaped on them by the regime.

[COLOR="_______"]So in Singapore the trend goes like this .
Merely a labour supplier and workers are out-source from another company . Owner, company and to even the court of law of Singapore want to play a game of Taichi !

Refute responsibilities ! [/COLOR]
