One particular victim, Bangladeshi construction worker Sudip Chandro Bhandro Joy, was quoted by the Straits Times as tearfully sobbing in the report :
----------------------------------------
The robbers took his wallet and cellphone, and since he attack, the University graduate and former teacher said he has been struggling to meet ends meet.
Although he has not completely recovered, he said he did not want to go for his follow-up appointments for fear of racking up more medical bills.
Already, his (also construction worker) brother has helped him cover more than $2000 in medical costs.
All he wants now is to go home and find work, Mr Sudip said, tearing up.
"If I don't send money, my wife has no money to buy milk (for my children)", he said.
In addition, he has not been able to make his monthly payments of $350 after taking a bank loan with his house in Bangladesh as collateral, he said.
If he does not make the payments soon, he said his wife and two children, aged two and four, may become homeless.
