TWC2 appealing for donation...will you give?

[JossSticksCandleWax]

An attention-seeking person, if you ask me. Such events are perfect platform for people like these to gain come media coverage to their otherwise, pathetic lives.

I totally agree with you! These idiots asking for donation are just out to make money using whatever incidents they can find.

I have spoken to one Bangla dum, dum, who had seek help from people of that kind...he was injured in an industrial accident, do you expect his employer the contractor to be benevolent? of course, can cut cost, can avoid paying medical fees...they will will, what we call "siam"!. So these NGO he met at Tekka helped him...guess, who "milked" him of all his claims, he got ? the same type of people that is asking for donation...

The 'lawyers' charge him fees, & on a hourly basis, every thing they do, they charge out of pocket expenses...all he got in the end , was a very little, enough to go home to Bangladesh & not much to survive for long there after. Had that this Bangla dum, dum, claimed Workmen's Compensation through his contractor & waited...he would have certainly got more...

These people are not that kind...it is still money making...who does anything for free..you can ask the PxP...

If they don't mind explaining how the victim was intoxicated and causing trouble in the bus, and how he probably refused to accept the fact that he was not allowed to board, thereby putting himself in a position to be hurt by the moving vehicle, I'll consider donating.

This was what the drunkard did.

The 33-year-old Indian national who died after being run over by a bus was drunk, said Singapore police in new details that emerged from its investigation into an accident that triggered the first riot in Singapore in more than 40 years.
In a press conference on Monday afternoon, police told local media that the man, reportedly identified as construction worker Sakthivel Kumarvelu, was drunk and causing trouble when he boarded the bus that eventually ran him down.
According to local media, the bus was full but he climbed on anyway and started to cause trouble. The bus was ferrying workers from Tekka Lane back to their dormitory in Jalan Papan. At one point, Sakthivel pulled his pants down and the bus driver asked his female timekeeper assistant -- in charge of keeping the bus running on schedule -- to get him to alight, reported Today newspaper. Channel NewsAsia reported that the female timekeeper on (the) bus (was) assaulted" before the 55-year-old bus driver closed the bus doors.

Moments later, as the bus turned into Race Course Road, the driver heard a soft thud at the side of the bus -- Sakthivel had been knocked down and caught under the bus' left tyre.
After the accident, the crowd outside the bus became "agitated", attacking the bus driver and timekeeper by throwing bottles, stones and dustbins at the bus.
Police reportedly said they were unable to confirm whether or not the rioters were drunk, and are interviewing others apart from the 27 alleged participants who were arrested on Sunday night.
The bus driver, a 55-year-old Singaporean, was arrested and is out on bail. He will be charged with causing death by a negligent act, said police. If found guilty, the driver is set for a maximum penalty of two years' imprisonment, a fine, or both.
Of the 27 alleged riot participants aged between 23 and 45, who were arrested at the scene on Sunday night, police said 24 of them are Indian nationals, two are Bangladeshis and one is a Singapore Permanent Resident. Some of these may be charged on Tuesday, police reportedly said also.
