Veteran Dishwasher Sinkie DIES

[JohnTan]

An elderly woman fell down in the toilet at home and passed away on Saturday.

Madam Tan Ngan Choo, 75, had fallen in the toilet but by the time her husband found out, she had already died.

Her husband called out for help immediately.

And the neighbours called the police.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force received a call at 8.24am but by the time paramedics got to the flat, Madam Tan was already dead.

Undertakers were later seen carrying the old woman's body away, while her daughter, Madam Carol Ng, 44, cried uncontrollably as her mother was taken away.

Madam Tan's death took her daughter by surprise.

"She would wake up very early in the morning, at 4am or 5am. She would usually go downstairs for a walk. She could still walk, albeit a bit slow," her daughter said.

Her mother and father have been living in their two-room rental flat at Block 25 Jalan Berseh for the past 10 years.

On the day that she died, Madam Tan was to have met her siblings in the morning for breakfast, her younger sister, who is 61, said.

Madam Tan was working as a dishwasher in Orchard before her death.

No such thing in real first world country. Monthly income given by govt would have been enough to stop working in such menial job.

the problem with bathroom tiles in hdb flats is that they are too smooth and sleek, and sinkies constantly splash water all over (a poor sinkie habit). it's high time to invest in slate or some cheap tiles that are rough on the surface. sinkies can rub their feet on the floor and exfoliate their thick hide.

Why need CPF monthly draw outs when you can work as a dishwasher till you drop dead? See, PAP thought of everything. PAP is your friend.

It's immaterial whether PAP is your friend or not. What is relevant is whether you're PAP's friend or not.

Their calculations are based on the lifespan of Old Fart. He's the average guy, the lesser mortals bring down the national average.

If you want to be PAP's friend, be an RC volunteer. That is the lowest level of friendship. You can climb the ladder of friendship by later joining the CCC or NTUC leadership. If you are a President Scholar, you can fast track to the Circle of Trust just like Kee Chiu and Uncle Tan.

And if you're lucky, you might just get invited for year-end retreats.
