Daughters request for SBS to pay for transportation of
body
The daughters of a 66-year-old woman who died after being hit by
a SBS bus in Sengkang on Tuesday have requested for SBS Transit to
pay the bill for transporting her body to Malaysia for the
funeral.
However, SBS Transit has asked Kenix Lau, 33, the younger
daughter of the deceased Chan Ah Yong, to submit a proposal to
their management. The company could not be contacted on Wednesday
for an update on the family's request, according to the Straits
Times.
Chan’s funeral will take place in Seremban in Malaysia, where
her husband and two sons live, ST reported.
Chan, a Malaysian on a long-term visit pass here, had stayed at
her daughter’s flat in Block 232 flat for nearly three years.
On Tuesday morning, Chan was involved in a fatal accident while
crossing the road at the junction of Sengkang East Way and
Compassvale Road.
She was just 350m away from her daughter’s flat in Block 232
when she was hit by a SBS bus 159, which was making a right turn at
the junction.
The elderly woman was dragged under the bus for about half a
minute before the bus driver stopped the bus after being alerted by
other motorists. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
A 14-second Youtube video, taken from a car in the area of the
accident, had garnered over 300 views as of Wednesday
morning. It has since been removed from the site.
A resident from a HDB estate nearby said that after the
accident, the bus driver was seen on the phone and shouted at the
passengers to leave the bus.
The bus driver involved in the accident has been suspended from
work and is assisting the police with investigations, ST
reported.
