Beats me.
Seriously, Sentosa shouldn't be held accountable for anything. That
guy was just being careless for not looking out for the stonefish,
and he was extremely unlucky to be stung by one and be so badly
affected by it.
I pity his plight, but I have nothing but criticism for what he's
doing. It's not as though the Sentosa Corporation intentionally put
the stonefish there to poison him, right? It's not as if the
Sentosa Corporation wanted him to get so badly injured,
right?
If he wants to sue someone, then he should have taken his former
employers to court or something for wrongful dismissal. Even then,
it won't be a clear-cut case, as the terms of his employment
contract may specify that he must be physically fit and able to do
his tasks.
What on earth is he thinking? This is Singapore, not the US. Here
we don't go about suing other people for dumb things like slipping
and falling in a building (as they do in the US).
I expect the Sentosa Corporation's lawyer to make a motion to
dismiss the case on the very first day in court, and I expect the
judge to agree.
