In 2012, her husband, Chandra Mogan Panjanathan, was killed after he was hit by a taxi hijacked by a Chinese national while operating a floor-scrubbing machine outside the Changi Airport’s Budget Terminal.
I wonder how long his sentence would have been if he had hit a local. Or more so, a well-off local returning from holiday.The driver who hit Chandra fatally is now serving a jail sentence of two years and one month for voluntarily causing hurt in committing robbery.
Along with the money came financial counselling for her to apportion S$200,000 to each of her four children, with the rest for herself.

Pretty much every individual I have seen receive a decent lump sum has blown it. I count myself in that as well ($160,000 profit from a house sale lost in a bad business). It's a lesson that has to be learned the hard way for some. There are individuals out there who only know how to take money of these people and nothing else I swear.the lynx wrote:Damn... what an idiot. Her husband's death is all in vain. Not saying that he died to give her money, but still, she ought to have the sense of stewardship since she was given a second chance in life after losing her loved one.
I cannot think that it is possible. The DPS insurance, unless nominated otherwise, automatically goes to the spouse, or children, or parents in that order, depending on the marital status of the deceased.PNGMK wrote:This story is no where near the worst I have heard in Singapore - the worse ones are when someone grabs the death cert and races to CPF to claim the DPS insurance before the widow realizes what the hell has happened.
