The first time Low Boon Chuen slipped and fell along the common corridor at Block 1 Pine Close, all he sustained were some bruises. But when he fell again in the same area on Feb 3, the man had to be taken to the hospital. Low shared more about his harrowing experience in a Facebook post on Feb 24. According...
The surgery, medical appointments and physiotherapy sessions have cost him thousands of dollars, he said.
The man made a guess at why he fell at the same area, suggesting that the floor was slippery because of it was coated with epoxy paint. It was "even more slippery" during rainy days, he said.Hoping that others wouldn't slip and fall like he did, Low contacted Marine Parade Town Council, Housing Development Board and his Member of Parliament on Feb 4 and Feb 19.
"We have since reached out to the resident. We are sorry to hear about this incident and hope the resident is recovering well."
