To distance himself from the attack on the Iranian school, Trump claimed that Iran also possesses Tomahawk missiles.

 

US media confirms: It was the US "Tomahawk" missile that bombed the Iranian elementary school; Trump previously claimed it was an Iranian "staged" attack.

5 workers hurt in fire at Tanglin Mall

Published on Jan 09, 2013

AN ELECTRICIAN was in intensive care last night after a fire broke out at Tanglin Mall.

The victim, who is in his 40s, was one of five colleagues hurt following an electrical fault in the building's switchroom.

He suffered 18 per cent burns and remained unconscious last night at Singapore General Hospital.

Two other men - one in his 30s and the other in his 60s - received burns to the face, head and neck.
The fire, which broke out at about 9.40am yesterday, is believed to have started when an "electrical flashover" - or unintended discharge of current - happened during a routine check.

Another of the five, a man in his 40s who wanted to be known only as Mr Chong, told Shin Min Daily News that he was overseeing the work on the ground floor when he saw a blinding flash and heard a boom. He was treated for discomfort in his left ear, while the fifth man, who is in his 20s, sustained slight burns.

The fire was extinguished before the Singapore Civil Defence Force arrived on the scene with a fire engine and three ambulances.

Although the main entrance was closed and announcements were heard telling people to evacuate, shoppers continued to enter the mall through side doors. They then milled around, despite the lack of air-conditioning.

Shop tenants also waited hopefully for the lights to return. But they said they were not too surprised by the disruption, as there had been other electrical faults since November.

The last major one happened on Dec 7, and involved power being disrupted for eight hours.

Yesterday's problem affected about half of the mall's tenants. They said the management started contacting them at about 1.30pm to tell them that "everything is back to normal".

Ms Rita Mohd, 33, who works at a children's clothing store opposite the switchroom, said the electricians were probably carrying out a routine check, as she had seen them daily.

The Straits Times understands that some of the five victims were from engineering firm Quality Power Management and others were based in-house.

A spokesman for the contractor said it was the first time its workers had sustained such grave injuries while on the job. Tanglin Mall declined to comment.

One tenant, who asked not to be named, said: "I can only hope the mall will help us accordingly. The last time a major power cut happened, we were still charged rent."

Trump ends trade talks with Canada after Reagan ‘anti-tariffs’ ad

 

work

 A person can work their whole life doing a meaningless, unfulfilling job while the world passes them by.

No family, no friends, no social life.

You just work, get paid, and then grow old and retire to nothing.

Stop and smell the flowers.

Work is not your existence.

Don't let a paycheck and a bigger office space dictate your life.

Singapore General Hospital apologises after Facebook user raises unhappiness over father's bruised hands: too late

We felt exploited by Singapore General Hospital (SGH) as we had put my father there in good faith but it turned out that the doctors were all junior residents who were incompetent and had used him as a guinea pig for their training/experiments while the senior doctor (Director) had turned a blind eye and refused all contact with us despite numerous request. He simply left my father in the hands of the resident doctors (respiratory dept) and his team. My father was staying in the A1 single room with all expenses fully chargeable and paid by us. His stay was certainly not on charitable grounds.

On 23rd Nov 2023, we were shocked to discover that my father’s left hand had numerous needle holes and looked bruised and swollen. My domestic helper who stayed in the room with him said that she had witnessed how the SGH staff have tried to collect blood by repeatedly inserting and removing the needle into various parts of my father’s hand as if they were figuring out which was the correct spot. This was the cause of all the holes and swell on his hand, apparently. When my sister enquired, the nurse replied that those procedures were administered by the doctor on duty and was not caused by the nurses themselves. They said they’ll check who was the doctor in charge then.

On 2nd Dec 2023, I was dumbfounded when I saw that my father’s right hand was all bruised and swollen. Upon checking with staff nurse, she said that it was the resident doctor who was responsible for the bruises. I then requested to see him immediately.The staff nurse spoke to him and said to wait as he would be available to meet soon after his rounds. 40 mins passed and when the doctor still hasn’t shown up,she ( staff nurse) called again to follow up. To my disbelief, she said that he had already left work as it was a Saturday. It is apparent that the resident doctor could not account for what he did and left the hospital when he knew I had expected an explanation.

How could SGH condone such acts of irresponsibility and incompetence amongst its doctors and nurses, allowing their senior doctors (Directors - Senior Doctor)to turn a blind eye and ignore us completely while their junior doctors were practicing on patients, treating them as guinea pigs. Rich or poor, every patient should be treated with dignity and respect. This unfortunate experience has definitely shattered all confidence we ever had of SGH.
