Than run over and killed by lorry while hauling a load of cardboard in the hot sun and haze. Damn sad, 81 years old still have to work as garang guni woman. Don't tell me she got no CPF saved up? Maybe not allowed to withdraw at 81? I hate to say it when I see this sort of stories, but maybe the lorry driver did her a favour. Some asshole.....wait I think it was wooden, once said "No one will be left behind". Looks like plenty are left behind. At 81, she should be relaxing the rest of her remaining years playing with grandchildren. Not go out to the streets and make a dangerous living like that. Fucking PAP.

SINGAPORE - An 81-year-old woman was pulling a stack of cardboard sheets when she was run over by a tipper truck near the junction of Henderson Road and Jalan Bukit Merah in November last year, a coroner's inquiry found on Wednesday.

Retired nurse Chin Siat Keow died from multiple injuries in hospital about nine hours after the accident on Nov 30.

The coroner's inquiry into her death heard that tipper truck driver Toh Siong Thoh, 49, had stopped behind several unknown vehicles along Henderson Road due to the red traffic light at about 12.30pm that day.

He saw Madam Chin walking in the middle of the road against the flow of traffic and pulling a stack of cardboard along a slip road somewhere before the zebra crossing.
