Compensation should be paid.(The Case of the Worker Who Lost an Eye)


[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]

Wangsa was a victim of the ploy. He played along with his employer as he felt threatened, and he was under stress as he had family commitments back in China.

Wangsa's employer should be severely punished with a fine of S$10,000 and he has to undergo compulsory safety training. The employer should take care of the safety of all employees. He should not push the blame to Wangsa and the gondola should have safety features such as an emergency stop button.

Compensation according to the insurance policy or at least following the Ministry of Manpower's guidelines should be paid to Wangsa.
