All Deceased & Injured Workers In Tuas Industrial Fire Identified

The Tuas industrial fire that took place late last month claimed the lives of 3 migrant workers and critically injured another 5.

Since then, one of the casualties has been identified — a 38-year-old Indian national who passed away before he was able to see his 10-month-old daughter.

Today (2 Mar), welfare group ItsRainingRaincoats shared that they’ve identified 2 other workers who lost their lives in the accident, both of whom were in their 20s.

They are also appealing for funds to help the surviving victims, as well as the families of those who have sadly passed.

At the time of passing, the young Bangladesh national was just one instalment away from repaying the debt he had incurred to work in Singapore.

Prior to arriving in Singapore, Shohel reportedly told his father to stop working, as he would provide for the family.

He was also extremely caring towards his other family members. The Give Asia funding page quoted one of his brothers who said that,

Brother took care of all our needs and would get us things even before we could ask for it.

As both of his parents were unable to work, Ani was the family’s main breadwinner and even saw his siblings through school.

He was also a popular figure in his hometown and would extend a hand to anyone who needed help.

Though he had been working in Singapore for the past 17 months, Ani still has a substantial portion of his debt to pay off.
