Cable job costs teen his life

SHE had signed up for a SingTel Mio TV package as her husband wanted to catch football matches on the cable network.

When a technician arrived at her flat at Block 310, Bukit Batok Street 32 for the installation on Wednesday, Madam Aminah Amat, 55, a domestic cleaner, thought it would be a routine procedure.

It turned out to be fatal.

The technician, Mong Chu Da, 17, asked for a ladder so he could check the wires outside her ground floor flat. She gave him one and went back into her unit.

Minutes later, she found the teenager sprawled on the floor, shaking and curled up in a foetal position. He died in hospital less than two hours later.

Chu Da worked for a sub-contractor who does Mio TV installations.

It is believed that he had fallen from the 1.8m ladder and hit his head. His death certificate stated that he died of head injuries.

Traumatised by the experience, Madam Aminah wants to cancel her subscription.
