SINGAPORE: A civil engineering company has been fined S$41,500 for damaging a potable water main, which caused 1.8 million litres of water to be lost, said PUB on Tuesday .
According to PUB, the head of the pipe-jacking machine struck a water main with a diameter of 700mm at a depth of about 3.7m below the road surface and punctured it. "Investigations revealed that Tong Shing did not carry out adequate site verification works to physically ascertain the exact location and alignment of the affected water main before commencement of works," PUB added.
In most civilized countries around the world, accidentally damaging public utility assets is a simple matter of compensating the asset owner for repairs and customer claims. But in Singapore accidents are not allowed 😂🤣

FGISBCunanan Can a Singapore court acquire extraterritorial jurisdiction over a foreign person? What does the Malaysian gov't say about this? This is a strange case. She is a writer from TOC, not TOC's Terry Xu. Dear Mr Lee, you should instead be suing that Indian Minister who said that Covid mutation came from Singapore and infected Indian citizens. You should also repatriate those medical refugees coming to S'pore who claim they feel safer in India.
