Cai Wanyuan ran a nasi lemak stall at Whampoa Makan Place.The 60-year-old man who died in the Whampoa HDB flat blaze in the wee hours of Monday had been dishing out nasi lemak at the hawker centre near his home for four decades.
Cai was found in one of the bedrooms of the sixth-floor unit at Block 76 Lorong Limau, and was pronounced dead at the scene, said the Singapore Civil Defence Force in a Facebook post. The younger Cai, who owns a roast meat stall, recounted the morning of the fire: "I found out at around 2am that my brother's flat was on fire. When I rushed over, I saw my mother sitting downstairs. She was frightened but unharmed. She was later taken to the hospital."
After the residents of the block were evacuated to the ground floor, Jiang said Cai's son arrived. He tried to call his father in vain."He would greet me every time we met. He's not that old, he doesn't have any health problems, it's really sad . I hope his wife and mother are well."
