Hui Min's family to sue NS training Department for negligence

The family of Too Hui Min, the national service (NS) trainee who died after complaining of constipation, is suing the NS Training Department for negligence.

“We believe it was more than constipation and we want justice for our daughter,” said Hui Min’s mother Chin Kwee Choo, 52. (pic. right)

“How can a healthy girl die all of a sudden like this?” she asked.

Hui Min, from Geo Kosmo NS Training Camp in Kuala Kubu Baru, died at Slim River Hospital on Wednesday at 10.45pm after complaining of constipation.

The distraught mother said that despite passing with flying colours in her SPM examination last year, Hui Min did not have big dreams. The 7As scorer only wished to be a tour guide.

Chin said she and her husband Jong Sing were not satisfied with the explanation that their daughter died of toxic megacolon.

“We want to know what happened,” she said during a press conference.

(Good for the parents. I would too, if I were in the same situation. I've lost my child under their care and received no satisfactory explanation regarding her death. Hui Min's parents have every right to get to the bottom of this. Someone has to take responsibility for the tragedy. No amount of monetary compenasation to the parents can bring the poor child back. This ought to be a lesson for the authorities concerned. You're dealing with the lives of children whose parents have entrusted them under your care. )
