Simple: the goons at SPH are not journalists. They were not allowed to use the word 'victims' in the published article.

Never forget what kind of country you live in.

Many PSLE students who are learning Comprehension Cloze will it confuse to do this kind of exercise.

If come out in the examination, students must be the words passengers or victims ? Any idea ?

I would have used the term 'casualties', if the PAP regime is scared shitless of the negative connotations of 'victims'.

But no culprit was mentioned, lol!

@laksaboy is right.

The term "victim" implies the entire incident is that of a tort, and if there is a tort then there is always a tortfeasor.

The term "casualty" will leave the issue of liability wide open, and it tends to lean towards an accident that nobody was at fault.

Its best that you direct this query to our very brilliant edu minister Cotton Chan.

The flight number is a unique identifier, like all flight numbers.

In the case of bus accident, there are too many 58s and 170s etc. So it's not a unique identifier.

Cars, yes, the number plate is a unique identifier, but nobody reading it will know except the owner of the car.

Just compare the journalistic style between the SPH clowns today with the AMDK journalists 100 years ago.

pR exercise to erase the notion of victimhood from your minds. The term “victim” would necessitate recompense and restitution. In this case, SQ sees itself not only as not guilty of negligence, it is benevolent in footing the bill of every injured passenger. They will argue not every airline will undertake the goodwill, but they are SQ. Uniquely Sinkapoor
