Luckily not happen to a man, or else quality of life affected.

Slowly and surely, the 70% sinkies will come to realise that a PAP government is an inefficient and bad government.

Everyone, go check your HDB lift door safety mechanism.
Personally checked mine a few months back and got the Town Council to have the faulty mechanism repaired.
I believe there are many faulty lift doors waiting to kill someone.

Re: Hdb lift horror !!! Made in china lift severed ah ma hand

How can modern lifts in a First World country have no sensors? This is one of the most, if not the most, important safety features in a lift. There should be a class action lawsuit against HDB and all PAP town councils!

It has sensors but they are not sensitive.

I expected some PAP screw up in the medical field to cost lives & not something as innocuous incident with an elevator to be so dangerous.
Reminds me of the problem with the escalators causing deaths in China.

However I'm not surprised that something like this is happening in safe Spore. Just look at all the problems we've been having with trains breakdowns, flash floods, dengue, death in our hospitals,...

Simple, just blame the delivery men, movers or contractors for stopping the lift doors with carton box paper.

Again another example what we have become under the pappy-1st world prices for 3rd world quality.
The price you pay for your HDB pigeonhole can buy a nice condo in many countries.

Good ! Off comes the hand that wrote the X next to pappy logo on the ballot paper

It used to be "don't bite the hand that feeds you"

PAP gives the old saying a new twist - sever the hand that voted for you!

All the capable foreigners have gone to the US, Europe and Australia, that's why the foreigners we hire to build and manage our infrastructure do a poor job of it and we end up with so many hiccups.

Poor thing. I do hope her amputation surgery was subsidised by Pioneer Package or Medishield Life or CHAS, or whatever that thing is called.

Looking at the photos, can tell from the cheap looking chrome that these are sigma lifts. My block's upgraded sigma lifts broke down more times in 1 year than the old fujitec lifts in 35 years. These lift do have sensors, which most likely failed. The old lady must have thought that she could tap the doors to open them like the old lifts.

Strumming my pain with its doors,
Screwing my arm with its jamb,
Killing me softly with this lift,
Killing me softly with this lift,
Leaving my arteries numbed with bloods,
Killing me softly with this lift,

Sensors are useless....go old school and have those safety door edges which will repel the doors open once object is detected

Just saw the channel 8 news. Old woman entering the lift with her dog with a leash behind her. After she entered she realised her dog was still outside the lift. But lift car already moving upwards even though the door has no closed fully.

Old woman instinctively stick out her hand and tried to maybe activate opening sensor or pull her dog. But lift continue to move up with her hand sticking out. That's how her hand got severed. Also heard someone say got to grab a scissors to cut the dog leash. Not sure if the dog survived.

At least this didn't happen.

Should be similar to this. Forgot to mention old woman was stuck inside the lift with her severed hand dripping blood until scdf came to rescue her. Pity the first guy who saw the severed hand outside the lift.
