She found a cubicle in the toilet at West Coast Park ablaze. Upon kicking open the door, she saw Madam Wee, 68, seated on the toilet bowl, with her whole body in flames. They were too strong for her friend and some passers-by to put out. Madam Wee, who had gone to the park with her friend last Friday, was pronounced dead by paramedics when they arrived after 8.30pm.

Two lighters and thinner were found in the toilet, according to a report in Chinese newspaper Lianhe Wanbao. It also quoted her friend as saying that Madam Wee had told her she had debt problems with loan sharks.

When The Sunday Times visited Madam Wee's four-room flat in Jurong West yesterday, no one was at home. According to Lianhe Wanbao, she lived with her son, daughter and daughter-in-law. A neighbour, who would give her name only as Madam Tina and who lives one floor below, said she saw Madam Wee at about 11am last Friday. 'Her hands were clasped together and she was looking down as she walked. She looked like she was troubled and in deep thought,' she said. Madam Tina recalled a time when her family was constantly awakened by the sound of loud, pounding footsteps and chairs being moved about in the middle of the night. That stopped after she spoke to Madam Wee's daughter about the matter.

Ah Loong did not burn her house and yet she burnt herself?

Since she does not what to live any more, she must hug Ah Loong and before she lit herself, die together mah! Don't let go mah.

 

[kaipoh]

LKY said "no one will go to soup-kitchen or go begging" why she torches herself?

 

[uncleyap]

The bloody famiLEE LEEgime squandered SG reserve to save their own lame ass, but not poor peasants like her. The reserve is her $$$$ too!

famiLEE LEEgime plundered these $$$$ from her and then squandered it only to save themselves and their own cronies and running dogs, leaving poor peasants like these to die. More GOODYEAR of course! Now we know what it meant, not Good Year but GOODYEAR!:oIo:
Yeah! Surely got more to come!

As this sort of time goes by, more poor Singaporeans will die. No need for soup kitchen because dead peasants need not be fed at all. Petrol is still too expensive, so thiner will be popular. More GOODYEARs to come!

famiLEE LEEgime :oIo::oIo:

​

A 68-year-old woman died after she was found burnt in one of the public toilets along West Coast Park on Feb 6.

Johnson was in the vicinity at about 8 pm, and caught sight of police officers and SCDF personnel milling around the area.

He describes the scene:

"I witnessed this in West Coast at around 8pm.

"An ambulance, a police car, a civil defence Rhino and I think there was also a fire engine there.

"They rushed into the ladies' toilet next to the playground and then immediately cordoned off the area including part of the playground.

"Then, I saw an old lady crying.

"A policewoman was consoling her. More policeman came and took many photos as many flashes can be seen coming from the toilet. Some plainclothes officer came and went into the toilet.

"Some policemen were also searching the area with flashlights as if looking for something."

The SCDF says it received a call about this incident at about 2033 hrs.

A female Chinese, 68, was found burnt at West Coast Park in one of the cubicles in a public toilet.

The woman was pronounced dead by paramedics at the scene.

The police have classified this as an unnatural death and are investigating.

According to a Lianhe Wanbao report, two lighters and thinner were found in the cubicle.

The paper also quoted the deceased's friend as saying the former had loan shark problems.
