FOUR and a half years after a Bangladeshi worker was paralysed from the neck down after a 3.7m- high fall at a worksite in Singapore, he has been awarded S$971,000 (RM3.2mil) in damages from the subsidiary management corporation (MCST) of Westgate Tower.
Janaed, who goes by one name and is now 47, had spinal injuries after he fell while inspecting an overhead chiller in the mechanical and electrical room at Westgate Tower in Jurong East on Nov 8, 2018.
