 OCCUPIER’S LIABILITY: They claim ferry terminal guard was irresponsible SHAH ALAM: A COUPLE is suing the authorities for negligence over the death of their 4-year-old son who walked through a glass door at the Kuala Kedah ferry terminal last March. The boy, Foong Chun Yuan, sustained a deep gash on his thigh caused by glass shards. However, his parents were stopped from taking him to a hospital immediately as a security had demanded they hand over their particulars for compensation over the broken glass door.
Engineer Foong Kwok Mun, 40, and his wife, Ng Lai Kein, 39, a clerk, filed the suit at the High Court registry here yesterday through Messrs Halim Hong & Quek. They named the Marine Department director, the transport minister and the government as respondents. According to their statement of claim, Foong and Ng, from Petaling Jaya, took their family to the jetty to catch a ferry to Langkawi for a holiday on March 9 when the incident occurred. ”We were at the jetty at about 6am when Chun Yuan wanted to go to the toilet. As he was leaving the toilet, he walked through a black glass door,” they said, adding the glass shattered and a shard pierced his upper thigh. Chuan Yuan, the youngest of four siblings, had bled profusely. His parents sought help from a security guard at the jetty to send him to the hospital. The guard, they claimed, refused to help. He allegedly insisted they leave behind their particulars so that they could be contacted later for compensation for the broken glass door. This resulted in the loss of time, they couple. They also drove around in circles looking for the hospital as the guard refused to give them directions. Foong and Ng managed to find the hospital with the help of a motorcyclist but their son was unconscious by then. He was admitted into the intensive care unit at Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital. Three days later, Chun Yuan died from massive blood loss. His parents alleged that the guard under the management of the defendants did not offer immediate help, failed to assist them in taking the boy to the hospital, and was unprofessional and irresponsible in refusing to let them rush the boy to the hospital. They also alleged that the defendants failed to ensure that the amenities at the jetty were safe and or had an emergency medical kit at hand. They added that the defendants were negligent and responsible for their son’s death under the “occupier’s liability”. Foong and Ng are claiming for special and general damages, bereavement, exemplary and aggravated damages, and other costs and relief. |

Batang Kali Massacre: A lesson in truth?via The Malaysia Insider

 LONDON, MAY 10 — The UK government has suggested that the Sultan of Selangor was responsible for the actions of British soldiers in what is now known as the Batang Kali “massacre” of 24 civilian rubber plantation workers during the Malayan Emergency in 1948. On December 11-12, 14 Scots Guards surrounded and captured the Sungai Remok rubber estate. The women and children were separated from the men, who were shot and killed in a burst of violence. Bodies were mutilated, one beheaded. The village was torched to the ground. The official line was that the men were communists or sympathisers who were trying to escape, but other accounts have since surfaced depicting a cold-blooded mass killing without cause. Many have called it “Britain’s My Lai”, an allusion to the annihilation of the Vietnamese hamlet by US troops during the Vietnam War. In the High Court here yesterday during the judicial review of the UK government’s continued refusal to investigate the killings, counsel for the defendants, UK Secretaries of State for Defence and Foreign & Commonwealth Affairs, declared that any claim relating to the incident at Batang Kali should have been litigated in the courts of Selangor under its laws.
