When the two children received the unfortunate news of the accident on 25 August, they had to borrow money from relatives in order to pay for the quarantine expenses.
According to Shin Min Daily News, Guo Mingju came from Malaysia and lived in Singapore for work. Ms Guo was saving up to buy a house in Malaysia for the three of them, and barely saw her children due to her strenuous working hours.
The accident took place while she was on her way to work in Sembawang. Her two children, Huang Shijun and Huang Peiyan who are 23 and 19-years-old respectively, couldn’t believe what happened at first.
Eventually, they contacted their aunt for assistance to travel down to Singapore. They had to borrow $6,000 from their family to cover all the costs of their Stay Home Notice (SHN).
