Singapore’s hazy days might be over, but the family of a recently deceased elderly woman are currently up in arms making allegations of a haze-related death.
86-year-old Pang Moy was warded in the troubled Singapore General Hospital (SGH) back in September due to breathing difficulties, claimed to have been sustained when Pollutant Standards Index levels surged to ‘Hazardous’ levels.
According to her son-in-law, she went into the intensive care unit for 10 days due to severe lung infection and died on Oct 10, TODAY reports.
Even though Pang’s family claimed that the haze played a part in her death, SGH disagrees.
Acting Head for Department of Internal medicine Dr Cheah Kee Leong noted to TODAY that Pang passed on due to complications brought about by the infection, which were not haze-related.
“We have contacted the family to clarify their concerns,” says Dr Cheah.
