$1M GONE IN ONE YEAR: WIDOW OF KILLED CHANGI AIRPORT WORKER IS NOW BROKE
By The Sunday Times, 08th June 2014
Two years ago, after her husband was killed in a freak accident while working at Changi Airport’s Budget Terminal, she received nearly $1 million in insurance payouts and donations from the public.
Today, that money is all gone.
Madam Pusparani Mohan, 34, is now looking for work in Singapore to support her four young children back in Johor Bahru.
“I made a mistake. People knew I had so much money and they all came to me. I am so stupid. I never buy house and finished all the money meant for my children.” Madam Pusparani told The Sunday Times from her home in Skudai.
She gave some of it away to relatives when she returned to her hometown in Kedah, then spent a portion of it on a holiday in Genting Highlands with her family. She also lost a chunk of it to a bad business investment – all in the span of a year.
“Now I don’t have enough for my children’s future.”
