ACCIDENT AT BOTANIC GARDENS
In a separate case, Mr Lim Fon Kui and Ms Wong Sung Mui are suing NParks over an incident at the Singapore Botanic Gardens on Jul 27, 2025. The statement of claim, filed on Apr 1 this year, did not state their ages.
The pair said they were walking beside Swan Lake towards the car park at Tanglin Gate at about noon when they tripped over a temporary cable cover installed for cables running across a pathway for a festival.
They said they suffered injuries in their falls and were taken by ambulance to National University Hospital.
They allege that NParks created a tripping hazard by laying electrical cables in a cover across a walkway used by members of the public.
The pair also allege that the agency failed to ensure the cable cover did not protrude from the path, provide adequate warning signs and reroute the cables so they did not encroach on the walking path.
Medical records filed with the claim state that Mr Lim was diagnosed with bruises on his right shoulder and right knee.
A separate medical report states that Ms Wong fractured her right knee and sustained abrasions to her right wrist.
