Life is fragile, and we never know when it will be taken from us. This case is a clear example of that:
On Saturday, 7 December, a domestic helper was involved in a hit and run accident outside Farrer Road MRT station.
Domestic Helper Killed In Farrer Road Accident ‘Was Like Family’ To Employers
It was just like any other day for the 49-year-old woman, who goes to Empress Market near Farrer Road MRT station daily to buy vegetables.
Afterwards, she would routinely eat breakfast at the market’s food centre with her sister and other helpers.
Unfortunately, that morning, she was involved in a fatal accident wherein she was hit by a car at a covered walkway outside the MRT at 6am.
The driver had lost control of the car, and it mounted the curb, hitting Ms Mantos.
A 24-year-old man has since been arrested in connection with the case.
She Was “Wonderful”
The 48-year-old woman, named Ms Lyn Ocampo Santos had been working for her employers for a whopping 15 years.
The couple, who are employers of the maid said that she was “like family to them”.
They told The Straits Times, “We are very sad. We miss her, her friends miss her and her colleague also misses her.”
She was also described as “wonderful” and was very kind and helpful, and had many friends.
She Had Plans To Go Home To Attend Older Son’s Graduation Ceremony
Perhaps what’s most heartbreaking is the fact that she had plans to travel home in March 2020 to attend her older son’s graduation ceremony.
She also volunteered regularly at a church, and on the day of the fateful accident, she had travelled to the market to purchase ingredients for a church event.
Her employer also said that they had plans to hold a memorial service for her, however, the date and time have yet to be confirmed.
We truly hope that Ms Santos’ family can find peace in these trying times.
