PETALING JAYA:
The family of crane accident victim Joice Chin Khoon Sing is satisfied with the assistance given by the construction company BUCG Sdn Bhd.

As such, Chin’s elder brother, Khoon Ying, 26, said the family had decided against suing the company.

Star Online reported that the family had decided not to hold the company responsible even if the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) finds BUCG culpable in the accident.

“We’ve come to an understanding,” he told a press conference at Sunway Resort Hotel and Spa here.

“We now wish to put the tragedy behind us because prolonging it will only cause more pain.”

The family’s lawyer, Jason Ng Kau, confirmed the family had received monetary aid, the news portal added.

Joice, 23, was killed on Aug 25, a week before her 24th birthday, when the hook of a construction crane fell from 20 storeys onto her car as she was stuck in a traffic jam in Jalan Raja Chulan in Kuala Lumpur.
