News| “The day she died, we died”: Mother of teen who died on school trip to the Maldives

[snapp]

'There's no moving on': 8 months on, parents of teen who died in Maldives still searching for answers​

St Joseph's Institution International says it has made repeated efforts to understand what happened to Jenna Chan, but has received no investigation details or evidence from Maldivian authorities.

​

"THIS FIGHT IS NOT FOR US"​

For Jenna’s parents, the fight for answers is about more than closure.

“On a personal level we would say Jenna cannot have died for nothing,” said Mr Chan. “But on a more societal level, we want to make sure that if there are gaps in regulation or loopholes, to basically prevent this from happening to other people in future.”

Dr Liauw said her daughter would have wanted her friends to be safe – and that is what drives her to keep pushing for accountability.

“My daughter, she loves her friends and she will never want her friends to be in danger,” she said.

“This fight is not for us … I’m fighting this because it’s wrong. No family should have to go through this.”

Why a kid need to go to maldive.
Cannot go ecp or sentosa?

 

[Vinda99]

The investigation will be concluded the day no one is around to ask any more questions about it

 

[articland05]

I'm quite surprise MOE simply dont care just because the school is private

Singapore's Ministry of Education (MOE) said on Tuesday it would not be investigating SJII’s handling of the incident, citing adherence to the school's overseas trip safety protocols. MOE also noted that SJII, as a privately funded school, operates independently of the mainstream education system.

They are not elite and powerful enough to hire someone to fight for answers.
