SINGAPORE - Foreign worker Marimuthu S. never got to meet his 10-month-old daughter.
When his wife gave birth to their second girl in India last April, Singapore was going through its circuit breaker period.
The last time he had been back home was in August 2019.
Last Tuesday night, the 38-year-old father spoke to his family over a video call for the final time.
The next morning, the site supervisor suffered serious burns in an explosion at a Tuas industrial building and was one of three workers who later died of their injuries.
