A 23-year-old Vietnamese man fell from a 15th-storey room of Hotel Boss located at Jalan Sultan on Wednesday (29 March) at about 2.30am.
Chinese evening daily Lianhe Wanbao reported that Mr Nguyen Ngoc Duy’s body landed on the fifth storey. However, his head was found outside a fourth storey eatery.
Police are investigating the case as an unnatural death.
According to Lianhe Wanbao, the room was booked by Mr Vu Truong An, 21, an Institute of Technical Education student.
Mr Vu and Mr Nguyen were having a staycation with four other friends in the country.
The two were reportedly having an argument.
The reason of the fall is still unknown. However, Mr Vu rushed to seek help from hotel staff after the fall of his friend. The hotel staff then called the police.
Mr Vu himself suffered a slash wound on his head and was conveyed to a hospital. Fortunately, the man is in stable condition.
The Straits Times reported that a night-shift supervisor at Founder Bak Kut Teh, a restaurant on the hotel’s first storey, told the media that there were eight police cars due to the incident.
“It was a curious sight. I didn’t know what happened as I didn’t hear anything. Later on, I saw a hearse arrive,” the lady who wanted to be known only as Madam Lim told the Straits Times.
A notice was the put up for guests, informing them that there was no access to the fourth storey, which also has a swimming pool and a gym, due to an “unforeseen situation”.

没上过大专 回顾“海南鸡饭”创始人如何鼎立传奇

环境及水源部高级政务部长许连碹周一(11日)宣布,环境局、精深技能发展局与淡马锡理工学院合作,为理工学院和工艺教育学院的毕业生,推出为期12个月的“小贩攻读专业文凭深造课程”,着手学习经营摊贩。 该计划获得热烈响应,为此当局将在两年内把培训名额从现有100名增至300名,而加入培育新手小贩摊位也增至80名。 而该计划也会征求有经验的小贩成为“师傅”,手把手教导学生经营摊贩,而“师傅们”每月可获得500元至1千元的培训津贴。 此外,当局也会预算安排摊位和15个月的补贴租金,为有抱负的新手小贩提供支持。不仅如此,许连碹也表示小贩也会获得数码化方面的支持。 许连碹表示,随着逐步认同小贩文化和价值,设立小贩也被视为是进入餐饮业的大门,也能吸引有意在餐饮领域创业者投身小贩事业。 “海南鸡饭”的创业经历 值得关注的是,我国大部分小贩在经营小贩生意前,未有参加过任何结构性专业课程。事实上,一些年长小贩教育水平也不高,甚至有些不曾上学。那他们又如何在没有上过大专、课程下,一步步走向成功的? 提到新加坡想到的食物,一定是闻名四海的海南鸡饭。根据国家图书管理局资料显示,海南鸡饭最早是由王义元开始在新加坡售卖,再由我国“瑞记”餐厅老板,同时亦是其徒弟莫履瑞在50至60年代发扬光大。 之所以会称之为海南鸡饭,还要源自中国海南“文昌鸡”,而身为海南琼海市的王义元,为了学煮海南鸡饭,曾前往文昌县文成镇的“毓葵鸡饭店”请教养鸡及烫鸡技术。 1936年,王义元从海南远赴南洋,来到新加坡后,他发现新加坡境内有许多海南人,且大部分都来自文昌县,也许是为了解决思想之情,于是决定开始在当地买起鸡饭。 每天早上,他会提前先把饭煮好,弄成鸡饭团,并将白斩鸡煮了切片,方便客人街上吃,再手提两个竹箩在街上沿街叫卖。 随着生意逐渐叫好,王义元也开始在海南二街开始租咖啡店,把生意做大。然而,由于屋主换人,他被迫搬到了海南一街继续营业,并持续到退休,并在50年代在陈笃生医院逝世。…
