A family shared their dismay online after discovering that their pet Shih Tzu Cindy was thrown away in a trash compactor after dying at a void deck in Toa Payoh. The family called on various authorities for an explanation, hoping better protocols would be implemented to avoid such mishaps.
The dog’s owner explained what happened in a Facebook post on May 26, noting that Cindy had passed away “due to misadventure” at the void deck of Block 214 Lorong 8 Toa Payoh. “We were all out for work, so we only knew she was missing after we returned,” said the owner.
