The victims were rushed to Alexandra Hospital and the Singapore General Hospital, where the medical staff volunteered their services and worked overtime, out of their own volition, to attend to the wounded.17 The public also responded to the disaster by turning up in record numbers at the hospitals to donate blood to the injured.18
Two days after the accident, Jurong Shipyard announced that the demised employees’ next-of-kin would be compensated S$2,000, while families of sub-contract workers would receive S$1,000 as “immediate relief”. Families of the perished workers who were members of the Jurong Shipyard Multi-purpose Cooperative Society could receive an additional S$2,000. In the same announcement, the shipyard also said that it was setting up a special committee to collect contributions from employees for the bereaved families.19
