  • Toddler In ICU, Scalded By Hot Oil

    Toddler In ICU, Scalded By Hot Oil

    While she was cooking in the kitchen, her 15-month-old son, AafaaZuhayr Muhammad Al-Khair, wandered in and accidentally tipped over a hot frying pan she had placed on the kitchen counter to cool.

    He suffered second-degree burns when sizzling oil trickled down his body and arms. A week after the incident on June 22, he is still in the intensive care unit (ICU) of KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital (KKH), where he had a fourth operation on Monday.

    Madam Masshitah Abdullah, a 31-year-old marketing manager, is so traumatised by her son’s injuries that she dreads going home and being reminded of the accident.

    She and her property agent husband, Mr Muhammad Al-Khair Salahuddin, 30, have made KKH their second home as they pray for their baby’s recovery.

    Finding it difficult at first to accept that the whimpering toddler with a red swollen face was her son, Madam Masshitah said: “I kept asking the doctor if that’s my son.”

    Said Madam Masshitah: “I just wanted my baby. I couldn’t really hold him and could only see him from afar.

    “I’m so afraid to fall asleep. Whenever a doctor runs into the ICU, my heart would stop for a while, wondering if anything had happened to my son.”

    Worried sick about her baby, she lost her will to eat, having nothing more than just a cup of Milo every day since the incident.

  • Potty Training Near Restaurant at MBS For Caucasian Toddler

    Potty Training Near Restaurant at MBS For Caucasian Toddler

    It was definitely a sight that visitors would not expect to see at a world-class casino-resort.

    A beautiful Sunday outing was somewhat ruined for some visitors and diners at Marina Bay Sands resort yesterday when they saw a toddler doing her business in public.

    A woman from a group dining at the atrium area of a restaurant at lunch-time had arranged a potty for the girl to relieve herself, just a few metres away from their table.

    Instead of taking the girl, who looked like she was two years old, to the toilet, which was located nearby, the woman was tending to her without a care for diners dining metres away at two restaurant, or visitors who were walking past.

    Also nearby was a foodcourt which was filling up with a lunch crowd.

    Said a flabbergasted diner: “How can they let the girl do her business in public? They should just take her to a toilet nearby. It’s so near. Furthermore, she’s not a baby. She looks like she’s more than two years old.”

    Wait staff serving the group seemed oblivious to what was happening, as the toddler, partially hidden by a standy, was out of their view. She seemed quite happy to be ensconced on the potty for a good 20-to-30 minutes.

    After finishing her business, the girl was seen playing and running around the area with another young girl.
