A netizen shared how he stepped on a rusty iron nail nailed onto a wooden plank left behind at a construction site that had since finished their works.
Here is the story:
“On 04/10, time around 9am in the morning. I walked passed BLK 589 and intended to cross Woodlands Ave 1 heading towards my work area next to the mosque up the hill at the front. After walked across the footpath and the moment my foot landed on the grass area, I then accidentally stepped on an unknown object hit in the grass. This object is then found to be the construction left over which is a small piece of wood with rusty nail attached to it. The nail punctured my sports shoe and poked into my foot and it caused me to loose balance and almost fall towards the road kerb.
(The contractor had just completed the footpath upgrading works)
With the pain that I suffered from the nail that still stuck in my foot, I have no choice to half squad and hold my pain and pulled the nail out from my foot and my shoe.
Unfortunately there wasn’t any passerby to help me then i have to sit on the floor to let the pain to settle slightly before I could head toward to see doctor with my limping leg.
I contacted LTA making such complaint the same day in the morning. The CS that answered my call ask me who, how, where and when then told me that an officer with private number will contact for further assistance. However, 24hr had passed, no one from LTA contact me and I did not receive any “private number” as of this present moment.
