Audit chief dies in fall from office building
PUTRAJAYA: The head of internal audit of the Natural Resources and Environment Ministry fell to his death from the 14th floor of the building.
Tan Sing Kiong, 48, was found on the ground floor at 11.45am.
Putrajaya OCPD Supt Mohd Khalil Kader Mohd said Tan’s death has been classified as sudden death.
Tan leaves behind wife Yap Joo Teng, a teacher at a school in Cyberjaya, and three sons aged between 13 and 18.
Tan’s 15-year-old son Alvin, who was at the scene with his brothers and mother, said his father’s constant advice to him was to take care of the family if anything happened to him.
“My father was always stressed out at work and was under medication,” he said.
Also at the scene was Deputy Auditor-General Datuk Azizah Arshad who said Tan had wanted a transfer to Kuching after his secondment to Putrajaya but his request could not be granted as there was no vacancy.

hmmm…if fell to death is not classified as sudden death then what else?
It an employee is under stress and on medication, the least his/her boss can do is to look into his/her welfare; and prevent him from doing something that a normal family man would not do.

Gosh….. poor guy…..
(Assuming he is mostly or 100% sane) He must have been really between a rock nd a hard place if he thought that jumping off a building was the only option he had left.
(Some more jump from the 14th floor…. that is like a precursor for a Chinese ghost story)
