There are only so few shopping complexes within the radius of this area.
Island Plaza,Tesco,Straits Quay.
Though I can't pinpoint exactly where this did happen,there's only one Chinese restaurant with the capacity to host a wedding dinner.
The floor where that particular restaurant is to be found,does bring out the goosebumps.
Your guess is as good as mine,if this is indeed his workplace.
Is the skyrocketing cost of living on the island to blame for his predicament?
Or the miserly ways of those with the power to give them more moolah the root cause of it?
Certainly does not help when the streets are jarringly awash with money,the jetset euphoric with obscene property prices,while those entrenched in heart wrenching poverty just cannot find a life worth living ,trying to make ends meet,ekking out another day of misery.
When it comes to tragic endings.even spouses of famous and rich coffeeshop owners are not spared the scourge of depression.Thus when a famous place reknowned for its curry mee,was closed for a week,rumour had it,that it was because the shopkeeper's wife had thrown herself off a building near the jetty when she could not take the countless hospital visits anymore.
What more a mere manager.
Condolences.

Manager Found Hanged In Shopping Mall
(The Star-22 Nov)
GEORGE TOWN: A restaurant manager was found hanged in a shopping complex in Tanjung Tokong here.
Ooi Boon Leong (pic) was found hanged with a nylon rope around his neck near the Chi nese restaurant where he was working.
His colleagues had gone around looking for him after he failed to turn up for work despite having kept all his personal belongings at his workplace.
One of them then found Ooi’s body at about 11am yesterday and alerted the police.
It was learnt that Ooi, 39, had recently separated from his wife and was heavily in debt.
It was also learnt that he had sent an SMS to a family member whom he was asking for help with his funeral arrangements.
Colleagues also said Ooi had worked a day before his death as there was a wedding dinner at the restaurant.
George Town acting OCPD Ahmad Bakhtiar Kassim said the case had been temporarily classified as sudden death as investigations were still being carried out.
He also said police were waiting for a post-mortem report.
