Hotel chain Ascott has offered complimentary accommodation to the father of six-year-old Sheyna Lashira Smaradiani, who died in a car accident in Chinatown on Feb 6.
"Our hearts go out to Mr Ashar Ardianto and his family following this tragedy. Ascott would like to offer complimentary accommodation to support him during this difficult period as he stays in Singapore to be with his wife while she receives medical care," the hotel said in a statement on Feb 11.
The Indonesian embassy in Singapore told The Straits Times in an earlier statement on Feb 10 that Sheyna's mother, Ms Raisha Anindra Pascasiswi, who also sustained serious injuries in the accident, remains under intensive medical care at Singapore General Hospital.
According to the embassy, the family had expressed an intention to eventually transfer Ms Raisha to Indonesia for further medical care, but attending physicians have advised that she is not yet medically fit for evacuation.
The family was in Singapore on holiday when Ms Raisha and Sheyna were hit by a car in Chinatown. The two were taken to hospital, where Sheyna later died owing to cranio-cerebal injuries.
Her remains were repatriated to Indonesia on the morning of Feb 8.
