  "account": "A woman, Dong Lihua, has filed a lawsuit against Sheng Siong and one of its employees for alleged negligence after she claims to have been struck from behind by a trolley carrying rice sacks at a supermarket branch in Clementi West Street 2 in March 2021. Dong alleges that the incident caused her foot and back injuries, leading to medical and transport expenses, as well as pain and suffering. Sheng Siong denies any negligence on their part, stating that the incident was due to Dong's own negligence. The supermarket chain argues that Dong suddenly emerged from the aisles into the path of the trolley, failing to notice the approaching trolley. They also claim that the supermarket did not provide enough space in the aisles, and did not train the employee to ensure a safe movement of the trolley. The case is still pending.",
  "summary": "She claims to have suffered injuries to her foot and back, and subsequently chronic pain syndrome and depression.",
