Man who died after falling in bus went for dialysis regularly, ate healthy and exercised to stay alive, says family.
Despite suffering from renal failure, he was determined to be as healthy as possible so he could see his five grandchildren - with one more on the way - grow up and shower them with affection.
For that, Mr Siah Keok Tiang would take the bus and go for dialysis, three times a week.
On Wednesday last week, while returning to his home in Bugis from the Sakyadhita-NKF Dialysis Centre in Upper Boon Keng Road, the bus he was on, service 175, suddenly braked.
Mr Siah, who had just got up from his seat, lost his footing and fell hard, suffering a head injury and multiple fractures.

"But because my son had just been born, he wanted to be healthy. He made sure to eat healthy and would go on walks.
"He would also wake up early to go to the dialysis centre for the four-hour sessions even though they were uncomfortable."
Mr Siah said his father, who was conscious the first few days in the ICU, appeared dazed and confused and did not seem to be able to recognise family members who visited.
On Monday, the family found out the full list of injuries the elder Mr Siah had suffered, including a damaged spinal cord. Though surgery was needed, there was too much risk, given the extent of his injuries.
Over the next couple of days, Mr Siah's condition deteriorated, and the family was informed late on Wednesday night that their father had suffered a cardiac arrest. They resuscitated him, but he died at around 7am yesterday.
Daughter Siah Hwan Ling, 30, said: "We have seen our father overcome so much in life... to see him go like this is heartbreaking."

Ms Siah, who wrote about her father's fall on Facebook, said she has been receiving a lot of online support from strangers - including from those whose loved ones suffered injuries from similar accidents.
Ms Siah recounted how her father, who had worked in courier services before his renal failure, had encouraged her mother to move into her flat with her family, while he lived alone, when Ms Siah's second child was born two months ago.
He wanted his wife to help look after their grandchildren. That was typical of her father, said Ms Siah. He was a doting grandfather and an independent man.

"He loved all his grandchildren a lot and would visit them often. He would buy them their favourite things, including foods such as kueh and piglet mooncakes," she said.
Ms Tammy Tan, senior vice-president of corporate communications at SBS Transit, said that the company is very sorry to learn of Mr Siah's death and is assisting the family.
Ms Siah urged motorists to show courtesy on the roads.

PHOTO: "爸爸，没有了你。我们再也不完整。我知道你为我们在撑下来，我一直很坚定，很坚强，因为我知道你一定在加油。我当然也不会放弃，希望你快快好起来。
每当我看见医生，他们都会叹气说，你爸爸伤的很严重。而且随着年龄老化，身体要恢复起来要很长时间。他们尽量能帮助你让你恢复，可是每个医生都会说，如果你要恢复到之前一样，是很难的。可是我还是不放弃每一个能帮你的方法，因为我看着你在这么多次重病理，都在你的倔强还有不放弃的精神理，你都好起来，而且还比以前更好！我能做的，我都做。能拜的神，我们都拜。我们也找了很多人为你祈福。就是希望会有多一次奇迹出现。
谢谢你的坚强，让我们再和你多一周的时间陪伴你。我相信普通的一个人，伤的这么严重，一定熬不过来。可是我的 Superman, 你还坚强了一周。
爸爸，真的很谢谢你所为我们做的一切。就算要洗肾，很辛苦但是你为了要和我们在一起久一点，你改变了生活方式，饮食习惯，就为了盼与我们的时间更长更久。我知道你从来都不偏心，你都爱每个孩子，媳妇女婿和孙子。就是因为这样我们一家人的感情这么深厚。你总是买我们爱吃的食物，每次过来都带了一堆食物过来，还有特地买了孙子最喜欢的食物，就是要让他们开心。我每次都叫你不用花钱在他们，你自己花多一点钱在自己。你都说不用紧啦，给我的宝贝孙子们吗！
我很庆幸，在前几年我都住在 Bugis 陪你一直到今年，因为有多一个孙子给你抱抱，所以没办法要搬回自己家。我只是借妈咪一段日子，到了我去做工就会把妈咪还给你。我每次都怕你孤单寂寞，都会问你要妈咪回来陪你吗？你都会说，不用啦，我自己会照顾自己，叫她帮我好好照顾我的宝贝孙子们。
爸爸，还好你在前两次都好起来，才能看到我们结婚生子。也当然还好我有在我的结婚的 video 里给你我满满的爱，让你知道我爱你。这几个月里因为产假，所以经常和你在一起。也还好有一次，我可以买了 rojak 和 Mua Chee, 跟你一起在家里坐在沙发上吃，我还喂了你和妈咪吃。很幸福吧！就是因为你的这么多次的坚强，让我有这些福分与你在一起。
你也是一个很坚信一些华人礼俗的，我相信真的因为你为我们好，所以在15/09晚上7pm心停止了又被救回来是因为不要我们晚辈辛苦。因为我记得你有说过，一个人去世的时间会让晚辈辛苦还是比较好都要看那个时间。直到二哥说到这个我突然想到你有说到这个，可是我没以为意，二哥也不知道你有说过。就是因为你的坚信和坚强，你还回来继续熬到早上。十二个小时了，就在天突然亮起来，你的心跳也突然往下掉到 0。你已经这么辛苦了，你还是在你的最后的时间里为我们做这一切，撑到最后。
谢谢你爸爸！你是一个最好的爸爸，最棒的爸爸。你所谓我们做的一切，我们很感恩。在你那里我学到了很多，我也会记得你总是说的，要好好培养下一代，要让他们比自己更好。就这样一代比一代跟好。我也要谢谢你总是给我们最好的，自己总是省一点。吃也吃最便宜的，穿的衣服也都没几套。爸爸，你是最值得往西方极乐世界去。你去吧，不用担心我们。我们会好好的。知道吗！我永远爱你！感恩有你，我的爸爸！谢谢你所谓我们做的一切一切！
— with Low Sok Luang and 6 others."
"Dad, without you. We are no longer complete. I know you are supporting us. I have always been sure and convinced, because I know you must be cheering us on. Of course I will not give up, I hope you get better soon.
Whenever I see the doctor, they will sigh and say, your father is seriously injured. And with age, it takes a long time for the body to recover. They try their best to help you recover, but every doctor will say that if you want to recover to the same as before, it is difficult. But I still don't give up any method that can help you, because I saw you with the never give up mentality. So many times, all because of your endurance and the mentality of not giving up, you become better, and it is better than before! I will do everything I can. We all pray to the God we worshiped. We have also found many people to pray for you. I just hope that there will be one more miracle.
Thank you for your strength and let us stay with you for another week. I believe that an ordinary person with such a serious injury would not be able to survive. But my Superman, you have been strong for a week.
Dad, thank you so much for everything you have done for us. Even if the kidney dialysis is required, it is very hard, but you change your lifestyle and eating habits in order to stay with us for a longer period of time, just to hope that the time with us will be longer and longer. I know you are never partial, you love every child, daughter-in-law, son-in-law and grandson. It is because of this that our family's feelings are so deep. You always buy our favorite foods. Every time you come over, you bring a bunch of foods. You also buy your grandchildren's favorite foods just to make them happy. Every time I tell you not to spend money on them, but to spend a little more money on yourself. You said it doesn't matter, it's for my baby grandchildren!
I am very fortunate that I lived in Bugis a few years ago and stayed with you until this year, because I have one more grandson to hug you, so I can't move back to my own home. I just borrow Mommy for a while, and I will return Mommy to you when I go to work. Every time I am afraid of your loneliness, I will ask if you want Mommy to come back and accompany you? You will say, no, I will take care of myself and ask her to help me take good care of my baby grandchildren.
Fortunately, Dad, you got better the first two times before, you could see us getting married and having children. Of course, it’s fortunate that I have given you my full love in my wedding video, letting you know that I love you. Because of maternity leave in the past few months, I have been with you often. Fortunately, once, I was able to buy rojak and Mua Chee, I ate with you on the sofa at home. I also share with you and Mommy the food. So happy! It is because of your strength that so many times I have these blessings to be with you.
You are also a very strong believer in the etiquette and customs of some Chinese people. I believe that it is true that you are good to us, so when your heart stopped at 7pm on 15/09, it was revived because you don't want us to suffer. Because I remember you said that the time when a person dies will make the younger generation harder or better, depends on that time. Until when Second brother said this, I suddenly remembered that you had said this, but I didn't take it seriously, and Second brother didn't know you had said it. It is because of your firm belief and strength that you still come back and continue to stay up until the morning. Twelve hours later, when the sky suddenly lit up, your heartbeat suddenly dropped to zero. You have worked so hard, you still do all this for us, for the last time, until the end.
Thank you dad! You are the best dad, the best dad. We are very grateful for everything you have done for us. I have learned a lot from you, and I will remember what you always said, to train the next generation well and make them better than ourself. In this way, generations after generations become better and better. I also want to thank you for always giving us the best, and lesser for yourself. You eat the cheapest, and have only a few sets of clothes. Dad, you are the most worthy of going to the Western Paradise. Go ahead, don't worry about us. We will be fine. Do you know! I love you forever! Thank you, my father! Thank you for everything you have done for us! — with Low Sok Luang and 6 others."

每当我看见医生，他们都会叹气说，你爸爸伤的很严重。而且随着年龄老化，身体要恢复起来要很长时间。他们尽量能帮助你让你恢复，可是每个医生都会说，如果你要恢复到之前一样，是很难的。可是我还是不放弃每一个能帮你的方法，因为我看着你在这么多次重病理，都在你的倔强还有不放弃的精神理，你都好起来，而且还比以前更好！我能做的，我都做。能拜的神，我们都拜。我们也找了很多人为你祈福。就是希望会有多一次奇迹出现。
谢谢你的坚强，让我们再和你多一周的时间陪伴你。我相信普通的一个人，伤的这么严重，一定熬不过来。可是我的 Superman, 你还坚强了一周。
爸爸，真的很谢谢你所为我们做的一切。就算要洗肾，很辛苦但是你为了要和我们在一起久一点，你改变了生活方式，饮食习惯，就为了盼与我们的时间更长更久。我知道你从来都不偏心，你都爱每个孩子，媳妇女婿和孙子。就是因为这样我们一家人的感情这么深厚。你总是买我们爱吃的食物，每次过来都带了一堆食物过来，还有特地买了孙子最喜欢的食物，就是要让他们开心。我每次都叫你不用花钱在他们，你自己花多一点钱在自己。你都说不用紧啦，给我的宝贝孙子们吗！
我很庆幸，在前几年我都住在 Bugis 陪你一直到今年，因为有多一个孙子给你抱抱，所以没办法要搬回自己家。我只是借妈咪一段日子，到了我去做工就会把妈咪还给你。我每次都怕你孤单寂寞，都会问你要妈咪回来陪你吗？你都会说，不用啦，我自己会照顾自己，叫她帮我好好照顾我的宝贝孙子们。
爸爸，还好你在前两次都好起来，才能看到我们结婚生子。也当然还好我有在我的结婚的 video 里给你我满满的爱，让你知道我爱你。这几个月里因为产假，所以经常和你在一起。也还好有一次，我可以买了 rojak 和 Mua Chee, 跟你一起在家里坐在沙发上吃，我还喂了你和妈咪吃。很幸福吧！就是因为你的这么多次的坚强，让我有这些福分与你在一起。
你也是一个很坚信一些华人礼俗的，我相信真的因为你为我们好，所以在15/09晚上7pm心停止了又被救回来是因为不要我们晚辈辛苦。因为我记得你有说过，一个人去世的时间会让晚辈辛苦还是比较好都要看那个时间。直到二哥说到这个我突然想到你有说到这个，可是我没以为意，二哥也不知道你有说过。就是因为你的坚信和坚强，你还回来继续熬到早上。十二个小时了，就在天突然亮起来，你的心跳也突然往下掉到 0。你已经这么辛苦了，你还是在你的最后的时间里为我们做这一切，撑到最后。
谢谢你爸爸！你是一个最好的爸爸，最棒的爸爸。你所谓我们做的一切，我们很感恩。在你那里我学到了很多，我也会记得你总是说的，要好好培养下一代，要让他们比自己更好。就这样一代比一代跟好。我也要谢谢你总是给我们最好的，自己总是省一点。吃也吃最便宜的，穿的衣服也都没几套。爸爸，你是最值得往西方极乐世界去。你去吧，不用担心我们。我们会好好的。知道吗！我永远爱你！感恩有你，我的爸爸！谢谢你所谓我们做的一切一切！

"Dad, without you. We are no longer complete. I know you are supporting us. I have always been sure and convinced, because I know you must be cheering us on. Of course I will not give up, I hope you get better soon.
Whenever I see the doctor, they will sigh and say, your father is seriously injured. And with age, it takes a long time for the body to recover. They try their best to help you recover, but every doctor will say that if you want to recover to the same as before, it is difficult. But I still don't give up any method that can help you, because I saw you with the never give up mentality.
