Many things have been said and many topics have been debated about the plight of young Dominique Sarron Lee the past couple of days.
It's been over three years since the 21-year-old national serviceman unfortunately died during military training over an acute allergic reaction to the chemicals inside smoke grenades.
Legal battles were fought between the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) and the Lee family in the aftermath of the incident — but it was the most recent one that absolutely broke the soul of Dominique's mother.
After getting their suit against the SAF dismissed by the High Court, the anguish piled on for the Lee family when they were ordered to pay the legal costs to the Ministry of Defence.
