A death in the family is always tragic and things could get even more distressing if grieving family members get named and shamed on social media for holding wakes that apparently flout safe-distancing rules. 

Fortunately, there’s none of that antagonism here. Quite the opposite really, according to a Facebook post by Caleb Low, whose family was unexpectedly graced by the philanthropic efforts of Sheng Siong Supermarket. 

In his post on June 1, Low shared a recent encounter that one of his relatives experienced during the wake for his wife’s grandmother. The relative had noticed that a stranger tried to discreetly slip $200 into the collection box at the wake.

When asked, the stranger was said to have admitted that he was just a Sheng Siong employee carrying out the instructions of the management.
