Just goes to show how cheap a life is worth here in my opinion.

Pathetic amount, more of an insult than compensation.

[Foghorn]

How about prison sentences for all involved in turning a blind eye to all the regulations in place  ,fire ,license, after hours etc 

[Foghorn]

And they have to stand there and be pleased to get the money ,what an insult, absolutely disgusting

Yes, I expect there will be a photo opportunity, maybe even with giant cheques. Tempted to say better than nothing, but of course should never have even happened.

So who is ultimately footing the bill for compensation?

At the top when you create a post, to the left of the 'link' image, row 2 is strikethrough S  (on a laptop).

So, compensation for a life is about 1 months income for us expats ? Disgraceful 

[newnative]

    I saw one of the surviving, horribly burned and scarred victims on tv the other day.  No amount of money would compensate but it certainly should be more than this woefully inadequate, miserly amount.
