Mr Danny Loh Chong Meng, 55, passed away during a holiday at Japan. He was also the former secretary of AHPETC.

AHPETC Chairman, Ms Sylvia Lim, expressed her condolences in an AHPETC press release yesterday.

We are deeply saddened by the sudden loss of Mr Danny Loh.

Danny was the Secretary of the Town Council (TC) for the first four years of its operation. The TC and FM Solutions and Services Pte Ltd (FMSS) faced many challenges together.

I worked closely with Danny since 2011.  He was an unassuming man, who had the courage of his convictions. We shall miss him.

Our deepest condolences go to Ms How Weng Fan, the Loh family and FMSS for their tremendous loss.

It is uncertain what is the cause of death but it is said that Mr Loh had suffered a fall during his trip in Japan. Chinese newspaper reported that according to friends visiting the wake,  Mr Loh might have passed away due to heart failure, and because there were no prior symptoms before this, family members were shocked.

Mr Loh was also managing director of estate management company FM Solutions & Services (FMSS), the town council’s outgoing managing agent. He has been a loyal servant of the Workers Party for more than 20 years since he first started at the former Hougang Town Council, working for WP chief Low Thia Khiang since the 1990s.

His body has since been flown back to Singapore. Mr Loh’s wake begun yesterday in Yishun, and the cremation will take place on Tuesday.

超标化学物质污水倒入下水道! 威记食品被罚1万7700元

公用事业局指出,一家本地食品制造商多次将超标的化学物质倒入公共下水道内,因此对它开出1万7700元的罚单。 当局于今日(10月8日)发文告指出,当局于去年9月到10月期间,到威记食品位于大成道的厂房进行稽查时,发现他们将含有化学物质的污水倒入下水道内。污水内的化学含量超标了120倍以上,也好有超标八倍以上的油渍。 该公司因此面对四项排放含超标化学物质污水的控状,还有六项控状在下判时被纳入考量中。 据文告指出,威记食品并非首次违法,该公司于起2019年5月也因类似罪行而被定罪,被罚款了1万4400元。 当局指出,下水道若出现化学物质超标或油渍含量超标的情况,会影响水的处理过程,进而导致新生水的生产被破坏。 为了保护下水道和排水系统等,当局自今年5月4日起,就不再批准威记食品将污水倒入下水道,并要求该公司聘请废料收集公司进行废料处理。
