A short Closed-circuit Television (CCTV) footage of the moment that a teenager who fell from the fourth-storey linkway between Orchard Central and Orchard Gateway on Friday (24 February) afternoon was shared on social media platforms.
The 17-year-old male, who has been identified as Jonathan Chow Hua Guang, passed away from his injuries after being conveyed to Tan Tock Seng Hospital which was on standby to receive him.
Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said that paramedics administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation en route to the hospital. Unfortunately, the man did not survive his injuries.
The CCTV showed the Chow conversing with a female friend. She later was shown, attempting to take a handphone video of the deceased while he climbs over the rails. She then appeared shocked when he disappeared off the footage.

Earlier, the news of the fatal accident stated that the teenager was taking pictures along the bridge when his phone suddenly fell off his hands and landed onto the parapet. He leaned over to take it. Unfortunately, he lost his balance and fell down.
The mall management, however, said that he had vaulted the railing of the link bridge
fragile
Facebook post of Chow indicates that he is a student of Randwick Boys High School, Australia and worked for Converse.
From his post, it seemed like Mr Jonathan was a skateboarder.
Some of his friends wrote on his Facebook post, saying that he will be missed.
Police are investigating this case of unnatural death.

余振忠促政府一视同仁 非选区议员也能享有助理津贴

政府昨日宣布反对党领袖的职责和福利。这也包括额外津贴能最多聘请三名国会助理( Legislative Assistants)。 工人党前非选区议员余振忠,也表示希望政府同样能恢复非选区议员和官委议员的聘请国会助理津贴,毕竟在履行职责上,政府不该厚此薄彼。 然而,非选区议员和官委议员没有聘请国会助理的津贴,因此在他担任议员期间,并无法聘请任何国会助理。 而本届选举,受委非选区议员的就包括两位前进党成员潘群勤和梁文辉。至于余振忠在此次选举曾代表工人党在马林百列集选区上阵,硬撼行动党陈川仁团队。 余振忠在脸书上发帖指出,过去时任第一副总理吴作栋,在1989年宣布,国会议员将获得津贴,以便聘请国会助理来支援议员工作。在1997年,官委议员和非选区议员的津贴突然被取消,当时已故惹耶勒南(JBJ)是非选区议员,和黄根成就曾为撤销津贴一事进行交流。 他指出,国会议员目前所获得的国会助理津贴为每月1300元,但是这并不足以聘请专业的全职助理。因此有些国会议员就会合作聘请一名全职的助理,或聘请兼职助理,或国会议员自掏腰包补贴助理酬薪。 虽然如此,他知道有些官委议员,只用了他们和非选区议员一样多的津贴,即国会议员津贴的15巴仙,以聘请了各自的助理。而基于非选区议员和官委议员津贴,真正税后带回家的月入可能少于1800元,若聘请国会助理,这笔钱大部分都要交给助理了。 他也指出,在担任非选区议员时并没有提出有关课题,因为不想成为对自己有利的议论课题。 非选区议员工作也不少 实则非选区议员和官委议员工作,亦不比任何国会议员来的少,若查看国会记录就会发现,有时发言率可能还比普通议员高出许多。(可以看看上届国会积极发言的官委议员王丽婷等人)…
