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.

疑有人非法饲养 懒猴牙齿遭锉平弃路边

因为卡通片《动物城市》(Zootopia)让社会渐渐发现懒猴的可爱之处,它们平常身居森林里,由于行动特别缓慢,加上炯炯有神的眼睛,近年来很是受捧,甚至也引起人类想要当宠物饲养的想法。但近日有民众在新加坡岛屿乡村俱乐部发现了一只懒猴,牙齿被锉平,相信是遭人非法捕捉当宠物饲养,然后被抛弃在俱乐部附近,关爱动物研究协会已介入并拯救懒猴。 关爱动物研究协会(ACRES)揭露,上月18日一民众于中央集水地带自然保护区发现懒猴,它当时位于新加坡岛屿乡村俱乐部中央,最后也将懒猴引入笼子内,等待协会救援。 对此,协会表示感到相当震惊,因为懒猴属于稀有动物,本地也相当稀少,而且其牙齿被锉平,相信是遭人非法逮捕后作为宠物饲养最后被遗弃。 协会也指出,懒猴属于有毒灵长类动物,腋下内侧有分泌毒液的腺体。这与它们的唾液混合后会成为有毒物质,因此捕猎者在捕捉到后会将牙齿锉平甚至拔出,让他们无法咬人。 而被锉平牙齿的懒猴也无法回到野外生活,因为毒液是他们唯一的防身武器,一旦被锉平后,可能就无法在野外生活。 随后,协会也在脸书专页上呼吁,近年来,网上经常流传可爱动物的饲养视频,也使人们对这些动物的需求增加,增加了他们非法捕捉的可能。 据《濒危物种(进口与出口)法令》,进口、拥有、展示或出售此类动物属于违法行为,触法可被处以每个物种最高五万新元的罚款,或最长两年监禁,或两者兼施。
