A 33-year-old Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) male regular was found motionless at a stairway landing of a building in Kranji Camp II on 14 February 2019 at 5.10 pm.

The Singapore Police Force and the Singapore Civil Defence Force were activated by the unit. The serviceman was pronounced dead on site at 5.30 pm by an SAF medical officer.

MINDEF in its statement emphasized that this death is non-training related.

Based on the preliminary investigations, the Police do not suspect foul play. The Police have classified the case as unnatural death and investigations are ongoing.

The Ministry of Defence and the SAF are assisting the family in their time of grief.

The death of this serviceman is less than a month from the death of NS serviceman Aloysius Pang due to severe injuries sustained as a result of a lowered gun barrel while he was conducting repair works in the Singapore Self-Propelled Howitzer (SSPH) with two other SAF personnel on 19 Jan at Waiouru Training Area in New Zealand.

行动党15市镇会下月起 禁PMD在组屋底层和公共走廊使用

据了解,从下月1日起,人民行动党15个市镇理事会将禁止所有个人代步工具在组屋底层和公共走廊使用。 人民行动党市镇会协调主席张俰宾博士,在今日(7日)发文告声称,市镇会已经检讨已有条例(bylaw),一旦获得新加坡总检察署批准后,将实行新禁令。 有鉴于个人代步工具(PMD)事故频发,包括陆路交通局等各造也着手管制PMD。 在前日的国会上,交通部兼卫生部高级政务部长蓝彬明指出,许多国人依赖PMD出行和维持生计,但是在前两年(2017和2018年)涉及PMD的公共路径事故就多达228宗,而今年上半年也爆发了49宗涉及PMD的火患,所以采取提前措施是有必要的。 明年4月起,所有新的电动踏板车,都必须通过UL2272标准认证检查,并确保重量、宽度和车速符合规格,才能注册使用。 陆交局因电动踏板车火警事件频传,自上个月规定必须注册后,昨日宣布将强制电动个人代步工具(简称PMD)符合UL2272标准的措施提前半年实行,所有个人代步工具必须在明年7月起达到有关防火标准。 上个月起,陆交局已强制电动踏板车进行注册,惟至今已经注册的9万辆电动踏板车中,有将近九成不符合UL2272的安全标准。 相关的电动踏板车原定于2021年起就会自动注销注册,不能再公开使用了。 他指出,当局将UL2272期限提前半年,主要认为这是最早能做到的合理期限,也让零售商有更多时间引进拥有UL2272防火标准认证的足够货源。
