Aljunied GRC MP and former Workers’ Party (WP) Secretary-General Low Thia Khiang has been transferred to a general ward after being admitted in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for five days.
This was announced by the party earlier today (5 May) on its Facebook page along with a statement posted on its official website.
“After 5 days in ICU, Mr Low was transferred on 4 May to a general ward, where he is likely to remain for a few more weeks to recuperate,” the party wrote.
The party added that his family “has asked us to convey their deep appreciation for all the good wishes sent to him for a speedy recovery”.

In an earlier statement on Saturday (2 May), WP stated that Mr Low suffered a head injury from a fall at home on 30 April, and was placed in ICU to be monitored.
“Mr Low is conscious. Mr Low’s family has requested for privacy so he can focus on his recuperation,” the party said.
It added that in Mr Low’s absence from work, the Workers’ Party Aljunied GRC MPs will cover his constituency duties, assisted by former Non-Constituency Member of Parliament (NCMP) Gerald Giam.

日F35战机坠毁 我国防部:采购前先确保安全

本月9日,日本航空自卫队一架全新F-35A战机,在日本青森县外海失事坠毁。 针对《今日报》的询问,上述事故会否影响我国添购F35战机的决定,对此国防部发言人重申,新加坡武装部队会先购置四架F35战机,再考量是否再增购其余的八架。 国防部表示,会对战机的能力和合适程度进行全面评估,确保F35战机符合部队需求,且可安全运作。 虽然在日本的事故,乃是全球首宗F35战机在海外坠毁的案例,不过,根据防卫新闻报导,在去年9月,美军的一架F35B战机也曾在南卡罗莱纳州坠毁,坠机原因仍在调查中。 至于日本防卫厅则暂停了三泽基地所有F35战机的飞行直至另行通知。目前,则倾全力搜救下落不明的40岁飞行员和查明事故肇因。 日本内阁在去年12月,通过《防卫计划大纲》和《中期防卫力整备计划》,刚决定大量采购F-35A及衍生机型F-35B战机,总采购量高达147架,包括42架F-35B和105架F-35A。 恐影响日防卫政策 不过随着坠机事故发生,分析指可能影响日本的防卫政策。 F35A被定位为“日本防卫战略关键”,事故战机也是日本国内企业参与制造的首架机体。2017年6月,才在日本爱知县三菱重工出厂。 根据美国政府问责局(GAO)的报告,截至去年1月,在F35战机上发现966项技术问题,其中111项属于可能威胁安全性能的关键问题,以及855项可能妨碍任务。 拥有匿踪性能的F35战机是由美、日、英、意大利等九国共同开发。 我国拟先添购四架F35…
