SINGAPORE: A 47-year-old man has died after collapsing during a National Day Parade (NDP) rehearsal at the Padang on Saturday (Jun 21).

The participant, from the OneChangi NDP Parade and Ceremony Contingent, collapsed at 11.23am, said the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) and Changi Airport Group (CAG) in a joint media release.

“He was immediately evacuated to the on-site medical post and arrived at 11.26am, where he was attended by the duty medical officer. Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) was administered immediately,” they added.

“The participant remained unresponsive and was transferred onto a standby SAF ambulance at 11.42am for conveyance to the hospital. Resuscitation efforts continued enroute to hospital.”

The man arrived at Singapore General Hospital at 11.57am and was pronounced dead at 12.19pm.

MINDEF and CAG said parties are in contact with the man’s family to provide support. “We extend our deepest condolences to the family,” they added.

He died while serving our country. He was a hero, and should be honoured. His family should be compensated handsomely.

Ong Teng Cheong, a former President of S'pore, did not receive a state funeral, but previous presidents and later, SR Nathan (a confirmed "yes" man), received state funerals. He questioned the govt over his custodial powers because he could not effectively safeguard the reserves w/o a clear picture of what they comprised. The PAP did not take too kindly to Ong TC trying to do his job i.e. the govt wanted to be their own check and balance.

Onechangi? Is it part of Changi Airport staff contingent?
Last year a few of my ex colleagues were part of our company's contingent.
They were all so excited about being part of the contingent de woh.

How many booster shots?

How many booster shots?

Should be a contributing factor.
Main contributor is still the heat.

 

[True Believer]

Should be a contributing factor. Main contributor is still the heat.

The other contributing factors are CECA, an overcrowded S'pore, poor quality of life and living in the most expensive city in the world.

But it wasn't hot this morning. I was around the MBS vicinity. He collapsed at 11am plus...

Heat doesn’t kill.

He just want to be acknowledged that vaccines do not kill. We have plenty of such sheeple in Singapore

Just be sure to take the next booster if you reject that vaccine can kill lol

Then the vaccination becomes a higher contributing factor.
Maybe add the excitement, and the siao on. When we too siao on during a parade, we can collapse easily as our body will need to freeze here freeze there.
