Serious Shanmugam Visits SCDF m&d Who Got Burnt By Exploding Taxi! Good Minister!

SINGAPORE: The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) firefighter who was injured while helping to put out a taxi on fire in Buona Vista is recovering well, according to Home Affairs and Law Minister K Shanmugam in a Facebook post on Sunday (May 7).

"CPL Eka was injured, while putting out the fire of a burning taxi which exploded at Buona Vista," wrote Mr Shanmugam after a visit to the full-time National Serviceman's house. "I went to his house and met him and his mother.
"The boy is recovering well. They are the only persons in the household. The father has passed away, and the other children are all overseas."



Mr Shanmugam added that CPL Eka plans to study mechanical engineering after completing his National Service.

The firefighter sustained first-degree burns to his face and neck while putting out a fire caused by a taxi explosion on Commonwealth Avenue last week.
"I have also alerted his MP, Ms Tin Pei Ling. She will drop in on the family to check, offer assistance that local grassroots can give," he said. "The men and women of the Home Team put their lives at risk every day to protect Singapore."

Four men, including the SCDF firefighter, sustained minor injuries and were taken to National University Hospital, SCDF said.

"SELFLESS" MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC RECOVERING

Among them was ITE student Yazid. On Thursday, Member of Parliament for Holland-Bukit Timah GRC Christopher De Souza visited him at his house.


Mr Yazid was burnt by flying debris from the blast while dismounting from his motorbike at the scene to try and help the taxi's passengers, according to Mr De Souza in a Facebook post.

Yazid burnt his thighs, hands and shoulder when the burning taxi exploded.

"Thank you, Yazid, for your selflessness in the face of such odds," Mr De Souza wrote. "Instead of being deterred by the thick black smoke from the taxi, Yazid rode his motorbike toward the smoke at Commonwealth Avenue as he instinctively felt he needed to render assistance to passengers."

Thankfully, Mr Yazid has "healed well" and is recovering at home, he added.

See his educational level first. If he is an ITE or poly grad like most SCDF troopers, then forget it. Give him a commendation cert, and promote him up one rank to sergeant. Senior officer ranks are meant for the intelligent people who get good results and can make it to NUS at least.

till such time that he is trained and be comfortable to sit on a sofa, only then can he be considered for a "higher" rank.
last heard that nus now has tbls and chairs in the classrooms, and his view of the board and screen may be obstructed :o

Shan n others should make unannounced surprised stand-by-bed visit
to Jln Bahar holiday camp; to make sure that Peter Lim successors
are on their toes.

This just show how racist the Singapore government is. Malay conscripts doing the more dangerous aspect of national service like infantry, SCDF and police.

I'm curious to know if Cpl Eka was using water to put out the Lpg tank fire. If he was, then I hope he sues Scdf and Ministry of home affairs for endangering his life.
