Serious Heng Swee Kiat Collapsed During Cabinet Meeting! Kena Stroke!

I hate to sound cruel but what do people expect when they're earning million dollars a year? The stress and lifestyle habits associated is a trade off for the pay.

My friends in banks always tell me how their colleagues get diagnosed with cancer around 40.

A project director i knew scheduled a call next morning, went to bed and never got up. He left behind a wife and 2 young children.

When your salary is pegged to top private sector's, expect the risks too.

Get well soon Mr Heng

The equation was not applied in the case of the Singapore Cabinet. Mr Heng took too heavy a load on himself while bastards like Grace Foo do nothing but complain about her salary, Chan Chun Seng taking over from Lim Swee Say for cute antics, the newly minted Minister eyeing the NDB portfolio and the other ex Lt General dreaming of getting his two brothers on board as well.

He will get well, no doubt..having a stroke....something's will never be the same again...it is not like breaking an arm or....... I have a colleague while preparing for work had a heart attack at 5am....after that, it was not the same, was down graded at work & was a 'rising star' to take over the boss of the division...& that is one of the many fallen to high pressure work...another working in a financial institution had a stroke at 29...down graded too....

It is the food we eat, the life style we lead & the extremely stressful work life.....if one is paid millions, what do you expect...divine providence is warning the MIW....today it is HSK...tomorrow, it might be, YOU....so easy to earn, people'e money?..

serious question: Does he still earn his million bucks or billion bucks while in hospital? Or shouldn't the pay go to those taking over his duties?

I want to tell you guys something. I am a Tampines GRC constituent. I had shared my encounter with Masagos which was a positive one. During polling day of the 2011 GE, I was at a cooffeshop reading the papers on the GE when I found myself surrounded by a sea of white. It was the PAP army on their way to the polling stations. A short man stopped and stood a few feet away from me and when our eyes met he nodded a hello which was returned without emotion. I am imbued with a good sense of character judgment. Mr Heng to me truly is a man of humility as have been shown since his elevation to Mt Olympus Singapore. My emotional reaction to this episode of our country's history is why must it be him? Why not the useless jiatliaobees in the Cabinet? We have lost a good man. Much as I hope it to be, we will not see him back. I don't believe in God but I find myself praying that he won't need to suffer for the rest of his life.

Spot on! I am with you on this. Other than HSK, Tharman is the only other in Cabinet that LTK and SL opine deserve their salaries. Look at Swee Say and the many others, including CCS. Enough said.

He's on medical leave which is an entitlement.

When he runs of out of medical leave a decision will have to be made what to do with him. He's a Heng so draw your own conclusions.

Lymphoma is one tricky type of cancer. For those who made it through the first round and think that by taking it easy and having more obscenely paid subordinates to run the show for him, he can ward off its return. But cancer will always come back with a vengeance.

are you referring to someone we know?

If HSK took on too heavy a load, what does that tell us? No other competent buggers in Cabinet to share the responsibilities? Wrong selection by the MIW?

In normal, Employment act...sheesh! I have forgotten the law already & too lazy to dig up the manual or google....I think it is 60 days hospitalisation leave with full salary, then it is full salary for 6 moths ( full pay) & then 6 months ( 1/2 month pay) & anything beyond that, depends on Medical Board....we don't have these people employment contracts...it must be perpetual....

But I bet HSK...the people will gladly pay till he dies....when!..depends on who first...!!

Yes. Traditional local Singapore companies such as banks, trading houses would "close an eye" and let it run past a year which I thought was noble of them. For person of his grade, I am sure money is not the issue. Wife is also super scale. There will also be the insurance cover.

Thanks for sharing.

Just out of curiosity, what is your normal blood pressure readings ?

During my stay in the hospital I was hooked on to a machine that monitor the blood pressure and pulse rate 24/7. I was surprised to find my pressure to be normal around 80 / 120 plus minus.

It was a lesson that I wish to share that such thing just struck without any sign or symptom.
