MP Seng was "barbercued" when performing his "important" duty as a MP attending a community dinner. I doubt he even needs to rely on his NTUC insurance to cover any part of his bill.
I suspect this guy is lying with an aim to show how good our system is and how nice is the product of NTUC from which he also draws his salary as an assistant do nothing.
Very cheap act of ball-carrying and self-praise indeed.
I never believe this guy unless he shows us the details of the medical bill and how much is paid by his insurance company.

MORE than 30 years ago, Member of Parliament Seng Han Thong, bought an NTUC Income life insurance policy, paying $10 a month as a premium. Back then, it was a large amount for a journalist earning no more than $600 a month, he said.
As NTUC Income grew and offered other insurance policies, Mr Seng, 59, continued buying their affordable plans.
But his wisest buy was his most recent plan, for emergency and accident cover. The decision brought great relief to his family in January this year when he suffered severe burns in an attack.
'My family, especially my mother, was very relieved because they did not have to worry about the medical costs of the treatment and could concentrate on helping me get well,' he said on Friday, without elaborating on his medical bills. He was speaking at a National Day ceremony at insurer NTUC Income.
Mr Seng, assistant secretary-general of the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC), was hospitalised for 28 days, during which he received many skin grafts.
He has since resumed his work, although he still dons gloves to protect his healing hands.
In his address to about 300 Income employees, he also spelt out what differentiates their company from other insurers.
'Singaporeans know we are not a profit-maximising company. We started by providing insurance for workers who could not afford it on the open market in the 1970s,' he said.
About two million people now hold Income policies, including annuities and motor insurance. The cooperative will launch, among other things, an updated and more colourful logo later this month.
While continuing to focus on its social purpose, Income has to be more professional and modern, said chief executive Tan Suee Chieh. 'Offering the best value with the lowest prices for the best products is no longer sufficient.'
