SAF regular critically injured.

Quick everyone! Install barricades and deploy more patrols around Bedok Reservoir!

Knowing SAF, it would rather that he die asap.

 

[Jah_rastafar_I]

Yup with only 1 arm that sucks and there were ppl joking about how is he going to masterbate in future. Wtf.

Long term support for injured serviceman Jason Chee: Ng Eng Hen
By Imelda Saad | Posted: 06 January 2013 1115 hrs

SINGAPORE: Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen on January 4 visited naval serviceman Jason Chee, who was involved in a horrific accident last month.

He gave the assurance that Mr Chee and his father would be taken care of in the long term.

Dr Ng revealed that doctors from the Singapore Armed Forces have also been in touch with specialists in the US military, who have experience in rehabilitating veterans with lost limbs.

Dr Ng said the aim is to get Mr Chee up and about and be independent, as far as possible.

He posted the comments on the Singapore Armed Forces Facebook page, Cyber Pioneer.

Dr Ng said the Defence Ministry will pay for all hospitalisation and rehabilitation expenses.

"I reassured his dad not to worry about the hospitalisation and rehabilitation expenses - we would pay for all of this. I thanked his doctors and nurses who have been working round the clock to save Jason's life," said Dr Ng.

He added: "Jason's dad, a retiree, said that his wish was to be able to live his remaining days together with Jason, without having to struggle. I understood what he was worried about. His wife had passed on two years ago and Jason was their only child. How would Jason and he take care of each other?

"I reassured (the older) Mr Chee that he should not be worried that our support would wane after Jason left the hospital and went home. The SAF and Singaporeans would be there for him and Jason in the long term."

The minister said he has been receiving updates about the 29-year-old's condition, twice daily.

Dr Ng added it was a moment of "relief and joy" to be able to shake Mr Chee's hand.

He said he conveyed to the serviceman, how Singaporeans from all walks of life - including those within the SAF, his Shunfu community and his friends' buddies - were rooting for his recovery.

He also offered words of encouragement, praising Mr Chee for his fighting spirit and urged him to press on.

The naval serviceman lost his legs and left arm in an accident on board the warship RSS Endeavour when he got caught between the ship's motorised winch and a rope.

As of early this month, public donations for Mr Chee have exceeded S$370,000.

Dr Ng said he is touched by the spontaneous outpouring of donations, sympathy and support by the public.

He added this generous spirit will encourage SAF soldiers and lift their morale as they carry out their duty of defending Singapore.

"We will pray for his recovery. MINDEF and the SAF will be there, giving our full support for the long term. I have been deeply touched by the spontaneous outpouring of donations, sympathy and support by the public. This generous spirit will encourage our SAF soldiers and lift their morale as they carry out their duty of defending Singapore," Dr Ng said.

WTF is this Hen trying to say?? There is no way a man with 1 injured arm left is going to be independent. He will need
a lifetime of assistance, let's get real about this.

We'll check the Hen's report card 5 years from now and see if he is delivery his promise or not.

It will be safer to work out the 'long term' and receive the compensation now because anything can happen to Ng Eng Hen's promise. Did LHL keep his promise after the 2011 election?

Medical attention, care, food ++ others....5k per month x 60 years = 3.6 millions minimum.

I think the garment should revert back to pension for those uniformed personnel, who serves and defend Sillypore.

 

[theblackhole]

this is a terrible terrible accident. let us all pray for our service man.

good idea. in many countries, uniformed personnel are given life long pension. they even have their own veterans hospital.

I think Sillypore is the only country that do away with pension for civil servants. Even in Boleh land all civil servants are on pension scheme.

Pity those junior officers holding ikan bilis ranks. They are the front line officers. In time of emergency or wars, they are the first one to be activitated and face the adversaries/calamities.

 

[theblackhole]

yes, we need to protect those who protect us. give them at least a secured pension for life.

 

[drifter]

i fully agreee. money doesn't buy everything

At least money can buy him artificial limps .

 

[laksaboy]

Praying will not make him grow new limbs.
