Do you think MINDEF will cover up
the commanders who made this NS man do exercises when he was on
MC? 
SINGAPORE: 20—year—old Private Joe Foo Wei Rong who died
at Lim Chu Kang Camp on Tuesday morning had been given three days
of medical leave on Sunday for a hamstring strain.
Relatives and friends learnt of this as they paid their last
respects to the full—time National Serviceman at the Ubi Teochew
Parlour on Wednesday afternoon.
Private Foo collapsed while doing chin—ups at Lim Chu
Kang camp. The Ministry of Defence said he was brought to
hospital where he died shortly after.
It’s learnt that Mindef is investigating why Private Foo
was training while on medical leave.
Private Foo will be cremated at Mandai Crematorium on Thursday
morning.
Many remember him as an athletic young man who liked to play
basketball.
Clifton Seah, the cousin of Private Foo, said: "I’m very
shocked. He was a fine young man. My brother was on the phone with
him barely 12 hours before he died. It’s a great loss." — CNA
Will they examine policies and
Standard operating procedures? Will they just take action against
the platoon commander and cover up cock ups in higher management?
Can MINDEF be trusted?
Or is Pte Foo expendable.......just another person to be stepped
on by those who grow fat on their superscale salaries?
can a person die suddenly from a hamstring injury?I dunno...I am
not the expert...but assuming the death is unrelated to the
hamstring... then it seems pretty suay to be investigated on
SOP when the MC has got nothing to do with the death...I am quite
sure we all know that procedures arent always followed...both in
SAF and elsewhere.
