SINGAPORE: Full-time national serviceman, 19-year-old Lance
Corporal Chow Han Min Calvin, who was air-lifted back to Singapore
from Taiwan earlier this month, has died at the Singapore General
Hospital (SGH).
MINDEF said he died at 6.37 am after his condition took a turn for
the worse early Monday morning.
Lance Corporal Chow had suffered severe burn injuries after a
Taiwanese F-5F aircraft crashed into a storehouse where he was
located on 11 May.
MINDEF added that the other injured serviceman, 3rd Sergeant
Ramakrishnan Karthigayan, is in a critical but stable condition at
the Intensive Care Unit of SGH.
Defence Minister Teo Chee Hean expressed his deepest condolences to
the family of the late LCP Chow.
MINDEF and the SAF will continue to assist the family in their time
of loss.
On the day of the incident, two SAF soldiers were killed in
Taiwan.
They were both accorded full military funerals.

NSFs should be the people to be paid more relatively, than to
ministers.
Who are the real people sacrificing for our Motherland?
