A polytechnic lecturer who collapsed in
school on Monday has died.
Jacqueline Ho, in her 40s, a lecturer in
Singapore Polytechnic’s (SP) School of Architecture & the Built
Environment, was found on the floor along the corridor outside her
office at about 11am on Monday after having suffered a heart
attack, wrote The New Paper (TNP).
The report said that the Singapore Civil
Defence Force (SCDF) responded to a call at 11:06am and, upon
arrival nine minutes later, found that Ho had no pulse and was not
breathing. They then used an automated external defibrillator on
her and took her to the National University Hospital (NUH) while
giving her cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) along the
way.
The former glass painting instructor died
in NUH soon after.
An SP spokesperson told Yahoo! Singapore,
“Jacqueline as we know her was a very dedicated staff, passionate
in her work, always bubbly and cheerful. She was popular and well
liked by both her colleagues and students. Although her time with
us was short, she has left us with many happy memories and made an
indelible imprint upon those whose lives she
touched.”
Condolence messages were also found on
social networking sites Facebook and Twitter.
Soh Chee Meng said on Singapore
Polytechnic’s Facebook page, “I will always remember Jac as the fun
loving, jovial and yet accommodating person.”
Manfred Loh added on the same page,
“Jacqueline Ho has been such a wonderful and dedicated lecturer.
She was more than that. She’s also a friend. Even for modules that
are not taught by her, she would help us improve on the powerpoint
slides and presentation.”
@jemlwt, who gave his tribute to her on
Twitter, said, “RIP Ms Jacqueline Ho. I will always remember you as
a free spirited and fun loving lecturer.”
Coincidentally, Ho was in charge of the
students who spent seven months planning for the Halloween Horrors
event at Night Safari before it got canned, wrote TNP.
