View Full Version : wah piang! Holy! SAF regular 'loses both legs, arm': report
[UPDATE 12 Dec, 858AM: Condition of SAF serviceman]
A Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) regular serviceman who was critically injured following a routine exercise on board a navy ship on Monday afternoon has reportedly lost both legs and an arm.
Weapons systems supervisor, Military Expert (ME) 2 Jason Chee Weng Fai was caught between a motorised winch and rope as he was checking the berthing rope on board the RSS Endeavour.
According to The Straits Times, the 29-year-old lost his limbs and remains in critical condition at Changi General Hospital following emergency surgery.
Quoting a Defence Ministry official, the daily broadsheet added that fault equipment could have been the cause of the accident on Monday.
Local media have also reported that a two-day "safety time out" has been called on all naval training exercises to allow the Defence Ministry to carry out a review of safety and training procedures.
It is expected to be lifted later on Wednesday.

So unfortunate!
I am so saddened by it.
marine accidents can be quite severe due to type of equipment involved. there have been incidents of severence of body, etc. ropes are metal ropes, so when they break, they swing and cut anything in their path.
hope he recovers well and had sufficient insurance. long road ahead.
So unfortunate!

Ya.. so sad :(
Peace out to the family and hopefully they can get through this difficult period.
I wont be surprised if the higher up would says "It is an honest mistake, lets move forward"
Someone should be FIRED!
Work safely, especially if you are the front line workers in engineering and maintenance.

What an unfortunate accident for such a young man. Wish him quick recovery.
Not trying to sound insensitive, but it was me, I would rather die.
Quality of life will be sub-par, let alone the fact that I will burden my close ones. :beats-me-man:

With prosthetic limbs , he can still have a life. Gov should compensate him $5 million

Haha, if strongest bank in the world die, rest all can up lorry liao! :scared-4:
how much was the total compensation? 2.5k x 24 ?
Workman compensation limit the payout for perm incapacity max as 180k x % loss of earning capacity ..but it dose not cover saf under this work injury compensation act..
Will be interesting to know how they are covered under their respective group personal accident insurance tho ...

lose until no 'fee'-ling.

It's better if SAF just put him under a pension scheme retrospectively and cover his medical fees for life as well.
Getting $5mil might be a bane for the family as they might lose it easily.
每次看到这种新闻，心真是很痛，很痛。
把孩子这样辛苦地养大，风风雨雨地走过来，到头来，却是遇到这种生不如死的遭遇。
我只希望我的孩子能平平安安，健健康康，快快乐乐的度过一生。这很多时候，可能都是一种奢侈。
人，不要求得太多，珍惜身边人。

Theoden: "No parent should have to bury their child."
:tsk-tsk: :(
So unfortunate!
I am so saddened by it.
Heard in the news last night that he is the only child and sole breadwinner. His mother died a few months ago, leaving him to take care of his aged father.
We can imagine the pain of his father. He had lost his wife recently and now has to go through another tragedy.
