from CNA: Defence executive assistant dies after collapsing at SAF detention barracks

 

SINGAPORE: A defence executive assistant with the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF), who was detained at the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) detention barracks to assist in investigations, has died.

 

MINDEF said 54-year-old Sivaperumal Tanggayelu collapsed while taking a shower at about 6.50pm last Friday.

 

It said the duty medic immediately started resuscitation efforts on Mr Sivaperumal, who was unconscious and without a pulse.

 

At 7.09pm, Mr Sivaperumal was moved to Tengah Air Base Medical Centre, where an SAF doctor assessed that he had suffered a cardiac arrest.

 

Advanced life support intervention was initiated and he was moved to the National University Hospital (NUH) Emergency Department at 7.44pm.

 

MINDEF said resuscitation efforts continued en route to the hospital.

 

At NUH, Mr Sivaperumal was resuscitated at 8.15pm, but remained in a critical condition.

 

He died on Monday at about 8.50pm at NUH.

 

MINDEF said before his detention, Mr Sivaperumal had been assessed to be medically fit for remand.

 

Since starting his detention on 15 October, Mr Sivaperumal had not reported sick or complained that he was feeling unwell.

 

MINDEF said he had also been excused from physical activities.

 

It added that the SAF is providing assistance to the family and is investigating the incident.

Collapsed while taking a shower? Shower must be damn power.

 

If he was a civillian, should be in prison.

 

So DB means, he was from uniform side and holding the title of Excu Asst, at least chow chow a Major or L/Col.... [grin]

See the above link for job description for Exec Asst. I think mostly handle deferment, emigration & renunciation of citizenship cases.

 

Looks like glorified chief clerk. Possible that he might be uniformed. Rank should be warrant officer level bah. I'm just guessing.
