NS recruit dies after training walk
A 20-YEAR-OLD national serviceman died in hospital after he fainted during training on Pulau Tekong on Tuesday morning.
Recruit Andrew Cheah Wei Siong had only enlisted five days ago into natioal service.
The polytechnic graduate fainted at 8.35am while he was taking part in a 2km walk at the Basic Military Training Centre on the island. He was given immediate medical attention by doctors.
At 9.24am, Mr Cheah was evacuated by helicopter to the Singapore General Hospital. Medical staff from the Singapore Armed Forces continued to resuscitate him en route.
However, they failed to revive him and he was pronounced dead at 10.50am at SGH.
The Defence Ministry is investigating the incident.
