19-year-old NSF dies after displaying 'signs of heat injury': MINDEF




SINGAPORE: A 19-year-old full-time national serviceman (NSF) died on Monday (Apr 30), nearly two weeks after "displaying signs of heat injury" in Bedok Camp, said the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) in a news release.

Lee Han Xuan Dave, a Guardsman from the 1st Battalion Singapore Guards, had just completed an 8km fast march at about 8.35am on Apr 18 when he required medical attention.

A Singapore Armed Forces medic attended to him immediately to bring down his core temperature, said MINDEF. "PTE Lee was evacuated to the camp’s Medical Centre where body cooling measures and treatment were continued by the SAF medical team," it added.

He arrived at 9.50am at Changi General Hospital where he was warded in the Intensive Care Unit.

"Unfortunately, PTE Lee’s condition did not improve in the ICU and worsened during the hospitalisation," said MINDEF.



"The Ministry of Defence and the SAF extend their deepest condolences to the family of the late serviceman and are assisting the family in this time of grief."

In a Facebook post, his mother, Jasmine Yeo, wrote: "Dave had completed his final journey with us @1732 today and now he is on his way to create miracles to others! We are proud of him and hope more people will be able to benefit from his generosity!"

His father, property agent Dennis Lee, made a similar post on Facebook shortly after.

Ms Yeo also posted videos and photos of her son enlisting in the military on Jan 5 as well as his graduation from Basic Military Training last month.

In every case involving the death of a national serviceman, the Armed Forces Council will convene an independent Committee of Inquiry to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Well every country has their own specifications and requirements for their combat vehicles.it is not possible for boeing to strip everything down than refurbished it to resell to other country.(this is because US very paranoid on their technology falling to their adversaries).btw news, just said US army postpone the acceptance of helicopter until the problem is rectrify,not canceling it.

Thus, I think Indonesia is accepting new Apache unit as contract and nothing to do with your speculation of accepting rejected units. As for the faulty nuts,I don't think it is major issues ,since it will be replaced (like takata airbag) at timely matters.

The US Army is the largest operator of the Apache.

If it is being rejected by the US Army, there is a high chance that the TNI-AU AH64E is in the same batch.

Well if its in the same batch then its Boeing responsibility to fixed the problem and replaced the faulty nuts as to ensure the safety of the crew and the airworthiness of the helicopter they are selling to the US and International customers. Boeing test pilots and technician are still in Indonesia for fight test of the newly arrived AH-64Es. Iam sure they are aware of the problem.

I was actually referring to a comment that you cannot simply just give someone else series production line and instead given rejected ones just because you want it faster.

Btw the Indonesian AH-64E operator is TNI-AD.

Yeah, TNI-AD.

The issue here is if is a deep maintenance repair, the Apache will need to be sent back to Boeing USA.

yeaps, not cancelling it... so the parts that are common which have not been accepted are alleged to have been passed on to foreign buyers

as per contract, hence if problem is not known by indo they would still be accepting it... well, takata deemed it not to be a major issue, guess where is takata now?

well your assumption is all just speculation ,until now you didn't even provide any substantial evidence that it has alleged pass to foreign buyers.even indo din't make a fuss or statement about faulty nuts. if you read ,the issues is about the "rust" on the nut is causing reliability issues.

guess where is takata now?- well if you read, they known about this issues long ago..maybe even from the beginning but they kept quiet on it and keep on selling ( now already chapter 7,easy way out limiting their damage). now honda, toyota,etc... is picking their mess up by replacing those airbeg. (Boeing also doing the same replacing those nuts with revised version currently).

"as per contract, hence if problem is not known by indo they would still be accepting it"- well nothing in this world is perfect ,that's why it is covered by manufactures warranties within those purchasing agreements.

Attached thumbnail(s)

its not an assumption or a speculation, that's all from you... it is a question... what evidence you want? go do your own research for evidence... ok, rust on nut, so what's your point?

the party mentioned is takata, not honda not toyota... so you think chapter 7 is not bad enough?

good luck if your mindset is fixed on relying upon warranties... if the US army is like you, boeing will be very happy

anyway, stick to thread topic... shall not dwell further

wonder which plane...

Imo, need to use 100% russian avionics. using western avionics seem difficult in current politic situations.
aaand that surely no go.

Then stuck with Russian equipment when Russia buat hal lagi?

Right now our Su30s have option to use both, thats pretty cool
