A Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) regular serviceman was found motionless in his bunk in a Taiwanese military facility this morning at 7.15am.

First Sergeant (1SG) Ang Joo Pin was given immediate medical attention by an SAF senior medic. He was evacuated to and arrived at the hospital at about 7.35am.

Efforts to resuscitate him continued en route to the hospital.

He was pronounced dead at 7.40am in the hospital. The 30- year-old ammunition technician was in Taiwan to support the SAF's unilateral training.

The Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) and the SAF extend their deepest condolences to the family of the late 1SG Ang.

MINDEF will assist the family in their time of grief and is investigating the incident.
