Faulty equipment on board a Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) warship could have caused a horrific accident on Monday that left a serviceman critically injured.
The Defence Ministry said Tuesday night that while detailed investigations are ongoing, "preliminary findings indicate equipment malfunction as a possible contributory cause".
Weapons systems supervisor Jason Chee Weng Fai, 29, was carrying out a routine check on RSS Endeavour's berthing ropes in the ship's quarterdeck when he was caught between a motorised winch and one of the berthing ropes.
The Straits Times understands he lost both legs and an arm, and remains in critical condition in Changi General Hospital.
This is so sad.
