In singapore, there's quite a number of cases regarding NSman whom died during training. This article is somewhat similar to the others. To summarise, its about Mr Roslan, 18, whom complained of having fever to two of his squad-mates, instead of reporting straight to the field instructor. As his field instructor didnt know that he wasn't feeling well, Mr Roslan continued running.
During the run, he fell down again and again, and even threw up twice. When the field instructor realised what had happened, he ran up to him and send him to receive medical attention. Two days later, he died of heat stroke which caused multiple-organ failure and left him brain dead.
In my opinion, this incident could have been avoided if only the recruit reported to the field instructor that he was feeling unwell. In future if any NSman isn't feeling well during training in camp, they should report honestly to the in-charge that day. He shouldn't try to bear with it, because things can get worst than you can imagine. Recruits should also keep a look-out for one another in case anything like this happen again.
