SINGAPORE – Mr Khaw Boon Wan’s dengue diagnosis has been confirmed, his office said on Thursday (July 23) afternoon.
Minister for Transport Mr Khaw had posted in the morning that he was admitted to an isolation ward for observation. He also received a swab test.
Speculating on his condition then, he said: “Unlikely to be Covid but dengue is possible as my area is a hot zone. Did the swab test just now and hopefully it’s a false alarm, I had dengue before and it was not pleasant.
“Meanwhile I will just let the body rest and think about retirement!” said Mr Khaw, who announced before the recent general election that he would be retiring from politics.
Mr Khaw, 67, only recently finalised negotiations for the Johor Baru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS), and was looking forward to the signing ceremony on July 30.
He said that he had been preparing his office for the next transport minister.
