Ang Mo Kio GRC Member of Parliament (MP) Intan Mokhtar went on Facebook last Saturday (June 13) to share an anecdote about her son, who just graduated from the Singapore Armed Forces’ Officer Cadet Course.
Undergoing training to become an Infantry Officer would have been tough for any young full-time National Serviceman, but for Dr Intan’s son, Adam, it was apparently even more demanding.
According to the MP, who handles the Jalan Kayu precinct, her son experienced a terrible accident five years ago that saw him falling from a height of three storeys.
The injuries he sustained were severe — he broke the bones in both his hands, wrists and three toes on his right foot. Metal plates and screws had to be bolted into each hand and wrist, and a long screw had to be implanted in his foot to keep his bones together. The teen had to keep them on for a year before doctors removed the implants.
