SINGAPORE – The Singapore Democratic Alliance (SDA) had a scare during a walkabout in Pasir Ris on Monday night (June 22) when one of its members felt faint and had to be taken to hospital.
About 45 minutes into the walkabout Mr Harminder Pal Singh, 48, who ran in the last two general elections, could not continue and had to sit down while a party member called for an ambulance.
He was later taken to hospital accompanied by a party member, while the rest of the group carried on with the walkabout. SDA president Desmond Lim Bak Chuan said his team had been keeping late nights as they prepare for the election, sleeping at 3am the past few days. He added that Mr Harminder had leftovers from lunch the day before for dinner.
He told The Straits Times at 10.30pm that Mr Harminder’s condition was stable.
During the walkabout, Mr Lim said the SDA would be returning to contest Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC at the next election and that he would be leading the team again.
“I won’t run away,” Mr Lim, who campaigned alongside Mr Harminder in GE2015, said, even as he did not reveal the other candidates that the party would be fielding.
