A 30 year old Operationally Ready National Serviceman collapsed outside Maju Camp on 30 Jun 2025. He had earlier completed a National Service Fitness Improvement Training (NS FIT) session conducted between 1850hrs and 2000hrs at Maju Fitness Conditioning Centre (FCC), and he was cleared to leave after reporting to the fitness instructors that he felt well. He booked out of Maju Camp at 2011hrs.

Outside the camp, a passer-by witnessed his collapse and called for an ambulance. SCDF was alerted at 2016hrs and the ambulance arrived at 2025hrs. Resuscitation efforts were administered on-site, and continued enroute during his evacuation to National University Hospital. He arrived at the hospital at around 2100hrs. Despite the emergency medical interventions, he was pronounced dead at 2154hrs.

As a precaution, the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) has implemented a safety pause on NS FIT training until 4 July 2025 to review safety procedures and protocols, and to remind our soldiers on the importance of safety.

The SAF is rendering support to the family in their time of grief. We extend our deepest condolences to the family.

Further investigations will be convened to ascertain the cause of death.
