SINGAPORE : A team of five SAF doctors left for Taiwan on Friday afternoon.

They will be working with the Taiwanese medical authorities to stabilise the two SAF servicemen warded in the Intensive Care Units of Taipei Tri-service Hospital so that they can be brought back to Singapore as soon as it is medically advisable to do so.

The two servicemen who died in the incident have been identified as 19-year-old Corporal (CPL) Isz Sazli Bin Sapari and 23-year-old Private (PTE) Fan Yao Jin.

Their next of kin have been informed.

MINDEF and the SAF extend their deepest condolences to the families of the late CPL Isz Sazli and PTE Fan, and will be assisting the families in their time of grief.

The Ministry has made arrangements for the next of kin of the affected SAF personnel to be flown to Taiwan.

They will be accompanied by family-liaison officers and counsellors from the SAF.

MINDEF and the SAF will continue to work with the Taiwanese authorities to provide support and assistance to the affected servicemen and their families. - CNA/ch
