And purposely use blurry pic to show that his death is not worth that much?

Soldier's death is fourth this year
PRIVATE Joe Foo Wei Rong was the fourth soldier to die this year.
In January, an army major, 41, collapsed after completing a 1.2km run.
</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>Private Joe Foo Wei Rong never regained consciousness after his fall at 6.05am in Lim Chu Kang camp yesterday.
According to the Defence Ministry (Mindef), he received immediate medical attention, but was pronounced dead in hospital at about 8.30am.
Mindef said the soldier from the 4th Battalion Singapore Infantry Regiment was doing his basic exercise routine when the incident occurred.
The Straits Times understands that the day started like any other for Pte Foo, who joined the unit a week ago after completing basic military training.
With about 30 platoon mates, he went through the daily exercises - sit-ups, leg thrusts, crunches and push-ups.
=> While FTrash are bz enjoying life and plotting how to bring in more of their kind to replace NSmen! Yet 66% of them have no issue with it? Which cuntry in the world is as warped and fxxx up as this?
The chin-ups were at the tail end of the half-hour routine, designed to gear them up for the day's rigours.
When Pte Foo collapsed, a medic tried to resuscitate him. An automated external defibrillator - a device that shocks the heart back into its regular rhythm - was also used, to no avail.
Doctors attempted to revive him at the Tengah Medical Centre nearby, and then at the National University Hospital (NUH).
They failed.
Pte Foo enlisted in July after clearing all pre-enlistment medical checks, including a resting electrocardiogram, which records the electrical activity of the heart.
He was certified combat fit with the highest grading of Physical Employment Status A. He also attained the second highest silver standard in his physical fitness test. The basic exercises he was performing yesterday morning are not considered strenuous military training.
=> Then why not enlist FTrash to perform them? Trying to siam responsibility until like this? Why not say that he would not have died if there's no "NS for Sporns, Free Scholarships/Jobs for FTrash"?
Associate Professor Tan Huay Cheem, who heads the cardiac department at NUH, said an activity need not be physically intense to 'trigger' sudden death when there are underlying factors present.
These could include cardiac conditions like viral myocarditis, which is when the heart is infected and weakened by a viral attack like flu.
As Mindef investigates, one question likely to surface is whether Pte Foo had underlying medical conditions that were not detected or declared.
Contacted yesterday, his father told The Straits Times that his son had suffered a seizure in 2004, and had collapsed at home.
=> Like this also classify him as PES A? Just cos NSmen no enuff due to the Old Fart's economic genocide against Sporns? Fxxx the Familee!
And on Sunday, he added, his son was given three days of medical leave by a public hospital doctor for a hamstring strain.
It is not clear at this time whether Pte Foo had submitted the medical certificate or alerted anyone at camp about his injury or past seizure.
Asked about this, Mindef said it was in close contact with his family and would 'thoroughly investigate their concerns'.
Mr Foo Heng Lye, 51, a logistics planner, also questioned why there was no doctor in the camp when the incident happened, which required Pte Foo to be taken by ambulance to the nearby medical centre where medical officers were on round-the-clock duty.
Mindef said that Pte Foo was given immediate medical attention by medics when he collapsed at 6.05am.
He was evacuated to Tengah Medical Centre by 6.40am, where the doctors tried to resuscitate him.
=> More than 1/2 hr before proper medical attention! Huge defence budget gone to Paper Generals' and GLSee CEOs' pay?
Thirty-five minutes later, he was taken to NUH.
=> Total of 1 hr before being sent to A & E! CCB Familee, u'll be burnt and torn apart by King Hades!
The Singapore Armed Forces doctor and medic continued their attempts to resuscitate him en route to the hospital, and he arrived at 7.45am. Pte Foo was pronounced dead at 8.28am.
Whether a military camp has doctors on duty round-the-clock depends on the intensity of training conducted at the camp.
But there are medics on duty in all camps and the nearest medical centre with a doctor on duty at all times is usually about five to 10 minutes away.
An upset Mr Foo said: 'It doesn't make sense.'
'He's got a place in university booked for him...we were so happy. And now he's gone like that - overnight.'
The younger of his two sons was a very filial child who, though quiet by nature, cared deeply for his family members and friends, who were shocked by the news.
The Singapore Polytechnic graduate was fit, fast and a basketball whiz nicknamed 'energiser', they recalled.
Former classmate Vignish Vijelal said: 'He was very athletic and had always been one of the fittest, fastest runners amongst us.'
Mr Chua Jian Ping, 20, recalled their lunch conversation last week, when Pte Foo related his aspirations - to be an airforce technician, 'because career prospects were good'.
Pte Foo's Achilles' heel: chin-ups, according to friends, who said his chin-ups were weak and he put in extra practice during lunchtime to train up.
Mr Vignish said: 'It's such an irony he had to go this way.'
=> Kena tekan lah! Why FTrash dun need to suffer such a fate?
