THE Defence Ministry has come out for the first time to address the issues surrounding the sudden death of Captain (Dr) Allan Ooi in Melbourne, Australia, earlier this month.
Its spokesman, Colonel Darius Lim, said Capt Ooi's superiors were aware of his unhappiness over his work, and had offered him a different appointment. But he never got back to his boss about whether he would take the option.
The Republic of Singapore Air Force medical officer, 27, was found dead underneath Melbourne's Westgate Bridge on March 3. In a note he left behind, he said, among other things, that he was unhappy at work. He lamented that he spent more time doing administrative work such as writing articles for the air force in-house magazine, than treating patients.
