This is originally from the chinese press attributed to 8world. Knowing that Singaporeans are mostly angmoh pai, I used ChatGPT to translate this to English to tell you all that he is vaccinated, and although he died after a badminton match, no indication from the article that the exercise was especially strenuous, and he decided to stop after he got tired.
After that, he died while he was going to bathe and wash up. Tell me how many people died this way before the vaccination.
I am not gloating at him, but it is sad that a young man of 43 years old, with potential still in him, to be leaving this world.

Local motivational speaker and Punggol grassroots leader, Chen Xunming, passed away suddenly last Sunday (18th August) at the age of 43. His widow, Cai Qinyi, who is the same age, is filled with sorrow as she recalls her late husband's passion for helping others and promoting community activities.
A reporter from 8world News visited the mourning hall this afternoon to speak with his widow, Cai Qinyi. She tearfully recounted that last Sunday (18th August) morning at 6 AM, she and her husband left for Johor Bahru to attend an international speaking event.

Chen Xunming, who was a local motivational speaker, was actively involved in Toastmasters International.
After arriving in Johor Bahru and having breakfast, they planned to play badminton with friends. After playing two games, Chen Xunming mentioned that he was extremely tired.
"He didn’t seem unusual, just tired as one would be after exercising. Then he said his hand hurt a little, so he decided to stop playing and take a shower. But after a long time, he still hadn’t come out of the bathroom, which made me very worried."
Cai Qinyi and her friend then went to check on Chen Xunming and found someone in one of the stalls. She called out his name but received no response.
They had to break the door open and found Chen Xunming unconscious on the floor, though he was fully clothed. A friend immediately pulled him out and performed CPR before an ambulance arrived and took him to the hospital.

A Life of Helping Others
Cai Qinyi and Chen Xunming got married in 2012 and had a happy and fulfilling life together. He was very caring towards her, and they enjoyed a harmonious family life. Before his passing, they had planned to celebrate their wedding anniversary in Bangkok on November 4th this year.
Talking about Chen Xunming’s unfulfilled dreams, Cai Qinyi mentioned that he hoped to continue contributing to the community and spreading positivity through his passion for speaking.
"He enjoyed motivating others through his speeches and encouraged community members to participate in volunteer work and sports activities. His ambitions were not limited to personal success; he genuinely wanted to influence and help others. During the pandemic, he started a business selling water cakes and employed needy elderly people."

Chen Xunming served as a grassroots leader in Punggol, and his sudden passing has not only devastated his family but also left the community mourning the loss of a sincere and helpful leader. Many volunteers, Member of Parliament Sun Xueling, and former MP Lee Meihua, came to pay their respects.
A volunteer, who wished to remain anonymous, said that Chen Xunming was dedicated to serving the community and actively mentored the next generation of grassroots leaders.
"He always arrived at the 'meet the people session' by 7 PM and worked tirelessly until past 11 PM, writing letters for residents and teaching the next generation of grassroots leaders how to assist residents. He gave his all."
At the wake, Chen Xunming’s elderly father was inconsolable, crying uncontrollably and needing support to sit down.
Chen Xunming’s parents are in their seventies, and he was their eldest son, with a younger sister. His sudden passing has been especially painful for them.
