43-year-old Singaporean former army officer died after collapsing at work
A 43-year-old Singaporean former army officer tragically passed away last Sunday after collapsing at work, only a year into his new engineering role. His robust health history has left his family grappling with the harsh reality of his sudden demise.
SINGAPORE: A 43-year-old former army officer passed away last Sunday (28 April) after collapsing at his workplace, just a year into his new role as an engineer.
After leaving the military, he joined the family business as an engineer.
Known for his robust health, he unexpectedly collapsed while on duty last Sunday and was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital.
According to a report by Shin Min Daily News, his sister mentioned during an interview at the wake that the incident came as a shock, and the family is still grappling with the reality of his demise.
She told reporters that her brother collapsed suddenly around 2 p.m. while at work.
A colleague immediately administered CPR, and he regained consciousness briefly. An ambulance was called immediately.
However, while en route to the hospital, Robin Chua fell unconscious again.
Medical personnel accompanying him attempted to resuscitate him but were unsuccessful.
He was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital. His father was also present at the time, accompanying the ambulance to the hospital.
The family was informed by doctors that the cause of death was cardiac arrest.
Recalling her brother, she expressed admiration, highlighting his responsible nature and strong familial bonds.
“He was a good son and brother, always taking care of the family and being the first to step up when there were issues.”
“His robust health history made his sudden collapse incomprehensible,” she continued, noting the absence of heart disease in both Robin Chua and his parents.
However, the family also disclosed that Robin Chua had a smoking habit, as reported by Shin Min.
The wake is being held at Mandai Crematorium and Columbarium, with the funeral procession scheduled to depart at noon on Friday (3 May) for the same location.
Chua’s wife, Ferlina Ahmad, shared with Shin Min that they met in 2013 and tied the knot in 2018.
Describing her husband, she portrayed him as a diligent and disciplined individual who always prioritized his family’s well-being.
“He possessed a remarkable kindness that endeared him to everyone,” expressed the 35-year-old.
In a heartfelt Facebook tribute dedicated to her husband on Monday, Ferlinda penned, “Robin was the epitome of hard work, determination, and resilience, qualities I deeply admired in him. ”
“He will forever hold a special place in my heart, and I am grateful for the love we shared.”
She extended her gratitude to Chua’s friends, relatives, and family for the cherished memories they shared with him, adding, “Though he may have embarked on a new journey, his spirit of adventure will live on in our hearts.”

The untimely death shows the need to do health checks regularly. I recall a friend who was a badminton fanatic and was seemingly very healthy. One day, he went through a company full health check as part of a 2 year routine. When the results were out, the doctor immediately arranged for an emergency bypass surgery as 90% of his arteries were blocked and he could simply collapse and die. This was in the 1990s. He was lucky and is still alive and playing badminton today. Companies should be mandated to have staff under 40 years undergo full health check… Read more »
