That's really sad news, condolences to the family.

sorry to hear that. my condolences to the family...

RIP Mr. Chua, my heartfelt condolences to his family, loved ones and golfing kakis. Crying or Very sad

Sad indeed, particularly for the children.

Good to note NSRCC is equipped w an ambulance buggy c/w an AED.. Wonder if this is standard practice amongst golf clubs... in Singapore? and JB? Anyone knows?

From what I know, it was regulated for various public places in SG to have an AED.

For golf courses, i believe part of the requirement was that the AED must be in place to be delivered to a golfer within a certain time, hence it will be placed on selected marshall buggies.

I remember all the staff at MGK and MBGC had to go for AED and First Aid training (incl proper certification) to prepare for this.

Can't comment about JB though ...

I think not just NSRCC all clubs should have such drill. Yes, sorry for the teens. May they be strong and Rip, Mr Chua.

Anyone knows where is funeral?

I would like to contribute although I don't know him.

I lost my dad when I was 7 so I know how difficult his family will need to go thru.

Funeral was today..but kudos for the kind thoughts poresia.

He was part of my golf group..was a shock to all of us as he was a very fit man. Anyways..important to take care of ourselves and go for check ups for irregularities.

Rip KB..you will always be remembered.

At least he died playing golf...doing something he likes....not while working

I think govt should consider subsidised AED for home use. Amazon is selling US$1K for AED.

My condolences.

Condolences to the family.

Sad news which reminded me of a good buddy of mine who collapsed after playing tennis (his love) on a Sat afternoon some years ago....

hi bro Schnell, hope your buddy's kids are taken care off to move on too...

This is so sad news.
