Khaw Boon Wan who is the Minister of Transport has been admitted to the isolation ward after feeling feverish after finalising the negotiations for the Johor-Singapore Rapid Transit System.
Here was what was stated in his Instagram post.
“I find this photo hilarious! I started my career in the Health Ministry. After 42 years, I would not expect to exit the stage in bed as a patient! I have been preparing my office for the next Transport Minister. Could not have imagined being admitted to an isolation ward for observation! Everything was going well; I have finalized the RTS negotiations and was looking forward to the ceremony! Then my temperature shot up. Unlikely to be COVID but dengue is possible as my area is a hot zone. Did the swab test just now and hopefully it’s a false alarm, I had dengue before and it was not pleasant. Meanwhile I will just let the body rest and think about retirement!”
