The full time NSF death in an accident during a training exercise that involved a land rover he was in and the Bionix tank is unfortunately the third tragedy that has struck the Liu family this year.
Liu Kai, who was posthumously awarded the rank of Corporal First Class died during a training exercise. Photos circulating on social media, but not confirmed by SAF to be the accident photos, showed a Bionix tank on top of a crushed SAF land rover. The late Corporal Liu studied in Presbyterian High School and Nanyang JC, and was supposed to start on his university studies at Singapore Management University.
Reports has emerged that his grandmother passed away recently in May 2018, while his mother was diagnosed with cancer in April 2018. The family also said that they received a phone call to rush down to the hospital immediately after the accident, but only found out about his death via an announcement on Facebook.
