Transport Minister and Henry Thia look-a-like, Khaw Boon Wan, has apparently fractured his arm in a fall last week, and will be out of action for several weeks. This was revealed by Permanent Secretary Loh Ngai Seng on Monday morning. Khaw is currently in hospital, and he will undergo an operation later this week on his fractured arm.
It was further revealed that he will only resume his duties several weeks from now when he is fit again to do so. During his absence, Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan will take over as Acting Transport Minister. Perfect fit, some might say, as his foreign minister portfolio might help in resolving transport issues with Malaysia are well coordinated, as he will be the Minister in Charge for both Transport and Foreign Affairs.
No statement had been release on how Khaw suffered the fall, or which arm he actually fractured.
