Heartfelt Condolences: A Community Comes Together for MP Baey Yam Keng
On Tuesday, May 21, Singaporeans were saddened to learn about the passing of Baey Yam Chuan, the younger brother of Member of Parliament (MP) Baey Yam Keng. At just 50 years old, he tragically passed away on May 16 due to a brain haemorrhage while working in Abu Dhabi, where he had been for the past six years.
A Personal Loss
Baey Yam Keng, 53, who serves as Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Transport and Sustainability and the Environment, took to social media to share the news and announce a memorial service for his brother on Sunday. He expressed his sorrow and the responsibility he felt as the eldest brother to inform those who knew Yam Chuan, as he was not in regular contact with his brother’s friends and former colleagues.
Yam Chuan leaves behind a 13-year-old son, and with the help of the Singapore Embassy, his employer, ADNOC (Abu Dhabi National Oil Company), and friends in Abu Dhabi, his ashes were brought back to Singapore for the memorial service.
