Senior Minister of State for Manpower Zaqy Mohamad, who is an MP for the Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC, expressed his condolences to the family of Miss Loke, a resident of his ward, in a Facebook post yesterday.
He has "asked NParks to check and review the condition of the trees and the safety of facilities in the area".
According to Dr Leong, the trees were checked yesterday "as a precautionary measure" and the park "remains open and is safe for the public to visit". He added: "With the strengthening of our tree management regime over the years, the annual number of tree incidents has fallen from about 3,100 cases in year 2001 to about 420 in 2019 and around 340 cases as of end 2020."
She got on her motorcycle at the end of her shift but Dag Loke was not heading to her home in Woodlands that night. She had found an injured squirrel and she was taking it to a clinic in Upper Serangoon.
"It was midnight… That's the kind of person she was," said Ms Dawn Tan, 54, a Mediacorp news presenter, as she recounted the incident.
It was Ms Tan who had referred Loke to her veterinarian friend. Loke then swiftly tucked the squirrel in her jacket and rode to the clinic to try to save its life.
Loke’s kindness and compassionate nature was what came through in the anecdotes her colleagues shared with TODAY.
Dag Loke died on Feb 18, 2021 after a tree fell on her at Marsiling Park.
On Wednesday, the night before she died, Loke shared her aspirations with some friends during a farewell dinner for studio director Mageswaran Nethagi, who is now serving his notice with Mediacorp.
"She spoke a lot that day, telling us about her career plans," Mr Mageswaran, 35, said.
"Little did we know that the farewell wasn't for me." [2]
