Jamus Lim hospitalised with pneumonia
His blood oxygen level had fallen to the "low 90s".
Jamus Lim, a Workers Party MP, has been hospitalized with pneumonia, which developed after he was seen sniffling in Parliament on October 6. In a video that went viral, Lim repeatedly wiped his nose during his speech before Diana Pang provided him with a tissue to help. The MP, representing the Sengkang GRC, revealed in a Facebook post on October 12 that his condition worsened over the weekend, with his blood oxygen level falling to the low 90s, which is below the healthy range of 95 to 100 percent.
Lim had initially planned to take the rest of that week off but ultimately required hospitalization. His absence from his regular MP duties, including a meet-the-people session on October 12, a weekly house visit, estate walks, and coffeeshop chit-chats, has been announced. However, the scheduled MPS will proceed with the assistance of Sengkang volunteers.
Lim assured residents that he would continue to address appeal letters and catch up on his email backlog, while requesting their understanding during this period.
