Female SCDF paramedic trainee in ICU after motorcycle accident at Bartley Road East

A 22-year-old female Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) paramedic trainee (PMT) sustained serious injuries in an accident involving two motorcycles on Feb 11 and is currently warded in the intensive care unit (ICU) at Changi General Hospital (CGH).

PMT Nuruljannah Binte Mohammad Razib, who was riding pillion on a motorcycle, was on the way to a work-related event with a 23-year-old SCDF full-time national serviceman (NSF) when they met with an accident along Bartley Road East towards Tampines.

Ms Nuruljannah, the NSF and the other motorcyclist sustained injuries in the accident. The two motorcyclists were in a conscious state but Ms Nuruljannah was unconscious when taken to CGH.

Stomp was alerted to the incident after a Stomper shared a photo of a letter written by Ms Nuruljannah's father to Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura (MUIS) that had been circulating online.

In the letter dated Feb 15, Mr Mohammad Razib Samsudin writes in Malay that his daughter is in a critical condition following a road traffic accident and is warded in the ICU at CGH.

He requests for them to pray for her during Friday prayers.

In response to a Stomp media query, SCDF provided the following statement regarding the accident:
