SAF Doctor Found Dead in Melbourne

It seems like Melbourne is the destination of choice for many Singaporeans.
Be it to make a living, or it seems, a place to die.

An SAF doctor has been AWOL since October last year and believed to be in Melbourne for the duration leading up till his death.
Firstly, if the Singapore government "believes" he is in Melbourne, why was there no attempt to extract him?

The body of Captain (Dr) Allan Ooi was found under the Westgate Bridge in the south Australian city on Tuesday, police from the state of Victoria told The Straits Times.

The 2,600m long bridge across the Yarra River is a vital link between the city centre and Melbourne's western suburbs.

Now for those who don't know, Westgate bridge is a notoriously infamous place for suicides.

Police data show up to one suicide is reported every three weeks. Wow, next time you wanna jump, you know where to go!

I think it is an absolute shame that a brilliant doctor loses his life in such a manner. I can only say that I wish the SAF had put in more effort in searching for him. If he is such a valuable asset to the force, you will not allow him to go AWOL for that long a period.
