Artery severely blocked?  But he said he has good cholesterol levels etc le. Lucky he did not get heart attack and managed to found out during a health check and get treatment.

Looks like artery blockage common in many people. It is like a time bomb. 😅

He claims that he is not sedentary and cholesterol level all ok.

Can any doc explain why major artery can still get blocked? Puzzled to know why.

Because normally we rely on these - blood pressure, cholesterol, BMI, etc. - to decide we are at low risk of any blockage; not everyone can afford or wants to pay for extensive cardiac health check on regular/annual basis.

I recall that someone told me before large artery gets blocked, the deposits would have clogged up smaller blood vessels and capillaries first, i.e. ED is an early warning sign

Low risk doesn't mean no risk. I was told my chance of getting heart disease was 5% (jumped from 2% as I crossed age band) but still discovered blockage when scanned.

He danced with the devil known as KH. 🤣

This one can ask volvobrick. He also a member of the club. 

You are right. Most people can’t do extensive cardiac check on a regular basis but he can. Every month also can if he want.

Say easy but do it very difficult lo. How not to have stress and anxiety from daily life le. 😅

We can't remove stress entirely, but we can minimize it. 

I can give so many ways to do this (long story), but I dun wan to go off topic on a Parliament thread...😄

Leong Mun Wai files formal complaint against Murali Pillai to Speaker of Parliament for 'imputing improper motives' on him

I usually support WP lah....however, I find it difficult to swallow what Ms Lim proposes this time.  

I worry about her follow up suggestions :

1. To abolish car insurance. Let LTA fully compensate drivers in an accident regardless of fault.
2. HDB to fully reimburse home owners for any house burglary.

😁

WP MP Sylvia Lim calls for banks to fully reimburse scam victims; Govt says idea 'neither fair nor desirable'

• Workers' Party chairman Sylvia Lim urged the Government to hold banks fully responsible for losses incurred by scam victims
• Mr Alvin Tan, Minister of State for Trade and Industry, said that this would be "neither fair nor desirable" and can lull users into complacency

Thanks to our President, I can now better justify to my boss how I intend to pick up a sideline "in private capacity" and promise not to divulge any company secrets.  😁

 Btw, I wonder if our Parliament would do the same for TKL if he had won the presidency.   🙄

Parliament passes law for President, ministers to hold international roles in private capacity

Opportunities to serve in international institutions do not come by all the time and should be treasured, says Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong.

• Singapore's President can now take up international roles in a private capacity if the Cabinet advises it is in the national interest to do so
• Safeguards will be in place, including not to comment on domestic politics and laws, not making commitments on behalf of the government or Singapore, and not keeping any pay or benefits
• There is also a legal framework for ministers to accept international roles in a private capacity, which they have already done in the past

With the passage of the Constitution of the Republic of Singapore (Amendment No. 3) Bill, the President can perform international roles when the Cabinet advises that it is in the national interest to do so.

The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) tabled the amendments at the last parliamentary sitting on Nov 6, saying in a media release that holding such positions can enhance Singapore’s international standing.
