Sengkang MP Jamus Lim of the Workers' Party is currently hospitalised with pneumonia, the party confirmed on Wednesday. During his treatment and recovery, Lim will be unable to fulfil his regular parliamentary and constituency responsibilities.
The Workers' Party did not provide specific details regarding the timeline for Lim's return to his duties or the severity of his condition. However, the party indicated that arrangements would be made to ensure constituent matters are addressed during his absence.
Lim has represented Sengkang since the 2020 General Election, where the Workers' Party won the five-member group representation constituency. Pneumonia cases have been tracked across Singapore's healthcare system as part of routine disease surveillance.
The MP's hospitalisation comes as Singapore continues to monitor respiratory illness trends during the ongoing year. The public healthcare system has maintained capacity to manage such cases, according to health authorities.
