Last Friday, The Malay Mail reported that 24 trainee commandos had been admitted to Banting Hospital on Nov 28 due to the disease that is commonly associated with rat’s urine. However, RMAF public relations officer Major Kamarulzaman Ali yesterday clarified that the actual number of trainees admitted was 32. He also confirmed the trainee’s death at Klang Hospital, where the critical duo were admitted. “On Nov 28, 32 trainee commandos from RMAF Special Air Service (Paskau) were admitted to the hospital, believed to be due to ‘leptospirosis infection’. “The disease was detected after the trainees complained of coughs on Monday morning during their daily medical check-up with our doctor. “Following that, 32 trainees were rushed to Banting Hospital. Out of that total, two were deemed in critical condition and were transferred to Klang Hospital,” he said. Kamarulzaman said 13 trainees were discharged last Thursday and another 13 the next day. “The 26 discharged trainees were sent back to Bukit Jugra RMAF base to be quarantined and fully monitored by our doctor.” He said it was believed that the trainees were infected in their training area, which has been closed down since. “We are not locking down the entire Bukit Jugra RMAF base because the infection area is not in our base camp,” said Kamarulzaman. Meanwhile, he said currently there are another four trainees in Banting Hospital and another in Klang Hospital, with all reported to be in stable condition. “We are also updating their family members from time to time on their condition. “We are awaiting the full report from the army’s Health Corps. So far, no new cases have been found,” said Kamarulzaman. Last Thursday, Defence Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi confirmed the soldiers had been infected by leptospirosis. Health Ministry officers had conducted checks at the RMAF base, including scouring the Bukit Jugra jungle area where the victims were believed to have undergone final training. The training was supposed to have ended on Dec 1. Health Ministry officials have since descended on the army base to ensure there was no outbreak. http://www.mmail.com.my/content/86956-trainee-commando-dies
