Translated:
SIA pilot with more than 35 years service in death fall had huge gambling debt.
Police Media Relations Officer Keong Kooi Cheng said that Anthony Tan Chin Kiat, 56 was found on the second floor of Blk 14 Ghim Moh Road at about 10.40pm on 14 July 2005.
Initial investigations are that he had fallen from one of the corridors of the building. He did not have any identification papers on him.
Unnamed sources say that he may have committed suicide because of his huge gambling debts. But the police say that they are still investigating the cause of death.
The deceased lived with his family in a private apartment on Holland Road.
He went missing after he had driven to Ghim Moh Road to drop a friend off. That friend later drove his car back to Tan's home without realising that Tan had died.
An SIA spokesperson expressed deep regret over his death, saying that he had made valuable contributions to the company for more than 35 years serving in various management positions.

Moderate, Modest & Mild.
Holy ferkin' Moses - it took a dangle on the SQ line to get SLASHER out of retirement.
Onya mate
Yes, Tony always was a "high flyer" - I remember the stories of him going on gambling cruises that had MINIMUM bets of SGD1M
Regardless though, he leaves behind a family - and they (like OUR families) - had/have nothing to do with what goes on at work, nor in the level of involvement of social activities of ANY of us.
Tony Tan was well known in SQ. Like all, he had his fans, and his detractors.
In Death we ALL become equals!

Geez mate - is that all....I don't mean that in any demeaning manner though.
You aren't the first - take it from someone who's copped it in 3 out of the 4 corners.
All the same, it hits hard each and every time.
So you've got a sympathetic ear.
(pm me your tel no.)
But WELCOMEfarkinBACK!
