"I feel sick", Law and Home Affairs Minister K. Shanmugam said on Facebook.

This was after a troll - Raymond Tan - decided to make light of Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat's stroke by asking Minister Shanmugam whether there will be a by-election soon.

Shanmugam asked whether Tan had any "sense of compassion" and told him to think about Heng's wife and his children.

Heng, 54, collapsed at a weekly Cabinet meeting on Thursday (May 12) after suffering a stroke.

He is currently under close monitoring in the intensive care unit in Tan Tock Seng Hospital following neurosurgery.

Minister Shanmugam posted earlier this evening, saying that he noticed that Heng has been looking very tired and that he told Heng that "he was overworking so much that it will affect his health."
