Workers' Party chief Pritam Singh has paid Low Thia Khiang a visit at home at the first instance he was able to when phase two kicked in on June 19, 2020.

This visit came close to two months after Pritam's mentor and his party's former secretary-general fell at home on April 30 and had to be admitted to the Intensive Care Unit.

According to a Facebook post by Pritam after the visit, Low is reported to be "recovering steadily", but taking it slow, as advised by the doctors.

Pritam wrote that Low is raring to go, but will take the doctor's advice.

You can read Pritam's full post here:

I visited Mr Low at his home this evening to see how he was doing after his bad fall in April. I had to speak to him over the phone before this as the enhanced circuit breaker prevented me from visiting him earlier.

Mr Low is recovering steadily, but as advised by doctors, has been told not to rush his recovery. For a man of his drive and sense of purpose, I can imagine this advice is difficult for him to abide by! But in view of the seriousness of his injuries, he is sticking to the doctor's orders. Mr Low is touched and grateful for all the words of concern and support, and thanks everyone.

Background

He was discharged after three weeks:
