Chew absent from ceremony

Based on photos shared on Instagram, Chew did not appear to have attended the graduation ceremony in person.

He was only pictured with Chloe at home, where he was seen perched on a high stool.

According to 8world, his absence could be related to health conditions he has been experiencing in recent years, which might have affected his mobility.

Chew suffers from Kennedy's disease, a rare condition that leads to muscular atrophy.

He was diagnosed in 2008 with the condition, which results in wasting and weakening of muscles, affecting mobility, as well as speaking and swallowing abilities.

The disease affects one out of 40,000 in Singapore.

There is no cure for it, only the allaying of symptoms.
