The man was from the OneChangi contingent for the Parade and Ceremony segment.

He collapsed at 11.23am at the end of a component rehearsal, the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) and Changi Airport Group (CAG) said in a joint media release.

"He was immediately evacuated to the on-site medical post and arrived at 11.26am, where he was attended by the duty medical officer. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was administered immediately," they added.

The man remained unresponsive and was transferred to a standby Singapore Armed Forces ambulance at 11.42am.
