Best known for playing kopitiam assistant Ah Cai in the 1980s Channel 8 series Neighbours, Duan has grappled with diabetes since the age of 22.
In an interview with The Straits Times at the time, Duan admitted: “I thought I was strong and would accept the loss of my leg in a day or two. 世界杯下注app But it took a few days... People tell me to be strong and that is easy to say. But when you are in the thick of things, it is hard to do.” – The Straits Times/Asia News Network
Duan will be returning to the hospital for regular follow-ups 世界杯游戏下注app . In the meantime, he is getting used to needing a wheelchair or crutches to get around.
His current cheerfulness is a stark contrast to his more melancholic mood early last week.

Singaporean actor Duan Weiming has been discharged from hospital after his recent leg amputation.
He had a previous amputation scare on his right leg in June 2020.
Chinese newspaper Shin Min Daily News reported that the 61-year-old was discharged last Thursday (Sept 22). The surgery had taken place in early September, and saw his left leg amputated below the knee.
He also shared his relief to finally be out of the hospital, saying: “After being bedridden for many days, my spine began to feel sore. I 世界杯竞猜下注app t was very hard, and I often lost sleep at night. I couldn't help but say to the doctor, 'Even if I die, I will die in my own home.' I am so happy (to be home).”
“I have to learn and accept it. I can't expect someone to push me (on the wheelchair) every day.”
Duan said he was surprised by the show of support from friends new and old, including a long-lost classmate who came to pick him up from the hospital on the day of his discharge, and neighbours who left food outside his door.
The recent procedure followed a series of misfortunes: His adoptive mother died in recent weeks, and he was in a motorcycle accident two months ago. |
