Those who wish to bid him farewell can do so from Saturday noon to Sunday noon at 82A MacPherson Lane, the talent agency who managed the actor said.

“A private wake for the family will take place on Saturday morning. We respectfully appreciate the privacy given during this period,” it added.

This comes a day after agency co-founder Dasmond Koh told reporters that a public memorial service is being considered for Corporal First Class (NS) Pang.

The actor, 28, died on Wednesday night from injuries suffered last Saturday during a military exercise in New Zealand.

CFC (NS) Pang was carrying out repair works inside a Singapore Self-Propelled Howitzer and suffered serious injuries to his chest and abdomen when the gun barrel was lowered, the Ministry of Defence said.

He was evacuated to Waikato Hospital, a regional trauma centre in Hamilton, south of Auckland, where he underwent three operations in five days.

Earlier, NoonTalk Media had posted on Facebook that CFC (NS) Pang’s body was on the way back from Auckland. The post read: “Dear friends, Aloysius is on his way home. We are finalising plans for his farewell.

“We are aware that many of you would like to say goodbye. We will be releasing more details shortly. Thank you for your patience and understanding.”
