  1. R.I.P. A SAF regular died in Nee Soon Camp Yahoo news: SAF regular found dead at Nee Soon Camp A Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) regular of Military Expert 2 (ME2) rank is believed to have died at Nee Soon Camp on Friday morning. Yahoo Singapore understands the deceased, whose name has not been revealed, was a senior course instructor from the SAF’s Medical Training Institute. He is believed to have hanged himself. It is not clear if the deceased was pronounced dead at Nee Soon Camp or elsewhere. An ambulance, CID (Criminal Investigation Department) vehicle, five police cars, and military police were spotted by an eyewitness at Nee Soon Camp around the time of the incident, said to be 8.15am. If confirmed, this would be the third suicide by hanging of an SAF regular in the last three years, after a 2nd Sergeant at Changi Naval Base in 2012 and a 1st Warrant Officer at a Lentor training area in 2013. link: https://sg.news.yahoo.com/saf-regular-found-dead-at-nee-soon-camp-052535123.html
  2. SEES OVERWHELMING DEMAND WOR MCF LADIES - what say you? https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/boot-camp-for-women-to-experience-ns-sees-overwhelming-demand-more-than-1000-gun-for-100 SINGAPORE - Would you pay to stay in a military bunk, eat combat rations and go on a route march? More than 1,000 women of all ages jumped at the chance to do so, signing up for a women's boot camp to experience what national service is like. Response for the overnight camp was so overwhelming that the organiser, Ang Mo Kio Women's Executive Committee (WEC), had to conduct balloting for the 100 slots up for grabs. The camp, which the organiser promoted as a "golden opportunity" to go through NS activities, will take place from Sept 1 to 2 at Maju Camp in Clementi. Participants will take part in a 3km route march, handle the SAR21 rifle and taste combat rations, among other activities. The women will also get to stay overnight in military bunks. Each participant pays $55. PAssion card members get a $10 discount. The camp was announced on July 17 in a Facebook post by the Women's Integration Network Council, which is the coordinating body for the 105 WECs in Singapore. The post attracted almost 3,000 shares and more than 2,000 comments. Among the 100 who managed to secure a place for the camp, the youngest participant is 13 years old, while the oldest is 64, the organising committee told The Straits Times. The average age of the participants is about 29. Ms Joanna Portilla, chairman of Ang Mo Kio WEC, said: "Through this camp, the organisers hope to give women a glimpse of what our national servicemen go through so that they can better relate to national servicemen's experiences and demonstrate stronger support and involvement in NS and defence. "We are very grateful for the overwhelming response from the public. This shows that women are keen to play a part in supporting national service." Those who failed to clinch a spot will be notified from Sunday (Aug 19) onwards. Ms Portilla added that the committee is open to the possibility of organising similar initiatives in the future. The camp is part of an initiative by the Advisory Council on Community Relations in Defence (Accord) which facilitates initiatives from the community that better support national defence and NS, among other roles. The success of the Dads for Life Camp, which saw more than 200 father-son pairs take part in an overnight camp at the F1 Pit Building last year, inspired Accord to suggest a similar experience for women, said Ms Portilla. That camp was organised by the Centre for Fathering. Administrative executive Tabatha Lim, 19, will be joining the upcoming camp with a friend. Ms Lim, who is excited about being able to handle the SAR21 rifle, told ST: "I was really excited when I got to know about the boot camp as I have always been very curious about what it's like to serve NS. "We spend a lot of time listening to so many stories from our male friends, brothers, fathers, and we never got to experience it ourselves unless we decide to sign on with the army. So this is the perfect opportunity to do so." Civil servant Lee Yet Wei, 30, also applied to join the women's camp because she was curious about NS life, and what it is like to stay in the bunks. She said: "Such an opportunity doesn't always come by, and it is an experience I am looking forward to."
  3. No Photography, No Video Recording....... But Camera Phone allowed .... CNA report: 14 military camps to allow servicemen to bring in camera phones Posted: 31 August 2012 1336 hrs SINGAPORE: Fourteen military camps in Singapore will allow servicemen to bring in camera phones, starting from 1 September. Previously, all camera equipped mobile devices were disallowed in camps. The move is part of a six- to nine-month trial to give servicemen added convenience while performing their national service duties. Camps will be divided into "green" and "red" zones. Green zones are where camera phones will be allowed. When a servicemen enters a more sensitive red zone, camera phones have to be temporarily surrendered. Pulau Tekong Camp, Bedok Camp and Khatib Camp are taking part in the trial. - CNA/al Nowadays, which camera handphone do now have video recording facilities...
  4. Anything to do in Batu Pahat? We will likely be going there in June for a church camp held at one of the hotels. Will probably have some free time to explore the sights (if any). Suggestions would be very helpful. Thanks.
  5. TL;DR: NSF(s) witnessed alleged dog abuse by warrant officer and / or LTC, films portion of abuse, hands video over to Animal Lovers League, who then uploads video online. SAF investigates, gets source from Animal Lovers League video uploader, allegedly promises no punishment for the video taker, charges NSF for taking video in green zone. Regulars not charged as SAF considers abuse not to have happened. TL;SR: (Too Long;Still bother to read) Sauce: http://www.todayonline.com/singapore/authorities-investigating-alleged-animal-abuse-pasir-ris-camp#inside Sauce for photo and second quote: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10202579205575576&set=a.10200303362400919.1073741825.1059662158&type=1 Thoughts? Personally I love dogs, though my family don't, so I can't keep them in the house. I'm angry at those who do abuse dogs, cats, or other animals. (Eating them is ok for me, I guess). The FB post is by the father of the NSF who tio SOL for doing the right thing (morally, if not by protocol). Can understand the father's annoyance (to put it mildly) when his son is punished and the regulars got away scot-free from their actions.
  6. Is this story true? Could anyone verify the authenticity? btw, what is Khatib Training Support Centre? I only know I go Khatib camp for RT & IPPT If this story is true, I feel sad for our Malay brother, who is also serving NS with us, who is fulfilling his duty as RP to point weapon at intruders who do not slow their vehicle! Yet the officer throw his weight around and send our Malay brother into DB! WTF! :angry: Source -- http://desparatebeep.blogspot.com/2012/03/major-wrongs.html
  7. Been going there for my non-ICT IPPTs during my last few years with them and I had always placed my valuables in one of the many lockers provided. Now that this Mr Gan had revealed all was not well and that his stuff actually got Ali Ba Ba'ed :wacko: Maybe bros going inside camps for IPPTs play safe just bring along 11B can liao [laugh] But the greater issue which was implied is the security issue. Non-working CCTVs in camps? Isolated incident perhaps? [rolleyes] From ST Forum: http://www.straitstimes.com/premium/forum-...orking-20130326 Wallet, phone go missing in army camp, but CCTV not working Published on Mar 26, 2013 I WENT for my remedial training at Bedok Camp on March 17. I placed my belongings in one of the lockers provided at the ground level. During the break, I went to check on my belongings and found that my wallet and mobile phone had gone missing. I immediately reported the incident to the army personnel at the training centre. I requested to view the closed-circuit television camera recording as my locker was in an area that was under CCTV surveillance. However I was told that the CCTV camera at the ground level was down. I have always thought that military premises are secure, but this incident has made me think otherwise. There should at least be annual checks on CCTV systems in military camps, so that any spoilt cameras can be fixed without delay. Gan Ka Hwee

  12. R.I.P. PTE Amirul... From CNA: http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin...1189249/1/.html NSF dies after he was found unconscious in army camp Posted: 15 March 2012 2258 hrs
  13. Any bros watched SH NGC: Inside Afghan ER? Saw the show last night and was somewhat traumatized.... It tells the real life experience of a US army combat hospital team in Camp Salerano in Afghanistan sometime in 2008 when the ISAF (International Security Assistance Force) and the Talibans/insurgents were slugging it out bitterly. Injured friends or foes alike were flown in via Blackhawks to be treated at the hospital which was made up of Americans. The traumatizing part was when two seriously injured 101st AB troopers, victims of a IED, were wheeled in. Their Humvee was obliterated in the process and three of their buddies were KIA on the spot. Their condition were actually very critical and the surgeon, a Lieutenant Colonel, made the painful decision to amputate all their legs as well as arms of the Lieutenant, one of the victims. The nurse then used a small electric saw and started working on one of the limbs (thankfully this footage was in B & W) after which she used both her hands to carry the sawed-off bloody human thigh to dump it in a red plastic bag to be disposed of. Once their conditions were stabilized, they were heavily sedated and readied to be flown out to Germany for a more proper medical treatment. The film crew also shot footages of Afghans, friendly and hostile, being sent in for treatment. One was a suspected insurgent and this guy was in real bad shape. He was basically gurgling in his own blood and dying of lack of breath so the medical team tried to cut an opening in his throat to help him breath but then he suddenly suffered a cardiac arrest. Despite their best efforts, the bad guy kaput and the Afghan crew then moved in to prepare the body as accordance to Afghan ritual. Really a powerful show. It showed the gruesome aspects of a bitter war where many perished and if not dead, some were maimed beyond recognition for life... [:(] One thing interesting was that some of the US army nurses were actually officers. One old man nurse was a Lieutenant while another, a woman, was a Captain.
  14. Oh no another tragic case of NS man dying during IPPT and this time after the 2.4km run... From CNA: http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin...1175904/1/.html NS man dies while undergoing in-camp training Posted: 10 January 2012 1708 hrs SINGAPORE: A Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) Operationally-Ready National Serviceman died Tuesday after completing a 2.4 kilometre run. A statement from the Defence Ministry said 28-year-old Corporal (CPL) (NS) Li Hongyang was taking his Individual Physical Proficiency Test when he fainted at about 8.30 am on Tuesday. The incident took place at Kranji Camp III. MINDEF said an SAF medic on site attended to Corporal Li immediately and evacuated him via a safety vehicle to the Kranji Medical Centre where an SAF doctor attended to him. Corporal Li was then sent to the Khoo Teck Puat Hospital at 9.00 am. MINDEF said the SAF doctor continued to resuscitate him in the ambulance en route to the hospital. Corporal Li was pronounced dead at 9.40 am at the hospital. Lieutenant-Colonel (NS) Gan Fong Yin, Commanding Officer of 62 Combat Service Support Battalion, said: "Hongyang was a cherished member of the battalion. His demise is definitely a loss to the battalion. We will miss him and our hearts go out to his family." - CNA/cc

  16. It's a condo, not a refugee camp 60Share By Gabbie Yeap The New Paper Friday, Oct 14, 2011 I READ with great interest the article, "Why aren't others doing the same?" (The New Paper, Oct 1) on an American woman here letting foreign workers stay in her condo unit for free. I must applaud Ms Debbie Fordyce for the good work she is doing, for having a heart of gold and helping foreign workers in Singapore. I agree that we should have more people engaging in such activities to help the needy. But when a noble cause is achieved at the expense of others, it is no longer so noble. In this instance, I wonder who the victims are - the foreign workers or her neighbours in the condo. In the course of achieving her goal of helping the foreign workers, she has inadvertently created a new group of aggrieved parties - her neighbours. While she is praised as a "Florence Nightingale in Singapore", her neighbours are depicted as unkind and unsupportive of her work by talking behind her back and giving the foreign workers nasty looks. But the fact that she has housed more than 100 foreign workers in her unit over the last three years and is still allowed to do so indicates that her neighbours are possibly the best condo neighbours one could hope for. I am surprised to read that there is a condo here that allows the housing of so many foreign workers in a unit. It is like a dormitory. Aren't there regulatory requirements to be complied with when you are housing so many foreign workers? I, for one, will no longer be enjoying a peaceful living environment if there is an influx of so many foreign workers in my condo. It's not that I am unsympathetic to the foreign workers, but the issue here is different, and it is not as simple as being a "class issue". It is something more personal. It involves the shared living space that one has paid such a high price for. Noble work with great intention, yes, but in this context, I would think it is also rather inconsiderate to interrupt the peaceful living of the others in the condo. The presence of so many foreign workers in my condo would definitely give me unnecessary anxiety and undue stress that I would not have expected when I decided to buy and live in a unit there. One would expect condo living to be different in terms of the quality of people living there as well as the standard of safety and security. Obviously, the quality of the people or the standard of safety and security varies according to the category of the condo and the individuals living there. But I would not expect any class of condo to become a humanitarian centre or refugee camp or even a dormitory for that matter. While it is great to know that there is a Florence Nightingale in Singapore, it would have been better if the same noble work could have been done without usurping and invading other people's rights of peaceful living and the space they had paid for. If I have the same ability and means, perhaps I will think of better ways to do this good deed. I will definitely not be doing what she is doing in a condo as I own only a portion of that shared living environment and space. One needs to respect the wishes of the other people sharing that environment and space. http://news.asiaone.com/News/AsiaOne+News/...012-304633.html So whats your view on this?
