No compensation from SAF accepted, says family of Pte Dominique Sarron Lee

The family of the late Private Dominique Sarron Lee has clarified that they have not accepted any compensation from the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF), following a statement released by the Singapore Army yesterday (Mar 7).

In a post published on a Facebook page dedicated to Lee on Mar 8, the family said: "(We have) repeatedly rejected offers from MINDEF/SAF to discuss monetary compensation.

"We have only accepted a funeral grant to defray the cost of the funeral, on the same day Dominique was sent back home in a coffin.

"This grant, according to the SAF, is not part of the compensation.

Why MINDEF says that family has accept compensation? The top brass in MINDEF should stop it now. Have they not caused enough grief for the family?

Then we have a defence minister that tries to distance himself from the issue. He can order MINDEF to waive the legal cost ...instead he advises MINDEF to do so. What the heck is he?

Mindef should waive legal costs for family of Pte Dominique Sarron Lee, says Ng Eng Hen

SINGAPORE - Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen announced on Monday night that his ministry should waive the legal costs that the family of full-time national serviceman Dominique Sarron Lee has to pay, after the High Court threw out its lawsuit against the Singapore Armed Forces and its two officers.

The court had ruled last Thursday (March 3) that Private Lee's family had to pay costs of $22,000 to the three defendents.

But Dr Ng said in a Facebook post that Mindef "should waive the costs to the family".

He explained that while the High Court's judgment in awarding Mindef costs is based on sound legal grounds and precedents, there was no need to "add to the pain and anguish of the family of the late Pte Lee".

Dr Ng added that the SAF "must learn from every accident, fix lapses and improve".

"This is the way we honour all those who have given their all to build a strong and honourable SAF," he said in his note, which he also sent to staff of his ministry and the SAF.

"When emotions are running high, we must respect the decisions made by our Courts, who have come to an objective and impartial assessment given all the facts," said Dr Ng, adding that a Coroner's inquiry has ruled on the cause of Pte Lee's death.

"We should also emphasise to our SAF commanders that they should continue to train their men professionally, with due regard for safety regulations. I know that our commanders care for their men and that no one wishes for their trainees to be injured or worse still, face death."

"We should also emphasise to our SAF commanders that they should continue to train their men professionally, with due regard for safety regulations. I know that our commanders care for their men and that no one wishes for their trainees to be injured or worse still, face death."

This is just lip service. We need MINDEF to accept that it has a CONTRACTUAL obligation to protect our soldiers. And that it will be responsible and accountable.
Since the court accept its stance of NO contractual obligation, the law must change. There is NO reason why our soldiers should serve the country when their lives are treated with such deep nonchalance.
