National servicemen killed in line of duty over the years

[Thick Face Black Heart]

i doubt that.....u honestly think the white horse company of whiter than white politics are allowed to even be exposed to the slightest mortal danger?hundreds of sinkie grunts and test subjects would have died before any contaminated soil is given to the prince of KFC.

This was extremely lethal soil bacteria!

In 2004, 15 Singaporeans died in one outbreak alone. It had the potential to be an even bigger pandemic than bubonic plague. If it wasn't for the selfless efforts of Dr Patrick Tan, half of Singapore could have been wiped out.

i know...i know...patrick tan is a very selfless person just like any jealous good old cronies of lky...correct?

Without the sacrifices of people like Dr Patrick Tan, Singapore would not the great country that it is today.

Singapore was not built by just only such people.

1968 [Source]

First reported training death in October 1968. In that incident, Recruit Allen Tan Chong Huat, 19, was stung by hornets in the Chua Chu Kang forest. He was rushed to Taman Jurong Camp but there was no doctor on duty there ( military doctors then clocked an 8am to 5pm shift). What’s more, the garrison’s ambulance was out on another call. So Recruit Tan’s officers rushed him to the main road to flag down a passing vehicle. It took an hour to get him to hospital.

will you say that for every one who commits suicide?

 

[Leongsam]

Pretty much. However, I make an exception for those with terminal illnesses. Being in the position that I am in, I can well understand why a person would like to end things a bit more quickly rather than extend the suffering.

What terminal illness do you have, pray tell? HIV? (Thinking of your BKK consultations.)

HIV is no longer terminal.

what 5% ? the whole thing will collapse 100%. singapore soldiers is u chiong 1st, u chiong then i chiong.when i went back for reservist armour camp, on the last day out process, they ask all the reservists to do a Anonymous survey, asking shit like do u have confident when war break out? do u have confident in logistic? do u have confident in your company's co?lol . i overheard one guy next to me doing survey, he say something like' of coz fill in all good lah, wanna do or not is difference thing'.

so i ask u are u willing to fight along side with this person?

anonymous survey still scare to write the truth? that NSman really useless.

the trainers very scare reservists' survey result as it affect their kpi. even the cookhouse need to kio tolong when reservists give lousy rating on food. no need to give face to ATC. Gaga whack inside survey.

Cookhouse food only good on the day there is survey. Most of the time, I eat at the canteen.

cookhouse food everyday need to give rating. my last 2 ICTs, many in the battalion give lousy rating until the cookhouse in charge (ex regular) stand beside the rating machine to scare the reservists. bloody idiot as reservists not even scare of camp rsm so no one give a shit to this ex regular and keep pressing the lousy button till this idiot had shouting match with us reservists. Nothing against the cookhouse staff but reservists give lousy rating because SFI cut corners and food really not up to scratch.

ATC canteen CMI, only the malay stall food is good. the Chinese stall food msg laden. At night order pizzas and chicken to collect via the main gate better.

I witness to stupid saf cockup that led to a scholarship holder having his brain fry due to heat exhaustion and heli-evac to sgh. nobody was punish as saf declare accident but the recruit already voiced out not feeling well during fall in but kenna accuse of chao keng and force to do PT. bmt sgt return M16 with live round in chamber, which fire off inside armskote as the armskote assistant press trigger on every M16 on the rack, blow a hole in the wall. lucky nobody standing in front of the M16 and behind that wall.

training in armour really live by the knife edge as accidents happen all the time. M113 drove in the reservoir in high speed which result in 4 out of the 8 crew enter NUH A&E. Driver misjudged the muddy condition and pivot into the longkang. drove into a deep tiger trap in kanchanburi and nearly overturn. SM1 again nearly overturn after driver drove into the ditch at the side of the track. the above are just some of the incidents I experience or witness during nsf in gedong, proof to me beyond reasonable doubts that the stupid saf overturning drill is useless. we didn't have the time to even shout vehicle overturn in each of the above accidents happened.

SM1 tank overturn drill works. I have seen it work. It saved the life of a tank commander I know. When it doesn't work, means the TC not alert to his situation. The tank usually starts to change angle, and than it becomes more rapid until its not recoverable and it overturns. Its not usually a very sudden split second thing. If the TC is not alert, than he is usually the one that pays for it with his life. i heard of one case where the TC's torso was severed when the AMX-13 overturned and the commander's hatch ring overturned on his torso. Usually driver and gunner are ok, even when the driver is driving hatch open.
