Hell i didnt realise got so many case. If you can remember the year. I will need to excel all these

 

[whoami]

For SAF. Spent billions n billions of dollars on yearly defence budget. Not a single war been fought! Yet so many casualities!

 

[Leongsam]

Considering the fact that NS has been with us for more than half a century the safety record speaks for itself and I would like to congratulate the top echelons of the SAF for taking safety seriously and for keeping all of us safe and secure while training.

The number of soldiers killed while traveling to camp either through their own recklessness or the reckless actions of others far exceeds those killed in training incidents probably by a factor of 100 or more.

There were definitely more than one case at Maju Camp. Around the mid-late 2000s. I was once a RT personnel there.

This one happened in December 2005:

This one died due to allergies caused by the smoke from a smoke grenade. My little birds told me this guy was from Seletar Camp... could be a combat engineer.
