Mandatory alcohol tests will show lack of respect to pilots

Mandatory routine alcohol and drug tests for pilots before take-off are not procedures that should be implemented, though I am in favour of random tests for them (Make alcohol tests for pilots mandatory, by Mr Lim Boon Seng; Sept 21).

Such tests would be an insult to the core of the profession. These pilots are professionals and should be accorded due respect and recognition. In return, the pilots are expected to be disciplined and responsible as hundreds of lives depend on them in the air.

Singapore Airlines (SIA) is one of the top airlines in the world, with one of the best safety and service records. It achieved this status not by mere luck, but through decades of careful planning, hard work and consistent teamwork from all the staff concerned, including the pilots. So, let us keep up with the good teamwork.

However, I fully agree that pilots should be physically fit to carry out their duties well.

Perhaps SIA could form a committee to routinely check on the pilots and ensure that they are physically and mentally fit at all times.

Prison warden feedback to forum page lah.

Culture in prison is all about respect, hierarchy.
He respects the pilot just like he respects his senior officer lah.
Probably is like warrant officer write to forum, letter contents is expected lah.
Probably is pensioner, with FOC medical treatment, everytime see doctor for foc, pray to LKY altar at home huan.

Forum: Singapore Prison Service has come a long way as it marks 75th anniversary

PUBLISHED: JUL 8, 2021, 12:32 AM SGT



As a former prison officer who was with the service for 32 years, I am delighted that the Singapore Prison Service (SPS) is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year (S'pore Prison Service's 75-year history a saga of wartime horrors and peacetime rehabilitation, July 5).



The SPS has come a long way from the time Singapore inherited the prisons from the British in the 1960s.



Today, the prisons and drug rehabilitation centres (DRCs) are centralised in Changi and have high-tech facilities and advanced security. But in those days, there were at least 14 institutions spread all over Singapore, with poor facilities and inadequate security.



Mr A. Muthucumarasamy told The Sunday Times that when he was a prison officer in the 1970s, he played football with inmates ('We played football with inmates', July 4).



For rehabilitation to be more effective, the prison officers cannot remain aloof, but must get involved with the inmates' activities to understand them better, like a teacher.

To be a good prison officer, a tertiary education and a strong physique are not enough. One must have passion, empathy and the innate desire and love to serve fellow human beings who have fallen.

In the SPS, the emphasis is on rehabilitation. Singapore has a small population with limited talents. Hence every person in the prisons and DRCs is important, and would be able to contribute to the economic growth of Singapore when released from custody.



But at the same time, the SPS is fully aware that proper rehabilitation cannot take place without tight security in place. Therefore, it places equal importance on security as well.

The SPS has come a long way to be one of the best prisons and DRCs in the world. While the current prison officers have tenaciously built on the legacies of their predecessors, the latter should be remembered and their contributions appreciated when celebrating the 75th anniversary.

Lanjiao lang always write to the Shitty Times Forum, make no mistake about it.

Especially those who had their submissions published multiple times.

 

[nayr69sg]

If got nothing to hide and compliant and abstain from this sort of substance abuse then why scared?

I don't hear professional sportsmen, tennis players, sprinters, football players, basketball players who are also professional complain right?

I am sure Lewis Hamilton does random testing too.

It's not disrespect to demand all kelings take alcohol test or m&ds to take drug test.

Fucking mothers and daughters is a norm for m&d. They are puzzle why everyone makes a big deal. To them, it is their way of life and slowly it will becomes their culture. One fine day, they will argue that fucking mothers and daughters should be made legal for them.

Entitlement is a better word to use as entitlement is a right. Privileges on the other hand can b taken away anytime
