For some reason, I thought he was recovering and never expect it to be that serious that he would die.
Sincere apologies for my earlier stupid, inappropriate and insensitive comments in Msg 63.

During 1 instance in my reservist, my 3-ton driver had told me that they had even put reservists with no driving license as vehicle commanders before. I was like: What the fuck? How can these reservists be assigned as vehicle commanders when they don't even know how to drive a vehicle? It's fucking inappropriate and ridiculous, especially in times of emergency. I considered myself qualified since I have Classses 2A to 5. I then brought this up to my OC on why they are assigning reservists with inappropriate qualification to their vocations? As expected, he just couldn't answer to me satisfactorily. What the fuck is MINDEF doing?It's very sad but in almost every instance of death in recent years, it is the commanders who screwed up resulting in the ultimate sacrifice by the men.
You privy to COI details which are not even released yet to reach your conclusions?
body not even cold yet and already shifting blame to the deceased? How desperate are the bosses?
So how negligent is it for the SAF to allow clumsy people to operate heavy machinery? Knowing someone is clumsy and yet deploy them in a capacity where they pose a danger to themselves?
yeah, that i agree.. he is now the same level as that single-mum model-turned-politician, Kevryn Lim.To politicise a tragic accident is abhorrent and unethical. Lim Tean should be ashamed of himself.
Just watched the live interview of Desmond Xu and Aloysius bro...
Quite sad.
SAF should take responsible of all these!
its all painted in the Press Interview.
the clue is - no post Promotion for CFC Pang to Sgt . sad.

Are the commanders reservists too? I tend to believe they are. They're just going through the motion to complete their cycle. Hence, they are not professional operators of these ultra heavy and dangerous equipment. The blind leading the blind, and the ones at the bottom of the totem pole suffer.It's very sad but in almost every instance of death in recent years, it is the commanders who screwed up resulting in the ultimate sacrifice by the men.
Says a lot about the training standards and values that are imparted to trainees at Sispec and OCS. I question how far up the rot goes within the SAF.
Many of us fantasized about putting a bullet through the backside of commander xxx, yyy or zzz during war times. No need to wonder why.
Pray for no war. Many commanders will fall to friendly fire.
That's very decent of you.For some reason, I thought he was recovering and never expect it to be that serious that he would die.

I thought it was the reservist commanders tat had more common sense n closer to the men than those regulars. Normally regulars r the guailan onesUsually reservist commanders. But my reservist unit had a mutiny and refused to move out for exercise because of fcuked up reservist commanders, HQ panic and a regular CO had to be parachuted in to save the day. Reservist CO was given the sack and finger by the men. Power to the men. None of the men were charged.

Exactly, I question the competence and ability of reservist commanders. They are obliged to perform their reservist duties just the same as NCOs. But the danger is when they fucked up, others suffer, some die. Good on you and your fellow reservists for not taking BS.Usually reservist commanders.

When placed in-charged of massive war machines, I would rather a regular, professional person be at the wheel or in command. That's his rice bowl, that's all he does year in, year out. Not some guy who doesn't want to be there, and has a career elsewhere.I thought it was the reservist commanders tat had more common sense n closer to the men than those regulars.
