n 2009, MINDEF also decided for operational reasons that NSFs should be part of a military unit during their entire NS. Since then, we have stopped deploying national servicemen to DMRI or other research agencies.

Can anyone before 2009 stand up and say they served NS in DMRI besides Tan?

They can justify anything as long as it is to their benefits.
Colonel Gaddafi did it for 42 years.

I would openly urge Mindef to publish all the names of those who have disrupted for 12 year medical course in US. I also urge Mindef to publish the colleges which they attended and indicate whether the medical courses of these colleges were recognized by Singapore Health Ministry to practice medicine in Singapore or not.

Apparently, Mindef, at the very least, has committed negligence in carrying out the deferment policy with regards to Dr Patrick Tan because the college which he chose to study did not qualify for Singapore Medicine practice.

If the idea of deferment was purely to supplement SAF with medical doctors, to act as Medical Officers, then SAF should make sure that the courses its officers took as well as the colleges they went, would be recognized by Singapore Health Ministry to practice medicine. I don't think SAF is that stupid to overlook such finer details. In fact, SAF has been very stringent and selective in giving deferment to individual soldiers, scrutinizing their courses and colleges chosen in the past.

Furthermore, the Minister of Defence has just contradicted himself. Such deferment is to get enough MO for SAF but in the end, Dr Patrick Tan did not complete his officer cadet course to become medical officer. Please publish the names of those who have been granted under the same scheme for Medical Officer but eventually did not complete their OCS.

Yes, all MO have to go through OCS because if they don't, they won't understand how the army works in war and how battles are fought. The various battle SOP will affect their supporting role on the warfront.

Of course, during peace time, most of them only stay in Medical Centre but when they go into reservist, it will be more challenging to them.

What friggin pathetic attempt at bluffing!

Firstly this bugger Ng was not the one who made the decision to have Patrick stretch or defer for 12 years. It his father TT who was then DM.. So how did Ng know the iterations TT made to give easy life to his precious son. Making known the list retrospective and in future does not cleanse the dirt off this fiaisco! Is there another bloke who took 12 easy years? If the bugger Patrick is so good, why he was only a corporal?
More questions than answers..... I see lots of skeletons floating in the dirty water.

30 plus NSFs have served at the air-con DMRI. 30 golden children were lucky. Only one whose father is now President entered the "limelight".

Will the others please stand up and support Tan?

The fact that there were only 3 whom applied and all 3 were granted approval is already suspicious. Since our PM gave his promise to the people to be more open, can the people then be given a full disclosure of these disruptees.
