LoL.. like this! Anyway.. he is doing NS not by his own choice.. and there are all sorts of people, just like in BnS forum.
You can't expect everyone to behave like you want them to..

Actually, that young 'man' is only partly to blame. Majority of the blame should go to his parents for what he is today. At least he knows the mistake he has made. His parents aren't even showing any repentance.

Although I am in disagreement with that young NSman that is in the highlight... and making us Singapore Military famous around the world (in a very bad way). However I must point out that there simply is nothing SAF could punish the young man.
I mean... there is no specific law saying that a NSman must not or could not hand his barang barang to a third party to carry.

even BBC reporting this http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12973263

it's in almost every country: thailand, england, australia, taiwan, malaysia, indonesia...
by the way, soldiers are supposed to be "tough". able to go into war staring death in the eyes... ok i jest. i watch too much 300.
when in uniform, even NSFs represent the nation's MEN.
what happens when the MEN are portrayed to be weaker women? ha. next thing you know, people'll be lobbying for women to serve NS as well since they're as tough "they can carry fieldpacks"
i'm sure it bruises many egos.when in uniform in public, NSFs and NSMEN and Regulars in the force are to carry themselves well. that means no foul mouthed swearing, no monkey business, no leaping around like a prancing ballerina and acting the fool. not even smoking, holding their GFs' hands or wearing the uniform sloppily.
what this NSF did, he just threw the masculine identity of the Armed Forces to the dogs.. basically showing the Soldiers of Singapore as men who can't even carry their own bags. the tough identity is gone. Soldiers are there for the citizens to rely on in times of strife, but what the picture portrays is a soldier who can't even carry his own bag, or shoulder its weight.
will people trust in an Armed Force that's portrayed as weak and can't do a simple thing like carry their bag home from the bus stop?
:think: Hmm. could try this :sweatsm:

though we take things with a pinch of salt... sometimes those who've experienced it will of course be miffed.

True. I am aware of this Act. However, my question is... what does it means by the term "any act, conduct or negliect to the prejudice of good order or disciple"? Is formal education to the NSman ever been make to the NSman by Mindef when the recruits are being introduced to the military in regards to the terms found in this act?
If not, how would an NSF or even a regulars actually know what is good discipline and what is good conduct or orders. I means, the basic like, not stealing, robbing, using vulgar languages, spitting, etc is common sense (oh... and stealing, robbing and stuff like that are covered by other acts). But letting a third party carry the backpack is although (common sense to us, as not a good way to show yourself in the public) but to some, it is a way of life... because since young they have been doing it and no one had penalise them.
I mean, I sure would not want the mindef or whoever to invoke such a section (sec 25), it would been selling off my rights. Because today (for example) walking at 20km/h is acceptable... who knows if tomorrow when in uniform I am suddenly being caught and charged under this section because I am walking too unsoldiery like?
Anyway as an afterthought, I do despise people like the NSman in question in the photo. But what I means is... there really is nothing Mindef could do. And if they actually invoked Sec 25 on this... I am sure alot of people might be feeling a bit uneasy, because you never know what will happen to yourself and your younger generation should they serve the military and find themselves in queer situation whereby this section is invoked freely.
Unless there are written rules or explanation (in black and white) on what the terms as any act, conduct or neglect to the prejudice of good order or discipline actually emcompass.

Read the saf act. "Behavior unbecoming of a serviceman" is a chargeable offense. God knows how many went into db with this charge back in my day.

I agree.
It is like education, where teachers now treat students like prince n princesses, saf no longer can treat nsfs like their pioneer 1g or 2g did.
Very much because in part the parents now knows far more revenues to complain n demand.

Hard to say whether white horse or not. I mean it was a seemingly quite an "innocuous" part of his day that rippled into amazing proportions.
