i wonder how many extras he kena.. or is it really the NSFs these days are kuniang and he'll actually be counselled?
in the past the guy will probably kena court-martialled...
I'm willing to believe that 'counselled' is exactly what it means. You know, political correctness....
I get pretty pissed when someone does something wrong and all he gets is 'counselling'. The last time DBS screwed me over because several staff screwed up, I went berserk when the manager told me that the offending staff would be 'counselled'.
Like I told the manager, 'counselling' is what you get when your pet dog dies or when your girlfriend runs off with your best friend. In the end, he agreed with me and promised that he would issue them with reprimand letters that would count against their bonuses and promotions.
For something of this incident's magnitude, a few extras given by a berserk platoon sergeant should be the order of the day.

in the past we used to walk to school on our own and do things by ourselves.
majority of the younger generation are pampered. those parents have gone through what we did. i dont understand why they want to pamper their kids that way knowing its bad for them.

Remorseful soldier counselled: Mindef
THE Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) has completed its investigation into the recent case of a serviceman who was photographed with his domestic helper carrying his field pack ('Deafening silence in army backpack saga' by Mr Patrick Tan; last Saturday).
The serviceman concerned has identified himself to his commander.
He was a recruit undergoing the Physical Training Preparatory phase prior to the Basic Military Training phase.
The recruit is remorseful for his actions and realises that it was wrong for him to have allowed this.
He has been counselled and continues his training. The SAF has reminded all servicemen to be mindful of their conduct in public.

Owned up?
Or sold out?

Like in the private sector, no big deal if you think of it as outsourcing the tradditonal batman role to a cheaper though not necessasry better FT. Some people whine about this prob b'cos they didn't think of this first or they they scat this plum position(of a batman) will soon be takeover completely by FT like many jobs in the civilian world.

he did PLENTY wrong...
there may be nothing in the law that says he did wrong, but he disgraced the whole of the SAF and by default, the whole of Singapore...
if that is "nothing wrong" to you, you really really need to do some soul searching...

If the law says he's not wrong then he's not wrong.

Maid for Our Army: Manhunt now on for individuals in the SAF Maid story
Source:
http://kementah.blogspot.com/2011/04...ow-on-for.html
Where did they go?: This is the footpath off Bedok Rise used by the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) soldier, believed to be a full-time National Serviceman (NSF), and a woman carrying a fullpack, believed to be his domestic helper, who appeared in that iconic image (please scroll down). To the right of this footpath is the public housing estate which is home to an NSF who made headlines in 2007, Dave Teo.
Plain clothes officers believed to be from the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) combed a housing estate in Bedok on Saturday (2 April'11) for the individuals in the infamous picture of a maid carrying a fullpack - but failed to find their targets.
The officers gathered along Bedok Rise, which is near the Tanah Merah MRT station, for a quick debrief yesterday evening and were observed by this blogger. The group stood out in the quiet estate because I have seen police surveillance teams in action and somehow sensed the group did not fit in with the streetscape.
One officer was overheard updating an unnamed party via mobilephone that there were x targets for the day and the maid at one premises was not in.
What gave the game away was an A4 size colour photocopy of two pictures in a local newspaper story that compared the real picture with a fake image of the anonymous soldier, believed to be a full-time National Serviceman (NSF), and a woman whom netizens believe is his domestic helper. Pictures in the 90C story were enlarged and printed in portrait format, possibly to serve as a handy reference for the officers. (By uncanny coincidence, I used the same picture as reference but saved an image of the newspaper article on my mobilephone. I felt it was more discrete as observers would think I was checking my SMS messages whenever I looked at the image on the phone.)
It was surreal being at the spot where the infamous images were taken and the sense of frustration stemmed from not knowing where the soldier was. A sense of being almost within reach, yet not quite there. That said, I thank friends of this blog for all the tipoffs. :-)
The pictures caused intense debate in Singapore this past week as they showed how one soldier can sully the SAF's image by displaying behaviour which Singaporeans viewed as unsoldierly.
As of late Saturday evening, Senang Diri believes the Singaporean Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) and SAF investigators had yet to verify the identities of the two individuals in the picture. The numberplates of the private cars used by the suspected stakeout teams were noted by this blogger.
It is interesting to note that the location of the stakeout is literally round the corner from the home of another infamous NSF, Dave Teo, who ran away from camp with his SAR-21 assault rifle and some bullets in 2007. The Bedok South point block flat which he shared with his grandmother and cousins can be seen from the footpath along which MINDEF/SAF's latest bugbear was photographed. Dave Teo was tracked down and arrested by police officers from the crack Special Tactics and Rescue (STAR) unit.
Manhunts in densely-populated Singapore are difficult to execute.
In March 2004, hundreds of SAF soldiers and Singapore Police Force officers were deployed to Pulau Tekong (Singapore's largest offshore island) to hunt down three suspected robbers who landed on the island from Malaysia's Johor state. The fugitives were eventually found by Gurkha police officers.
In February 2008, terror suspect Mas Selamat Kastari walked out of a high security detention centre. He was apprehended by Malaysian police in Johor in April the following year. -

You got a point there.
The risks of owning up is tantamount to being marked for life in army and next time in civilian life.
The recruit can always claim it is not him since the face cannot be seen.

Unless the army tells the whole unit to stand by their maids to compare who looks the most like the woman in the pic.

Both maid and the recruit.

we should outsource our first wave of soldiers to foreigners. they no need eapons just need body armor and lots of fats. can tahen many hits before the enemy exhaust their ammo and attention then our main strike force move in.
