NSmen get privilege to be served with unhygienic food, you die yr biz

27 down with food poisoning at army camp
Published on Jan 24, 2015 5:45 AM

Twenty-seven soldiers at Clementi Camp fell ill on Thursday, with some showing signs of food poisoning such as vomiting and diarrhoea.

The soldiers, mostly full-time national servicemen (NSFs), were hit by a highly contagious intestinal virus and they reported sick at the camp's medical centre on Thursday morning.

All of them had been in the camp from Wednesday.

Confirming the outbreak, the Defence Ministry said the servicemen were treated for symptoms of gastrointestinal disease and are now stable.

A Mindef spokesman said all of them had been discharged from the medical centre and they have since been given light duties. The cause of their illness is being investigated.

The spokesman added that the unit has taken precautionary measures to prevent the spread of the disease by "ceasing cookhouse operations, disinfecting dining and communal areas, and enforcing good personal hygiene practices".

After the outbreak, everyone in the camp was instructed not to drink the water or eat the food from the camp's cookhouse and canteen. Signs were put up in the toilets, reminding servicemen not to drink tap water. The Straits Times understands that in the interim, food and water from another camp are being delivered to the soldiers.

The last known gastrointestinal outbreak in an SAF camp took place in September 2013, when some 300 recruits at the Basic Military Training Centre fell prey to a contagious intestinal virus. Investigations found that the cookhouse premises and food handlers were not the source of infection. The food and water there also tested negative for contamination.

it's part of the training to strengthen ns men's immunity to bad food prepared in unhygienic conditions. sinkies should be proud.

Mindef certainly goes all out to ensure that these events are few and far between. I'm impressed with the speed at which they deal with such issues.

i am surprised that after spore food technologies cater food to the soldiers, such shit till happen. they should revert to the old style run by the ah beng cooks, at least there is no such incidents.

These sorts of incidents used to occur on a regular basis when the Ah Beng cooks ruled the roost. I should know because I was part of the BOI on more than one occasion.

Incident happened in 2015.............What has it got to do with incident in 2013? Who were the investigators in 2013 incident?

Trying to softly mind fuck readers that the current incident most probably its not the food contractors fault....

I can tell you that a lot more NSmen got diarrhea and mass stomach sickness then what is mentioned in the shit times. Practically all SAF personnel going for training in India suffered the shits bouts over there.

I am really impressed with SAF....during "slavery" days, the food served by SAF before they had SFI, were cooked by "slavery cooks"...I am still surprised & impressed till this day...none of us had food poisoning or died..kudos! to SAF!.

For example:

the bread bounces when you dropped it on the floor
the margarine come stack high, like the scene from "close encounter of the 3rd kind"..when the character in the movie was looking for that stone structure...
the fried bee happen was burnt & it comes with a crunchy sound when you eat..for it has sand sediments ( good for digestion)
kway teow soup , had kway teow doing 50 laps on top & looked like they never had a wash or bath & is taking one now...
vegetables was half cooked & you can find worms in them ( you get protein)
the coffee or tea....taste like was filters through a pair of socks ( it did & it tasted authentic), the amount of sugar or condensed milk they put it was fantastic
night snacks for night training....you have alternate servings on different days, it was either , red bean or green beans soup, comes with sand..( for digestion)...

The food given if you fed them to your dog or cats, they would reject & if eaten....gone into convulsions....till this day, I am really surprised that, none of us in that number of us, ever admitted to hospital for food poisoning or anyone died eating from SAF cook house...either we were healthier back then...or

SAF is the best...kudos to them!...
