When the real issue was was why it tried to keep Sporns in the dark of another NSF being injured in the shooting incident! Delaying the report by 3 months is bad enuff. Not to mention LYING about it! *PTUI*

Shooting incident: Mindef admits it should have issued statement

WE REFER to Mr Matthias Chew's letter yesterday ('Shooting incident: Mindef should have told public').
The Singapore Armed Forces' (SAF) immediate priority following any incident is to attend to the needs of the affected servicemen and to keep their families informed.
In the case of the training incident in Thailand, the servicemen were given immediate medical attention and arrangements were made for their safe return to Singapore on the same day for further medical treatment.
The families of the servicemen were immediately notified and provided regular updates. Whatever information that is available is thus provided to the servicemen and their families as soon as possible.
The Ministry of Defence (Mindef) informs the public whenever there is a serious incident, or where the incident is likely to be of public interest.
Given the nature of this incident, Mindef should have issued a media statement when it occurred.

Director, Public Affairs,
