Cause of many NSF deaths: SAF ignored soldiers' medical reports

[Leepotism]

Be more accountable to national servicemen with medical conditions

​

AS A national serviceman with a health worry, I am saddened and concerned by the latest fatal collapse of a full-time national serviceman ('NSF dies after collapsing during training exercise'; Wednesday).
I suffer from a condition called beta thalassemia inherited from my parents. My haemoglobin count is lower than an average person's, and overt physical activity will cause me shortness of breath. I have fainted many times because of my condition.
What concerns me is that when I viewed my medical docket, none of the numerous times I had lost consciousness and been evacuated to the medical centre had been recorded. No incident reports had been filed.
I recall that the medics who attended to me on these occasions noted that I suffered from heat stroke, physical exhaustion or dehydration, when what I really needed was oxygen.
I recently underwent a comprehensive health screening and submitted the report of my blood tests that attested to my condition, but I have had no response from the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF).
I wish the SAF could be more transparent to national servicemen like me who suffer from a medical condition.

Sinkee peasants' lives are worth nothing. These fucking MOs will treat all cases as 'Geng' or malingering.

True, these bastard MOs from SAF never care about NSF health conditions.

I also advise everyone to keng. There is never pride in being a good saf slave. Why so piah for fuck? To protect million dollar ministars who will screw you when you rod and find your job taken by ft?

Fuck saf!

SAF NS Slaves Core Values:

1) Keep a low profile
2) Do the bare minimum
3) Never volunteer
4) Think smart, act blur
5) Leave your brains at the guard room, retrieve it when you book out
6) Regulars are idiots who can't make it in the real world
7) Serve and fuck off

Garang is for dumb fucks.
Keng is for the smart people.

Just look at the elites' sons. Most of them are PES E clerks.

Bo keng buay chu peng. Why bother if they don't even bother about your health and your future livelihood?

 

[laksaboy]

SAF's presumption of guilt:

You are automatically a chow keng until proven otherwise.

That's why sometimes, if you're an NS slave and you're genuinely sick, you hate to go see the MO, because you detest being treated like a criminal.

Sad. Condolence to the parents.

The title of this thread is a misnomer.
There was never ever any findings to how that the recent death of NSF during training were due to deliberate ignorance of medical conditions.

BTW, who wrote the letter above? Anonymous again?

Do They Have The Will To Fight Back ?

That man loves Malaysia so much, maybe he should just stay there forever. We don't need him anyway.

A true Singaporean can't be saying such a thing. You must be an import!

The Mats up North can aim their big guns at the direction of Oxley Rd for all I care.. I'll will go AWOL if war comes to Sinkie land..
