SINGAPORE - There have been no training- and operations-related fatalities in the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) in the last four years, said Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen on Thursday (Aug 3).

"Safe training raises morale and encourages soldiers to train even harder," said Dr Ng at an appreciation dinner at Marina Mandarin Hotel for volunteers who have contributed to national defence.

Dr Ng was highlighting the impact of an external review panel set up in 2013 to review safety in the SAF as part of the contributions of these volunteers.


Members of the panel who trudged through training grounds as part of the review include Singapore Press Holdings chief executive Alan Chan and Workplace Safety and Health Council chairman Heng Chiang Gnee.


"The contributions of this panel have had the impact of saving lives," Dr Ng said on Thursday.

He also gave an update on the number of people joining the SAF Volunteer Corps - the figure has doubled since the first intake in 2015.


Dr Ng said: "We started the SAF Volunteer Corps as... an experiment. Up till today, we have over 500 permanent residents and citizens who are part of this volunteer corps, who undergo basic training and spend their time playing a part in national defence."

Dr Ng added that "if we continue this, then we would have discharged our duty in our generation and passed on good values and good foundations to the next".

In all, 321 citizen volunteers who serve on 36 Ministry of Defence (Mindef) boards and committees were recognised for their efforts at Thursday's appreciation dinner. Dr Ng also presented certificates of appointment and re-appointment to 81 volunteers at the event.

The volunteers who were at the dinner include Judge of Appeal Chao Hick Tin, Aljunied GRC MP Sylvia Lim from the Workers' Party, and Claire Chiang, the co-founder of Banyan Tree and Resorts.

Dr Ng said it was the SAF's positive experience with its volunteers that gave it the confidence to start the more formal and structured SAF Volunteer Corps.

Dr Kenneth Mak, who is the deputy director of medical services (Health Services Group) at the Health Ministry, has been a volunteer since 2011.

In that time, he has served on the the Emergency Medicine Specialist Advisory Board, and this year, received a certificate of appointment to serve on the SAF Medical Advisory Board.

He said: "If the role that I'm asked to take up involves something positive, that can benefit others, that I can give to the organisation, then that actually drives me and gives me that sense of fulfilment."

"Safe training raises morale and encourages soldiers to train even harder,"

until someone gets seriously injured or dies then make training less tough and the cycle goes on and on again.

Does it make any difference even if somebody else's son died?
Did any heads roll previously because of that?

Absolutely no.

But this is how sinkies do things. Sinkies continue to vote for the PAP. Vote for NEH. Vote for LHL. So it is 69.9% Singaporean.

Zero death also must celebrate? i tot that the min requirement.

i more interested in the volunteers numbers, 500 in 2 years, somemore figures are citizens plus PRs. i prefer to know how many new citizens and PRs are inside the 500. if local born female number 100 in the 2 years, then new citizens and PRs only 400. there at least 150k-200k new citizens plus i dunno, at least 500k PRs in singapore. 400 mean take up rate not even 0.1% of them are volunteers. these volunteer BS are wayang only.

U fuckers here are so gullible. Bargain Hen has been taking lessons from his fork tongue colleague Shan. No operational deaths does not mean no deaths in the SAF.

A Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) regular serviceman lost consciousness while having his own physical training in Nee Soon Camp on 20 Feb 2017, at 8.05am. Resuscitative efforts were administered immediately, and the serviceman was evacuated to Nee Soon Camp Medical Centre, and subsequently to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital (KTPH) via an SAF ambulance. An SAF Medical Officer and medics continued to resuscitate him en route. The SAF ambulance arrived at KTPH at 8.37am. The serviceman was pronounced dead at 9.02am.
The Ministry of Defence and the SAF extend their deepest condolences to the family of the late serviceman. The SAF is assisting the family in their time of grief.

If the training is 100% SAFE then it's an absolute waste of time. Singapore might as well send its soldiers to a Girl Guide Jamboree. Details in this link.

Realistic training which prepares soldiers for real battles is never safe. It's fraught with danger and casualties and deaths are inevitable.

Try serving with the US military or local police unit.

Lots of death, disability and serious injuries each year with nothing to show for it. The war on terror is not going end anytime soon, and the narco gangs are still going strong.

You should thank PAP for their fine leadership in ensuring that nearly all of our soldiers and police serve finish their tour of duty without serious injuries or death.

It would also be interesting to know how many sleepers are in the volunteers units from every stakeholders. Intelligence gathering over the years for their masters. Everywhere you go nowadays you see so call naturalised tiongs, pundehs and russians. Whole island is becoming a gateway for everything. Clear examples were the nihon-jins in Singapore before the war.
