A Singaporean soldier who was pictured with a maid carrying his backpack has identified himself to his commander and undergone counselling, officials say.
The soldier was "remorseful", defence official Col Desmond Tan said in a letter published in the Straits Times.
The recruit was undergoing physical training prior to basic training.
The image, which was first published on social media sites, has led to debate in Singapore on whether conscripts and their training are tough enough.
'It was wrong' The photograph showed the soldier in fatigues on a path with his maid following behind carrying his military field-pack on her back.
"The serviceman concerned has identified himself to his commander," said Col Tan.
"The recruit is remorseful for his actions and realises that it was wrong for him to have allowed this," he said.
"He has been counselled and continues his training. The SAF (Singapore Armed Forces) has reminded all servicemen to be mindful of their conduct in public."
Singapore maintains a conscript-based military. Every able-bodied male citizen and permanent resident aged 18 and over must have two years of military training.
The soldier in question was undergoing physical training before starting a nine-week Basic Military Training course.

Most Britons think that Singapore is part of China anyway

No shame. It's free publicity.

The rule is simple. When dressed in uniform in public, don't appear to be guniang. At home, you can ask your maid to wash your uniform, kiwi your boots, or whatever.

Buying 4D, Toto or cigarettes in uniform is ok because these are legal activities and does not impact on the reputation of SAF. The main role of SAF is to fight and appearing guniang has a definite impact on its reputation to do so.
