Bullshit. It's because Mindef and SAF do not trust Malay-Muslims in more sensitive units. The Military Security Department would never give Malays the highest security clearance levels that are required in classified units. So much for 'regardless of race, language or religion'.
The logistical excuse is a sham. NS men who are vegetarians could have the appropriate food rations. No problems whatsoever.
Stop telling lies already, Ng Eng Hen. For once in your scummy life, be honest. Just admit that the PAP govt is racist, hypocritical, dishonest and paranoid.

Under the Brits the Malays were naturals for the uniformed professions, police and armed forces. They had a tradition. After separation , they were not trusted and you almost never found Malays in uniform. LKY was more forthright about the reasons, namely, we shouldn't put a Malay in a position of defending the country against someone with whom he shared emotional religious ties. The policy changed gradually but Malays were still kept out of sensitive units. It is a tribute to our Malay community they were so understanding. Strangely enough Malaysians never had this problem when they defended the country against Indonesians during Konfrantasi.
By the way, halal food is nothing but the exclusion of pork and the requirement that cattle and poultry be ritually slaughtered. I doubt this was such a logistical problem for the SAF.
If PAP is clever, they should appoint only Malays in the defence forces. They will not migrate or abandon their post in an enemy attack. Its their ancestral homeland.

SAF is right to be worried about green-against-blue attacks, which we had witnessed in Afghanistan on several occasions. Political correctness cannot be used as an excuse to leave your brains at the door. Singapore is worried about the possibility of a joint-invasion by both Malaysia and Indonesia. When that happens, followed by calls of jihad by Indon and m&d clerics, would some of our own local Muslims end up turning their guns on our own SAF guys?
Singapore treats Muslims far better than non-Muslims are treated in Malaysia and Indonesia. In our SAF, there are Muslim senior officers and Muslim politicians in the Cabinet. We even had a Muslim president.
LKY is right to worry about the loyalty of soldiers being affected by religion. It is not about racism, but about common sense. If you don't wish to be viewed with suspicion about your loyalty, then show that your loyalty is to your country and not to religion. For most religions today, religion and politics are kept separate. It is not so for Islam, where religion and politics are viewed as one. It's a hard truth by the wise old man.
Stupid mat! :oIo: PA carry weapons? If you not happy then go join the Taliban navy. Don't spread your illogical brain and ungodly or godly fairytales here. :oIo:do you ban Malays from joining the PA
