Posted: 25 May 2010 2323 hrs
SINGAPORE: Not just one, but two Singapore Armed Forces personnel were injured in Thailand two months ago by a villager who was out hunting.

MediaCorp understands that a full-time National Serviceman was one of two who were accidentally hit by gun pellets - believed to be the first time SAF soldiers have been shot by a civilian - during a proficiency test conducted by the Army Training Evaluation Centre.

The other victim reported on Tuesday in the media was 25-year-old First Sergeant Woo Teng Hai, a regular from the 1st Commando Battalion, and was said to be still on medical leave.

MediaCorp understands that the second victim has completed his medical leave and should be returning to his duties soon.

The incident occurred in a designated training area within Kanchanaburi province, some 130 kilometres west from Bangkok, during a routine training exercise on the night of March 13.

Since then, the SAF has received full assistance from the Royal Thai Army for the investigations into the incident.

Preliminary findings have found that the shooting was an accident.

The two militaries are continuing to work closely to inform villagers about the training areas which can also be used by Thai armed forces.

So why hide the fact that an NSman also kena injured? Cos NSmen's lives are CHEEP CHEEP? Or Cos afraid a revolt from Sporns for having to risk their already wretched lives serving Ant Ass while free scholarships and jobs are reserved for foreigners?

:oIo::oIo::oIo:​

lucky i ORD long ago liao.
our NS guys always yaya papaya even go field deployment also walking about in underwear only.
toy soldiers how to fight?

It is already an embarassment foor the army that a commondo had been shot be a farmer (who is assume not a trained soldier) like an animal. To announce that actually has more than 1 being shot seriously bring into doubt SAF ability to engage enemies. Basic 101 training is NEVER walk in close proximity while doing tactical movements. Obviously these 2 (assuming only 2) were walking hand-in-hand like in a park la then kena shot with single shot from a blaster gun.

Imagine if the shooter is a trained sniper.............the entire commando team will be easily wiped off. What more can you expect from the Ah Beng foot soldiers ?

So, let's not risk our already severely limited citizens. LEt them perform only in NDP or staged 'ambush' like in the Navy Day last weekend where they will always win....and less risks.

If Mindef can cover up this incident, they would have hide it from the media. Not something they r proud of. Some officers' head will get chop.

 

[lianbeng]

time to come out n talk liao or else nobody wana serve NS anymore.
to die in war is hero, to die in exercise is foolhardy!

Isn't that part of being in SAF? Screw up then get chop loh.

Sometimes hidding makes things worse, everyone knows that thing screws up at times.

now kids are very rare to parents. hence, they are fattened up. when they go jungle training in thai forest, they might be mistaken as suan ter or wild boar especially in the darkness of their training.

thais love to eat wild boar. along come a blurcock fattie ns boy rustling among he bushes. thai hunter tot it was a wild boar and an especially fatter one. so drooling anticipating, fired their shotgun. and next singapore sua ter...er, ns fattie boy ends up in hospital as injured porky.:p

 

[leetahbar]

maybe NS should send those obese generals or highly paid officers who they find it difficult to rid in the army for jungle training in thailand. lst, they must check whether the locals there are poor in eyesight and have a deep penchant for sua ter bak or wild boar meat.

:p

winston choo would definitely fit the bill!

 

[lianbeng]
