​

This Civil Defence car was spotted parked at a HDB carpark, with a season parking ticket.

On numerous occasions, STOMPer Marcus has seen the driver and his family using it.

He tells STOMP:

“This Civil Defence car was spotted with a HDB season parking ticket in Sengkang MSCP.

“A driver is often seen with his family, using it as a civilian car.

“I wonder if there’s a secret Civil Defence station in my neighbourhood or possibly a man on a mission who’s required to use this car?”

STOMP contacted the SCDF.

Captain Loh Jia-Tien, Staff Officer, Media Relations of the SCDF told STOMP:

"The officer driving the vehicle is authorised to drive it home. This is to enable the SCDF officer to respond to fire and rescue incidents from home after office hours within the shortest time.

"We have investigated and found that the officer had not used this vehicle for non-official purposes."

So many patrol cars, ambulance and even red rhinos.

 

[Perspective]

I believe the matter is hushed down while the SCDF takes action against the officer.

So Deep Throats, do continue to expose these things.

If the accusation is found untrue, SCDF should sue STOMPer Marcus. Afterall, this is a very serious accusation whereby public fund has been allegedly misused for personal benefit.

My neighbor's son who's a Recruit working at CMPB got to drive a MID plated vehicle home for the weekend and around on personal errands.

Although there were numerous complains against the DXO who instructed him to drive the vehicle home and on personal errands, the cover ups were directly proportionately to the complains.

Subsequently, they mounted a smear campaign against this Recruit who may possibly ORD a Private.

Sad case...
