  • Some Netizens Not Happy NS Recruits Can Now Cool Down With Ice Water During Fieldcamp

    Some Netizens Not Happy NS Recruits Can Now Cool Down With Ice Water During Fieldcamp

    Those of you who have gone through national service will know how “siong” (tough) a field camp is. It is one of those experiences which leave a lasting impact on you, along with lots of memories for later years to reminisce about.

    Field camps are tough because they last several days, such as what Leopard Company at the Basic Military Training Centre (BMTC) went through earlier this month. In such trainings, it is important to follow the TSR, or “Training Safety Regulations”.

    In Singapore, especially, the weather can be a challenge, even for civilians who are under comfortable shelter, let alone soldiers in the field under the blazing sun and unforgiving heat.

    It is perhaps because of this that the recruits of Leopard Company were allowed to cool down with buckets of ice water as “an additional measure” to make sure they do not get heat stroke.

    BMTC posted a photo of this on its Facebook page on Monday.

    The photo drew some laughs and ridicule.

    “Wow the buckets are so nice now and the ice water so much cleaner,” said James Lce.

    “War time where to find lce water?” asked Bronson Teo.

    “What the f*** why we got no ice water to cool down one?????” asked Gustav Yap Puay Tong.

    “Wa so good now ah? Got ice cold water during field camp,” said Lim Wee Liang.

    Some were envious, saying the recruits have a “good life”, while others ridiculed them as “snowflakes”.

    But let’s give the boys a break. NS is tough business, and our kind of weather doesn’t help. Whatever keeps them safe, let’s support.

    Stay safe, guys!

  • Please Help Us! Baby Born Premature Warded At ICU, Treatment Expected To Cost Estimated $200,000

    Please Help Us! Baby Born Premature Warded At ICU, Treatment Expected To Cost Estimated $200,000

    As a person who adores children, my heart skipped several beats the day my wife’s water broke prematurely at 27 weeks. We felt doomed and our world collapsing around us, as we have been trying for a long time and this was our third pregnancy after two miscarriages.

    My wife’s job can sometimes be stressful; it probably took its toll not only on her, but also the precious being growing inside. But thankfully, my wife’s superiors and colleagues went out of their ways to ensure that she completely focuses on the pregnancy when this happened.

    I pray that it isn’t too late and that for every hour our son is inside the womb, we thank a million times to the good Lord for keeping him inside. He was born on 8th May at 28 weeks.

    When I’m around children, I lose sense of time and the world around me. I enjoy their chatter and giggles, their twinkling eyes and an ever curious flow of questions. How much more would I wish to hear the same from my own?

    We’re advised by the efficient, empathetic and wonderful nurses and medical officers at KKH to not think about the financial burden to follow this tough pregnancy. But being expats, we are afraid and aghast every time we see the amount billed to incubate our newborn  child at the NICU (Estimated at over $200,000). We will never be able to produce that much money in such a short period, but then we cannot put a price on our precious baby.

    A humbled request to help us bring our baby home. We will be ever grateful and vow to bring up our child with manifold eagerness to give, just as the gifts he receives.

    Besides GIVE, we have received SGD 8,845.00 from other sources.

  • Student Blackmailed By Personal Trainer After Sex In Gym

    Student Blackmailed By Personal Trainer After Sex In Gym

    A personal trainer hatched a plan to lure a young man to have sex with him at a gym he worked at.

    When they were undressed, one of the trainer’s two accomplices came forward to film them in the nude.

    His second accomplice then demanded money from their victim and threatened to inform the police about the supposed criminal trespass if the request was not met.

    Personal trainer Shaun Leow Qi Hui and full-time national serviceman Leong Boyuan were each jailed for two months on Wednesday (May 24) after pleading guilty to one count of criminal intimidation.

    The case involving their alleged accomplice, delivery driver Tay Kai Hui, 22, is still pending.

    The court heard Leow, 23 and a 21-year-old student, who cannot be named due to a gag order, met on gay dating app Grindr and started chatting on Mar 21 last year.

    They later went to Leow’s workplace – Segi Fitness, a gym at Middle Road – and proceeded to have sex at around 12.30am.

    But about three minutes later, the victim spotted Leong, 22, nearby. Leong was holding his mobile phone with the camera pointing at them.

    Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) Kenneth Kee said the victim was shocked and immediately wore his clothes while Leow pretended to be shocked and got dressed too.

    “Leong feigned anger and began shouting. He said ‘What are you doing in my gym?’. The victim apologised repeatedly,” said the DPP.

    Leow and the student then met Tay who pretended to be the gym owner.

    DPP Kee added that Tay scolded Leow and the victim for tarnishing the reputation of the gym and made repeated threats to call the police before demanding $5,000 from Leow as “compensation”.

    Leow pretended to transfer the money via mobile banking while Tay ordered the victim to pay the same amount.

    When Leong and Tay realised that the student could not afford to fork out $5,000, they agreed to accept $1,000 from him.

    Their victim soon left the gym and the three friends went to a nearby coffee shop to divide the money among them.

    The trio were caught after their victim alerted the police on Mar 28 last year.

    For criminal intimidation, Leow and Leong could have each been jailed up to two years and fined.
