  • When Will Ideals In Singapore Pledge Be Reality For Malay Singaporeans?

    When Will Ideals In Singapore Pledge Be Reality For Malay Singaporeans?

    This is not a religious issue. It is about equality before the law.

    The desire to be treated equally before the law is imbedded in every human soul. It is a universal yearning.

    Even our Constitution refers to the inalienable right of every citizen to equal treatment on all fronts regardless of race, language and religion.

    And therefore PAP leaders should strive to be more understanding of the passions underlying the tudung issue and other issues such as the discrimination in the military services.

    The Malays have been very patient and understanding towards the PAP in the last 50 years.

    Do not make us wait for another 50 years before making the National Pledge a reality to all Singaporeans – please.

  • Mastermind Of IPPT- Cheating Scam Jailed 18 Months

    Mastermind Of IPPT- Cheating Scam Jailed 18 Months

    The mastermind of an Individual Physical Proficiency Test (IPPT) cheating scheme was jailed for 18 months on Monday (March 20).

    Salesman Lim Chun Chyi, who committed the offences between 2011 and 2014, faces 93 charges involving a total of $24,700.

    During that time, he performed IPPT on behalf 72 operationally ready national servicemen (NSmen).

    On Monday, he pleaded guilty to 20 of the charges and the total amount of involved was $8,000.

    According to court documents, Lim and two accomplices – Nicholas Tan Kun Sung, 37 and Kho Puay Meng, 39 – entered various army camps to perform IPPT on behalf of their clients who were all NSmen.

    Of the trio, Lim was the only one who interacted with the clients.

    Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) Ng Jean Ting said Lim would either actively solicit or receive requests from his clients via phone calls or WhatsApp messages.

    He would then register for IPPT on his clients’ behalf.

    DPP Ng said: “In return, depending on whether the accused obtained a gold, silver or pass with incentive award, the accused would receive the corresponding incentive payout disbursed by the Ministry of Defence to the NSmen as payment.”

    For instance, if he obtained a gold award, he would receive $400.

    Occasionally, Lim would ask certain clients to pay an additional $50 fee on top of the incentive award for engaging his services.

    If the client agreed on his terms, he would ask for their personal details and use them to register online via the NS portal.

    He would use his clients’ account and choose a suitable time slot to take the IPPT at one of the many army fitness centres islandwide.

     

    Lim was caught on Dec 6, 2014 after a fitness trainer at Khatib Camp recognised him as he went there a few weeks before.

    DPP Ng said: “Upon performing the relevant searches of Lim’s IPPT records on the online system and of Lim’s belongings, it was discovered that Lim was taking the IPPT on behalf another NSman.”

    The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) Provost started its investigations soon after this and the matter was referred to the police in April 2015.

    Lim’s clients were dealt with internally by the SAF and on Sept 13, last year, Kho was jailed for two months after pleading guilty to one charge of conspiring to cheat.

    The case involving Tan is still pending.

    For each count of cheating, Lim could have been jailed up to 10 years and fined.

  • Irfan, Ikhsan Fandi Wanted By Chile Team

    Irfan, Ikhsan Fandi Wanted By Chile Team

    Fandi Ahmad’s two eldest sons Irfan and Ikhsan could turn out for one of Chile’s top-flight clubs in 2018, with a professional football career in South America on the cards for the duo after they complete National Service (NS).

    Former Singapore striker Fandi revealed on Friday (March 17) that Chilean side Club Deportivo Universidad Catolica have been in touch regarding the possibility of a return for Irfan, 19 and Ikhsan, 17.

    The pair had spent two years with title holders Catolica from 2014 to 2015, before they returned to Singapore last January to sign with S.League giants Home United. In April 2016, they enlisted for NS, with Irfan in the Singapore Police Force and Ikhsan in the army.

    Speaking on the sidelines of a Milo event at Plaza Singapura, Fandi said the family had been contacted by Catolica’s technical director of youth development.

    “They’ve still got about 11 months (left in NS),” said the 54-year-old. “I’m not sure (whether we will accept) … we will see what happens, because Irfan is doing not too badly with Home and also training with the national (senior) team. I hope he gets better and gets more exposure, and for Ikhsan as well. At the end of the day, we can only advise on what is best for them.”

    Irfan, who had previously turned down a four-year contract offer from Catolica in favour of returning to fulfil his NS obligations, has started five of Home’s six games this season. The striker-turned-defender has also been called up to the Lions squad for their upcoming Asian Cup qualifier against Bahrain.

    Ikhsan, a striker, has been registered with the Garena Young Lions for 2017, though he has yet to make an appearance.

  • Officer Rejected Request For Toilet Stop, NSF Forced To Defecate Into Ziploc Bag

    Officer Rejected Request For Toilet Stop, NSF Forced To Defecate Into Ziploc Bag

    Hi Singapore, here’s a story that got removed from TIFU, a tribute to all our NSFs with a personal story of mine.

    In honor of the usual tifu tradition I shall tell my tale of a fuck up months after it had occurred.

    I’m from Singapore, and as a rite of passage for a male citizen of this democratic society I have to go through the reluctant torture of serving my nation for 2 years as a low-waged soldier for the army. Anyways I shall spare you readers the usual Singaporean sob story of being forced into serving our nation for 2 years.

    At the beginning of our training phase it is customary to go through BMT(Basic Military Training); the period where all the usual social stigma of abusive sergeants, enciks(old men who have gone slightly deranged from opting to stay in the army) and sirs come to surface in daily conversations. During this period is where my fuck-up came to haunt me for the rest of my life.

    Day of the incident: 5 weeks into my BMT phase and blah blah blah here I am on the day where I would finally shoot live rounds on my SAR21 And we are required to be transported out of Pulau Tekong (a godforsaken island northbound of Singapore) to mainland Singapore to execute our training.

    Ferry Terminal: The entire company is currently lined up and ready to board the ferry towards the mainland. It is at this point where my sergeant told us to head to the washroom to take a dump or a piss as the ride would long. I thought nothing of it, little did I know 🙁

    5 minutes on the bus: I’m onboard the bus towards the firing site and my tummy starts grumbling.

    10 minutes on the bus: Satan started brewing a concoction of pure evil to summon his child within my bowels. I turned to my buddy on my left and started to beg him to distract me from the terrors within me.

    15 minutes on the bus: I started groveling to my sergeant to let me take a dump somewhere. He says, “HOLD IT IN, WE’LL BE THERE IN 10 MINUTES”

    20 minutes on the bus: I’ve been begging him for 5 minutes. Sergeant calls the supervising officer for his advice.

    22 minutes on the ride of my life: My request has officially been rejected.

    25 minutes on the highway to hell: I’ve started to contemplate my options: A. Release Satan’s child into my helmet B. Relieve myself casually like a fuckin’ 3yo C. Release the Kraken into a ziploc bag which kept the contents of another platoon mate’s soldierly tools

    30 minutes on the spiral to nirvana: I have voiced out my options to my sergeant and advised him that I’ll be taking option C.

    30 minutes and 30secs into this fuckup: I’m squatting on the stairs of the backdoor of the bus, carefully aiming my explosive rounds into a tiny ziploc bag with my ass out.

    32 minutes into this shameful bus ride: Bus driver decides that I’ve released too much toxins in the atmosphere of the bus and opens the backdoor.
    note: we are on the expressway now

    33 minutes: A van drove by, packed with passengers and their shocked faces from watching a bare-assed soldier in his uniform take a dump in a ziploc bag.

    35 minutes of pure shame: After 2 minutes of screaming at the bus driver for what’s left of my dignity, the door closes. I ordered for something to wipe my ass with. 5 packs of tissue were thrown to me like how my pride and dignity were thrown away.

    36 minutes of .__.: I’ve cleaned up and left my bag of shit at the back of the bus.

    End of the day: I’ve been immortalized as a legend of the company. Nothing spilled from the ziploc bag. I clinched a 31/32 for my firing. Natural marksman 😀

    TL;DR: Didn’t listen to my superiors advice, civilians witnessed a soldier having explosive diarrhea into a ziploc bag at the back of the bus on the expressway @70km/h.
