  • SCDF And SPF Used Real Foreign Workers In Riot Simulation Exercise

    SCDF And SPF Used Real Foreign Workers In Riot Simulation Exercise

    Just when you thought the human rights transgression in Singapore cannot get worse, it surprises you with what else it can do.

    Apparently, the government wanted to test the Singapore Police Force and the Singapore Civil Defence Force on how they would respond if a riot occurs at the foreign worker dormitories.

    “What if some quarrels erupt, leading to fights or worse?,” National Development Minister Khaw Boon Wan asked on his Facebook.

    “To test our response capability, the Police, the SCDF, the dorms operators and our grassroots organisations organised a simulation exercise recently.

    “It was a useful way to network up the various agencies, and spread preventive messages.

    “Prevention is always better than cure,” Mr Khaw said.

    Sounds like a disease?

    No, actually Mr Khaw is talking about actual human beings here – yes, the foreign workers who build the flats that his ministry manages.

    And to conduct the test, actual foreign workers were asked to “riot” so that the police and civil defence could then quell the riot.

    It is uncertain why Indian workers were used or why it seems that a drill needs to be conducted specifically with foreign workers.

    Mr Khaw also said that, “given the concentration of foreign workers in one locality”, “These are possible scenarios (that they can riot).”

    As if it is not bad enough that the foreign workers in these dormitories earn the lowest wages in Singapore – as low as $300 to $500 every month, they are made to take part in exercises that discriminates against them.

    On 8 December last year, a riot took place in Little India, after a private bus knocked down and killed a foreign worker from India. The government blamed the riot on the rioters having drunk alcohol.

    Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong had said, “We should not generalise a group because of some individuals. I don’t think that is fair or justifiable because their (foreign workers) crime rates are, in fact, lower than Singaporeans in general.”

    Sure, and this is why we need to conduct an exercise on riot management at a foreign worker dormitory.

  • Orang Malaysia bengang tentera SG berlatih di Brunei

    Negara Singapura tiada hutan belantara, jika tiada hutan belantara maka tidak perlu sangat lah melatih tentera nya didalam hutan. Tambahan apa yang patut dibuat ada lah melatih tentera nya mempertahan kota Singa itu pada urban warfare sahaja kerana mempertahan kan kota Singapura dari serangan musuh.

    Tetapi semua nya itu jika mereka mahu terhad kan kepada mempertahan kan diri.

    Bagaimana pula jika ada niat  lebih dari itu? Jika mereka mahu masuk kedalam hutan dan berperang gerila dalam hutan, hutan mana pula sasaran mereka?

    Kebetulan negara berhutan terletak tidak jauh dari pulau Singapura, hanya beberapa kilometer sahaja dari pulau Singa itu.Tapi apa pun kita berperasangka baik.

    Singapura menghantar tentera nya berlatih mengenali hutan dan berperang didalam nya dengan menguna kan kemudahan hutan negara Brunei Darussalam.

    Selain mengikat mata wang (pegged) bersama Negara Brunei , Singapura juga dibenarkan berlatih perang dalam hutan dinegara Brunei Darussalam.

    Bukan sahaja tentera Singapura dilatih cara survival didalam hutan malah juga taktikal dan tatacara perang secara total.

    ‘Singapore and Brunei share a strong and long-standing defence relationship. In addition to regular training which SAF troops conduct in Brunei, both defence establishments conduct a wide range of bilateral exercises and professional exchanges which have enhanced the professionalism and strengthened the ties between the two armed forces.’

    Mungkin menyedari bukan sahaja pertahanan yang kuat mesti ada pada kota kecil ini, maka mereka go one step further dengan memperolehi kemahiran berperang dalam hutan. Dan kebetulan keakraban dengan negara Brunei sudah terjalin maka peluang menggunakan hutan nya sebagai kawasan latihan tentera perlu diambil.

    Kerana kurang kemahiran dalam hutan maka latihan diada kan secara serious, malah sehingga beberapa kali tentera nya hilang dan sesat didalam hutan Brunei itu.

    Latihan boleh di kata kan serious dan penuh kesungguhan sehingga melibat kan nyawa tentera nya.

    “Lance Corporal (LCpl) Muhammad Fahrurrazi Salim was the coxswain in a convoy of four boats used to support the water crossing segment of the jungle training exercise at Sungai Batu Apoi. In a statement released on their website, Singapore’s Defence Ministry said the 20-year-old was last seen wearing a life jacket on his boat at 7.55am Sunday morning. However at 8am, his boat was noticed not to have followed the convoy”

    Bagi negara kita Malaysia , kita hanya mahu berfikir jika hanya mahu mempertahan kan negara sendiri, Singapura sudah pun kuat dan mantap kerana kapal perang Amerika yang berada di sekitar Laut China Selatan juga ada dan akan segera berada di sisi Singapura apabbila sahaja mereka di perlukan.

    Tetapi berperang dalam hutan?

    Itu harus kita waspada kerana Singapura tidak ada hutan yang besar, budak pengakap pun boleh survive dalam hutan mereka, tapi dengan kesungguhan mereka menghantar tentera nya di Brunei untuk berlatih perang, maka Malaysia harus berjaga jaga dengan tindakan “behind enemy line” dari pihak jiran kita.

    Banyak fakta nyata dan mudah di perolehi berkenaan tindak tanduk ketenteraan Singapura yang ada di alam maya.

    Singapore also maintains a training establishment in Brunei, known as the Jalan Aman Camp and operates support helicopters mainly to transport the soldiers to Lakiun Camp in Temburong for Jungle Training. The other Singapore military establishment in Brunei is the Lakiun Camp in Temburong. This provides jungle training for the Singapore Armed Forces in the interior of Temburong.

    Kerja kita tidak lebih selain memerhatikan sahaja.
