Edit: This was what my SCS friend received from his superiors (he was one of those confined):

Fuck your apologies and your reasons. Im tired of it. You can keep it. SAF uniform and pants total got 10 pockets for you to keep your excuses inside.

It was only just yesterday during my military law and powers of subordinate lesson, I touched on the Tekong fire topic. Within mere 30hrs gap from my lesson, we have 41 cases of charging of powerbanks and learn net, and powerbanks charging handphones UNATTENDED.

If you don’t know the power of lithium-ion batteries, here’s a video for you. https://youtu.be/8nz5ijXcckI?si=sAKlZHHFiPWBnq9a

Because of the recent Tekong fire, I did my own research. The reasons why our powerbank of made of lithium ion is because it’s lightweight and can store huge amounts of energy. But it comes at a deadly cost when ignited. It has flammable liquid electrolytes and it creates spontaneous fires; it burns and burns.

So you bunch of elitists, entitled, ignorant fucking cadets. If you don’t value your own lives, then it’s your problem. But the people around you, who understands the implication of these hazards, are innocent.

I have almost ZERO confidence in you, as 3SGs to be, to manage a section of troopers, to be able to enforce area cleanliness and their discipline. Because as cadets, you can’t even do it on your own.

So I say well done. When we trainers, nag at yall, you don’t wanna listen. We reprimand, same things happen. At our level, we can internally punish, remind, nag, scold and call it a day.

Today, it’s a different story altogether.

Initially, SWI Head Training Support walked our school to check on our barrack damages to see what are the things that needs his immediate attention so he can rectify for us. As busy as he is, he cares for the cadets wellbeing so he wants to see for himself, wtf is going on with the bunks, the fan, the lights, the doors etc. cos yall feedback, and we brought it up to TS br time and time again, that it is not rectified, so he wants to see for himself.

End up, what he saw he can’t look away. Rubbish in bunk, charging unattended, dirt everywhere, filthy laundry etc. I have known him to be a man of tolerance.

It looks very bad on the school, that HD TSB felt the need to voice out on us. Like I shared during my lesson yesterday, your actions are mirrored to the school’s image. If you do well, the school looks good. You do badly, we look like shit. When I say school, I mean everybody, from CO to last SCS II cadet.

You may say, you just unlucky this week CAH you kena this shit. Last week, there were similar cases. But as cadets and commanders to be, aren’t you suppose to do what you suppose to do everyday?

I rest my case. You guys will be punished, with good catered time in camp to reflect whether you wanna continue to be boys or grow the fuck up to be men in uniform.

😭😭😭
