the success was due to a cohesive effort by a team of people who were one by one manipulated and discarded when they lost their worth to the very man who plotted and schemed his way into power.

so our success can be said to be thanks to one man's lust for power.

S$1.2 million should be enough.... Since our ministers are paid millions of dollars a year. So...what is S$1.2m to its people serving National Service that died during training; and how many will die or will deperately kill themselve to get the S$1.2m? Mr. Green

Stingy govt?

Did anyone read the load of bullshit written by a Colonel in response to the article on the VIP treatment. The Colonel, at Mindef, makes no reference to the preferential treatment given to VIP sons. Just some ususla bullshit excuse.

It seems that you have no courage to ask your parents how much value they place on your life - you must be quite worthless to them Cool

Why bother with who asked the question first ?

You want to play "scissor, paper, stone" so as to determine who answer first ? Mr. Green

Its seems you are running away from the question. If 111k is not enough, how much is enough? Is 500k enough? If not, then how much? Is 2million enough? How abt 5 million? Enough for you?

The answer is there - if you care to read before you shoot off in a blurrrrr Evil or Very Mad

How about some honesty from you ? Cool

How much value does your parents placed on this " very smoked salman " ? Rolling Eyes

It does not matter too much anyway you answer - is your answer of any value knowing how you depend on so much 'no brainer, one-liners' . Mr. Green

Why VIPs to Tekong get 'special treatment'

I REFER to Mr Lawrence Loh Kiah Muan's letter, 'VIPs' sons given special treatment in 1999' (ST, Jan 16). Mr Loh referred to his experience on enlistment day for his late son at the Basic Military Training Centre (BMTC) in Tekong in 1999.

As a matter of principle, Mindef deploys and treats all enlistees in the same way in national service. This applies also to the way we conduct our processes on enlistment day - all newly enlisted personnel are treated in the same way regardless of their background.

However, BMTC does normally facilitate the entry and exit from Tekong of persons holding national office to ensure their security and also as a basic courtesy and respect for their appointment.

We apologise for any inconvenience that may have been caused to Mr Loh and any other parents that day.
