Which unit's turn to do compulsory nkf donation? 2 weeks ago was cmpb. Laughing Minimum compulsory donation amount is $1.

Ponders SG

aiyah.. that compulsory donation is stupid.

somebody actually wrote to straits times forum complaining why he was forced.

the typical reply, "saf never force but encourage servicepersonnel to donate"

Stupid, when you tell OC you don't want to donate, he will ask why.

You say no money, oc say, " no money i will help you save money, you do duty during book out"

MrFugue SG

then you should say " more bookout is more chance to find money from public for donation..how to save money when i can't find money?"

smart lah! Laughing

AE86tofu SG

wah lan eh my time if call SAF hotline is even more tekan sessions....serviceman nowadays....sheesh....dun even know wads ali baba bag..... Laughing

freedom4ever SG

if you tell my CSM this, you no need to book out liao.

my friend last time kena once. he told CSM that he no money, then my CSM said no money dun book out for 1 mth. save bus fare. somemore can eat cookhouse, also save money till ur next pay, see you got money or not.

then another case is leg pain, cannot walk. my CSM said leg pain dun book out so you walk less. care for soliders mah. see you can walk or cannot walk.

Donation issue.

It is not legal for the unit to force the serviceman to donate. If your superior places you under administrative punishment for failing to reach a "supposed" amount, you have to report it.

alwaysdisturbed SG

tmd, bmtc everytime minimum 12 bucks for permstaffs….

Ponders SG

they will not punish you... but somehow you end up wondering how come most fatigue duties or tough exercise appointments are assigned to you.

that's the bigger problem... they will not explicitly punish.

Gordonator SG

when my chief clerk forces me to donate $1 every month to the community chest, i faked my bank account on the donation card. Laughing

MrFugue SG

y you didn't write down the chief clerk bank account number?

Mr. Green

LazerLordz SG

sad little people.

like they get a bonus for getting all their men to collect a "minimum" amount..

these people lack the brains to understand the heartfelt value of a willing donor who parts with what little they can afford.they deserve no respect from their men, and are fair game for anything else.

integrity and professionalism? bah. Get a real man to be the CSM. Too many snivelling weaklings around that lack ethics.

Incedrius SG

Unfortunately, the CSM probably felt like a 'real man' when he said all that. Like 'Yeah see, im so smart and tough! Dont fool around with me!' Sad people.

While im intellectually against forcing people to donate, I find myself going along with the system. An officer can hardly refuse to donate money to a charitable cause due to 'conscientiously objecting' to the whole 'forced' issue, right? How can I object to donating when I already donate so much on my own? The fact that this time its compulsory does not make a difference TO THE ORGANISATION. But it does to the individual. They will just say 'Hey Mr Officer, we are not forcing you! As an officer, you SHOULD ALREADY be willing to donate.' And there you go... Rolling Eyes
