nismoS132 SG

i have a fren who called the hotline to complain about a certain sgt. next day CSM came down and asked who called. my fren eventually admitted to calling, and the sgt wanted to charge him with insurbodination.

basically what happened was the sgt made a sick guy worse. let's just say he lost half his manhood.

Ogbunwezeh SG

Hmmm my friend call SAF hotline complain, next day the sgt of his course no longer in charge liao… Nv tekan him

epImetheus SG

definitely no. some idiot called & said that he wanted to commit sucide thus resulting in extra guard duty & 24-hr prowling in my unit. Evil or Very Mad

gnoik SG

I also got a platoon mate who called the hotline.Next day the OC come and ask all the sgts who the one who called but no recruits admit.As a result the whole coy was tekaned..countless time of change parade,pushups jumping jacks etc..all conducted by the sgts..somemore at nite during sleeping time..
The OC was not awared of it..
Conclusion:Better dun call unless it ABSOLUTE necessary!! Crying or Very sad

Gordonator SG

SAF counselling hotline is not for u all to complain what. Neutral

kwlee SG

sans-culotte SG

The SAF hotline is just for show....

If want to complain...either Mindef or MP...

anyway why complain thru SAF hotline...?? That line is just to setup for the sake of setting up...

Ogbunwezeh SG

Hmmm i have a friend from my unit who complain to MP, kena found out by CO, nearly kena charge. Anyway, who can listen to the misery of NSF?? Every possible sources also will kena tekan... No democracy n human right

Very true.Sometimes, going through the chain of command is not very practical, if the person you are complaining about and your immediate superior are buddies.If your superior is not impartial enough, and your case is not heard and the situation worsens, what then is the recourse?Realistically, can a mere recruit ever know enough about the system to find himself some help?No.Even lao jiaos like us still have many queries about the SAF.

Impartialism and professionalism must form the priority of every man, spec and officer in the SAF if everyone is to b guaranteed fair and equal treatment.Treat others as you would like others to treat you.I really feel sorry for those NSFs who are bullied, abused by higher-ups and run into a brick wall when they go through the chain of command.If they take the brave step of writing a letter to their MP, they are co-opted and charged.What the hell is this?This is mere abuse and usage of a very loose definition of insubordination.If the complaints are heard and resolved promptly and fairly, these unfortunate events might have been avoided.

So, guys, please treat your men well, and keep an eye out for other troopers who are not under you as well.We are all soldiers and we wear the green, be it for 2 years or 20 years.But each is a human being with feelings, a life and emotional capabilities that differ amongst individuals.Surely it is not hard to be a real man and assist the ones in trouble and help the desperate?Let us all serve our time in peace and ensure we leave the army with a sane mind and healthy emotions.

Gordonator SG

morale of the story, if want to complain, don't do it yourself or risk kena charge/extras.

ask someone else to do it for u. Laughing

chikopek SG

This consuelling hotline is of no use.

I have a friend who suffered slight depression during confinement period in Tekong and he called the hotline but the consuellor on the phone doesn't seems to be willing to talk to him and when my friend requests to talk to consueller one to one in person the consuellor on the phone said that he needs to get MO's permission to talk to a consuellor. And you know how Tekong's MO is like.

gnoik SG

Tekong's MOs only 2 words GUAI LAN!!!!
Had an unpleasant experience when i see tekong MO..knock it down before entering the room cos forget to say rank,name and i/c no.. Sad
And that was the last time i see takong MO...

kwlee SG

indeed very guai lan....

knock a sick person down

chao MO...

LazerLordz SG

There are rogue MOs out there.Totally undeserving of their rank .

aajax SG

Fully agree with everyone's saying... SAF cannot make it. No matter what u do is correct or wrong, as long as anyone see u buay song, they will find ways to charge u or let u sign extra... I myself cannot wait to ORD... 4 more months of hell to go before i can become a bird and fly outside the world.

Conclusion: DIE DIE ALSO AND NEVER SIGN ON AS REGULAR...

wuming78 SG

you have a rather prejudiced view against the organisation and all its people based on your own short personal experience, which i take it that wasnt too pleasant. for this, i thought it was totally regrettable. however, please do not generalise and think that everybody in the organisation behaves like those who did wrong to you. in any case, these people could only make you sign extra. when you go out into the real world, similar people would have much more ways and means to backstab you without you knowing. do take note.

lwflee SG

^^^ Agree - SAF is seriously shielded which account for how some totally incompetent people can still survive.

Back to topic, i have no experience about SAF hotline, but you can try Mindef? In BMT someone sent mindef a fax pertaining to perceived ill treatment and the results were quick. However, the person who sent the fax did include name so i suspect that they will not entertain anonymous Tipoffs.

Anyway you must have a valid reason for staying out. Girl friend problems simply dun count imo. And even if you have a valid reason, the most you might hope for is a stay out pass that allows you to stay out say 2 nights a week. IE Tues, Thurs.
