Are NSmen suppose to be soldiers, or are they parking cones to
reserve space at carparks for MINDEF top
guns? If MINDEF have an impt function at
HDB Hub, they shld liase with HDB for carpark space instead of wasting resources by
making NSmen guard the parking space. If MINDEF have no productive use of NSmen, then they shld
shorten NS liability to less than 2 yrs instead of misusing them in
this way. PRs and new citizens are exempted from NS, so with our
dwindling population, the no of NSmen serving the nation are also
decreasing. Therefore MINDEF shld learn to
treasure our Singaporeans’ sacrifices instead of taking them for
granted and misusing them in this way.

[b]Mindef sends soldiers to ‘chope’ more than 30 parking lots at
HDB Hub[b]
STOMPer Michael Chin says these men in uniform prevented people
from parking in more than 30 lots at Toa Payoh HDB Hub’s carpark. He questions if they really have to
right to reserve lots like that.
In an email today (June Cool the STOMPer explained the
situation:
“MINDEF sent their staff to block more than 30 carpark lots at
Toa Payoh HDB Hub Basement 1.
“Apparently this was for their event at HUB Exhibition Hall on June 8. Those who drove in to the
carpark in Basement 1 saw lots of empty lots but were asked to
drive off by MINDEF staff.
“I believe these carpark lots are first-come-first-served and
all drivers pay their parking fees by the minute.”
