As part of a counter-terrorism training programme, all personnel
from the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) and the Singapore Armed
Forces (SAF) are required to download the SGSecure mobile
application.
The ministry confirmed this in a statement on Friday (Jul 28) after
some national servicemen left reviews on the Apple and Android app
stores, claiming that their superiors "forced" them to download the
app or risk punishment.
"No download, no bookout," said one user on the app store while
another left a comment on how he was "forced to download this app"
or "sign extra," a reference to punishment in the form of extra
duties.
"Encik say download or charge, I download," wrote
another.
