Being a NSF now, actually there are many safety checks and regulations in place.
But who takes it seriously? Even when filling up hydration forms before runs, no 7 hours of sleep also put got. Never water parade also check yes.
But seriously, collapsing at SFT will be the last thing anyone would think of. If it was heatstroke, the symptoms would have shown long before he booked out. And taking the ferry can't be physically demanding.
maybe he kena tekan until jialat jialat just before book out? Stand by bed until very siong..
Then again, the press is sometimes unfair. The news gets reported primarily because he collapsed while wearing a uniform. And people link it to the army. If he collapsed while wearing civilian clothes, in a shopping centre, maybe it would won't even be reported.
i have to agree with you on this. Just because he's a serviceman it gets blown somewhat out of proportion.
