posing in army uniform

Oh~ so I think SAF should ban uniform out of camp? Because once you step out of camp with uniform means leaking out information? Like what you mentioned, rank, unit, guards, ranger, airborne, marksman, etc??

No wonder so many information leaked cause SAF never ban uniform out of camp?

Dude, the web is free to grab, if ppl want to step into Sg to steal info, that one govt cannot stop unless they find evidence on him. But posting yr uniform pics especially the higher ranking and KAH on social website or Internet is something govt can do. If u think i am bull****ting u and the rest, then i cannot force u. If we ever bump into each other for GTGs and u serve NS, I will tell u what I heard and saw.

I believe there a code of conduct in civil service not to showoff yrslf wearing expensive thing especially in uniform.( but rolex very affordable nowadays as kids also wear them, expensive thing maybe like Lange , RM and etc). BTW, SAF officer has to got through table manner training as well. Do not surprise if the code of conduct for wear expensive things is there. I also remember that, officers of certain ranks are told not to take bus and train. But i guess only a civil servant can clarify that with us.

Bro, that is known as POLITICS....muayahahahah


Wah, first time i hear officer told not to take bus and train.....heehee.
Of what rank? BG?
Colonel earn only $15k, dont take bus or train, take what?
That should be peoples freedom right?
I dont know, i am only a corporal.

Dude, no offense but no u no bro to me lah. I personally never see a Full time service LTC and above take public bus and MRT in uniform. I also two arrow pointing down lei. Maybe NS to u is wayang, to me it is an added secuirty for my family. And for all other info. Big bro is watching us. So dun do anything foolish that will jeapadise yrself thinking u can get away with it. The snowden leak and recent change in MDA rule is just a warning for all of us.

Sorry I have to re-open because I want to set the record straight. I have to state upfront too that I do not know TS and have no particular relationship with him/her. But I see that the discussions here have gotten out of context. It is (I believe) not about whether there is 'legal rights' to take photo with uniform, or take photo with uniform and a branded watch, etc.

I think what TS was intending to talk about was how, certain information one shares publicly, will lead to unnecessary negative outcome. I believe it is not (legally) wrong to take and share photos of oneself in uniform wearing an expensive watch. It is how people will take such an opportunity to 'politicise' the whole issue. If you guys are discerning and sensitive to the socio-political climate, not only in Singapore, but around the world, you will realize how such an 'innocent photo' can lead to many things negative.

Remember the NKF saga? How did a "$600,000 a year is peanuts" created such furore? You see a pic of Sylvester Stallone wearing a PAM vs the pic of Lee Hsien Loong wearing the same PAM. What do you think? For some, they will think there is nothing wrong, and truly, there is nothing wrong! Remember the not-too-long-ago online vice ring that was busted and many people were arrested, most have been prosecuted, over sleeping with an "underaged" prostitute? Which accused persons will create more "news"? A civil servant or "man in uniform", or do you think a sales manager, insurance/property agent, etc.

Let's face it, a crime is a crime. But who is that person(s) who commits the crime gets the limelight or not. Whether you like it or not, people will take this chance to "wack". This goes the same for what (I think) TS intends to discuss here. He/she may have ulterior motive, I wouldn't know, but it is about being sensitive to what you want to share in public sphere.

I'm not saying who is wrong/right. We come from different backgrounds and live in different environments so to some, there is nothing wrong. But to others, it may hit a raw nerve. Personally, I will not do that (as in the photo).

Have a great weekend
