MINDEF/SAF's position on discriminatory practices in the SAF

18 August 2015

This article has been migrated from an earlier version of the site and may display formatting inconsistencies.

It has come to our attention that there are social media posts spreading allegations of discriminatory practices in the SAF.

MINDEF/SAF takes such allegations seriously as it impacts public trust and undermines the strong public support for National Service (NS) and the SAF. MINDEF/SAF does not tolerate any discriminatory behaviour and is investigating to determine the facts of the case.

We take a serious view of the conduct of our servicemen. If any service personnel is found to have breached our Code of Conduct, disciplinary proceedings will be convened and the necessary actions will be taken.
