The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) holds its service personnel to high standards of discipline and integrity. Service personnel who commit offences will be dealt with in accordance with the law.

CPT(NS) Chaw Chia Jun was suspended from all duties following his arrest in 2024. He has since been released from regular service and is no longer with the SAF.
