THE GHOSTS OF THE PAST, SPEAK TO ALL WHO LISTEN...
I was serving my NS with an Armour Maintenance Corp. We were headquartered in Ayer Raja Camp between 1996-97. In Late 1996, I was to be part of a group of NS-men doing their 2-weeks in-camp training. Part of the 2 weeks training involved a week long field exercise. We were required to strike camp …
I was an army driver in Kranji Camp. My unit often have our exercises in the Lim Chu Kang Traning area. There was one night, actually early morning, when I had to send some people back to camp during an exercise. Somehow, no specialist or officer actually went back with me to the training ground. …
For those who have served in Seletar Camp before, they sure would have heard of the infamous Pocongs (ghost shrouded in white burial clothings and tied) stories. Many soldiers, present and past nsf maybe knew of this. The haunted place is maybe at the MT lines where they keep tonners, rovers, etc. Maybe can cover …
Would like to share this story, which happened to me during the year 1999. I am enlisted to Pulau Tekong for BMT, I am under the obese batch (meant only for the fat). There are many strange happenings that I encounter which I will share with you my dear readers. 1st story Hawk Platoon have …
Would like to share a story (only that you don’t publish my real name) that I experienced personally during my army days. This was 1991. After BMT, I was posted to School of Signals at Stagmont Camp for 7 weeks of Basic Signaler Course. Camp was an eye-opener as it was like a holiday camp …
I heard this story from an OCS officer when I was young, around primary 2 when my dad brought me to OCS. It goes like this. One night, the military truck in Pulau Tekong was supposed to return to their based in camp from an outpost. It was quite a distance they have to cover …
I would like to share some of my experiences in Tekong as a SISPEC instructor and later on BMTC instructor. I was in SAF for 5 years, being naive enough to sign the dotted line. My first posting after my SISPEC training was as an instructor in SISPEC, which demoralised me as I expected to …
I was a medic serving OCS. There was a rumour that the bunks where the support staffs were staying had some sightings. Maybe because there are lots of stay-out personnel, the bunks were empty at night, resulting in a ‘YIN’ situation. For example the infamous one was when two sergeants were lying on their beds …
We were on one of our night laagar (can’t remember how to spell this word) and 2 of my men were placed quite a distance away from the vehicle as lookouts. Some distance ahead of them is a knoll. In the dead of the night, the PS was walking with one man towards their post …
I was a recruit in R coy BMTC School 2. There was a night when I was sleeping, I suddenly woke up in the middle of the night (it happens to me occasionally). While trying to get back to sleep, I heard a faint sound from a bell along the corridor ( I sleep extreme …
