23 Singapore Civil Defence Force officers who had damaged property in their dormitory at the Civil Defence Academy are facing disciplinary action after one of the officers uploaded 2 videos of their misdeeds online late in April. The clips spread quickly through social media, which prompted the SCDF to launch investigations into the officers' misbehavior. The SCDF told the media today that 9 regular and 14 National Service Full-time (NSF) officers had been involved in the incident on 24th April this year.

At about 5AM yesterday, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) was alerted by residents of a Shenton Way condominium about a potential suicide jumping in progress. Residents observed that a 33 year-old Caucasian man, who resided in the 34th floor of the condominium, had been behaving strangely and loudly proclaiming that he wanted to kill himself. When the SCDF and police were informed, a Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team was dispatched to the scene, along with fire engines and an ambulance.

I am writing as a regular in the SCDF. Please keep my identity anonymous as I don't want to stir up trouble for myself or others. The video uploaded by the bunch of goons, who destroyed their room, is not a representative of the SCDF image at all. I know of many SCDF regulars and NSFs who really put their life on the line everyday, serving without making any noise about their job.
