The Public Utilities Board (PUB) has deployed alternative water sources to the Basic Military Training Centre (BMTC) in Pulau Tekong in light of discoloured tap water in certain areas of the camp on Wednesday (20 November).
In a Facebook post today (21 November), the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) said that the PUB was immediately contacted after the occurrence. It is said that PUB officers responded quickly to flush the water network at the camp while also collecting water samples to investigate the cause of the discolouration.
MINDEF said, “The safety and well-being of our servicemen is of paramount importance,” adding that PUB water wagons have been deployed to meet the essential water needs of servicemen there including for drinking and food preparation.
The Ministry is working with PUB to restore potable supply for water at the camp as quickly as possible.

根据《海峡时报》报道,民防服役人员郭俨进中士被推入泵井溺毙一案,其中涉案的兩名被告今日提出抗辩,出庭受审。 去年的5月13日,22岁的郭俨进在大士景消防局庆祝退伍时,因被推入消防局里一口约12米的泵井,不幸溺毙身亡。 五名被指涉案的同僚于2018年7月25日被控,分别是消防队长钟志文中尉(38岁)、副队长纳詹一级高级准尉(40岁)、一级准尉法立(34岁),以及两名上士长努尔法特瓦(33岁)和阿迪哈扎里(32岁)。 消防队长钟志文中尉(38岁)、副队长纳詹一级高级准尉(40岁)今日出席审讯,审讯过程预计将长达两周。 钟志文和纳詹被指控,分别身为消防队的正副队长,却放任其他人导致郭俨进重伤,期间并未阻止他们,犯下教唆他人做出鲁莽行为导致他人重伤的罪状。 其余被告则被指分别犯下行为鲁莽导致他人死亡罪及妨碍司法罪,除了努尔法特瓦认罪以外,其他被告则交由法院处理中。 努尔法特瓦目前已被判处1年4星期监禁,正在服刑中。他承认被指控的两项罪名:将行为鲁莽导致他人死亡罪以及妨碍司法公正罪;阿迪哈扎里于去年12月因删除重要视频,而被判1个月监禁。 证人忆当时并未有人立即出面阻止 今日审讯时,上士长 Al-Khudaifi Chang,回忆当时事件发生,并未有人试图阻止悲剧发生。 “整个过程,没有人告诉我们要停止,也没有人提起“停止”这个词。” 他表示现场参与庆祝仪式的人逾10人,而钟志文和纳詹是在切蛋糕仪式中出现,即是泵井溺毙事件发生前夕。…
