Difficult to understand why Defense Minister did not attend late CPL Fahrurrazi’s funeral
Posted by temasektimes on August 18, 2012
When the Brunei’s chopper crashed recently….the Brunei Sultan was everywhere consoling and give comfort to the deceased family ( crash site, hospital and funeral ). When we saw in the news, we were touched by the sultan’s care and concern!
We, too, find it difficult to understand why as a defence minister did not attend the funeral thus just send a condolence letter to the deceased family.
There are questions that are unexplained between a true son of Singapore and China-born players of Singapore where MPs, ministers and DPM of Singapore welcome them back from the airport with open arms, flowers and bear hugs for them! Singaporeans dun ask for much but a little action of console and comfort from a Minister shows he cares!! But he did not….
If only the late Goh Keng Swee is alive….I bet he will be the 1st man to embrace the deceased family and he will felt sorry! RIP, dearest soldier Fahrurrazi! We miss you much!!

Because he is a Malay muslim. Mr, LEE KUAN YEW WOULD HAVE ATTENDED AS HE IS A STATESMAN NOT THIS NEW GENERATION OF SO CALLED LEADERS.
Ah Chek said
Pse lets not lionize GKS. The current cabinet are the natural result of GKS’s policies.
He was part of LKY’s cabinet and is responsible for the ruling party’s ethos. He created the most powerful conditioning engine in Spore -NS and in camp training – which keeps the average chinese Sporean male docile and fearful of our neighbours.
LkySi said
The deceased was a Malay. If he was a China born serving his NS, the Defence Minister and his circus would be there to moan his loss.

IF IT IS A WHITE HORSE CASUALTY, THEN HE WILL TURN UP AT THE HOSPITAL OR AT THE FUNERAL PARLOR.
EVERYONE OF OUR CITIZENS THAT IS SERVING THE NATION OR HAVE SERVED THE NATION DESERVED OUR FULLEST
SUPPORT IN THEIR HOUR OF NEED.
WHAT THE MINISTER DID NOT DO IS TOTALLY A DISGRACE TO US.
alex said
Because he is not PRC and not a millionaire like Ma Chi.
alex said
Even our PM or President never come out to give condolence to the family. This is double standard !

When a PRC crashed his car into a taxi driven by a Singaporean, our beloved PM wrote in his Facebook expressing condolences. When two PRC construction workers were buried alive when one of the construction site collapsed, our beloved PM once again wrote in his Facebook expressing his condolences to the PRCs. How come, when a Singapore son die when serving the nation, the silence from our beloved PM is so conspicuous?
Me said
… he is busy preparing his national day rally speech to impress everyone,
so he forget the human touch. All his administrators are in full force to
‘beautify’ his speech. So, they have no time to post other issues .. Haha

Angry Lion said
Simple…..in the eyes of the MIW, all NS slaves are expendable and not worth a piece of shit. We all know the amount of compensation paid to the families of NS slaves who have died over the past years is a pittance. They even have the nerve to tell us that it is the soldier’s responsibility to buy his own insurance and push their liability back to us. To them, it is simply ‘You die, your business.’
Not that difficult to understand unless you are from the naive and daft 60.1%.
Ah Beng said
We have not heard a word of comfort from anyone in the cabinet.
The really sickening thing here is that this malay boy died for an army which does not trust his kind to work in places where the security clearance is high. He gave his life for a system which discriminates against his race.
mahbok tan said
Yes , i think NS means,National Slavess ,thats why we should call ourselves “sinkies” instead of SGporean.
Jack said
It just showed it is worth a lot more to bring medals to Singapore than defending the country
Singaporean said
Why should they attend to a dog’s funeral. You die your business.

Excuse me?

He’s too busy asking “what do u think” and terrorizing school children who don’t like him..

“If only the late Goh Keng Swee is alive….I bet he will be the 1st man to embrace the deceased family and he will felt sorry!”
I wonder what gave you that idea. Do you feel so unloved you need to fantasize about dead PAP politicians? Goh Keng Swee was a cold hearted man. There was nothing he found more disgusting than sentimental mushy acts like hugging and weeping, especially when the acts involved inconsequential lowlifes he didn’t know and didn’t care.
You are confusing Goh Keng Swee’s life story with the feel-good shit in Chicken Soup for the Soul.
Lau Chiu said
and lets not forget that in GKS’s time Malays were not allowed to do NS because they were not trusted…

My sincere condolence to Cpl Muhammad family; especially during this period of Ramadan and Hari Raya. It is indeed painful to witness such tragedy of our young fellow Singaporeans.

anthony ng, what’s the big deal? its a life we are talking about. u should do some self reflection and think before you speak.
Walter said
He must be afraid and embarrassed to attend. The Minister must have already gotten a “heads up” from MINDEF that it was negligent and thus responsible for the death of Fahrurrazi.
Lim said
Because true blood locally born sporeans r considered the lowest form of citizen in spore now.
Foreign Talent New Citizens who can win medals or contribute to GDP of Singapore r given the best treatment available in spore.
Don’t complain too much , if possible we can consider migrate to other countries n be their 2nd class citizens. At least better than staying at spore being the lowest grade citizen
dog of the dogs said
To a Singaporean ; Can you don’t do NS ? Do a minister need to waste his time on someone who got no choice but has to fulfil his obligation ? You not happy, SO WHAT ?
stevenadosan said
That’s the true color of our so-called minister! Now we know that our ministers were interested in their high salary only.Other than spewing rubbish after rubbish, don’t expect them to be people oriented!
Alvin said
Another case of a fair weather minister making their rounds. If it is hard and requires some actual human interaction and emotion, don’t expect them to be around. How do they expect to listen or know about the real voice of the people when all they want to hear are good things and good news?
Invictus said
Also where’s our Minster of Muslim Affair Dr Yacoob. Only interest to attend baby kissing events or is he just too busy trying to implement his Code Of Conduct for the Internet. If so, perhaps he should just relinquish his post because i for one don’t consider him as my Malay representative
stevenadosan said
Malay Wayang kulit actors/actress, not Malay representative!

Has there ever been a precedent in Singapore?
David Ong said
I have never noticed any Minister of Defence of Singapore attending the death of any National Serviceman in the last 40 odd years of national service. Even the late Goh Keng Swee do not attend death of an NSMan. I know that in the first 5 years of NS the compensation for death of an NSman is almost an insult to the Family that a few of the families gave the compensation to charity or not bother to receive it from the government.

When floods occured, they too were nowhere to be seen. Its as if their offices
were 500km away. Its their attitude and arrogant ways, period.
cc chia said
Our PAP ministers and civil servants are too busy living in their ivory towers with their head in the clouds to be bothered with NS slaves and peasants. Jobs and benefits are for FTs and elites. while NS is for the Singaporean peasants. We die it’s our problem.
The only time you will get to easily meet our PAP ministers is just before the G.E. when they try to get our votes.
Please remember to vote wisely at the next G.E. in 2016.

a young sg live is loss in the hand of our defense force.

Karma is a bitch. I believe those assholes will get their just deserts very soon.
minister has more important thing to do said
minister has more important thing to do
minister should spend time on more important thing and not just attending the funeral, he can delegate to someone to attend!
LkySi said
Like his maid servant
Heart said
Attend with a heart! If he has no heart to attend, why be a hypocrite?
Goh Tong Seng said
This is obviously a conspiracy. The LCP may have stumbled onto something not meant for his eyes and the top brass instructed someone in the convoy to kill him.
Tan Yan Ren said
Singaporeans,
Being spontaneous and having a genuine heart or real care for people in general is something many lacked in our present leadership…at least many of them dont really care SINCERELY.You can tell by the words and actions….they dont lie…at least after a while the fake attitude shows…..i made my point…..
Cheong said
Malays are natives of Singapore under article 152 . PAP does not give a hoot about natives Malays , if he was a PRC born and served you can be rest assured DPM PM all will attend! Fact that LKY publicly raised concerns on Malay higher birthrate shows blunt xenophobia. Malays are quite and lately has shown their worth in academics ( President Scholars , LKY gold award etc) and even in military. But don’t let them realise and say enough is enough- when natives run amok PAP can say bye bye . The pledge is not taken seriously and I am so ashamed, so ashamed!
Tan Yan Ren said
Loyalty , love and pride are all mashed into one……EITHER YOU HAVE IT OR DONT or JUST FAKING….any FOOL can tell a million miles away……just like those who called Singaporean’s opinions …NOISE!!!…it means the guy who uttered that word thinks you are an idiot and empty barrel making a lot of noise ,and NOT WORTH his TIME……..AMEN!!!!
Wayang Armed Forces said
MINDEF will its billion dollars budget every year can’t even set up a place to honour and remember those NS men who have died for the country.
All the talk about people being the heartware of the 3G army is just bull….the hearts of those in charge are black to begin with.

If is a new citizen all the minister maybe there as early as they can.

I am ready to push those PRCs and Pinoys back to their country where they belong- if that is inciting racial disharmony? I am guilty of it. Some of us can’t handle the truth
