新媒:新军人遭枪杀事件，张志贤忙灭火，以免影响香格里拉对话会!
DPM Teo on the shotgun shooting incident

As stated in the previous post, the sound bytes have begun.

I believe damage control has to kick in quickly before the start of the Shangri-La Dialogue (SLD). This could explain the sudden spirit of glasnost that has facilitated stories on the incident in the Singaporean media - a somewhat dated story on the Third Generation Singapore Armed Forces.

I reckon these will die down temporarily once SLD gets underway.

As you listen to or read MINDEF's responses, ask yourself two things:
1) Why wasn't a news release issued?
2) When confronted by the 90 cents newspaper, why didn't MINDEF wrest the initiative and say that a second SAF serviceman was injured?

I believe it is point 2 that has fanned the ire of Singaporeans. It will be tragic if we fail to learn from this episode.
