PM's son's army gaffe

2LT Lee Hong Yi, better known as PM Lee's son, had fired off an e-mail within the military network lambasting the "quality of leadership" in the SAF to the top brass, including the Minister of Defence and the Chief of Defence Force.

For me I think he did a fine job of speaking up no matter what family he comes from. Let's put feelings and sentiment aside for a while and think this through. The problem here should be the internal controls in the Armed Forces. Why are there no whistle blowing practices in place for anonymous informants to tell on the misdeeds of their co-workers? For an organisation as big as the Armed Forces, don't you think that there should be more effective internal controls in place? This is an organisation which controls weapons and defence systems and yet has arcane controls and management reporting systems. If a bank in Singapore can have whistle-blowing system in place to detect and prevent money laundering, fraud etc..., why shouldn't an entire army? That is the point that the public and more importantly, the Ministry, should look into.
