In response to Minister for Defence's Ng Eng Hen's Ministerial Statement, Non-Constituency Member of Parliament (NCMP) Dennis Tan asked for clarifications about the level at which unit commanders will be penalised for safety lapses, as well as the point at which a senior officer would be made to take responsibility to send a signal to the Force.

Minister Ng emphasised that the signal will be a clear one - that unit commanders who do not meet standards, even if accidents have not occured, will be penalised during their performance review.

He added that MINDEF and SAF's focus is on what works and makes a difference, as well as focusing on the day-to-day issues on the ground to solve the safety problem.

Minister Ng gave a Ministerial Statement in Parliament on 11 February 2019 on National Service Training Deaths and Safety Enhancements for the SAF.
