A snitch who reported a Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) regular for moonlighting when he used the carpooling app, GrabHitch, has become the subject of ridicule after a netizen brought this case to light last night.

 According to an image that is circulating online, the SAF regular had used GrabHitch to ferry a passenger, Ms Danielle Goh, to her home on 15 December 2016. The driver accepted $3.50 for the hitch ride. A day later on 16 Decemnber, the MINDEF Feedback Unit received an email informing them that the regular was moonlighting as a GrabHitch driver and commenced investigations into the matter.
The regular was eventually convicted of moonlighting and fined $2,000 in lieu of 2 weeks detention.
Singaporean netizens were quick to jump to the defense of the regular serviceman, who many felt had done nothing wrong. Confused netizens wondered if GrabHitch was now off limits for all drivers who had full time jobs and whose companies do not allow moonlighting.
An overwhelming majority also criticized Ms Goh for acting dishonorably by taking the ride and stabbing her driver in the back.
