A recent picture posted by the Basic Military Training Centre (BMTC) with regards to their latest enlistment exercise has drew flak from netizens all over the internet.
The picture in question appears to be taken from part of the BMTC tour offered to visitors who went to Pulau Tekong to see off the enlistees as they transition from a civilian to a soldier.
A closer look at the picture reveals that a bunk bed inside one of the living quarters of the recruits has been installed with mosquito netting.
Of course, netizens who have served the army be it past or present and even those who did not serve before have gathered to comment on the picture.
Everyone in the comments section, presumably the ‘hokkien pengs’ (hokkien soldiers), and even the younger generation suddenly started commenting like their time in the army was the toughest and the recruits now are all like ‘gu niangs’ (soft).
Here is the picture of the bunk bed in question
