National Geographic Channel Singapore Publicity Stunt Fail.

Saw this picture on my Facebook and this picture immediately caught my attention but probably for the wrong reason.

I believe this is part of the publicity stunt to show case their upcoming show Every Singaporean Son.

For those who are unfamiliar, this is the 2nd season after the popular 1st season. And before anyone complains that they are nothing but copycat of ABTM, this awesome online show came first.

But anyway, back to the point, so the stunt allows public to command a platoon of "soldiers" at our CBD area. How is it? Publicity check but are we happy? NO.

Within an hours this was posted on Yahoo, hundreds of comments and shares were generated but apparently none positive.

So on top of the fact that the most of our soldiers already don't take pride of army(base on personnel experience in camp.)  did this publicity stunt just made things worst?

Pride and glory aside, are we even allowed to use Property of SAF for such "showmanship"? And I remember my Encik telling me we can't even book out in "Vest Slack" cause it is not a proper Army uniform like our "Long 4" which is the green camo with long sleeves. Are SAF aware of this publicity stunt?

Mr.Smith, I hate doing IPPT but I will always say the same, I love my army days and this shit is just... SHIT.
