SAF should not be the Achilles heel in anti-DIABETES war
More research into relationship between IPPT score vs onset of diabetes mellitus needs to be done with massive SAF repository of pre-enlistment medical screening results, pre-IPPT FFI, FFI for regular servicemen, family history and smoking/ drinking habit data and not least, annual IPPT results for BOTH NSmen and ESPECIALLY regular servicemen vs their future medical outcomes: e.g. years since best IPPT result till onset of diabetes mellitus , healthcare subsidy consumption vs latest valid IPPT result.

Immediate reasons why Singapore will not survive any significant war:
Immediate reasons why Singapore will not survive any significant war:
We are too dependent on foreign workers and MOM's contribution vz recklessness/ negligence to that problem:
Overdependence on work permit holders for Singapore's defence:
NSmen are too physically weak to even carry their own field packs when attending reservist:

SAF needs to stop treating NSmen like slaves/ mercenaries if Singapore is to defend herself successfully.

It is absurd that SAF reservist remuneration schemes seems to discredit the objective military appointments/ performance of NSmen gleaned from their 2.5yrs of NSF training experience and prefers to remunerate NSmen in a very biased, subjective manner based upon their civilian salaries (commercial worth), as if SAF were some medieval colonial naval entity heavily involved in slave trading, the employment of mercenaries and other immoral/ illicit activities (e.g. the kidnapping slaves from Africa, British India Company forcibly importing Opium into China).
I say this because for SAF to remain a cohesive fighting force of professional and committed men of at least 2yrs full time military training, SAF has to professionalise/ personalise its NSmen remuneration schemes, rather than irresponsibly attach a reservist soldier's value to his commercial value: since this only encourages generations of NSmen to find excuses to downgrade/ avoid military liabilities in lieu of striving for a higher civilian salary, as evidenced in the fact that an unbelievable >60% of NSmen have since successfully applied for medical downgrades, so serious, "Vast majority of NSmen not even fit to take physical fitness test(?let alone able to pass it?).".

Pride and Arrogance of Singaporeans, a threat to the National Security of the Island State.
A slip of the tongue let the naked truth out, the 'Singapore Population White Paper 2030 (2013)' incontrovertibly denigrating the nursing profession: defining it as “low skilled” workers.[Health officials in strong defence of nurses (The Sunday Times, 10 February 2013, Pg 8)].
Blogs that do not lie also report the truth: "There’s a lot of verbal abuse that we’re suffer.We’re expected to be efficient despite being severely overworked (in Singapore)."[TOC: 30Jan2015: 'Government: Hard to get SG locals to become nurse'].
With such a prevalent culture of prejudice and abuse against frontline service staff, not least the nursing profession, Singapore seems now dependent upon transient (foreign) service staff to man its hospitals: 'Singapore faces nurse shortfall for years to come' [By Salma Khalik, The Straits Times, 15 Feb 2013]

Info could have come sooner: Mindef
Ministry says needs of injured soldiers shot in Thailand were priority, but it should have informed media at that time.
