The SGSecure mobile application has drawn flak from men serving their National Service after they were reportedly forced to download the app for face punitive action.
A flurry of NS men left the app 1-star reviews in response, after allegedly being threatened that they will be charged, will have to do extra duty or that their IC won’t be returned to them after they end their 2-year service.
Launched in September 2016, the SGSecure app aims to prepare the public to deal with possible terror attacks. It allows users make direct emergency calls, report emergencies and receive emergency alerts.
