Ong also asked for servicemen to adopt a “zero accident” mindset and to do their work with mindfulness, doing “things right the first time, every time”.
Yahoo News Singapore reports him as saying, “Safety is a command responsibility. Commanders answer for the training and safety of their men. To do so, commanders have to be fully committed and personally and intimately involved in their unit’s training, operations, and safety. The reduction in training tempo will allow us, commanders, to take stock, re-orientate, and give full attention to this.”
Ong added that he and the army, air force and navy chiefs and commanders at all levels will be visiting SAF units to make sure that safe training methods are observed.
