frankly speaking, e officer i/c should also be held accountable
Investigations ongoing in case of NS man who left camp with pyrotechnics
By Imelda Saad, Channel NewsAsia | Posted: 13 August 2008 2042 hrsSINGAPORE : The 18-year-old youth caught carrying military drill pyrotechnics or thunderflashes outside the army camp may face a charge of "dishonest misappropriation of Singapore Armed Forces property".
Under the SAF Act, this carries a penalty of up to 7 years in jail.
Police arrested the full-time National Service man at Boat Quay while conducting anti-crime rounds in the early hours of National Day.
When ignited, thunderflashes mimic battlefield blasts, and can cause injuries if exploded near a person.
It is not known how the youth had smuggled the thunderflashes out of camp and what he planned to do with them.
The police and Ministry of Defence are investigating the incident. - CNA /ls

Thunderflash, like blanks, are expendible..you light, you throw.. kablooey!!
check what?
anyway, the guy who smuggled them out is a dimwit..
you want something like that, you can make them easily...
-
His NS period extended by another few years.

Feel like it is a bit over parionoid. To recall everyone back for search etc. Thunderflash and blanks used to be those ammo that can be used in exercises outside live firing area. Remember last time when the news on Sunday would announce certain areas would have SAF activities for the week, they always include: "Blanks and Thunderflashes may be used". Those areas announced includes rural areas that still have functioning villages and open to the general public. Yup, it is wrong to take it out on your own, sort of like stealing SAF property. But to say till like taking out very dangerous explosive seems more like a case of over sensationising by the press.

If the person want to steal it, he can hide it behind some trees and then retreive it after the strip search !!! There is just no way to prevent if the person is determine enough. The only deterrent is heavy punishment if he is caught !!! - send this sucker to jail for a few years ...after that no more idiots will even dare to try it. -

both types..they got yelled at by the PC and BC before for brandishing the GPMG and using the bloody thing to shoot their modified blanks
some of the regulars were mad..
these guys used to charter a boat then go to the live-firing areas for fishing, only getting out when chased away by the PCG or navy
