i believe the officer won't ask u to wash with tootbush. commonly the platoon sergeant is the 1 who come up with all those funny funny punisment. somemore i doubt they will ask u to do it, they most likely will order u to do it.Originally posted by Shinhwa:Hi people, i have heard that inside the Army, if you kena tekan alot..

but nowadays SAF is getting more and more welfare to recruits. because the recruits and their parents can easily complain (SAF hotline etc). and when complains come, the OC surely will take action 1. so these type of punishments now hardly can be seen liao. so don't worry. -
It's more of a hazing ritual, rather than punishment, from the past. There's still a lot of tekaning & regimentation these days, but more within the context of respect for human dignity now. Heck, I understand they don't even emphasize as much siong circuit training for NSF swimmers anymore.
One urban myth I've heard before is how a bunch of such toilet-cleaning conscripts competing to out-gross each other with their fun antics. Beginning with scrubbing their body & ears, they switched to mock-combing hair & eyebrows & then - more manically - mimic-penetrating into the nose & anus before the coup de grace: brushing teeth with the "unclean" toothbrush! -
if ever any bugger ask u to do that, he would breach human rights, and all u have to do is call the hotline no. Today's SAF is not welfare cos they reallly love ur pretty ass, but the people of Singapore are better educated on issues such as law and ethics. So unless the govt wants an international human rights crisis, if better improve its treatment of conscripts

if u see dun know whatever page of the recruit handbook it all say clearly that whatever your officer give punishments must be within your limits, your ability and reaonable. but my dad say lst time got lah for those got ranks on their sleeve one
-
if you wanna book out...you got to clean the tiolet bowl until you can lick it...
...was what we were told... -

IMO It's actually only degrading if the DI forces you to use your own toothbrush.
Objectively, what's wrong with cleaning the loo with such a tool, as long as the latter is disposable? It's not like the SAF provided such basic supplies all the time either; a lot of the equipment (esp. pails, but also extra brushes) were traditionally "scavenged" - sometimes brought from one's own home or paid for out of one's own pockets. My active time even saw a spell where the unfortunate area-cleaners had to rely only on hoses to clean out the filth every morning.
I understand that some camps outsourced such duties now, but toilet cleaning - even as a punishment - doesn't carry the humiliation of a corrective work order. What if a DI asked you to use a cloth to wipe the surfaces of toilet bowls? Repulsive or not, that is precisely what's being done by chambermaids & civilian cleaners.
