Going by the number of misleading headlines that come out of The Independent in recent days, Kenneth Jeyaratnam probably hammered the nail right on its head when he described Leon Perera's The Independent, the new proxy for WP, as a 'gutter tabloid'.
The latest from The Independent is the sensational headline:
SAF outsources rigger job to contractors from PRC
A netizen had posted on his facebook his concern about the packing of parachutes being outsourced to PRC contractors.
Instead of checking to verify the accuracy of the post, The Independent very quickly published it, eager for the opportunity to stir some anti-foreigner sentiment against the government. They even spelled out PRC as "People's Republic of China".
But what exactly is PRC?
It's Pasir Ris Camp.
That's right. PRC is Pasir Ris Camp.
Pasir Ris Camp consists of the following unit:
HQ 10th Singapore Infantry Brigade (HQ 10 SIB)
Commando Training Institute (Cdo TI)
Special Operations Training Centre (SOTC)
Special Operations Tactics Centre (SOTAC)
Special Operations Tactical Support Centre (SOTSC)
And the packing of parachutes is done by the Special Operations Tactical Support Centre (SOTSC).
And where is this Special Operations Tactical Support Centre (SOTSC) ?
That's right. It's at Pasir Ris Camp.
Hence the packing of parachutes is done at PRC - Pasir Ris Camp.
Wonder what The Independent's founder, Leon Perera has to say?
