After so much revulsion and hostility towards the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) over the tragic end to the case of Dominique Sarron Lee, the military had to defend themselves from further public castigation.
Last week, it was revealed that the family of Lee — the 21-year-old SAF national serviceman who died during training — had their suit against the SAF dismissed, and were ordered to pay their legal costs. Lee's mother wrote a heartbreaking plea to her deceased son in a viral Facebook post, in a depressing end to over three years of finding closure.
