latest:

The cyclist who was hit by a bullet slug in a restricted area in the Central Catchment Nature Reserve may have tried to cover his tracks from the authorities.

He did not initially disclose that he had been riding near a live-firing range. His riding partner also deleted details of his ride on cycling tracking app Strava.

Isn't this obstruction of investigation? They commit offence and tried to destroy evidence, not very ethical. If not for the garmin account, they would have continued the lie.

ROFLOL 🤣 goes to show you never serve ns or is scdf or spf? Blank, thunder flash, smoke grenade use is during field training when attacking “enemy”

When come to live firing, all the round use is live and can caused injuries and death be it M16 or GPMG, just that the latter round is bigger and fire power is stronger and can fire burst of round and further distance but doesn’t mean all the rounds will land inside the target, unlike a Sniper firing with a sniper scope
Could be air force, navy or lobo army vocation too

actually i kinda dun believe mindef didn't know of such intrusions... especially when this guy has been doing it for soooo long, so did other cyclists. live firing area literally next to a park with little to no physical barrier other than just a sign

as long as they dun do anything funny inside, i believe they just close 1 eye

suay suay this bugger kenna shot and then open a can of worms

Live Firing in Forest Area usually means locally firing blanks lah.. u really think they use hot 5.56 rounds in non enclosed area? if really live rounds, probably those 7.62 MG rounds firing upwards towards reservoir, man probably wounded with gravity fallen rounds firing around over 1000m beyond safety officers view.

Infantry recruits need to hands-on practice local perimeter defense. Static Firing range cannot practise coordinated firing.
Too much ranges, infantry men only shoot when officers shout "Firers watch your front"
Wah year 2000 account and yet dint serve in NS or is a lobo or downgrade? U know what U typing or not. ...what part of live firing u don't understand.

If in the US, the cyclist would have sued the military and get millions

last time army site will say Trespassers will be prosecuted. Maybe they will write that in bold and proceed to charge all the cyclist involved in this incident as a warning.

Nowadays messages very mild for strawberry generation. Should say trespassers will be jailed at least xx years.

If they tried to cover the tracks, it mean they might trespassing very close to the live firing area. No wonder got shot.
