Since the start of this year, commanders in SAF training schools and institutes, such as the Officer Cadet School and Infantry Training Institute, have been taught how to tell stories. These stories centre on the SAF’s seven core values, such as “care for soldiers”, “leadership” and “professionalism”.

SAF commanders – from third sergeants to majors – learn how to start stories with an emotional point of view, when and how to marry facts and emotions, and how to extract a lesson from the story.

According to Colonel Sukhmohinder Singh, who provides a cryptic quote that seemed to suggest that soldiers remember commands through emotions: “When you try to talk about technical and tactical things, it’s hard to get people going… humans don’t connect to a lot of facts alone, but they connect to the story related to the facts.”

He also adds that story-telling aside, commanders will continue to give naughty boys a spanking dish out generous servings of pushups and menial tasks to enforce discipline.

“We are still a hierarchical organisation that deals with life and death…that (discipline) will be something we never throw out”.

The Centre for Leadership Development started exploring storytelling in 2007 as part of a new way to groom commanders to communicate effectively with their men.

Air force weapons instructor Tan Chwee Leng, 35, said: “I used to always wish that conversations and stories I had with my seniors during coffee breaks and happy-hour sessions would drag on longer.”

The article did not say if these storytelling skills would improve soldiers’ ability to chao geng more convincingly, nor did it mention if the stories would be confined to non-fiction.

Singapore’s total fertility rate this year plunged to an all-time low of 1.01, prompting a new round of internal debate on why Singaporeans are not reproducing. One of the reasons cited by a person close to PM Lee’s inner circle, was the rapid proliferation of CCTVs on the streets, which have led to a loss of dark areas for couples to engage in private acts.

New Nation walked around Clarke Quay one night and found police cameras on major roadways, traffic junctions, carparks, street alleys, and lift landings.

When asked why they were not making out at Fort Canning, a young couple mentioned that they felt uncomfortable with the CCTVs pointing at their favorite spot beneath a large tree.

“Dude, some people might get turned on with exhibitionism, but we’re really not into that,” said Toby Ong, an interior designer.

His girlfriend, Yetta Ng also mentioned a fear of having their private moments leaked out on voyeurism-aggregator STOMP, as a reason why they’ll probably remain celibate until they can afford a place of their own.

Soaring property prices in recent years have postponed the plans of many couples to settle down and have children. Yet the problem lies deeper than that. Couples are simply not fucking enough because there isn’t any place to do it.

However, increased surveillance does have an upside. The Straits Times reported yesterday that despite the perceived invasiveness of more CCTVs, the overall consensus is that electronic surveillance has made residents feel safer and more peaceful.

In a joint study in 2003 by Northeastern University in the United States and Cambridge University in Britain, it was found that both CCTVs and street lights were better at reducing property crime than violent crime.

The study also concluded that cameras deter crimes more effectively than street lights in enclosed areas such as carparks, while in open public spaces, street lights were more effective.
