Dear SDP,
A guy who is NSF (National Service Full-time) was sent to DB (Detention Barracks) just for blogging NS stuff including a list of NS deaths yearly. (Refer to link:

Some of them were sent to DB for “disobedience” as MINDEF suppressed their freedom in blogging, tweeting, or posting in the facebook related to NS news.
I hope you can raise awareness of this issue to the public. Such news has been publicised to the netizens. (Refer to link:
