The incident on the night of May 10, 2012 during a training exercise in Marsiling resulted in the death of an NSF and injuries to two others. The three were in a jeep driven by then NSF Cavin Tan, who had been sentenced to a 10-day short detention order, which is intended to be less disruptive and stigmatising than jail.

Mr Tan's superior, Lee Kong Kean, 33, then a senior specialist instructor, had admitted to the two charges.

A day after the incident, he told a group of instructors, including Mr Tan, of his intention to lie to investigators that Mr Tan had stolen the jeep involved in the accident, which resulted in the death of NSF Tan Mou Sheng, 20.
