People Who Have Been Through NS Spotted Something Very Wrong With This Image By The Singapore Army

Still doesn’t prove anything though. I mean; I went and scoured the comments section and it seems that some Netizens are in disbelief as well.

Nevertheless, no denying their effort and commitment to the training.

“Wayang? What’s wayang?”

It’s basically presenting your best front in a bid to impress the audience. For reference, watch Aloysius Jin Xia Lan in the Ah Boys To Men franchise.

“Oh… but it seems that there are believers too though.”

“If they were really wearing masks throughout the whole ordeal, it must have been really tough.”

Look, there are two scenarios here. The first is that they did wear masks, but switched to new ones for the sake of the camera.

“And the second?”

They didn’t and wore the masks only for the camera.

“What about the third? They wore face masks, and those are the ones you see in the camera.”

Nigh impossible. 

“Well, I guess we’ll never know. What do you think of camo face masks though?”

Well, that will make things easier for trainees in the near future. But as the Netizen mentioned, it really depends on whether masks are indeed a long-term necessity.

“True. But hey, isn’t the point of training to make things more realistic? Wouldn’t blue face masks be too obvious?”

I’m sure they have their reasons. Such as this one:

And I concur with the reason:

Training should be tough, but not overly difficult.

In this sense, surgical masks would certainly suffice, despite their lack of a ‘realistic’ factor.

“Fair enough.”

Hey, you know what? Let’s just ask our viewers what they think of this whole episode. Are the masks in the photo new ones or old ones?

“Sure, wanna bet?”

You’re on.

“Loser has to do 100 push-ups a day.”

What about the winner?

“Gets to watch Steven Lim’s six-pack videos.”

Deal.
