Sam George said the soldiers held onto the seized vehicles for two weeks, an act he compared directly to armed robbery.

He further alleged that when a police chief superintendent attempted to intervene and speak with the lieutenant, Goh disrespected the senior police officer and had his men draw their weapons at him.

Sam George called on the Chief of Defence Staff to dismiss Lieutenant Goh from the armed forces, stating that he had brought the military into disrepute.

The Communications Minister also said he would raise the matter directly with the Minister for Defence.

The minister issued a firm warning that any soldier who returned to Ningo-Prampram to brutalise residents would face consequences, saying they would have breached their oath.
