NS - Target Zero Death

In his effort to keep the gravy train of NS running, DPM has come up with an ingenious statement hoping to placate us to continue sending our kids to NS. HERE

"I try to emphasise zero defects for this programme and also fatalities. Although there were one or two incidents, these should not hinder the overall success of the NS programme," he told reporters after a closed-door meeting with the camp commandants today.

How can there be one or two incidents when there are 16 wasteful deaths??

Zero deaths??? I guess, Mr. DPM, you should clearly SPELL OUT the government responsibilities and liabilities should another death occur!
