PEKAN: The National Service Department has made changes to its physical training module after several mishaps during training, including an incident where trainees got lost while trekking in the jungle.
> No more jungle trekking;
> Survival training or day navigation to be conducted under supervision in less dense areas;
> Marching drills or water-related activities to be held before 9.30am or after 3.30pm;
> Unarmed combat practice to be conducted in shaded area if weather is too hot;
> Female trainees can choose not to take part in certain obstacle-course activities; and
> Weaker trainees to be given lighter exercises.
