Student can't study when SAF planes make home sound "like a warzone"

STOMPer Stressed, who lives in the Punggol East area, says he struggles to study when military aircraft cause huge amounts of noise taking off and landing from Paya Lebar Airbase.

The STOMPer wrote:

"I am a secondary 4 student living in Punggol East.

"Paya Lebar Airbase is a takeoff and landing zone for planes, but these planes are simply causing too much noise.

"SAF Training Planes, specifically the F15s and F16s, take off from the Airbase more than eight times in a day, in strings of four to eight.

"These planes are very noisy, with noise levels measuring over 140 decibels. Not only does it disrupt my studies, it also could causes damage to people's hearing.

"With such frequent training, I feel more like I am living on Pulau Tekong or some war zone instead.

"The SAF should really reduce the frequency of such training sessions or attempt to quieten the engines of such planes.

"Although it is vital to train pilots to defend our country, it also causes annoyance and harm when taken to excessive levels."

Did the really meant that? That very noisy fighter jet is the one that will guard the entire country airspace should we come under attack. And he even got the guts to suggest to reduce the frequency of such training sessions? This is one spoilt brats.

Cmon la...
Take it as few minutes rest when you heard this 'huge amount of noise'. Don't tell me you study 24/7 unless you're a robot which i think a robot wouldn't mind the noise.

This is nothing. Students from my school suffers this almost every week. Is study so important for just a few minutes? Take it as a break lah! Put on earphones listen to your favourite music for a few minutes then continue with your work after the flight. Simple. Who's gonna protect Singapore? A secondary four student with just studying knowledge?
