During Jack basic military training in Pulau Tekong in 1997, there were a number of supernatural occurrences, but what seemed most intriguing was that of the bed shaking incident..
There was once when two of Jack platoon mate complained to Sergeant that their bed was shaking, more accurately, someone or something was kicking their beds while they were sleeping at night..
It was a pretty big thing, as their Sergeants actually accompanied them in their bunks when they slept at night, sergeants even enforced that if were to go to the toilet at night, they were supposed to get out buddy to accompany..

The reason why Sergeants joined them in the bunk was that as recruits, they did not have the privilege to posses the SAF Crest, which is usually found on all berets..
The Sergeants on the other hand, had..
The thing about the Crest was that it was told that it has been blessed by the four religions in Singapore..
The poster of the SAF pledge was also ordered to be pasted at the exits of the bunk.
Realizing that the problem was only pushed aside and not solved at the root, the Sergeants realized that this disturbance occurred only after their “Parents Visit Day”..
Remembering also that The Chinese New Year had just passed and Tekong used to be a Muslim island (that’s why pork could never be brought into the bunks), the Sergeants came to the conclusion that some ignorant parents probably brought some pork (maybe BBQ pork), ate in the bunk and possibly dropped some in the bunk..

Thus a proper area cleaning of the bunk was done..
What exactly was the cause of the kicking could not be confirmed, but Jack friends had more peaceful sleep after the area cleaning..

Does that mean that what the Sergeants concluded was right?
Well, the truth is out there for them to find out..
