A local father has filed a complaint after discovering his precious son was forced to perform manual labour.

He was reportedly "triggered" by the sight of his child holding a broom, a tool usually reserved for those with work permits.

"Wah lau, I pay money for what? My son hands soft one, later get blister you know!" the father fumed while his helper tied his shoelaces.

Experts predict the boy will survive four minutes in Pulau Tekong before his father demands SAF provide a personal butler for outfield.

"Wait till he go NS lah," one witness cackled.

"He sure ask why no maid to carry his SAR-21."
