at the Peak of his SAF career a Road Accident broke this man both physical and mentally. After the Accident he was sent to do " gardening " until he left the service.
cannot remember the exact nature of the Road Accident. And cannot confirm whether his son Conrad was with him at the time of the Accident.
i guessed , thats why he dumped his LTC title once and for all never to associate with SAF again.
he went on to the signals formation (under chief of hq comms and electronics then - chew bak khoon) and was co of 3rd sigs bn and a major then, and very on! his unit won best signal unit numerous times - a credit to him and well-deserved - and a true offr and gentleman, if I may add.
he was later posted as def attache overseas.
LTC and COL are a dime in a dozen amongst the officer corps...it does not carry as much weight as BG,,,,and for such a small army,,,how many Flag officers does singkieland have?
hanor, but let's put this in perspective as those days in the early 70's, to be a major was not something to be scoffed at - even the then bde comdr of hq 3 sib was only a ltc (hashim al-joffery or even kesavan soon for that matter) as opposed to what we have now, especially at the semb country club - where they're a dime a fricking dozen.
if you know / knew him, he's an affable bloke and also a stand-up and be counted guy. he's come a long way from personal hardships - whatever political affiliation notwithstanding
