Chan: “When I was the commanding officer of 2nd battalion Singapore Infantry Regiment, my runner (signaller), he’s an illegal VCD seller. So do you pigeonhole him?
He’s extremely loyal to the mission and the unit. He told me, ‘Sir, can you tell me when is the battalion proficiency test?’ I said this and this – these are the dates.
He said, ‘Ok Sir, I need to tell you I’m going to surrender to the Police, and I’m going to Changi (Prison). But I promise you I will come back in time for the battalion proficiency test to chiong with you. But Sir, after that can you allow me to surrender again for my next offence?
I grew up on the left hand of the bell curve. I have a lot of experiences with such brothers. I learnt the word ‘brothers’ way before I joined the labour movement, My soldiers were the ones who told me, ‘Sir, don’t worry. Anywhere you go in Singapore, our brothers will take care of you.'”
Moderator: ‘Are you still friends with them?’
Chan: “They are still my brothers.
