can use updated pic and not old pic or not...knn...uniform change already la....the design like shit now..
do you think they are tough soldiers? are they battle hardened enough?
i got it from state times, maybe you can let them know...
i actually prefer the old design, than the new ones...
The last battle-hardened Singapore troops were led by Mj-Gen. Lim Bo Seng who died in 1944 after capture by the Japanese Kempeitai. He was actually Bg-Gen at death, but ROC conferred him Mj-Gen rank posthumously to honour him. Lord Mountbatten's troops that returned in 1945 after Japanese surrender were also battle-hardened, but they were mostly British, Australian, NZ and Indian, not Singaporean.
Lim Bo Seng never even led a platoon to battle. He was never in battle. He was operating behind enemy lines but unfortunately was caught on his first intelligence seeking foray.
Thats the reason why there is no book dedicated to what he had done as it will be a short chapter. The best this govt has done is make a book using cartoons to get some thickness. There is no denying that he was fully dedicated to the cause but was never in a position to do more.
Lt Adnan led his platoon at Pasir Panjang Ridge which culminated in a fierce battle. Haven't seen a cenotaph for him.

I think I'd express this better in Chinese:
为将者，运筹帷幄。三军未出先被擒，长使英雄泪满襟。
Anyway, much much more admirable than to queue up at Kempeitai HR office looking for a job.
Lim Bo Seng was remembered because of his villa and his wealth .
They want to pin hopes on a boy-scout with enough exposure which is unfortunate for him .
People living in those tumultuous times are better off left unseen and unheard .
No one remembers a John Doe .

No, they're war victims. Then, there're fighters, supporters, dissenters, neutrals, appeasers and collaborators etc. Many categories. Don't try to put generalised word into my mouth. Teflon, remember?
Hahahaha! The Japanese had taught me and my prataman well in Chinese and Japanese languages.
And with the help of my prataman, we managed to catch him and passed him over to the Japs.
I am so proud of my achievement. But I cannot put that in my new book 'Men In White'.
I'll put that achievement in my new book to come called 'Evil In White'.
The word "admirable" did not come from me. So you admire victims, etc. Actually I would consider them as war heros if they did not work with or for the Japs.
