President Tony arranged husband and wife to work together at Istana

[RonRon]

Married couple Chee Hongyi and Foo Jit Choon, both 29, have many things in common: Both studied at Anglican High School, and both chose careers in uniform - he in the army, she in the police force.

From next month, the couple will also share the same job: honorary aide-de-camp (ADC) to the President.

The first married couple to hold that post, Captain Chee and Assistant Superintendent Foo are among the 103 officers who have been appointed to serve one-year terms as honorary ADCs.

Together with three full- time ADCs, they received their appointment certificates from President Tony Tan Keng Yam at the Istana on Thursday.

This is nothing compared to 12 year deferment and NS scientist vocation.

Tony will be parting his most valuable skill in sexual intercourse for life longevity and need them as live demonstrator to keep him and his wife active.

This is what our scholars are good at.
Wasting of scholarship money and talent, if they have any.
How much are they contributing to the state economically other than to collect tax payers money again holding such soft appointments.

It's a total waste of taxpayers' money and yet people spin it as publicity.

wouldn't that be a compromise of security & conflict of interest?
if there is a danger to the president, will the guy protect the president or the wife?

How come the male hon aide-de-camp's uniform so crushy especially his sleeves?

Seems like an ill-fitted suit. An insult to the uniform.

Chee Hongyi

Couldn't help laughing when reading the full name.

 

[Unrepented]

Who ask you not born being the one and only, most brillant, cream of the crop, brainiest of the brainiest, in the history of all NS service.

As usual sinkies only like to complain and sour grapes.

This is nothing compared to 12 year deferment and NS scientist vocation.

You scratch my back, I scratch your back lah. Only dumb sinkies would believe that Singapore is a corruption-free meritocracy.
