He was my CO back in 1 SIR. He is a really good man. I will never forget what he did for me... please excuse my grammar.
There was once, I broke an equipment during guard duty. The guardhouse ordered me to pay $200 for the equipment to spare being charged by the guardhouse. However I was in NS and didn’t had the money.
I spoke to my PC, CSM and OC for help, but all viciously rejected me. I had no choice but to skip the chain of command and went to the CO’s (Desmond Tan) office.
RSM was in the office with the CO when I entered. RSM was angry at me for skipping the chain of command and refused to let me speak to the CO, but the CO said it’s fine.
Shortly after I started explaining, the other officers from my company arrived with furious looks on their faces. They must have heard the news that I directly went to see the CO.
Finally after telling the CO about my situation. In front of the RSM and the all the other junior officers, he firmly said he can’t help me; I broke the equipment and I should be responsible for it. Pay $200 for it, otherwise let the guardhouse charge me.
I felt disappointed and I left shortly. But What happened later really touched me...
Alone, I was walking back to the guardhouse. It was a good 15mins walking distance from the HQ building to the guardhouse
Just when I was about to reach the guardhouse, I heard someone repeatedly calling out my name, I turned around and saw a car driving towards me. It was my CO!
With the windows winded down, the car stopped beside me. He shoved something to my chest and I took it. Then he drove off immediately.
Puzzled, I looked closely at what he gave me.... $150 cash! I was so moved that I was in tears.
What I’m saying is totally true. With this incident in mind, I know that he is a very kind hearted man. I never had the chance to thank him. So Thank You Sir! I wish you all the best in the elections.
