As long as he doesn't carry PAP balls, any type of job the retired colonel do will deserve my respect for him, even if he has to become a taxi driver. Anyone agree with me Kee Chiu! Kee Chiu!

Not second batch, but third batch of SAFOS.

You may be correct that LHK was a COL.

I know of one SAFOS, who purposely not do well, and remained a CPT until he ORD (when he completed his bond), because he did not want to have a big opportunity cost of switching back to civilian life. He may be the only SAFOS, who ORD as a CPT, after 7 years.

Thanks bro for the info.

Where are all those ex-PS etc? Could not find anything on Chew Leng Hock, Tham Kui Seng or Lee Hon Sun. Only a notice posted by MAS against a Lee Hon Sun for fraud, not sure if it is the same guy.

Ok. Since lhl was 1971 first batch I guess they from 1973 should be 3rd batch.
Always confused with LHY as 3rd batch as he was 3 SMC.

Thank you, brother.
There is very little about his SAF career.

I remember CLH's face from those days, but have no info about his SAF career.

Tham Kui Seng left the SAF as LTC or COL, at the end of his bond, then was COO or CEO of one of the Capital Land subsidiaries. Now retired.
Supposed to meet him and a few schoolmates at some coffee shop in the East part of SG, but I got lost.

I cannot recall where LHS is working, although I met him last year.

Info for LHY is correct.
He was in the Scholars Platoon in Charlie Company (way at the end at the old SAFTI)

Yes, I confer too. When I entered OCS (4 SMC) Alpha Coy, Lee Hsien Yang was an Underofficer then in his Senior Term, and he was in-charge of overseeing us cadets in the Junior Term at Alpha Coy. He instructions were very clear to the other Senior Term cadets, that they were to guide and help us but not to harass us. I must add that Lee Hsien Yang was very kind to us Junior Cadets in that he did not condone unnecessary harassment or punishment to us. Was very impressed by his attitude and leadership.

Heard from my uncle who was in same batch that LHY was a nice guy and liked to go out and "chiong" with the other boys. Daddy didn't approve this peceived peasant like behaviour and hence older Bro got all the favoritism

LHY seems to be a humble chap. He was for the longest time using his old tiny honda hatchback to drive to work in MINDEF.

Yes he was OC in 40SAR and later CO 46SAR....everyone likes him as he was super welfare. Even the canteen food was superb. Total no airs and extremely friendly unlike his brother.
Later years always see him in holland jelita collecting his laundry or going to tailors. Always make an effort to say hello to those who know him.

Dear Both, I heard the same thing about LHY...he seems to be really very different from the rest of the Lees..He is humble and shows humility,,also he flirts and heard he steal eat that why divorce his 1st wife (I think hor). Unlike his father and bro who are no different from Eunuchs. Maybe he would make a better PM but its highly unlikely he will go into politics. I think he will try his best to 'leave'. Like go other countries and keep low profile. Maybe that why he is not into politics. Bcos he dont want to be in it.

Agree, very humble.

This guy loves to go to supermarket wherever he is. When he was staying in Cairnhill, always carrying groceries. When he was staying in Perth on weekends in his other home also in supermarket from what I hear. Must be so kind of relief. The brother on the other hand will be found in computer store in Funan.

Father used to wallop the youngest fellow. Even after he became an adult father used to lose his temper. Merchinta, yellow Ferrari, roving eyes, heat seeking dick etc.
