RadX Moderator July 30, 2011 Share July 30, 2011 Looks like it is quite a big hoo haa with the NS thingy and the FTs for education. Both issues took up quite a bit of space in teh press. Wonder what/where TT gonna speak to put the NS thingy at rest. Well, looks like more worms coming out of closet. At this rate, no more Mr Brylcream man, he gonna change to carnauba wax for his head ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pisces69 6th Gear July 30, 2011 Share July 30, 2011 for the record, I actually liked TT, but the recent news reports really has me thinking again...first the FT, now this.... Ya looks like TT is losing even b4 he begins. I kinda prefer that Tan CB guy. He like a dark horse. Coming from behind to take the lead. The more I read, the more he looks like the best man for the job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulcann 6th Gear July 30, 2011 Share July 30, 2011 Hey. Do u all buy his explanation on today straits times? Actually the article throws up another question: How many NSF actually serve in civilian organisations THEN, specifically similar in that role his son served? My understanding is NSF MOs or DOs have be attached to Med Ctrs during their service. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scion Turbocharged July 30, 2011 Share July 30, 2011 (edited) i want to stir more sh1t [sly] foreign-born commando during NS vs local-born Defense Medical Scientist during NS Edited July 30, 2011 by Scion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryh 3rd Gear July 30, 2011 Share July 30, 2011 The explanation does sound reasonable. If he has specific research expertise, why waste it on doing generic MO work when he can contribute better in other areas? Or are we going to insist that he sits in a medical centre and treat cuts/bruises/fever etc. Hey. Do u all buy his explanation on today straits times?

Donut Supercharged July 30, 2011 Share July 30, 2011 Oh pls bro..... See his background, he's obviously a pap puppet. He's even the SPH chairman. If he becomes president, we are double doom. We will be like north Korea, except that we looked more well fed than the north Koreans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff49er Clutched July 30, 2011 Share July 30, 2011 If I were a golden white horse and have blain, royal connection n gah men scholarship I too will try to siam NS. But I am just a commoner. In this case where there is smoke there is fire. Hey Tony just admit it. U may gain more respect ahhahaha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poper 2nd Gear July 30, 2011 Share July 30, 2011 (edited) Wake up! Stop being DAFT, my fellow home-grown Singaporeans.. 1. TT and LKY are relatives 2. As chairman of SPH, TT is an extension of pappies to control our MSM (just like Nathan) 3. As ex-senior mgmt of GIC, don't expect TT to dig his own can of worms. 4. TT did not surface until GY dropped his particiation in Presidential Election. Obviously, he is motivated by pappies to fight the others 5. He is still active in pappies CEC until he stepped up for the election 6. He endorsed defamation practices by pappies against TLH, remember? 7. Pro-foreigner policies blah blah... I will take TKL, TCB, TJS anytime.. Edited July 30, 2011 by Poper Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcann 6th Gear July 30, 2011 Share July 30, 2011 The explanation does sound reasonable. If he has specific research expertise, why waste it on doing generic MO work when he can contribute better in other areas? Or are we going to insist that he sits in a medical centre and treat cuts/bruises/fever etc. If there are other folks serving in the same capacity then MINDEF can just list them & show that everything is above board, that no one is getting preferential treatment, if any. In this case more so bec his father is going to run for the highest office on this land & we as voters must be appraised of every candidates' integrity & honesty.

Vulcann 6th Gear July 30, 2011 Share July 30, 2011 (edited) BTW, back then we in the service were already aware of the White Horse status of some recruits before Cedric Foo mentioned about it in parliament, which by then had created a big uproar. We old timers had a big laugh over couple of beers when Mr Foo was being pressed in parliament if these WHs were treated differently....

Fondue Neutral Newbie July 30, 2011 Share July 30, 2011 My clerk also defer to study in USA and came back with Master in Computer Science back in the late 80's. At that time, Com Sc is still pretty new in SG. I don't see him being offered a place in some relevent Gov research institution or War Game centre. Like the rest of the the cohort, he stays in, does his duty clerk duties and type daily routine orders. But that aside, during BMT, I can attest that Master Tan DID NOT get special treatment The explanation does sound reasonable. If he has specific research expertise, why waste it on doing generic MO work when he can contribute better in other areas?

Or are we going to insist that he sits in a medical centre and treat cuts/bruises/fever etc. The problem is that the same applies to *many* people (both in Medical and non-Medical fields) who don't get preferential treatment.
