Adrianli Hypersonic February 12, 2016 Share February 12, 2016 Last time when SBC made this Navy TV drama series .. I think RSN only got missile gun boats ? That time MGB was the newest boat when SBC made that drama series. During that time the CPC and PC were still in active service and saw lots of action. Now, MGB already kena scrapped, no more in existence. Few more years, I think my Missile Covette era will be scrapped too. They still trying to it going but COE renew twice liao, sooner or later sure gone too. Our frigate also one COE expire liao. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happily1986 5th Gear February 13, 2016 Share February 13, 2016 good bye good old land rover... thanks for all the good and bad memories http://multimedia.asiaone.com/multimedia/gallery/end-legacy-production-land-rover-defender-stops Still prefer the landrover for radio set mounting over the OUV. FFR! I think the younger chaps would not have heard of CPC from RSN before. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swift-class_coastal_patrol_craft Heard before lah. I thought they were eventually transferred to the PCG? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidklt 6th Gear February 13, 2016 Share February 13, 2016 (edited) CPC is a lot smaller and more compact than the PC shown here. On another note, I amd surprised the PV has a relatively short life span as RSN tend to max out the lifespan of their ships to 30 yrs and beyond. I think the younger chaps would not have heard of CPC from RSN before. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swift-class_coastal_patrol_craft Edited February 13, 2016 by Davidtkl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrianli Hypersonic February 13, 2016 Share February 13, 2016 Heard before lah. I thought they were eventually transferred to the PCG? Yes. I had the opportunity to attend to the CPC when the navy handled them over to PCG and PCG sent all the CPC to drydock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was another case where an M16 was used in a kidnap case, saw it on Mata Mata 3. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_major_crimes_in_Singapore 30 June and 23 July 1983: Sek Kim Wah, a 19-year-old conscript, broke into the home of businessman Robert Tay Bak Hong at Andrew Road on 23 July with the aid of an accomplice, 19-year-old Malaysian Nyu Kok Meng. Sek killed Tay, his wife and their Filipino maid. Nyu released the Tays' daughter and her tutor. Sek also killed two persons at Seletar Reservoir earlier on 30 June. Sek was found guilty of murder and hanged on 9 December 1988 while Nyu was sentenced to life imprisonment and caning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still remember there was one driver reversed his MB290 at a civilian carpark inside an army camp, didn't see properly and hit onto a car parked behind. The front part of the car was badly dented and headlight all crushed, but the MB290 didn't see much scratch! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
