  i knows that there are two types of ranger badges. one of them is yellow in colour while the other one is red.
  
  can anyone tell me what is the different between them as in which is the US ranger and which is the Singapore one?
  
  and also which one is more siong?
  
  sorry, i don't have the pictures.

  Red is Singapore, yellow is US.
  
  The Singapore Ranger course can be argued to be more siong - by all accounts, the US Ranger course focuses more on learning combat skills and techniques than on surviving 60 days of almost nonstop hammering.

  agreed. Local US rangers say that teh US coz is also siong as the combat weight they carry is designed for Western built and thus it has its siong-ness also ..
  
  honestly dunno which one more werse, but i do know alomost all always lead the way ...

  another few more question, why some of them wore the ranger on the right of their sleeve?
  especially those singapore ranger tab. i saw them have it on the right. shouldn't it be on the left?
  
  2nd, is it possible to have have both US and Singapore Ranger tab?
  
  i never seen them before so it is just curious.

  they cannot wear 2 ranger tab. if u are a local ranger and been through the US ranger course, u can only wear one yellow ranger tab on your right, u cannot wear the local red ranger tab on your left, cos if u are a US ranger, surely u are also a local ranger right? no need to show off both.

  agreed. Usually people will display us ranger if they have 2 which is very unlikely since saf has alot of people waiting for ranger coz no 1 person will get 2 coz.
  but bottomline if u have 2 ranger tabs which one u wanna put is up to u ... this is what one of the Wo told me .. how true i also dunno

  does that mean that a person with a yellow ranger tab has gone through the local ranger course?

  logically speaking yes. there aren't many US rangers in the SAF anyway.
