Did any Parade Commander cock up durin NDP?
-
got any cases?
-
of course, the 2000 NDP loh, give the wrong command
-
I only know of one case in 2000, but not the details. I only remember the commander is some major Hamzah. Rumour has it that he kena demoted or passed over for promotion one grade.

less one round, fire
by one & only minority race Parade commander.
GOH march pass with one round inside their M 16. on actual day -
yup, tat was like 2 or 3 yrs back NDP... the Parade Commander, after the contingent fired only 2 rounds, commanded them to put rifle down...many of the Guard-of-Honour were blurred... some put down, some still rifle in the air... then slowly put down...Originally posted by zaxis:less one round, fire

Grave mistake...

A nation's pride at stake...as it was broadcast on webcasting to the World too...though dunno how many will wanna watch???Originally posted by mach10:Grave mistake... -
President Nathan should not have allowed the parade to march pass. Its an insult for not receiving the "full dejiwa". He should say to the commander, u still owe me a shoot!!!
-
they reserve the "shoot" for later mah *wink wink*Originally posted by Airforceone:President Nathan should not have allowed the parade to march pass. Its an insult for not receiving the "full dejiwa". He should say to the commander, u still owe me a shoot!!! -
whatever u do, whatever mistake u make, always remember, never ever shout "Sa Nu La" in a parade this big.
-
the parade commander did not even know he did wrong then, cos he was facing the President and watever happens behind is not within his knowledge thenOriginally posted by Gordonator:whatever u do, whatever mistake u make, always remember, never ever shout "Sa Nu La" in a parade this big. -

Maybe he was jus nervous.
-
It was during NDP 2000. The story I heard was that the planes were inbound and they had to cut short the Feiu-De-Joie. Being a parades enthusiast, I don't quite agree with it, but whether its true or not I don't know.

The NDP2000 one was indeed grave sia.
I noticed it on TV
I think the RO should have said no lor....
Everything seems so orchestrated sia -
one common SAF military lingo immediately comes to mind, "too shag cannot think ah?"Originally posted by iveco:Maybe he was jus nervous. -
nathan first year as president izzit?not familiar..should tell that commander to wake up his idea..
-
lol, it was so long ago le, give that guy a break lah..........
anyway NDP "casualty" still standard 8 extra? -
The major (now LTC) then was my ex Bde S3, I believe he was the only Malay S3 (back in mid 90's) in a combat outfit. He's a nice chap felt sorry for him, think he was too nervious.
-

tot he had advantage of speaking native tongue .. well .. -
