yeah.....to show the indonesian people that we are there to aid them in times of peril......and i wonder if our own country ever gets into their situation .....would anyone help us that much.......Originally posted by mystiv:like propaganda
back to the topic.......then again it serves many many purposes........besides recognition to the republic of singapore.....it serves to unite ties between indo and singa..................
it also promotes singa to the indos and hopefully more investors would come to singa to work...........and perhaps many others that i haven't tot of..... -
It's a Aide-de Camp lanyard but he is wearing it because he is a Attache not a ADC.
Anyway, SAF always wayang one.. on newspaper you read one thing.. actual thing you read another.
During the Tsunami time, about 70% of the ppl sent there want to go home after few days. Up to the point where they organized a "first wave" return on the 2nd week.
But you read on newspaper and the OFE Book, they always talk about morale very high, keeping each other's spirits high, etc etc.
Talk about Aceh, SAF only sent troops when there was no trouble. When there is trouble now. where is SAF?
Even when in Aceh, they were not in the hotspots also. -
What reason those 70 % personnel gave when they wanted to go back to Spore after days in Aceh?Originally posted by Ponders:It's a Aide-de Camp lanyard but he is wearing it because he is a Attache not a ADC.

Most of them cannot take it.Originally posted by will4:What reason those 70 % personnel gave when they wanted to go back to Spore after days in Aceh?
You have to understand.. they are mostly "spare" Storemen or storemen currently not essential to their units.
Most of them were enjoying the "power" weekends (Xmas followed by New Year) and they got only less than 72 huors notice to leave.
Go there.. first things they do is carry 50kg rice sacks, etc etc.
Just imagine being in that situation.
