RADM(Ret) Teo Chee Hian
-
I heard that he is one of the ex Chief of Navy but how come he is only 1 star?
-
Chief of navy must be 2 star meh?
But you should know Navy RADM got 2 grades right?
RADM (1star), RADM (2star) -
btw, u have misspelled the name. it's Teo Chee Hean.
He assumed command of the Republic of Singapore Navy as Chief of Navy in 1991 and was promoted to the rank of Rear Admiral in July 1991. On 7 December 1992, he left the SAF to go into politics.
so as u can see. within 1 year, it is impossible to be promoted to the next rank. high profile promotion usually will take at least 3 years. -
In the 1970s, there was only ONE one star general
In the 1980s. there was only a few one star and two stars general
In the 1990s, there was a bunch of one star generals and couple of two stars general and one three star.
In the 2000s, lost count of one star generals, a few of two stars and still ONE three star. -

if i'm not mistaken, last time Mr Teo was a Commodore, a one star navy general before being promoted to rear admiral, a two star navy general.
Now i think they change the Commodore rank to one star rear admiral (lower half) and the two star rear admiral (upper half).
the highest rank we have now for the navy is the 3 star vice-admiral.
