  Insider Info, everyone, before the parade, they will decide on someone to be "questioned" by the President, best unit, army, air force, navy, police etc. Even the reply is taught to the person involved.
  
  Unfortunately, the President missed the cue once and forgot to stop in front of the designated personnel, resulting in him just kept walking past the contingent and making everyone in the contingent surprised.

  Every year, at the National Day Parade, the President will walk one round. When he walks past the officers, he will talk to one of them and the officers will answer something. Then he will move on, walk a few steps and talk to another officers.
  
  I always wonder what they actually say.
  
  What do they usually say ah?

  LOL! u don't know how to differentiate between officers, specialists and men right?
  
  officers are those holding the colours, doubt the president will be talking to them. during the parade inspection, the president together with the parade commander and CDF will walk past the guard of honour comprised of specialists and men from the Army (commando), Navy (naval divers), Air Force (Combined FDS) and the police force. they are the soldiers the president will be talking to.

  i also noticed one thing. the 3 guys from SAF which the president talked to seem to be staring right ahead (above the president head as they are taller than the president). Only the lady from the SPF look at the president. Sincerity? Are the 3 guys nervous? Or issit out of respect?
