COL Ishak is now COMD 6 Div

sir sickolot II SG

do you think this is the first Malay BG we will see (or has there been others which i don't know of?)

since Comd 6 Div is a BG held appt by estab, I think COL Ishak will be promoted.

Side note, anyone knows if former Comd 6 Div BG Lim Teck Yin is a Commando? I have rarely seen a commando promoted to BG. urban myth has it that CDOs are not allowed to assume general rank leadership....

alwaysdisturbed SG

was he previously commander bmtc?

BG Lim Teck Yin got his red beret around 1981-82.

BG LIM TY is a commando by vocation but after assuming appointment of CO 42SAR, he has been holding on his black beret ever since..A former national water polo player, he was Commander SCSC and now assumes appointment of Commander TRADOC... COL Ishak was my direct superior during my NS time briefly...A guardsmen by vocation, he was Commander AOAS, Commander BMTC and former G3...and now by assuming appointment of Comd 6Div, he is on track of his star due next year...both have been in SAFTI MI..each commanding officers of advanced schools...

The officer standing behind Minister Teo looks like CDO. The pic not very clear, but his crest is definitely the one wore by BGs and above.

Master -_- SG

maybe he started wearing again..when i saw him in SAFTI, he was still wearing black beret..i think appointment-wise as a Div Comd, he wore back his red beret... like COL Ishak who wore his khaki beret in SAFTI but wore the green beret subsequently in BMTC....BG LIM, i think, on track with BG Tung and BG Chan for the COA spot...

skythewood SG

appointed as div comd. wait to promote BG.

appointed Chief of Army, wait to promote MG

appointed Chief of Defence, wait to promote LG

than go become CEO of GLC company.

that pic is mirrored.

So let me get my facts correct: COL Lim TY already promoted to BG and continues to wear Red now?

i dont think its him

Gedanken SG

Yup, he is - he was my OC buring BMT, and then rotated out to be replaced by Ng Heng Chew.

As for CDOs getting BG rank, Philip Lim's already a BG. He was my company 2 i/c when I RODd, and frankly I thought Lim Teck Yin should have gotten his star first.

sir sickolot II SG

ng heng chew sounds familiar...was he CO SISPEC wasn't he?

in any case I know Phillip Lim (former ACGS) was a commando, but i heard he switched to wearing a black beret when he was in his CO tour. Not sure what colour beret he wears...
