Oh dear, seems like you're accusing others when you're just
ill-informed. Rather than drag on & play the typical "who
shouts loudest" game (or "seniority" for that matter - if so, you
should've otherwise figured out my past handles here),
I'll call you out: post the names of the kakis you mentioned. Best
PM me your own too, so I can reference you when checking up on
their background.
Go on, your turn to back up your claims. lol
I read somewhere that Lim Swee Say was switched to
NTUC when he was a MAJ? In my tim, we used to joke he was
one of the "flops" of the scholarship scheme, unlike Lee Hsien
Loong, George Yeo, Lim Hng Kiang & Teo Chee Hean who stayed on
much longer (& climbed higher), & also cuz he's
since like to keep "long" hair (half covering the ears).
It seems that you are the who was unfortunately snuffed out when
the LIST you turned up was overthrown by me when I proved that 75%
of the everyone in the list were scholars. When I challenged you to
disprove facts and figures I have thrown out, this is your meek
response? Gawd can you come up with something less obvious to get
off the stage with your face intact?
U also conveniently chose to "not see" like an ostrich that the
poster you thought was endorsing your view said I was accurate on 2
counts.
FACT: You produced a list to prove your claim.
FACT: I found out that majority of the people of your list are
scholars anyway!
FACT: You ended up with your tail between your legs and this is
your response to get off? "Rather than drag on & play the
typical "who shouts loudest" game (or "seniority" for that matter
-" (HUH???) Is this your meek response upon my discovery to save
face? Why don't you produce your brother's name right here and now
since you are claiming that he is a "big shot". Come, pls produce
your bro's name whom you think is 'big shot' so I can do a
"reference check". I know his name will turn out nothing on the
net, just like all the 'kakis' you're asking me to turn out,
because they're all nobodies. Gettit?
Are you saying that scholars who are spotted by the
administrative service and removed from SAF are underperformers
compared to scholars who stayed all the way (eg service chiefs?) Is
that your allegation?
And your remarks on Lim Swee Say confirms your ignorance of how
the Admin Service and Civil Service work. I am not surprised, since
your closest link to the government is your brother who's far
removed from this.
Do you know who Peter Ho is? He's the Head of Civil Service (yes
this is actually the name of the post, HCS is the one ALL the perm
secs report to). Do you know how long he has been in the civil
service and when he was taken out of the SAF? He returned to
service in 1976 at 23 yrs old at the age all scholars do, and
became a Deputy Secretary in 1990. 14 yrs later. He was removed
from SAF to become a DS at 37 yrs old.
Please read

pls also google Willie Tan Yoke Meng, also DS of Defence,
another SAFOS who transited to civil service way before 45 cos
Admin Service grabbed.
Do you know how many scholars left SAF way before retirement age
to hold a higher in civilian equivalent post in stat boards and
ministries? Do you know how much higher a PS and DS's rank are over
the service chiefs and CDF? Do you know that the PS and DS are the
boss of a ministry, and the SAF comes under Mindef (a ministry)?
You calling them the lesser performers than the ones who left at a
later time or taken to Admin Service at a later time? Do you have
any idea the elite of the Admin Service, and how that correlates
with SAF hierarchy wise?!!! All the top officers, real big shots,
not cheong "big shots" like 40 yr old LTCs, are in the AS. The CDF
and all the service chiefs and scholars at MAJ level who passed the
interview are in the AS.
I wonder what PSD has to say when it learns that you believe
your LSA/LTC brother's a "big shot" and said that scholars
extracted out of SAF in their 30s to become PS and Head of CS are
"underperformers". They will laugh till they have stomachache like
me now! HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!
I tell you what, if he becomes like Peter Ho or Bernard Tan Kok
Kiang or Wong Ann Chai, everyone will agree with U that he's a "big
shot". There will be no contention. No one dares argue when someone
says Peter Ho, Wong Ann Chai and Bernard Tan are big shot. Everyone
diam diam.
His "big shot" status is only believed under delusion by one
person - you. Hell, i bet even he doesn't have the gall to think
so, being in the SAF himself
