New Delhi, April 21
Maj-Gen Ng Yat Chung, Chief of Defence Forces, Singapore, arrived in New Delhi yesterday. Leading a four-member delegation, Maj-Gen Chung today held talks with the Chairman of the Chiefs of Staff Committee and other senior defence officials. The two sides discussed cooperation in training, joint exercise and other matters of mutual interest.

On his arrival at South Block, he was received by Admiral Madhevendra Singh, Chairman of the Chiefs of Staff Committee and Chief of Naval Staff. He was presented a ceremonial inter-service guard of honour. He also called on the Chief of Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal S. Krishnaswamy, and the Vice-Chief of Army Staff, Lieut-Gen Shantonu Chowdhury.

A 2004 news. haha

Gorget patches are worn with the Number 1 dress uniform for Army officers above the rank of COL. They are fastened at the collar with the base at the forward edge of the collar and the pointed edge inwards. It can be described
as a coloured collar patch (usually red) with a button and either gold lace oak leaf motif or silk cord.

In the SAF, gorget patches come in the following designs:

Just to clarify :

Aiguillettes are worn on the right shoulder by :

1. ADCs to the President.
2. Hon. ADCs to the President.
3. CDF

They are appointed by the President.

The rest of the people wearing aiguillettes are worn on the left shoulder.

Gordonator SG

no, he was already CDF then. but his rank is still MG. only after around 1 year of his CDF appointment was he promoted to LG. guess he was having problems pasing his IPPT. Laughing

venny SG

Unknown_X SG

venny SG

sir sickolot II SG

even the past CNV Ronnie Tay was a fast runner.

CDF is very fit for a man of his age. That was when he came to my camp to see our PT regime.
