LazerLordz SG UNSMA (UN Special Mission to Afghanistan) This is Singapore's first peacemaking mission. From May 97 to May 98, LTC Lo Yong Poo assumed the appointment of Military Advisor to the UN Special Mission in Afghanistan (UNSMA) which was set up to facilitate the national reconciliation and reconstruction in Afghanistan. http://www.mindef.gov.sg/peacekeepers/afghanistan.htm More can be found on MINDEF's Peacekeeping Website http://www.mindef.gov.sg/peacekeepers/index.htm
Ponders SG And it is this posting that LTC Lo Yong Poo got the Distinguished Act Medal. The highest medal ever awarded (there is one higher but no one has been awarded that yet). There are 3 other people who has this medal, 2 of them are New Zealanders.
tt3 SG dunno whether e officers gt don anythn anot… eg: carry boxes,etc.. or they juz go there cultural xchange…
Ponders SG That's humanitaranian missions. not Peacekeeping. Lo Yong Poo evacuated Kabul when Kabul was under attack. He did it Rambo style. heehee.
Ponders SG For what man.. Singapore so harmless, what can Lo yong poo have implemented that made Taliban hate him? why? he implemented compulsory 21km run in Kabul ah?
Ponders SG No man. Before he retired he bought himself a Toyota Camry. I am not surprised if he is currently working on consultant basis to SAF. Or work for Glen Marine. Or do weapons trading.
