There can be only 2 ADCs to the president at any one time... but there is a team of about 18-20 ADCs that rotates and represent the president for events tha...

I think those bodyguards can be put to better use. Just look at them, at least a captain rank, in fact the average bodyguards are all majors!

Glad to know where YOUR tax dollar went to, the SAF Scholarships. Rolling Eyes

The last time i saw the president's bodyguard, he was an air force? or was it Navy Major.

Our SAF "Force Multiplier" thing works! So much so that our spare manpower who would normally be in command positions are now bodyguards

Icemoon SG

How come the bodyguards not from SPF?

Pitot SG

Er.. AFAIK, The bodyguards of all the politicians in singapore are SPF personnel. They are from the Security Command. HQ is at Toa Payoh.

LazerLordz SG

Those you see are the Aide-de-camps.

lwflee SG

Actually, i think the official term is 'Kah Kia'.

Btw, dun see why those people need bodyguards. Not much of a loss imo. Would in fact help to cut costs.

ditzy SG

If you made them walk down orchard road, Fiona Xie would get more response. Laughing

kaobeikaobu SG

the real bodyguards are the Gurkhas...majors are just mainly "decorations". Crying or Very sad

CoolMyth SG

Captains and majors are seen when the top are on TV.

They're not the real thing. Laughing

The real thing's from SPF. Cool

Devil1976 SG

Don't be surprise... Cleaners, fatigue workers and more are of free courtesy from SAF... Laughing

Xcert SG

I tot Gurkhas only guard those important and sensitive installations?

those bodyguards are from SPF...locals...but damn fit lar...

FireIce SG

huh......wat toking u?

most of them are not singaporeans.........

Xcert SG

my understanding is that most...if not all...are singaporeans.

Hidden^OnE SG

Singaporean what...

They are not young too... about 30-40. Plain clothes

sohguanh SG

my understanding is that most...if not all...are singaporeans.

In fact going by logical deduction, it make all perfect sense to engage sporean bodyguards for our gahmen Super VIP Mr. Green

Master -_- SG

bodyguards got no rank la... Rolling Eyes

they are from the secret service Cool

storywolf SG

??? Think you got your facts wrong, those you talking about is Aide-de-camps, they are more like personal assistants - usually i think President & PM have only.

As for personal bodyguard - they are from the police force . So get your fact right first .

Theballstopshere SG

What pot are you smoking? The Aides-de-Camp are local officers. So too are the personal bodyguards. They are from the Police Security Command. The gurkhas guard the residences of SM and PM.

pwnz0r SG

I think FI referring the Gurkhas. They are not Singaporeans and they are not encouraged to mingle with the Singaporean population or granted PR status after.

The main reasoning is to allow for a neutral force with the capability to handle any racial problems. If any racial riots again, wouldn't you think that police would bias towards their respective races?

They are used for highly specialised jobs. Guarding normal ministers are SPF. They are usually used only for guarding sensitive installations. Recently, we saw them deployed for IOC. Damn cool looking, although some of them can pass as asians.

pwnz0r SG

In addition, those SAF uniformed aide-de-camps are only for the President. Other ministers are not allocated any, and have their own private secretaries for their own needs. Security handled by SPF ofc.

If you search web, there are information about these aide-de-camps. Although many of them say it is an honour to serve in such a capacity, I think its damn boring. Aide-de-camps not limited to SAF, I think police or civil defense also have appointments.

FireIce SG

i tok to them before

they are not locals

can't reveal more
