[h=1]Chief of Defence Force Ng Chee Meng will retire after 29 years in SAF[/h][h=2]The 47-year-old, who will be succeeded by Chief of Army Perry Lim, says he "does not rule out" an entry into politics at the upcoming General Election.[/h]

SINGAPORE: Lieutenant-General Ng Chee Meng will retire from the Singapore Armed Forces and step down as Chief of Defence Force on Aug 18, Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen announced on Facebook on Friday (Jul 31).
The move prompted speculation the 47-year-old might be running in the upcoming General Election (GE).
He currently also holds several directorship appointments in public and private organisations, sitting on the boards of Singapore Technologies Engineering, Defence Science and Technology Agency, and Jurong Town Corporation.
LG Ng will be replaced by the current Chief of Army, Major-General Perry Lim. MG Lim was previously 3rd Division Commander and Chief of General Staff. In turn, Chief Guards Officer Brigadier-General Melvyn Ong will be the next Chief of Army.
POLITICS COULD BECKON
Asked about his immediate plans, LG Ng said: "While I do not rule out the option of returning to the Administrative Service or entering politics if the opportunity presents itself, my immediate focus is on handing over my duties to the incoming Chief of Defence Force."
In his Facebook post, the Defence Minister said: "Inevitably, there will be questions asked about LG Ng’s future plans, particularly, if he is entering politics. Given his tested leadership and proven capabilities, I would not at all be surprised if indeed he is.
"But I have advised LG Ng not to be distracted or entertain these queries but to instead focus on important national events ahead, particularly the National Day Parade. There will be a more appropriate time to address interests in his future plans.
"I thank Chee Meng for all the good that he has done for the SAF and wish him every success in his future endeavours. I ask the men and women of the SAF to give their strongest support to the new CDF and COA."
A ROAD WELL-TRAVELLED?
The timing of LG Ng's move - this close to a General Election which observers say could be held as early as September - will prompt speculation that he may follow in the footsteps of other former military men who have moved into politics.
Of the current Cabinet, five men used to hold high-level military appointments. Of the five, four left the SAF immediately prior to elections.
Before them, Minister for Transport Lui Tuck Yew was also a Rear-Admiral in the Navy and Chief of Navy from 1999 to 2003. He left to take up high-level positions as CEO of the Maritime and Port Authority and later the Housing and Development Board before he was elected to Parliament in 2006. In April this year, he took on a concurrent role as Second Minister for Defence.
Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean was a former Rear-Admiral in the Republic of Singapore Navy, and served as Chief of Navy before he quit to successfully contest in the 1992 by-election in Marine Parade.
Thirty-one years ago, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong was then the youngest Brigadier-General in the Army's history before he left in 1984, when he was elected to Parliament at the age of 32.

An SAF scholar, LG Ng joined the SAF as a fighter pilot in Dec 1986, and in Mar 2013 became the second Air Force general to be appointed Singapore's Chief of Defence Force.

LTK should challenge Ng to a fight--real men, no words, just street fighting.

With statements like that, you can expect nothing but bull shit from him. Why still be coy at this stage?
His last day is announced on the very late afternoon of leaving the army?
Even clerks have to give a one-month period of notice.
It was exactly the same kind of idiotic response that No Porn Lui gave when he abruptly resigned as HDB CEO - he said he had no immediate plans for his future.
This may have been the truth literally, but responses like this smacks of smirkness and arrogance, and taking people for fools.
Well, if the likes of Kee Chiu and Boy Scout Tan is any indication, we know what to expect.

If he wins, he outranks his master militarily. Meants he claims more pension that LHL, TCJ and CCS.
What is clearly stated is that he is issued an order and he obey it...to hand over and join PAP in the coming GE..
So as a new political entrant he will have to keep taking orders from higher up.
He is chosen because of his good record for obeying orders...this is the man that PM LHL look for,,,one that he can easily manage and manipulate... I really pity such people who does not lead their own lives but have someone tell them how to live and behave...
before all miliary generals enter politics they should have a stint first as smrt ceo to prove their leadership and
This has obviously been planned long ago.
Why so coy indeed?
Like this how to trust these motherfuckers when they lie over such small things
Myanmar is more democratic than SG now.
they gg to remove the MRT station? or close it down?
you this lau gay bastard always thinking of cocks
In time for erection
