Yes, Former Chief Commando Officer and then CIO. This guy is arrowed for future politics and GLC. U just watch. Sometimes, they are shipped out to Sports Council on retirement and retain a Col rank. But this guy was promoted to BG before he got shipped out. SO, I think they have bigger things for him. Behind him looks like Col Chua Boon Keat in the Armour Black Berret.
It appears that CHW may have been talent spotted for bigger and higher office.
At Linked In, it appears that CHW has a Ph.D.
I believe that he has a brother who was also a Colonel commando officer.
That other colonel in the photo, does not appear to be Colonel CBK.
