A face that only a mother could love

Captain Song is lucky that his mom didn't disown him at birth.

Straits Times used to have this employee by the name of koh buck song who liked to blow his own trumpet about being an SAF officer. In his articles he'll often try to rub in the fact that he's an officer.

One time he wrote that whenever a batch of officer cadets graduate from OCS, "a whole nation rejoices"

Wow.

Clearly delulu and living in his own little world where he's part of the intelligentsia.

Was his wife Jacintha Abisheganaden?

SINGAPORE – A former captain in the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) was charged in court on Nov 10 over allegedly cheating 16 people into giving him $145,250.

Benjamin Song Yong Pang, 37, purportedly made them believe that the money was used either for investments or to pay his mother’s medical bills.

Song was handed 18 cheating charges, of which 13 were amalgamated charges, where multiple alleged incidents are taken together in a single offence.

Charge sheets stated that the alleged offences took place over almost three years between May 2021 and March 2024.

The Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau said in a statement on Nov 10 that Song had used the money to service his debts and expenses.

Song appeared in court with an elderly couple and said he would be getting legal advice for his case. He is currently out on bail of $100,000. His case will be heard again on Dec 8.

If convicted, Song faces up to 10 years’ jail and a fine for each charge of cheating. For the amalgamated charges, he can face twice the amount of punishment liable for that offence.

A Mindef spokesperson told The Straits Times that Song was suspended from his duties following his arrest and is no longer a regular serviceman with the SAF.

Mindef did not mention which branch of SAF Song was from, or when his employment ended.

The spokesperson said SAF holds its service personnel to high standards of discipline and integrity, adding: “We do not tolerate any form of cheating in the SAF. Service personnel who commit offences will be dealt with in accordance with the law.”

He was clearly holding his own cock and jerking off when he wrote this delusional piece.

After Benjamin's release from prison, he can be a model in the "Before and After" ads for plastic surgeons. He can be the "Before" model.

‘Before’ he got evolved into human form?

Captain starting salary range is $5,400 - $7,160. So it goes up from there, this clown likely earning close to $10k after a few years.

We must ask Iswaran the same question. There is no limit to human greed.

He looks a little like Jordan Chan.

One time saw this uncle. Not too old. Prolly in his 30s. Look quite fit type.

Wearing black shorts and the white commando t-shirt tight tight one, the one where in front got the basic airborne badge and the word "commando".

Walking limp wristed like ah gua like that. And looking very self conscious like he thinks the world is looking at him and going 'wah! This guy is commando! Special forces!'

*LMAO*

SAF regulars don't really earn much. Don't matter whether Officer or NCO. That's why need to resort to sidelines like selling vapes.

To Lead, To Excel, To Overcome.

Duty, Honour, Country.

We are the officer corps!

But if you go outside, you no money, frankly nobody really cares that you went to OCS.

At coffeeshop or NTUC you see those guys, some are lao uncle some are young punks, wear the OCS PT shirt walk here walk there, you wonder whether besides OCS maybe they didn't achieve anything else, so that's why they feel must wear their OCS PT shirt to validate themselves.

Then sometimes you also see young punks wearing t-shirt where behind it says "commando" to buy kaya toast set at Toastbox or Yakun, really LMAO

Not everyone who wears a Commando T-shirt is actually a Commando. Lots of S'poreans wear a Liverpool or Manchester United jersey as well.
