MP Poh Li San (PAP-Sembawang), a former flight commander and helicopter search and rescue pilot in the Republic of Singapore Air Force, also asked about the current proportion of SAF servicewomen in senior leadership, and what could be done to increase this.

Dr Ng said women make up 5 per cent of regulars holding senior ranks of Lieutenant Colonel, Military Expert 6, or Master Warrant Officer and above.

“Progression to senior ranks for all personnel is based on merit, capability and aptitude, as it is for all soldiers,” he added. “We hope to see this figure increase as the proportion of servicewomen in the SAF continues to grow.”

Still, Dr Ng said the SAF is not only trying to attract women but also "Singaporeans across the board".

It's a "he".

Anyway, why need to mention something already being practised i.e. meritocracy and you have no complaint against it?

In this society of so called meritocracy...if the women are good enough they will automatically be selected.

Women representation in the SAF senior ranks should be proportionate to the NS men vs women ratio....which is zero. Why the difference in ranks ?
