SAF Chief Guards Officer SUDDENLY RESIGNS as Head of NDP.Standing in HOUGANG is it??

Re: SAF Chief Guards Officer SUDDENLY RESIGNS as Head of NDP.Standing in HOUGANG is i

Did not resign from SAF but from committee. He is still in service.


Sudden resignation is usually associated with some form of wrongdoing. Some weeks ago, quite a high ranking chap from the SPH also resigned suddenly. No prizes for the right answer. So, when this chap appears in court, it is "ex-police officer" as if the image is not tainted. Silly.

Colonel behind NDP leaving the SAF, quits for 'personal reasons'


Defence Ministry says Chief Guards Officer has asked to retire for 'personal reasons'

By Jermyn Chow

The man at the helm of this year's National Day Parade is leaving the Singapore Armed Forces, five months before Singapore's 47th birthday.

This is the first time that a senior army officer is stepping down as chairman of the NDP organising committee before the big show on Aug9.

Colonel Nelson Yau, who is in his mid-40s, has asked to retire from the SAF due to 'personal reasons', said the Ministry of Defence on Sunday.

As a result, he will also be vacating his post as the SAF's Chief Guards Officer.

Now the news is confirmed that he is leaving SAF. I think it is very obvious that it's due to a wrong doing. There is 2 high profile scandal going on, Cecilia Sue and online prostitution ring. Want to open plate? :D

Cecilia Sue: 2.46
Online Pro: 1.67
Any other scandal: 1.4

I couldn't find any report that he is a scholar. He is in his mid-40 and is only a col. i.e. he is unlikely to be a scholar. A non-scholar selected to chair NDP organising com. - he is special. Tends to believe that it is unlikely he quit for wrongdoing - especially the publicity given.

'The SAF will be appointing a senior officer to take over the Chief Guards Officer post. The new Chief Guards Officer will also take on the responsibility of being chairman of NDP 2012 executive committee,' said Mindef public affairs director Col Desmond Tan, 41, though he did not say who.


Mid 40s army leech 'retire' from SAF? Strike TOTO is it?

Current Chief Armour Officer got his star at 40s also. I think unless you are ear marked for that few top positions in the SAF, it is seldom that you get your star before age 40.

Kee Chiu was also seeing stars before his 40s.

This one we know was definately earmarked for stardom due to his exquisite taste in XO chai tao kway. :D

His face reminded me of my taekwondo teacher when I was a kid. That guy was going around playing the dicks of little boys. Few years later, I read in the news that he was caught for screwing or molesting some young girls or boys and sent to changi chalet. The name was Ho Kwong Ping or Teo Kwong Ping.

Strike TOTO? If you refers to the normal prize money of $600k, he is striking TOTO every 2 years with his salary. Literally insane to quit over a 2-year salary which many would regard as a windfall.

Or he may be stricken with some terminal illness! Such a high profile person will only resign for personal reasons such as health or criminal wrongdoing.:confused:

Re: SAF Chief Guards Officer SUDDENLY RESIGNS as Head of NDP.Standing in HOUGANG is i

Maybe he finally saw what a farce the NDP is, or heard the ridiculous demands from the exco members or the creative director (Glen Goei or some other artsy-fartsy fruitcake), so he thought to himself 'fuck this shit, I'm out'. Made up some 'personal reasons' and left.

Quitting while you're ahead = foresight. If so, then he needs to be applauded.
