ME4-2 Phang Chun Yang - so this chap is not just ME4 ...but a ME4-2. Is there a ME4-9? What does the number indicate? I am totally confused.

Bet that this ME rank will be gone in 5 years.

The whole ME thing is very confusing. I have no idea who are "officers" who are "NCOs" and their relative degree of seniority, and how the hell am I suppose to address them

we just call them mee pok and mee kia in reference to the thick and thin lines of their rank insignia.

I cannot agree more.

Why do we need ME in the first place? What's wrong with the old system of just occifers and other ranks?

Looking at the fact that the SAF has never fought in any war other than being stationed far far far far away from the battlefield, or participated in humanitarian effort which is far far far far away from any action, these kuti kuti act to boost the morale of the "never fought a war soldiers", and recognise that regardless what they wear, they are just medals obtained from passing some tests.

I would be so embarrass to call myself an "expert" of something, or to declare that I have master certain skills. This is such an arrogant attitude. But if this can boost someone else's small ego....sigh....

You are right, but it still doesn't warrant (pardon the pun) setting up a parallel rank structure. They could easily have kept the existing rank and given them a different badge or collar dot to indicate their status.

ME can retire at a later age?

Not until the PAP is gone. Our foreign military counterparts must be laughing.

exactly. It is not copycat of the US WO system where that one is for true experienced personnel.
