SAF promotes army and navy chiefs
Minister for Defence Dr Ng Eng Hen congratulates BG Ravinder Singh (2nd from left) who has been promoted to major general while ME7 Lee Ling Wee (extreme left, promoted to ME8) and RADM Ng Chee Peng (3rd from left, promoted to RADM 2 star) look on during a mingling session after the SAF Promotion Ceremony. -- ST PHOTO: NG SOR LUAN
BOTH army and navy chiefs were promoted on Monday, leading the list of 513 officers to move up in the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) this year.
Army chief Ravinder Singh, 46, and Navy chief Ng Chee Peng, 41, received their second stars, becoming Major-General and Rear-Admiral (two-star) respectively.
Seven colonels also received their first star as they entered the ranks of the generals.
They will join the top echelons of SAF, which will now have one lieutenant-general, three major-generals and more than 20 brigadier-generals.
Brigadier-General Singh made history in March when he became the first operationally ready national serviceman (NSman) to return to lead the army.
He had retired from the SAF in 2009, the same year he became the Defence Ministry's deputy secretary (technology).
