I have been very active in the Singapore Armed Forces as a reservist commander since 1986. I had attended several military courses that prepared me for higher military command appointments in SAF. Notably, I attended the Command & Staff Course in 1996 which was followed by the appointment of Battalion Commander of an Infantry Regiment from 1997 to 2004.
