We once had our National Parade held there (demobilsed Parade from Padang to various venues). Yes, that army camp was Taman Jurong Camp or rather The School of Artillery.A recruit camp for Arty recruits and home of 22nd Battalion Artillery. I was there as a recruit in 1972...oh..sure bring back<a href="http://pmcqserv.com"> mreimoes</a>...
The military eainxpled that only 10% of the officers deserving the sword award was because of cost cutting is to me an illogical justification. Let say if Singapore is involeved in an armed conflict, can the military tell the so-called elite officers(sword bearing ones) to plunge into the battle first and tackle the enemy fearlessly, while the less elite guys just to follow behind. To me all these throwing of 'smoke' is because the top brass wants to lessen their own job pressure.
