  • it takes ten years to grow a tree, it takes hundred years to build a man? as an ex-general, CCS, you're full of shit....a sawlog rotation is 120 years from sapling to merchantability, but it only takes 18 years for a human to become an adult ...your chinese sounds impressive but its garbage, and so glad i didn't serve under your stoooopidity.....and hey buddy get a haircut and get a real job. walkovers ain't the real thing.

  • Sir, what is this so-called "populist sentiments" are you talking about? Are you saying that the past NSmen (who were also Reservists themselves once before) and in the end has becomes only common people; don't gave a damn with the defence of our country? Before you even talked about your current Reservists, let me tell you that the 49'ners and those born after them, served their National Service long before you and you current Reservists were ever even born! ...cont below...

  • Our parents made sacrifices wholeheartedly! We paid our dues to the country whether we liked it or not. We did our in-camp training every year as dutifully as anyone could wish for. On the contrary instead of asking us past Reservists to respect them young ones, you should have asked them young ones to kowtow to us past Reservists first before you even dare asked us to respect them. This ought to have been done with every new batch of Reservists. ....cont below...

  • As former COA, in effect you yourself are doing us past Reservists a great injustice by not recognizing our past efforts and by not giving us the credits due to us after having performed our duty as required by SINGAPORE LAW! Instead you've forgotten and disparaged us as "populists" (since we're the people too you know). So is it true then that when one had out lived their usefulness they're being discarded like toilet paper? ...cont below...

  • Is that what's going to happened to your current Reservists that when they've completed their duty; that they too will be chuck to one corner of Singapore and be forgotten with? What makes you think that any sane Singaporean would and could entertained such thoughts that your current Reservists are "playing masak-masak and that they're not doing anything serious" since every Singaporean male child has to do NS any one of these days or has completed their 2-3 years stints! ...cont below...

  • After all, when we're at WAR, their life and their loved ones; including everything they owned in Singapore, are at stake here! Even if they're poor. Are your current Reservists any much different from us past Reservists? If they're, in what are they any different? I ask you, who and where are those people whom you claimed entertained such so-called "populist sentiment" who looked down upon your current Reservists?  -End-

  • Sir what is this "masak-masak" are you talking about? If what you said is true, then you has failed in your duty as Chief of Army. 23 years of your command in the military has produced the false preception in people that in-camp training is playing "masak-masak." After 46 years of "masak-masak", shouldn't Mindef convene a Citizenry Board of Inquiry as to why this is so & fire those top brass responsibled for this treacherous outcome before revamping the entire SAF military training system! LOL!

  • If they so bloody clever to be the gov for the last 46 years then they should be smart enough to defuse any damn situation that arises. If they're not up to it, then they should resign and let other people who can do it run the show. We acknowledge the gov's many years of effort in building up the SAF to what it is today. We do appreciate, honour and applaud the young people's determination & commitment to die for the nation. We're not questioning their loyalty nor deny them their strength.

  • You said, "It takes one minute for other people who wish us ill, to get angry with us and to threatened us." Sir, your 2nd points borders on and smell of warmongering. You've selected to run for office in a GE and not for the War Minister's post. Why tell us our neigbouring countries' animosities at this time? If there're such travesties, its the gov's job to handle the dilemma amicably so that we don't have to go to war what? If not, then we vote for them for what? Collect hugh gaji buta ah?

  • You said, "In my short time with the SAF in the last 20 years, there were many occassions where we've to stand our ground and stare down the competition in order for us to have the space to be called S'poreans." Is this true? I was not privvy to such info. Were all such incidences ever publicized in the ST? Or was it kept under wrap? Did it posed a danger to the country and its people? If it did, were they being told? If not, why not. Who're these alleged competitors? We've the right to know.

  • People don't take peace for granted. Peaceful or not is what you said. Its SAF's job to ensure that S'pore is safe from agression. Its the gov's duty to ensure there's peace with our neighbours with sanguine diplomacy. If the gov says its peaceful; its peaceful la. If the gov says we go to war; we go to war la. Have we any choice in this regard? We're pawns at the mercy of the gov. So don't say people take peace for granted. At the end of the day, people pays it with their lives & loved ones.

  • You asked & replied, "Will we beat the odds of History? We don't know but we'll try." With all due respect Sir but coming from you the Chief of Army, Commander 9th Division Chief Infantry Officer, its simply incongruous! How can you not know? How can you try? Oh no, not with people's lives you won't. You know or not? You can or not? No trying. Trying means you don't know. You don't know, half the war is lost. Plus you still want to try some more. Aiyoh then I must say sayonara to Singapore la.

  • Defence budget are strictly governement's perogative. Their discussions and decision are classifed materials and top secret in nature. Was the people ever being consulted as to whether or not we should go nuclear, buy nuclear warship or built outer space Star War defence system to defend Singapore? No. They ought to know how much to spend to defend S'pore. Where defence is concerned people knows it justified. Unless they spent the money on procuring sex for the military complex's personnel la?

  • You'll just make 3 points in response? Ok. Which small nation like Singapore did not survived 100 years in the last 500 years history of South East Asia? And what has the word "sexy" got anything to do with people's discussion about the defence budget? "Sexy" is about sex you know? And who were those people who said such outrageous things about not caring for the defence budget? As I know, defence budget are normally debated in Parliament among the ministers. Or by the members of the Cabinet.

  • he can talk the talk but can he walk the walk? he has not commanded troops in actual battle so who knows?

  • 42 become general ...what a joke

  • He talkin to who? Soldiers or civilians? We r civilians

  • I will suggest that people take back their comment, How many does this general HAVE to go through before on taking the position that (military officers) have been FIGHTING for, and for that position he once had, MG Chan must accuired the requierments of that position before he is being promoted !

  • hey paper general, Its so easy to craft a speech and lecture, anybody can do that. Dont try to teach us, remember many of us singaporeans are much older than a young punk like you, whatever you can think about, so can we. Learn to be humble, dont try to lecture, it doesnt impress.

  • What another arrogant speech from the arrogant team of people.

  • eh 2 star general go suck my cock la. be a useless officer la.

  • He keep shaking his body with straight face, hahaha. MG Chan.

  • Look at his arrogant style. Must be some way related to the Lee family.

  • He should use an appropriate word to sound respectable without using the word 'sexy".  It gave me goosebumps!

  • Whoa! Was I taken aback by his smirk and tight-lipped face. He's right about our defence force BUT he just needs to remember he's talking to civilians and we don't like talking down to. Nobody does. Our PM Lee has to remind him that they are 'servants' serving the people of Singapore, did I I hear right?

  • Yoh man.. is this dude a comedian or what ?

  • Come on. Be fair. This man was a general. He is supposed to stand firm else our country won't stand firm. He has to tell you the reality of war. You won't want a koo niang to head your military. Give him time to transit to being a politician. In your first job, didn't your employer give you time to adjust?

  • @tyeogh I wouldn't even get past the interview if I had that kinda face and attitude.

  • @tyeogh : Reality of war? He has not even been to war before. Which country in the world has a Lt Gen HIS age WITHOUT military experience?

    Gosh. This is unbelievable.

  • This guy needs to wipe the smirk off his face. The way he talks perfectly explains why there is a sentiment of resentment against the government now . Is the PAP so out of touch that they don't realise this?

  • sighhhhhh...another one of those unproven untested with any field experience but claim to know enuf to tell us what to do?? try a couple of stints in iraq, maybe afhganistan try the talebans perhaps he will then know how "small" his credentials are ..typical grade A by-product of the regime ”语无伦次“ rather he stick to the uniform in the jungle where he belongs!!

  • I don't this guy can serve! he can only dictate..jia lak!

  • rank after MG is MP...

  • We r so lucky you "retired" from the army, yet so unfortunate to have you in Parliament. Please wipe that smirk off your face, you are here to serve now, not talk us down. Have some humility, have some respect for people.

  • He speaks arrogant, he acts arrogant and he looks arrogant! WTF is this???

  • Mr. Lee Hsien Loong, I hope that you can seriously reflect on the kind of people you pick for your team. I have completed my NS more about 30 years ago and now I am ashame to be an officer of the SAF because of the way I am being talked down! MG Chan needs a lot more humility that PAP can teach him! I am not an opposition supporter but this time in 2011, it is 1 less vote for PAP.

  • Already in Parliament! Nepotism at its finest?

  • Can't stand his insincere f@&k face!

  • Oh my goodness!!!! he reminds me of those haolian sergeant preaching to a group of NCC boys in sch. Simply dislikeble. Hey come on, our PM doesn't even speak like this manner....

  • Comment removed

  • He talk like F... proud F****************** looks. Cant even be humble talking to the public dont even say abt speaking humbly to others in private

  • Be humber my dear general and don't be too arrogant. You are not talking as a commander now. You are suppose to serve the people.

  • "In the last 500 years, which country the size of Singapore; the composition like Singapore, that have survived more than 100 years? None."

    Gong jiao wei!

  • Please have some humility my dear general sir. With such arrogance and always up there on the ivory tower, how can you understand the plight we people at the bottom are in

  • Please have some sense of humility my dear general sir. How would you expect to understand us on the ground when you are always up on the ivory tower!

  • "we spend what we need and we are responsible to the nation for every single cent that we spent". seriously?

  • Oi PAP i work as road sweeper every morning but I also want to help singapore leh even though I don't know a single thing about politics. How can I help them? I work very hard you know! How come I'm not elected to be an MP? How?? I also wanna help and earn 15K a month like your kate spade girl!!!!

  • I actually agree with his analysis of the security situation in Singapore, however I really don't think he should speak to reporters and by proxy to the general public in such an arrogant and dismissive manner. His attitude is really disgusting and speaks volumes of him as a character

  • 0:05 "...it is always very sexy..." wah sexy siahhhh talk about army. so sexy. boomz.. aiyah you facepalm lah mr general PAP.

  • Very dislikable. they truly are very disgusting people.

  • hahaha, sillyporean will vote for more silly people in! especially those in white.

  • Mr Know-It-All.. Worst than Tin

  • You are great! Until I watch your few video clips.... Mmmm.... Sigh

  • You are great! Until I watch your few video clips.... Mmmm.... Sigh

  • You look great if don't deliver a speech.  Mmmm.... Sigh!

  • Mmmm.... Sigh!

  • To be honest the way he talk is arrogant.

  • you should stay on in the army ... be green not white ...

  • Who agrees he looks like the MAD MAGAZINE character...

  • @fiasco12

    YOU ARE DEAD ON RIGHT. WITH THE SLIGHT ASIAN TWEAK IN FEAUTRES, HE CAN BE SINGAPORE MASCOT FOR ASIAN MAD MAGAZINE!!! HA! HA!

  • HEY MONKEY BOY, NOT ONLY YOU SPEAK SO STUPIDLY BUT YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY LAME IN POLITICS! QUIT!

  • only one word to describe him and it starts with D

    and its not damn-good-looking..

  • Oh my goodness! PAP just hired another arrogant guy into the fold. He thinks he's talking to recruits (sic!). Looks like he hasn't come down to earth yet.

  • what a history man!!!

    look forward pleaseee....

  • Ummmmm... whose this? Shut up and gtfo.

  • he's just a typical army regular-type. can't speak to save his life.

  • SEXY? sir, are u on attend C? did u eat too much combat ration?

  • As the saying goes, talk cock sing song.....

  • I think I will like you more if you stayed on in the army, focus your time in military and just stayed in green, not white. Thumbs up for content, middle finger for delivery.

  • he is good and fair. He can.

  • Would u prefer a stupid army general who prefers to take his nation into war, or a wise army general who is better at avoiding war?

  • his attitude aside, content wise Chan Chun Sing actually makes alot of sense.. i have no idea what you are doing flaming a model citizen of Singapore. Would you prefer smooth talking politicians lying to your face all the time?

    thumbs up for Chan Chun Sing!!!

  • @possibalypotty shuutup pap's minion

  • I like this guy. Don't be anti-PAP just for the sake of being anti-PAP. He has good answers.

  • 14 dislikes and 1 likes . HAHAHAH

  • $10 billion a year on defence is NOTHING when you consider that Temasek Holdings spent $8.7 billion on "administrative expenses" last year and around $8 billion each year in the years prior to last. This information can be found on Temasekreport

  • more than 10 billion a year on defence. More and better planes than our neighbours, best tank in the world, Multiple Rocket Launchers, submarines, howitzers, stealth warships... no wonder people wish us ill. I would be edgy also if i see my neighbour armed to its teeth. What do i do?..I will also go out and buy the best weapon i can afford...no end. As stated by an eminent buddhist monk.."First it starts with Competition, this will escalate into Conflict which will further escalate into War."

  • when you r good at wat you are doing, just stick to your post and serve the nation...

    stop bla-bla-bla..... Priority is livihood of singaporean and not flexing your muscle time.

    So, cut it short before you need to buy more insurance before 7/05/2011.

  • Yes PAP, this is the type of MP I will support, BUT, please a 27 yrs old. How?? Dont u think Parliament is a High Office that Should command Respect and certain Decorum!! This MG has 20 years in SAF and also has a good reputation in the Army, Yes I will vote for him BUT nor 27yrs old or 24 yrs old please!!

  • @telpat
