Day 22 of 22-Day Push up Challenge.
Carolyn Ng, am in a collared polo, dressier than yesterday.
Pushed up on Fort Canning Hill. 100meters away downhill, at the Handy Road end of Dhoby Ghaut MRT station, is a monument to Konfrontasi. 1 SIR and 2 SIR were deployed to fight the Indonesian troops. A famous battle was fought at Kota Tinggi where a section from 2SIR was ambushed while they were bathing in the river, sans sentry. Men from the regiment were deployed a few days later to hunt down the aggressors and kick ass. They did.
Singapore troops have not been involved in open armed conflict and combat since Konfrontasi. Am sure though that our veterans would have suffered from PTSD. So as I come into the final days, it’s time to Honour our vets. So.
