the colour of drinks remind me of the chemicals kept in my secondary school science lab over 20 yrs ago

[@ianwyj1]

They didn't show the Chiefs puking afterwards from the rojak combination drink they came up with. Colours are one thing but did anyone even try it beforehand to figure out if it tasted palatable?

[@evolution8662]

ianwyj1 yeah frankly it doesn't look very appetising

[@evolution8662]

ianwyj1 Oh... But what do you expect.... They are not exactly bar tenders.....

[@tomj2064]

ianwyj1 it’s not meant to taste nice. In the USA they even add socks, albeit they do that only in inaugural celebrations

[@DarkwearGT]

it's ment to taste shit

[@MrPieman00]

The concoction making part sounds like me trying to interpret shakespeare in english class forcing representations lol

They should have used Jagermeister to represent Army.

[@muhadidihadi]

Even if there were Malays in the dinner, i don't think there were muslims there..

[@Altarcraft]

That's a very strong concoction but I wonder how it taste like.

[@puppetjim]

wasting tax payers money, just drink water will do, why need Johnny walker, and alcohol. Cut down on these useless dine-in..

[@EdT586]

Great video on a military Mess Dinner, it looks like it's the only good video on KZbin on a military Mess Dinner !

[@fah85]

Just out of Curiousty. What do Malay Commanders drink during the toast?

[@robiu.k.4504]

Muhammad Fahmi coffe and juice 🥤

[@hohohihi5035]

[@tanzepei1985]

I got it. The SAF cocktail consists: -Water: Symbolising purity and neutrality -Bombay sapphire: RSAF -Blue curacao: RSN -Campari: Army -Johnnie Walker Gold Label: The Chief of Defence Force and SAF as a whole!

[@blackburn9346]

Your tax dollars at work.

[@gdchndanmike]

@JoelJYYX Can't argue with you on being a universal affair. Traditional Armies do have it! This is tradition! The inaugural word is for first time SAF level! Many times it is done at the Unit or Fromation Level.

[@dylanseeify]

Mr vice looks very stressed

[@JoelJYYX]

No it is not a universal affair. Not all military forces have it. And no this clearly isn't a tradition, since it is "inaugural".

[@B100085]

All the jia liao bees, pls stand up pls stand up pls stand up la la la la

[@warheadsful]

okk... i just wondering... cos they serve liquor.. thats why :) no offence

[@huckerby]

[@__tachibana8072]

All the big ranks

[@antisisapendatang]

@warheadsful maybe because liquor is served?

[@kelpieboy]

Such an event aims to nurture cohesion, and a culture. These are essential qualities for a military. Leaders know that building intangible components are as important as building tangible ones. It has nothing about entitlement, but the process of building an organisation to fulfill its role. There are some who don't believe in the need for the SAF. They are entitled to such an opinion. But there are some who know better, whose experiences would easily demolish such armchair cynicism as naive.

[@Trails3rdFanboy]

Suck more on the government propaganda why don't you woof woof

[@fah85]

Thanks for the info.

Well done indeed. Military traditions are extraordinarily important, it is refreshing to see people who take it seriously. The more I see of The SAF the more impressed I am.

Apply to join if you like it so much. Ill informed

[@rrojasg68]

Singapore needs a Military, why?

[@MightyPooPSTEAM]

Why not?

[@muhammadridzwan5909]

to employ these useless people who otherwise can't find jobs outside...

[@thiskeithlee]

It acts as an deterrent force if we don’t have an army there like be no Singapore
