NDU storeman and his Black Market.


Just back frm changi naval base where i saw the guys on guard duty wearing their SBOs(skeleton battle sth). As u can can see here in the photo, my land phase instructor 1SG Chai who coincidentally won a wits project award today for his GPMG stand project, walking behind a few of my platoon guys during our training. Fortunately, i neva wore an SBO for my guard duties cause we only carry a pistol.
On the topic of SBOs, YY Song reminded me today that the gunners in GA need to return the SBO we signed out for Exercise Truewave last yr... I dun know where e hell i put that SBO.

The bloody storeman 2Sgt Lim aka 'Ang Kong Lim' because of his disgusting tatoos, is in charge of all the stores we need to return b4 we Ord.

This guy sells his equipment to Naval Divers(who have missing equipment which they are required to return to the Logistics) at a cheaper price, otherwise they would have to write a statement and then sign a 1206(a form which deducts money frm ur bank acct to purchase ur missing equipment).
So for eg if u lose a SAF poncho and u want to sign 1206 for it, u'll pay close to $40 for its original costs. But Ah Lim will claim to help u and sell it to u at $20 and pocket it.
What an entrepeurner... The govt would hope for more S'poreans like him.
Sounds like a Gd deal??? Wonder where the hell he gets all these extra equipment.

Looks like he's been 'earning' or pocketing quite a sum of money from all these yrs and there's nothing anyone can do abt it. One person can pay a range of $20 to $100 for him to help replace our missing equipment. And there's almost 60 pple in my platoon. Think abt the money he makes.... Makes me wonder how come all our HP nuts frm our diving regulators ended up missing????

Do u think its right for someone to earn money frm u in this despicable way and yet he claims he is trying help u? If only i could expose his wrongdoings by bringing up the matter to Head Logistics in NDU. However this would only create more problems cause supply comes when demand exists.... Damn...
