A Matter of Duty: A Memoir of My Time in the Singapore Armed Forces (1967–1982) NEW

“A Matter of Duty needs to be required reading for all SAF officers and MINDEF professional staff. It is a lively, candid, engaging and, at times, surprising memoir that explains how the formative years were used to turn bits and pieces into a comprehensive and organised armed forces that are now a core institution of the country in an astonishingly short time.”

– Brian Farrell, Professor of Military History, Department of History, National University of Singapore; author of The Defence and Fall of Singapore
