In addition, as many of you would know, I will be stepping down as OC Unit and my last day of work will be next Friday (17th July). Mr Lee will be stepping up as the OC Unit and Mr Romzee as the unit adjutant. Ms Jasline Pan will be joined by another teacher officer, Ms Faye Tan who will also be the co-teacher in charge of the Sec 1 squad. Please give her a warm welcome when you see her.

It's been great working with the CIs and NCOs to run this UG for all of you. I will miss every single one of you very much. Please continue to strive for excellence and serve the unit with pride. I wish you all the best in whatever you do. I hope to hear wonderful updates about our unit's achievements when I am in Japan. All of you will be in my prayers.
