North Korea and PRC also have same pattern!?? LOL<br /><br /><strong>Anonymous 3:02pm</strong><br />But Singapore quite established the path for senior SAF to go into GLCs. PAP knows they have to keep them co-opted and also to renew SAF leadership constantly to prevent them from getting too comfortable and powerful as a political force given SAF's big presence in Singapore.<br /><br /><strong>Anonymous 3:02pm</strong><br />Yes.
