Chronicles of Old Singapore | Winston Wong – SAFTI, Bomb Disposal, Naval Diving & Sentosa Part 1

Welcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore. Winston Wong recalls being in the 2nd batch of officer cadets at SAFTI and how the Israeli ‘advisors’ who trained them brought along their military mindset from the Six-Day War. He talks about what it meant to lead a group of men and his first posting to the bomb disposal unit, doing forensic work on relics from the Second World War.00:00 Introduction01:10 Signing Up01:11 The Israeli ‘Advisors’19:14 Being an Officer27:58 Bomb Disposal 35:57 ForensicsBy My Old School on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/BymyoldschoolTo support Winston’s book on old Pulau Blakang Mati & Sentosa, contact:[email protected] I am Dr Loh Kah Seng, the people’s historian.
