Fallen NSF firefighter posthumously promoted to 1st Sgt by SCDFSingapore Civil Defence Force officers observed a minute of silence for Edward H Go, who died on Dec 8 battling a blaze at Henderson Road. No diff also if promote him General. He's not getting the salary... is he? prorated till his ORD date? Should be promoted to a goddamn general. With medals of honor. Gave his life to save others, ultimate sacrifice. Though that’s small comfort. Nobody really cares whether he had a serious blood clot. Just get everyone to glue their eyeballs on some pompous ceremony. Perfect job.
