i know la... u read my post properly

this guy is not a scholar but he has good academic degrees, his physical fitness and individual soldiering skills are not exceptional.. a few of the course he attend in his late 30 and early 40s he drop out.. cant blame him as most people undertake these courses at a younger age and because he's tied with infantry chances to attend these course is low... but what made this guy so exception is something that cant be graded on paper, his leadership skills.. he's not only a leader in the military but also in the malay muslim community.. last time not many malay regular nco made it beyond warrant officer rank mostly drop out demotivated and demoralized, this guy pushed them to further studies (many join last time for job security due to poor grads in school) even when they couldnt believe in themselves and many promoted after that... among his men he drink n makan together, what he command he would be there too... that's why he's among the colonels that is not a scholar to be made a general... also he wasnt even in charge of any special operations before which is exceptional cause most non-scholar generals are in charge of an special operation before..

after leaving the military this guy is damn flexible.. he was posted to GLC but he ventured out and ran his own venture...
