About Me

My photo
David Boey
Former Defence Correspondent at The Straits Times, a Singaporean English language broadsheet newspaper. ACCORD member. Working on a writing project before moving to staff comms. KEMENTAH is short for Kementerian Pertahanan, the Malay term for Ministry of Defence. Senang Diri is a Malay footdrill command which means "stand at ease". This blog is about defence information management, especially defence media relations and strategic media relations. It examines Singapore defence and security matters and the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF), which I'm very passionate about. I developed a life-long interest in the SAF the moment I attended my first SAF Display at Changi as a kid in the 1970s. Thankfully, I've made more friends than enemies while researching the SAF. : ) Please visit my Youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/ChineseJunk1. MA in Security Studies, University of Hull (1996) under Prof Colin Gray, Dr Tim Huxley and Dr Eric Grove. US State Dept National Security & Counter Terrorism Program (2004) Reported on: * Flying Eagle: Taiwan 9/21 quake relief * Blue Heron I: Timor Leste * Blue Orchid I: Persian Gulf * Flying Eagle: Meulaboh, Indonesia
