Colonel Baharuddin Md Diah visits 2 ARTY circa 1970




Above is group photo of 2ARTY officers during Colonel Baharuddin's visit to the Regiment in Kluang. He was then Director of the ARTY in MINDEF.  Colonel Bob Zain was CO and I was 2IC.

I wish to mention two officers who were hardly known by all, lest they are forgotten. They are Kapt Goh Siew Yoke, fifth from the left in the last row. Also Major Ng Soo Tiong seated second from the right.

Goh Siew Yoke moved on to be an rubber estate planter in the Asahan plantations. He plays the drums in the Bty band very well. We always enjoy his Chinese Cha Cha Cha beats. Siew Yoke was always cheerful and a team player.

Ng Soo Tiong was the RLO in Kota Belud Range Sabah for a long tour. Soo Tiong was elderly and was always helpful to one and all. He had since passed on. We had lost a good Gunner and a good friend.
