At the end of the video when he was asked how he want to be remembered he said' Everyone who knows Roger Seow, will remember me". Back in the mid to late 90s, he was posted to the Squadon HQ and i was still onboard ships. i confirm nearly all ppl back then in my generations know Roger Seow. he is one of the best runner in the navy. i was in my 20s running a +9min ( 2.4km) and he can run probably near 10min ( 2,4min) at that age. i left navy 20 years ago, and i still can remember his name till this day. Wish you all the best sir, and i hope to see you someday.
I really miss the navy... As a gunner it was tedious doing the guns cleaning but that's the thing I miss the most because even my ship CO come down and helped at times so it made me and my fellow gunners feel good... Haizz I wish I could sail and be a gunner again... Sadly can't sign on
Just a thought, had you guys ever thought of doing a video of the most iconic Naval Institute Sergent Major, Harbahjan Singh? I think this story would touch many people, and bring back fond memories about him.
I love the sea n the maritime world. In 1977 I was enlisted in the army. While in BMT at Transit Rd.. Née Soon. Attached to Bravo Company.. 2nd Battalion.. I wanted to sign on in the Navy. Sad to say.. No able to.. Dues to unknown reasons.. However after ROD in 1979. In civil life.. In 1985 I manage to be a seafarer as a Merchant Navy.. This career was ceases in 1998..Looking back.. If only I'm allowed to join in the RSN.. Signing on.. What's a far more rewarding career it will be..?? Poor me!..
U more or less no clearance in the army and I believe u know the reason why. sometimes when one door closes, another door opens, you managed to be a seafarer in the end, don't you?
Encik seow is like my dad,you can joke with him,no prob,BUT that is only during free and easy.When they are really on the ball,try doing that lah,they will whack the balls out of you.I am completely sure.

cannot say , since he long service already , probably got into skirmishes with armed pirates back in the past or maybe during the period where indonesia was against SG joining malaysia federation?
"When the enemy attacking you, pretend to be dead lah". Old man, you are disgrace to the nation! If Lim Bo Seng is still alive, he will definitely kick your ass out.
Typical Pai Kia ( gangster) who signed up for the army(navy) because they cannot find a proper job in the market when the police clamped down hard on them. BTw thats original singaporee accent for u for viewers around the world. cheers!
There's no shame in not speaking perfect Queens' English. In fact, English is not his only language. He probably can speak at least 2 other languages Mandarin, Malay and several dialects like Hokkien and Cantonese. Your comment is a disgrace to yourself. Since when is the command of English language a guage of a person's character and achievements?
You can sense the vigour in him.
Honest,clean and helpful.
Note that down people.
*notes it down*
This man is a legend! I met him once during my NS days ..
45 years service,
He would have served =

He looks like Popeye the Sailor man...
Good atleast he love his passion
He was sad he was happy he lived and will continue to live on.

Encik what is your secret to have no white hair huh? So many people in my vocation (IT) already have quarters to half the head with white hairs.
heng ah wah beh si 😂
Show us more of this, the flesh and bones that makes this country, sick of the fake surface bullshit they show on tv.
Who dat female me1 tho she got a cute smile

He must have experienced many different girlfriends from different countries
When I chatted with him, he mentioned that if you ever see a bunch of kids that look like him in any part of South East Asia, you know why.

Old man and the sea
Roger the sailor man... poot... poot...
Sailors are known to have girlfriends in multiple countries. Even my Indian trainers in Artillery hinted he has a Chinese gf in Taiwan.
wowwwwwww
cant understand what he is saying.. thank god for subtitles
I want to join the navy but navy doesn't recruit malay
Maybe in naval bases but not on ships due to limitations of the kitchen. One day perhaps when the big ships comes then it will happen
Got some difficulty in food for Navy, so if you don't mind it, you could be able to go in?
Dude wtf
U can join
@@breadiztasty Dont mind the food? That is against religion. It is an obligation for them to follow their practices. Likewise same for others who cannot eat beef.
Why navy wear camouflage blue, can camouflage against the sea meh? Why not wear camouflage green?
wats ur better suggestion? why green? want be algae or seaweed?
@@noproblematallmate On a ship, forget about camouflaging. Sailors do disembark eventually.

SIALA I KEEP THINKING WHY HE LOOK SO FAMILIAR THEN Realise HE IS THE MUSEUM CURATOR ............
Sufficient
Let me guess he never went into war
Even he did also can not say.
cannot say , since he long service already , probably got into skirmishes with armed pirates back in the past or maybe during the period where indonesia was against SG joining malaysia federation?
War is nothing to be bragged upon. Killing other people is not to be proud of. Its merely a duty to country.
"When the enemy attacking you, pretend to be dead lah". Old man, you are disgrace to the nation! If Lim Bo Seng is still alive, he will definitely kick your ass out.
Can’t be bother.
Can't be bothered to use proper english terms?
Typical Pai Kia ( gangster) who signed up for the army(navy) because they cannot find a proper job in the market when the police clamped down hard on them. BTw thats original singaporee accent for u for viewers around the world. cheers!
do u know gangsters are born leaders?
When his seamen have problem outside. He go down talk to outside gangster to help settle the problem. Truly respect him
@@ashleyyanz huh? He was a pai kia? He really his seamen settle problems outside? Wow
To interview this roger dude is a huge mistake, the way he talks and acts is a disgrace and projects a poor image of the navy.
