ABOUT ME

David was very dedicated to his meaningful work as a Senior Officer with the Singapore Civil Defence Force. He loves to travel, especially to China where he could relate the history of pre-historic China to those of the Qin Dynasty, Chu-Han‰, The Three Kingdom and so on till the Qing Dynasty, the Nationalist Movement and the Civil War before liberation of China and the establishment of the People's Republic of China.

Since 2014, David has resigned from commission as a Lieutenant-Colonel and joined the Resorts World at Sentosa as the Director for Corporate Safety and Emergency Planning Department. He left RWS in 2018 and now works in ST Engineering.
