Mr Tung Kok Cheong's Farewell Ceremony

The Farewell Ceremony recently held for urrent Administration Officer Mr. Tung Kok Cheong was indeed a respectable event. There was both grief and joy in equal measures as the SJI NCC (Air) Company bid farewell to its erstwhile Commanding Officer (of the past) and incumbent Administration Officer, while wishing him a most fruitful and resting retirement.

The Ceremony commenced with a video presentation of Mr Tung’s past achievements in SJI NCC (Air) and his contributions to the development of the unit into what it has become today; a centre of excellence for Uniformed Groups training. The presentation was followed by a gift presentation on behalf of the Teacher Officers, who presented Mr Tung with a model aircraft as a memento of his years spent in the service of the Corps. On behalf of the cadets of the Unit, Mr Tung was presented with a card and vanguard sheets decorated with well-wishes and signatures, sincerely embellished by the cadets themselves. The Ceremony was concluded with a cake-cutting ceremony, whereby Mr Tung himself cut the first slice, and subsequently the company was treated to a slice of celebration cake. It was indeed a most significant event for the SJI NCC (Air) Company.

SJI NCC (Air) Company would like to wish Mr Tung a most peaceful and refreshing retirement, and to wish him the best of luck in all his future endeavours! May you continue soaring to greater heights!
