Factsheet - 155mm Gun Explosion In New Zealand On 9 Mar 97 Citation - 1SG Teo Boon Hong


1SG TEO BOON HONG 1SG TEO BOON HONG was the Battery Sergeant Major of ‘B’ Battery, 23rd Battalion, SINGAPORE Artillery.

1SG TEO was thrown over the Muzzle Velocity Indicator (MVI) by the blast and landed about 2 metres behind the MVI when the gun exploded.

He turned around and saw that the camouflage net was burnt, the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) and the area in front of the ammunition were on fire.

Realising the imminent danger of further explosions, he shouted for everyone to clear away from Gun 4.

About this time, he saw PTE RAMESH staggering out of Gun 4, with his face and hands covered with blood. 1SG TEO went back to the Gun to help PTE RAMESH.

Despite the fires surrounding the areas, 1SG TEO dragged PTE RAMESH by the soldier’s webbing, and pulled him to the Command Post. By then, 1SG TEO’s shirt was on fire.

He was oblivious to the fact that his shirt was on fire until someone alerted him to remove his shirt. The horrifying experience that 1SG TEO had in moving PTE RAMESH away from the Gun area did not deter him from repeating the same act of bravery.

1SG TEO BOON HONG ran back to the Gun area for the second time even though he was without a shirt, subjecting himself once again to danger.

His main concern then was to help another soldier, LCP KOH CHIN WEE, who was badly injured and was choking on his own saliva. 1SG TEO BOON HONG’s acts of bravery in the NEW ZEALAND’s training incident are highly commendable.

His composure in times of crisis, and his actions to get the soldiers to move away from the burning areas, have prevented the loss of more lives.

1SG TEO BOON HONG is presented the SAF MEDAL FOR DISTINGUISHED ACT.

黄金路

我们都该 回头看看 来时路

就算起风 偶尔有雾 模糊不了幸福

我们都该 在心里数数 感动的次数

谁陪你疯 谁陪你笑 拍拍肩一起追逐

多少爱错过了才看清楚

多少事无法弥扑才认输

多少次以为找到了幸福

却发现一开始就是个错误

每一段路都是一种领悟

珍珠再夺目 留不住心头热呼呼

真心的鼓舞 能温暖一生的旅途

每一段路 难免荆棘密布

把坚持牢牢握住 不怕艰难险阻

学会去爱 就不会迷路
