ฝัง

- How much do you love the sea? Probably not as much as Encik Roger Seow. Since joining the Republic of Singapore Navy at 16, he has seen the growth of over a thousand Navy men and women across his 47 years (and counting!) of service. Roger is also the longest-serving personnel in the RSN.
Catch Roger at the National Day Parade tomorrow in the Merdeka Generation segment! 😉

This man is a legend! I met him once during my NS days ..
Old man young spirit
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.
The dislikes are from pirates

I enjoyed this interview very much. Thank you Encik Seow. I'm not from the Navy but your interview was very enlightening and entertaining!
A great patriot, thank you for your selfless sacrifices to serve Singapore!
Navy pride!!! Kind of miss those days
Encik Roger Seow!!! A very respectable man and senior that we look up to during service!!!
He looks like the kind of encik that will give you one time upside down if you mess up hahaha
Roger is in Singapore NDP 2019 :) Under Merdeka generation
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
this encik got sense of humour
Our Cultural Places may or may not last. But our Cultural People and History will always live on!
A hero in his own right.
I remember thunderstorm. I remember Goh chok thong visit to my ship.

He know me since im born lolx
Salute an old Salt.
Legend in the navy !
Nothing but respect for this legend
Gol D. Roger navy version
Seow D. Roger. 😂
Fatherly encik. One of the best.
I was a navy like him in the past. He the Encik Roger Seow shared the same thoughts as mine
Wow very nice ogs
Coolest encik
Steady la this bro
Superb!
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.
Left right left right x 100 LOL...
Wow Huge Respect
Charismatic 👍🏼
I really miss the Navy on a daily basis.........biggest regret is to not re-sign on :(
Haizzzzz too old to sign on now lol
In the Singapore Navy, this guy is even more popular than the Chief of Navy! No joke!
watching the 1st 10 seconds of the clip, DID HE JUST ROAST THE SENIOR MINISTER , damn
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?
salute to you lah encik
He was my sqn coxain in 182 Sqn
He is the real life version of Garp the hero.
1:01 "you wanna join the navy but.."
🤔 oh boy, here comes the open secret.. 😏
he cant swin
He can swim
He's my father's friend!
my RP instructor back in SNT

#legend
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.
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.
@@nishidaechizen6194 Wow ha
@@SuccessforLifester Really great guy. Cares for all his soldiers and makes everyone feel like family
Who dat female me1 tho she got a cute smile
Once you're Seaman...always be a Seaman's...
hi
Show us more of this, the flesh and bones that makes this country, sick of the fake surface bullshit they show on tv.
He s0und liKe Pua Chu Kang?!?!!!??!?!?!?!
Roger the sailor man... poot... poot...
新加坡人都好乐观
wowwwwwww
Is this the real life sengoku??
Sailors are known to have girlfriends in multiple countries. Even my Indian trainers in Artillery hinted he has a Chinese gf in Taiwan.
Look carefully, it’s Popeye!!
Old man and the sea
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.
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.
cant understand what he is saying.. thank god for subtitles
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.
So stains don't appear as clearly, while maintaining the pixel pattern to have "unity" with the other 3 forces (it's like why DIS has a pixelated uniform despite being literal keyboard warriors). Their no. 4 also has reflective sleeves so they can be more easily found if they happen to go overboard

I want to see the stacks of cash that are always inside your pockets Encik
45yrs gt fire down pirates ship before?
Why does Singapore has a navy
because we have a mega port? and the singapore's waters is also a major strategic trading point ? we are smacked centre in a very busy trade route. so if there is no navy to look after the seas , wouldn't there be alot of pirates hijacking the ships?
Coz we need a navy. Thats all
Gol D Roger
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.
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?
Godfather of RSN
A hero in his own right.
