BDF faces new challenges with social media

Most of the founding officers and men would all agree that the military organisation they established four decades ago is now to them unrecognisable. And by the way, all of them have now gone into retirement.

When I joined BDF, most officers were from the Police Mobile Unit era. They possessed little education and carried with them immense volumes of wisdom. When we were young officers, we felt those seniors were an obstacle to our new ways of leadership. These old men never wanted to get anywhere near trouble with the authorities. They were difficult in taking hard decisions because they always feared being fired before they could reach their pension period.
