Must go Court Martial to demote people, esp at LTC / COL level... Go MAJ very good already, usually go all the way to Private one, esp if need to go DB. So for molest no jail? or settle out of court (then get charged for simple misconduct nia)?

SINGAPORE, Jan 8 — A high-ranking army officer has been brought before a tribunal for alleged misconduct under military law.

His alleged offence is believed to involve a female subordinate, although the exact nature of what happened is unknown for now.

Lieutenant-Colonel Frederick Teo Li-Wei, 33, a deputy director in the Defence Ministry’s defence policy office, appeared before a subordinate military court at the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) Court Martial Centre in Choa Chu Kang Way yesterday.

No charges were read out at the hearing. His lawyers asked for the court martial to be adjourned for three weeks to give them time to make legal representations to the military prosecutor.

The Straits Times understands that the defence team will use the time to discuss the charges with the prosecution.

The Defence Ministry declined to comment on the case or the legal proceedings.

Three senior SAF officers presided over yesterday’s proceedings.

The panel was headed by Colonel Soh Cheow Guan, the commanding officer of the Republic of Singapore Navy 188 Squadron.

Lt-Col Teo appeared stoic while in the dock. The infantry-trained officer was wearing his No 3 army uniform — olive green trousers and a paler olive green short-sleeved shirt.

The former Hwa Chong Junior College student was part of a four-man team which represented Singapore in the World Schools Debating Championships in 1995. He then snagged an SAF scholarship and studied in Oxford University.

He is the highest-ranking SAF officer to be brought before a military court for offences related to dealings with female subordinates since 2000.

At that time, Colonel Low Wye Mun, then the Army’s Chief Medical Officer, admitted making sexual advances towards a married female subordinate.

For his offence, he was demoted to the rank of major and lost more than S$325,000 in retirement benefits.

Under the SAF Act, anyone found guilty of cruel, indecent or disgraceful conduct can be jailed up to two years. — The Straits Times
