In Singapore, retired senior army officers dun need to have experience in anything but will still be able to parachute into good jobs.
The govt only needs people to keep watch on operational issues and these army officers are perfect for them (not I think, but the govt thinks so).

Last time one of my navy radio operator was engaged in Singapore by US as mercenary RO for service in ME. He came back with one kidney left. 
Confirmed NATO troops are involved masquerade as "mercenaries"
Another Go-pro showing English-speaking troops got ambushed in a kill zone setup by Russians.
These English-speaking troops kenna left right centre with many injured.

You are right about Singapore government taking care of retired armed forces personnel but they have to be of high calibre or high post in the army.
For many like this Taiwanese soldier, his position basically are not that high. Therefore the government will not take care of him or people with his same rank.

These are mercenaries.
They are not entitled to POW treatment.
Once caught by the enemy will report to King of Hell instantly.
They work for $$$ lah, what defending Ukraine’s freedom is BS.
