This is probably the most egoistic ad campaign:
(No other career opportunity can match this.)
I think it’s by the Singapore military or army or whatever since it says ‘The Decisive Force’. Not only does this advertisement say the military is great, they further pointed out that they’re just the best. Hmmmp… Is this supposed to have some sort of psychological effect, making men feel proud enough to join?

To be fair, they didn’t say “match” in a good way or a bad way. So it’s up to you to decide.
by DK (Feb 10, 2008 at 3 PM)Hahaa… That’s true. Well, I know which way it is though -ahem- personal experience, personal experience.
by Mr. Dew (Feb 10, 2008 at 3 PM)Yup that is indeed very egoistic. Shame on them, hehehe

by brian (Feb 11, 2008 at 10 AM)hmm, from the looks of it, i dont think this is an official saf ad.
by malique (Feb 11, 2008 at 11 AM)i don’t know, someone enlighten me?
*nods in agreement with malique*
doesnt look official to me. doesnt look like any of the usual saf ads. haha

On side note, quoted from your link “Possess working knowledge on Web, flash and graphic design for web or eLearning and is experienced in web standard and technology, especially ActionScript, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. Experience in XML and XSL, basic programming using server-side script such as JSP, PHP and database such as MySQL would be an added advantage.”
Wow you sure have to know a hell lot to join.
