Would just like to comment that the Laju incident which as credited as an occasion where Singapores Commando SOF completed their successfull mission is not exactly so  The incident which occured between Jan and Feb  triggered off the realisation that Singapore needed to put in place a counter terrorist force for emergencies like the Laju incident As such the force couldnt have exist during the incident  It was the members of the police force who served as voluntary hostages and  police negotiators not the militarys Special Operations Force which helped defuse the crisis
