Central to the OCTs\u2019 National Service (NS) experience is their indoctrination in SPF\u2019s core values of courage, integrity, loyalty and fairness. And DAC (NS) Lok is convinced that these qualities will eventually lead to gravitas in professional settings. In fact, the sales director at an IT company has noted potential employers\u2019 keen interest in his SPF association. \u201cThey see my service as a sign that I can be trusted and have a good chance of attaining success,\u201d he asserts. \u201cThey also tend to be quite curious about what life is like for those in blue,\u201d said the single professional.<\/p><p>Excelling in his duties in the Force entails having a close and well-functioning relationship with his Commander, DAC (NS) Patrick Fung, who is three years his senior. This bond, according to DAC (NS) Lok, is rooted in trust, communication and support. \u201cBoth parties should also be willing to learn from each other,\u201d he shares. He is particularly inspired by his superior\u2019s ability to lead by example.\u00a0 \u201cMr Fung is one of the few commanders in his 50s who can still clock in at under 10 minutes for his 2.4km run. I\u2019m not quite there yet, but it\u2019s my goal to emulate his success,\u201d says DAC (NS) Lok. It also helps that the experienced leader is armed with a wealth of knowledge that guides the parameters within which his teams operate. \u201cMr Fung explains guidelines and laws in an easy-to-understand manner, which makes us better policemen.\u201d<\/p><p><!--StartFragment--><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1b47deb elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1b47deb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/corpstaging.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Realrun-2019.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-31597\" alt=\"DAC (NS) Lok Weng Hoe (far right) with his fellow Home Team NSmen.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/corpstaging.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Realrun-2019.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/corpstaging.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Realrun-2019-300x146.jpg 300w, https:\/\/corpstaging.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Realrun-2019-1024x497.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/corpstaging.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Realrun-2019-768x373.jpg 768w, https:\/\/corpstaging.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Realrun-2019-1200x583.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">DAC (NS) Lok Weng Hoe (far right) with his fellow Home Team NSmen.<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8be551f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8be551f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>A LONG AND REWARDING JOURNEY<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-21b3626 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"21b3626\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>At present, DAC (NS) Lok wants to play his part in nurturing the next generation of leaders at SPF.

For Police National Servicemen (PNSmen), it\u2019s not just about capabilities but we also recognise those who have the commitment to serve and grow as leaders, despite the other hats they wear at home and at work.\u201d This may involve enrolling in the Volunteer Extension Scheme for PNSmen to serve beyond their statutory age.<\/p><p>Continued service in the Force might seem like a daunting-task, especially if you consider the mandatory 10-year Operationally Ready National Service (ORNS) training cycle for most NS men.

However, once things settle down you might have more bandwidth to give back,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s very rewarding to know that you can continue to serve Singapore even in your later years.\u201d<\/p><p><!--StartFragment--><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e6fce89 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"e6fce89\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-573e73b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"573e73b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); letter-spacing: -0.015em;\">Interested in serving beyond your obligations?
