THE former Chief of Staff of the Indonesian Air Force, Air Chief Marshal Herman Prayitno, received the Meritorious Service Medal (Military) from Minister for Defence, Teo Chee Hean, at the Ministry of Defence (Mindef) on Friday morning.

Mindef said ACM Prayitno was decorated to recognise his 'outstanding contributions to enhancing the excellent ties between the Indonesian Air Force and the Republic of Singapore Air Force during his tenure'.

The ministry noted that longstanding and close cooperation between the two air forces grew 'from strength to strength' during his tenure.

As part of his visit, ACM Prayitno called on Mr Teo, Chief of Defence Force Lieutenant-General Desmond Kuek, and Chief of Air Force Major-General Ng Chee Khern.
