Hundreds of friends and family members bade farewell to Second Lieutenant Clifton Lam Jia Hao as he was given a military funeral on Sunday.

Lam died on Wednesday while undergoing jungle training in Brunei.

It was a send-off befitting the dreams and aspiration of Lam, whose life was cut short so unexpectedly.

Friends said Lam had dreamt of being a pilot since he was 13.

As a symbolic gesture, the Republic of Singapore Air Force awarded Lam his pilot wings - posthumously.

In the send-off at the Mandai Crematorium, his coffin, draped in the national flag, was carried by his brothers-in-arms. And a final volley shattered the peaceful Sunday afternoon in honour of a comrade lost.

Family and friends remember Lam for his caring ways.

Lin Zhi Sheng, a full-time NSman, said, "Every time I got bullied, he would stand up for me. He was a very good friend..."
