Master Sergeant (MSG) is the highest non-commissioned officer (known as Specialist in Singapore) rank in the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF), ranking just above Staff Sergeant (SSG). The MSG rank insignia is 3 up pointing chevrons, 3 down pointing chevrons, and a Singapore coat of arms in the middle.
MSGs, being the most senior Specialists in the SAF, play an important role in guiding young soldiers along. They usually hold senior Specialist positions. MSGs are also not usually addressed as "Sergeant", which would be reducing their rank, but as "Encik" (Malay term of respect).
