Building Singapore’ s

Defence

• By Rolan Benedict Widarbrata

 National Service

NS is a mandatory conscription and duty that every male citizen must undertake
upon attaining the age of 18. NS can be served in the Singapore Armed Forces
(SAF), Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) and Singapore Police Force
(SPF).
Two reasons why national service is important.

1. It would not have been possible to raise a regular force of a sufficient size to protect the country given our small population.
2. It will help your son to be physically fit.
 Why do you need to send your son for
enlistment?

National Service can help your son to develop skills such as leadership, teamwork and
discipline.
Thank You.
