Commemorating 40 Years of
National Service |
|
|
Minister for Defence Teo Chee Hean launched
NS40, a series of events to commemorate 40 Years of National Service, at
Ngee Ann City Civic Plaza this afternoon (12 Apr 2007). |
|
NS40 commemorates the contributions of the
more than 700,000 National Servicemen who have served or who are still
actively serving in the SAF, the SPF and the SCDF. |
|
The theme of NS40 is "Defending Our Home,
Securing Our Future". It reflects the critical role that National
Service has played in making the SAF an effective deterrent force and in
helping the SPF and SCDF make Singapore one of the safest places in the
world to live. |
|
The theme also underlines the central role
that National Service plays in Singapore's defence and security, which
is the foundation for our continued prosperity and progress as an
independent nation. |
