The S in IC does no represent Singapore. It's a alphabet to denote a century. If I am not wrong people born on or after 2000 starts with a T.Originally posted by LazerLordz:Should be two,since PR's NRIC also begins with a "S".So the colour code is a differentiation too.

The old military IC has a document number and it's 11B...Originally posted by Luc85:ever wonder why is 11B called 11B? and not something like National Service Identity Card(NSIC)?
Just like signing 1206...that's the document number for the form you fill in when you lose something and have to pay for it... -

vIn.Warrior, do you think that the men in the army have gone through Eton and graduated from Oxford? Alot of them are the Mr Ah Bengs you spoke of...
hmm.
hope it'll convince me.
though i still feel using vulgarities is uneducated, uncivilised and that person definitely has lack of proper usage of English vocabularies.
[b]and it pulls SAF down the drain as it's just like those Mr Ah Bengs in HDB void deck shouting vulgarities. aren't they the same?i dare not think further.
maybe one day SAF should stop this.
not a CORRECT way to lead your men.
prove me wrong?
i'm not sure.

But it's true that the army has a tradition. Officers are supposed to be gentlemen and should NEVER use vulgarities. That sort of language is left to the enciks and the NCOs...it's part of the British class system that we have inherited, although I think the Singapore army is more egalitarian.
