  At the Committee of Supply Debates, Minister for Defence Dr Ng Eng Hen announced that he would chair a Committee to Strengthen National Service (CSNS).

  In order to capture a broad spectrum of views and perspectives on NS, the CSNS comprises a Steering Committee of 20 members from a variety of backgrounds and experiences. The CSNS will recommend measures to strengthen NS as the critical institution for Singapore’s continued survival and success. A strong defence and security protects our sovereignty and way of life. The measures should further:

  1. Motivate National Servicemen to give of their fullest in performing their duties;
  2. Help National Serviceman balance these duties with family, career and personal commitments;
  3. Strengthen support for NS from families, employers, schools, permanent residents, new citizens and the broader community; and
  4. Promote recognition and appreciation of the contributions of National Servicemen. 
     

  Want to make a real difference in the National Service experience? Do take a moment to share with us your feedback on how to strengthen National Service. You can also take part in an online discussion on how you can contribute in a meaningful manner to strengthen National Service.

  The CSNS is expected to submit its recommendation proposal due in the middle or later this year, 2014.
