Past and present NSmen to get $100 vouchers as part of year-long activities marking 50 years of NS
SINGAPORE - The one million men who have performed their national service (NS) in the last 50 years will each receive $100 in vouchers but the sacrifices made in serving the nation are priceless, says the Ministry of Defence.
On Tuesday (Feb 7), Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen launched an NS50 recognition package to mark 50 years of national service, in which every national serviceman - who has served NS or is serving now - will receive $100 worth of vouchers that can be used at retail and F&B outlets.
Mindef's director of manpower Lee Chung Wei said the vouchers are a token of recognition and can never repay the sacrifices made in serving the nation.
"NS is priceless - you can't put a dollar value to it... If you focus on a dollar value, you are actually cheapening NS," Mr Lee told reporters last Thursday (Feb 2) during a media briefing, ahead of Dr Ng's announcement.
(You can take that priceless shit and shove it up your mother's cunt)
"What we want to achieve this year is for the community to show their appreciation, through their own events," he added.
To this end, August 1 to 10 has been designated NS50 week, during which there will be various activities, such as an NS50-themed picnic in partnership with Families for Life, a non-profit organisation which promotes resilient families.
Singapore Discovery Centre will run bus tours to sites of NS significance, such as Pasir Laba Camp.
