The RSAF achieved something significant in the last workyear. We achieved our first accident-free year since Workyear 2000. The S211 crash on 2 Oct 01 had ended our last zero-accident record. For 6 years in a row since, we have had accidents. But last year, we halted the trend, re-establishing our zero-accident record. There were a few close calls indeed, which we must continue to try to eradicate. But let's give credit where it is due, for many people have put in a lot of hard work to ensure that we had a safe year. No Air Force flies 53,000 hours without accident due to luck. My thanks therefore to the men and women of the RSAF, as well as our partners from Singapore Technologies and Defence Science and Technology Agency. Your efforts have made this zero-accident year possible.
