Fact Sheet: NS50 Recognition Package (Annex A)

As part of the NS50 commemorative efforts, the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) and the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) will be introducing an NS50 Recognition Package in 2017. All who have served NS or are serving NS in the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF), the Singapore Police Force (SPF) and the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) will receive the NS50 Recognition Package. This includes those who enlist in the 2017 enlistment cohort.

Eligibility

Every national serviceman will receive $100 worth of vouchers, which can be used to redeem lifestyle privileges. In addition, national servicemen who are currently serving or have served Operationally Ready National Service (ORNS) will be offered a year of SAFRA / HomeTeamNS membership. We hope that this will enable more national servicemen and their families to enjoy the recreational facilities and lifestyle services offered by SAFRA and HomeTeamNS.

National servicemen will be eligible for the NS50 Recognition Package based on their NS status as at 1 Jan 2017. The details are as follows:

NS Status (as at 1 Jan 2017)
