The Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) and the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) take a serious view on the unauthorised sale of any part of our uniform. Servicemen are advised to procure their personal equipment from authorised sources like the SAF eMart or from the official online eMart website which can be found on the NS portal.
