SAF Card Eases Identification of Active Military Status

15 June 2019

We refer to Mr Goh Kian Huat's letter, "Why keep ICs of military personnel?" published on 10 Jun 2019, and thank Mr Goh for his feedback.

The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) Card issued to all Full-Time National Servicemen in exchange for their NRIC allows quick identification of all military personnel in units and during mobilisation. It further underscores that as holders of the SAF card, they should be conscious of their bearing and responsibilities as active military servicemen, even when they are not in uniform.
