Measures in Place for Enlistees for Exam Results Day
15 October 2017
This article has been migrated from an earlier version of the site and may display formatting inconsistencies.
We refer to the letter by Mr Khong Kiong Seng on the scheduling of NS enlistment ("Solve annual NS enlistment date scheduling conflict", 11 Oct 2017).
For major examinations, MINDEF grants enlistees time-off from training to receive their results, or allows them to enlist after receiving their results.
MINDEF also strives to give pre-enlistees and their families sufficient lead time before their enlistment, by sending enlistment notices early. In some cases, when school results dates are only finalised later, affected pre-enlistees will receive a second enlistment notice with an adjusted date, as in the case for Mr Khong's son.
MINDEF will continue to work closely with the schools to de-conflict enlistment dates with the results release dates for major examinations, so as to avoid situations where enlistment dates need to be adjusted.
