Response to The Straits Times Forum Letter on "Give NS pioneers more Safra discounts"

18 December 2011

This article has been migrated from an earlier version of the site and may display formatting inconsistencies.


We refer to the letter, “Give NS pioneers more Safra discounts”, by Mr Francis Cheng, dated 4 Dec 2011.
We would like to thank Mr Cheng for his feedback and his continuous support towards SAFRA. Aimed at recognising the contributions of NSmen towards National Defence, SAFRA membership offers a comprehensive slate of benefits to cater to the lifestyle needs of members through five clubs and a host of privileges at over 700 establishments island-wide ranging from F&B, entertainment, enrichment, sports and fitness, among others. 

While SAFRA’s core constituents are active NSmen, the SAFRA membership is a privilege to all Singaporean male citizens who have served national service.  As such, the same benefits are extended to all members regardless of membership type. In keeping with the spirit of constantly looking at ways to increase and enhance our range of benefits and offerings to suit different lifestyle needs, we will consider Mr Cheng’s suggestion for the new work year. We hope that other former NSmen and NS pioneers will also join the SAFRA family to enjoy the host of membership benefits and offerings available.
