Response to The Straits Times Forum Letter on ''NS graduation''

5 October 2011

Provisions are available for refreshments at ceremonies and parades

We thank Ms Ng Beng Choo for her feedback in the forum letter dated 1 Oct 2011 titled “NS graduation”.

Following Ms Ng’s feedback, the Air Force Training Command has looked into the matter. It has informed its unit responsible for organising the graduation ceremony that it should have utilised MINDEF provisions made available for refreshments at such events instead of collecting payment from the invited guests. We are sorry for this error. We appreciate Ms Ng’s and other parents’ continued support for the graduation ceremony.
