Caring Hearts - MINDS at SAFTI MI

Despite the sudden downpour over SAFTI Military Institute (MI), our friends' spirits could not be dampened. Working with the Movement for the Intellectually Disabled of Singapore (MINDS), SAF Advanced Schools (SAS) hosted a group of intellectually disabled people at SAFTI MI. Organised by our Full-time National Servicemen, the visitors were treated to a tour of SAFTI MI and enjoyed a series of activities that were planned. While the visitors had an informative and enjoyable session, it was not entirely a one-sided learning experience as our soldiers learnt just as much from them through the interaction!

Guests were also given an opportunity to interact with the Commanders and Instructors of the School, to know more about the Cadets' training, conducts and what they could expect their sons and daughters to go through in the upcoming months.

SAF Day Parade 2018

"Singaporeans can take pride that our steady investments over the years into building a defence capability have paid off. Today, we have that confidence that the SAF can be called upon to defend Singapore and keep Singaporeans safe. That confidence arises not only because of modern armaments and platforms, but most importantly because SAF soldiers, mainly NSmen, are ready and prepared to defend our peace and way of life." Minister for Defence, Dr Ng Eng Hen in his SAF Day Message.

Pointer Journal Vol.44 No.4 [2018]

We mark the end of 2018 with our final issue of the year, Pointer Vol. 44, No. 4. As we wind down and celebrate the festivities with our loved ones, we bear in mind the varied events that have happened, both globally and locally and the impact they have on us—whether it is the security threat from the ever-present terrorist danger that menaces us, to the increasingly sinister attacks in the cyber domain and false news, to trade wars that all have serious impact on Singapore as a whole.
