\"\"With the extension of the Circuit Breaker till 1st June, a total of 2,480 conscripts enlisting for Basic Military Training in Singapore in May 2020 need not show up physically.<\/p>\n

As according to Mothership.sg<\/a>, the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) has announced on April 22 that they are extending its suspension of BMT.<\/p>\n

“They will stay at home until the BMT suspension is lifted, and informed of their new reporting date,” said the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF).<\/p>\n

These pre-enlistees will still be administratively enlisted on their scheduled dates. BMT for recruits were suspended earlier in April. Activities for its operationally ready national servicemen were deferred.<\/p>\n

SAF will follow suit and extend its suspension of activities until June 1. The BMT suspension has affected about 6,250 recruits. Their operationally ready date will not be affected, as their training will be adjusted.<\/p>\n

Training that is critical for the SAF to build up sufficient operational units to respond to threats to Singapore will still continue.<\/p>\n
