Safra Singapore is having their Appreciating NSmen Video Competition 2023. Join Appreciating NSmen Video Competition 2023.
National Servicemen play a vital role in Singapore’s defence and security, enabling Singapore to enjoy continued peace, stability and economic progress. They give their time and commitment to undergo the rigours of training to keep their loved ones, our community and Singapore safe.
