SINGAPORE - The volunteers serving with the Ministry of Defence represent the trust within Singapore society, said Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen.
Government leaders and officials have visited Hong Kong periodically for many years, because it is a high-functioning society much like Singapore but organised differently, he said. Dr Ng said he hopes the people of Hong Kong can regain the fortitude and cohesion that they have displayed so often in the past against formidable challenges,"to start and rebuild what has been broken".
He added that their varied expertise, viewpoints and experiences have helped Mindef and the SAF to evolve and meet changing needs and challenges. During the dinner at Regent Hotel, Dr Ng presented certificates of appointment and re-appointment to 53 volunteers.The Corps has more than 800 volunteers to date, including more than 200 permanent residents.
