The Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) has announced in a press release that young men serving the National Service (NS) will be able to choose from 33 vocations across the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF), Singapore Police Force (SPF), and Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) starting from November 2017.

Earlier in March 2013, The Committee to Strengthen NS (CSNS) was set up to examine how the National Service (NS) system could be strengthened for the future, to better serve Singapore and Singaporeans. Later in June 2014, the Government accepted the 30 recommendations proposed by the Committee.

Currently, National Servicemen (NSFs) are deployed to vocations based on several considerations. The manpower and operational requirements of the SAF, SCDF and SPF, as well as an individual’s physical fitness and suitability to perform the requisite tasks of each vocation are among the considerations. These factors will remain the main considerations. However, pre-enlistees who would be going for pre-enlistment medical screening from the end of this year will also have their interests taken into consideration.

NS enlistment is carried out over four quarterly intakes starting in November, February, May and August.

Starting from November 2016, the first cohort of pre-enlistees will be asked to indicate their vocation interest when they report at the Central Manpower Base (CMPB) for their pre-enlistment procedures. Once they have completed their basic training in the SAF, SCDF or SPF, they would receive their vocation posting.

The statement said that the vocations available in the SAF, SCDF and SPF will be organised into seven categories; three in the SAF with a total of 15 vocations, and two in the SCDF with a total of eight vocations, and two in the SPF with a total of ten vocations.

Pre-enlistees can indicate their interest in two or more vocations from each category. They would also have an option to indicate that they have no specific interest amongst the vocations.

Further information on the 33 NS vocations will be accessible on the CMPB website from 11 September 2016.

自新西兰澳洲部分城市起飞 即起可在樟宜机场过境

新加坡航空宣布,即日起乘搭该公司、胜安航空及酷航,从澳大利亚和新西兰部分城市起飞的班机,将可以通过樟宜机场过境。 新航今日(6月11日)在脸书帖文,分享这份好消息,但是过境航班只限于出境行程,从其他地点飞往上述两国的航班则不能在我国过境。 文中所指的城市,包括了澳洲的阿德雷德、布里斯班、墨尔本、珀斯和悉尼,还有新西兰的基督城和奥克兰。 除此之外,新航还提供了三家公司的航班时间表,并表示过境乘客在抵达樟宜机场后,将会和非过境乘客分开,被安置在制定的区域等候。而过境乘客也有可能被直接带到登机口,若他们的过境时间是在75分钟以内。 惟,在登机程序上,过境乘客会先登机,之后才到非过境乘客。着陆下机时则相反,会让非过境乘客先下机。 在飞机上,新航也会将过境乘客和非过境乘客分开区域安置,并且要求乘客在行程中,只能在各自的指定区域内行动。
