01:53 Min

How can we do more to involve all Singaporeans in the country's defence, including employers and parents of new citizens, or those who seek deferment of National Service (NS) to pursue sports or further education? MP Zhulkarnain Abdul Rahim posed this question in Parliament on Thursday (Mar 3). He also said the conflict in Ukraine has underscored the importance of ensuring that Singapore never loses its ability to defend itself. He sought updates on efforts by the Advisory Council on Community Relations in Defence (ACCORD) to increase support for NS.
