Committee of Supply 2023 debate, Day 2: Patrick Tay on optimising National Service deployment
The number of full-time national servicemen is projected to decrease as Singapore's total fertility rate continues to slide, said MP Patrick Tay. Speaking in Parliament on Monday (Feb 27), he highlighted concerns that this will pose a significant manpower and structural challenge for the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF). He wanted to know how the Ministry of Defence and SAF are working to ensure that they optimise the development and deployment of national servicemen.
