Committee of Supply 2024 debate, Day 2: Lim Biow Chuan on support for NS and the role of ACCORD
In Parliament on Thursday (Feb 29), MP Lim Biow Chuan called for more to be done to help full-time National Servicemen (NSFs) feel that their time spent in NS is for the right purpose and that they have benefited from their stint. He asked what more the Ministry of Defence can do to reinforce the importance of NS among Singaporeans and in particular, new citizens. He also wanted to know if the Advisory Council on Community Relations in Defence (ACCORD) can play a bigger part. This includes supporting pre-enlistees and their families, and helping NSFs make the transition out of NS.
