Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 2: Henry Kwek on maximising contributions of NSmen
Every generation of Singaporeans has served National Service (NS), and every generation deserves to know that their time in uniform is used to its fullest. Are national servicemen (NSmen) being meaningfully deployed and are the skills they bring being optimised? MP Henry Kwek raised these questions in parliament on Friday (Feb 27). He wanted to know how the Ministry of Defence is strengthening its identification and deployment of enlistees’ capabilities so that NS becomes not just a duty fulfilled, but a period of genuine contribution to Singapore’s defence.
