SINGAPORE- From April, operationally ready national servicemen going overseas for an extended period only need to apply for an exit permit for trips of 12 months of longer, compared to six months now.
Mr Heng also gave updates on the ministry’s various efforts to better deploy servicemen across the SAF given low fertility rates and shrinking cohorts of full-time national servicemen . Among them are ME4 Benjamin Rezel, a 42-year-old who climbed the ranks at Neptune Orient Lines from cadet to chief engineer to his current role as vessel manager.

But he did not hesitate to agree when the Navy asked if he would extend his reservist period for another 10 years, under the Expertise Deployment Scheme. The SAF has also expanded its Work-Learn Schemes for NSFs who want to gain academic qualifications while contributing to the defence of Singapore.
