| 4.24 Finally, I want to recognise
the many contributions of our national servicemen,
and the heavy sacrifices that they have made.
They safeguard Singapore’s survival and
security, which are the pre-conditions for our
economic success and growth. In the past, we have
recognised their contributions through the recommendations
of the RECORD committees. We have also given NSmen
more in surplus sharing exercises, such as in
CPF top-ups and the allocation of New Singapore
Shares and Economic Restructuring Shares. NSmen
and their parents and spouses are also eligible
for tax reliefs.
