| 4.25 The Fourth RECORD committee
chaired by Minister Ng Eng Hen has recommended
that we give more to NSmen in this year’s
surplus-sharing exercise. The 40th
Anniversary of National Service is approaching.
One and a half generations of male Singaporeans
have served NS. 400,000 have completed their full
time and Operationally Ready National Service
(ORNS) training cycle, and handed on their duties
to the current batches of NSmen. To show our gratitude
to these ex-NSmen and NSmen who have completed
their ORNS training cycle, we will give them a
40th Anniversary NS Bonus of $400.
4.26 National servicemen who are still serving,
either in the full time or ORNS units, and have
not yet completed their ORNS training cycle, will
receive a 40th Anniversary NS Bonus of $100.
4.27 The 40th Anniversary NS Bonus
will be paid on 1 May 2006. It will cost the Government
$200 million.
