Rallying behind the Guardians of Our Skies

Braving the sweltering mid-morning heat, employers of RSAF NSmen visited the Singapore Airshow 2020 on 13 February 2020 to get a better understanding of the RSAF, its capabilities and the important role that RSAF NSmen play in protecting Singapore’s skies.

The visit was organised by the National Service Directorate (NSD) and hosted by the RSAF.  Besides being treated to an  awe-inspiring aerial display by the RSAF’s F-15SG and AH-64D Apache Helicopters which showcased the capability of the RSAF as ever ready guardians of our skies, employers also had the opportunity to interact with RSAF personnel and get up close with some of the RSAF’s assets at the Static Display.  Employers also learnt more about the A330 Multi-Role Tanker Transport (MRTT) and the Heron 1 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle.

Having seen the assets and gaining a better appreciation of RSAF’s operations, the employers expressed greater confidence in the RSAF’s capability to defend the sovereignty of our nation. One employer, Mr Rishdal Singh, a Manufacturing Engineer with Rolls Royce Singapore Pte Ltd, shared, 

“Understanding that the defence of our nation is a shared responsibility;   for our NSmen to be able to support the nation, employers must continue to support our NSmen.”

Echoing the sentiment on the need for everyone to play their part, some employers were also inspired to pledge their support for NS and their NSmen through the NS Mark Accreditation scheme.
