Happy Father’s Day to all our NSmen Dads out there! If you look closely at the custom mug, you’ll know these men are built different. They’ve traded their field packs for diaper bags, but the operational readiness remains at 100%.

​Being an NSman Dad means managing a screaming toddler with the exact same stoic patience you use when your Encik starts the exercise briefing. It means executing diaper changes with precise “Field Discipline”!

​To the men who have survived Tekong, survived ICT, and are now surviving the ultimate high-key operation ...parenting on 3 hours of sleep—we salute you. Thank you for your service, bro! Good job training up the next batch of defenders and the best cheerleading supporter to handle his welfare.

"In many ways, becoming a father has helped me better understand both my dad and the importance of defending our nation for future generations. The quiet support he gave me during my NS days continues to shape how I support my own children today, and it reminds me that sometimes the greatest lessons are taught not through words, but through actions.”

Fatherhood is often defined not by grand gestures, but by the quiet moments of guidance, sacrifice and unwavering support that shape who we become. For many Singaporean sons, some of the most valuable lessons from their fathers extend beyond the home and into National Service, where resilience, resp...

As a Gen Z viewer with no prior attachment to the franchise, I never expected to enjoy the film as much as I did. Yet by the end, I completely understood why Eternia has remained beloved for decades. Whether you're a lifelong fan or a newcomer like me, Masters of the Universe offers a fun, heartfelt adventure that's well worth the trip to the cinema.

My only knowledge of Masters of the Universe came from my dad. Growing up, he introduced me to the cartoons he loved as a child and would often talk fondly about the heroes he looked up to. While I had heard of He-Man, I had never actually experienced the world of Eternia for myself.

Toy Story 5 opens in Shaw Theatres and other cinemas on 18 June 2026.

SAFRA and MovieMax members were treated to over 300 pairs of free tickets to Toy Story 5 in a movie contest giveaway. Thank you to all members who took part and congratulations to those who won! If you missed this giveaway, watch out for other movie ticket contests and giveaways on our website.

Growing up, I had a toy that reminded me very much of the frog-shaped gadget featured in the animated film. It wasn’t as sophisticated as Lilypad, of course. Mine was a chunky electronic toy with flashing buttons, simple games and cheerful sound effects that seemed incredibly advanced at the time....

Not all conversations are about today.

Some are about the Singapore we want to leave behind.

At a recent WHAT NEXT? workshop, SAFRA members joined fellow veterans in a thoughtful exchange of perspectives, reflecting on what truly matters for the next 30 years.

From trust and unity, to leadership and compassion, one message stood out. The future we hope for doesn’t happen by chance. It is shaped by the values we choose to live out today.

Our appreciation to Mr Lim Siong Guan for accepting the invitation to speak and for guiding such a meaningful dialogue.

Proudly organised by the SAF Veterans’ League, this session was more than a conversation. It was a reminder of the role every NSman continues to play, long after service.

Built by NSFs, for NSFs.

Meet Ryan Jee and Jonas Wu, who transformed their everyday NS challenges —staying fit, managing finances and navigating the journey — into ORD+, an app built to help fellow NSFs manage it all.

This is their story.

The ORD+ app is still in development and opened to funding initiatives. Contact Ryan Jee at [email protected] if you are interested to find out more or to discuss possibilities of sponsorship or collaboration.
