SINGAPORE: National servicemen (NSmen) will receive discounts at hundreds of hawker stalls, restaurants and shops for the next two months, the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) announced on Saturday (Jun 29).
The discounts, which will run from SAF Day on Jul 1 to Aug 31, are part of the “We Support NS” campaign launched by the ACCORD Family and Community Council.
