Foo Mee Har:
Such a special day in our lives: Accompanying my son to Basic Military Training Camp (BMTC) in Pulau Tekong. The visit was such a reassurance to families - a truly professional approach to preparing our young sons for the defence of our nation. Progressive training, customized clothing, safety procedures, lightweight equipment, even the food is well planned and nutritious. The very fact that parents are now invited to see the BMTC environment speaks volumes for the openness of the SAF, and their desire to involve family and friends of NSmen in this crucial 'rite of passage' they must undergo. I am proud of all these boys & wish them well, as they undertake this journey together, to grow into men. I'll miss my son when he is away from home, but am happy that he'll make new and close friendships that will last a lifetime; just as his father did in his NS days. —
