During the session, both Ivan and Ziqi highlighted how teamwork, discipline, and perseverance shaped their growth, both as individuals and as members of a larger community. Their stories offered students an authentic glimpse into NS life, breaking misconceptions and providing reassurance as they look ahead to their future responsibilities.
Ivan also encouraged students not to fear NS, reminding them that 鈥渋t鈥檚 not punishment, it鈥檚 preparation鈥. He shared that while NS will test them, it will also shape them. With the right mindset, they can grow through every challenge, respect the process, and carry its lessons into life beyond.
Ziqi emphasised that NS is built on pride and purpose, a commitment to protect what we love. He highlighted Singapore鈥檚 advanced defence systems, dedicated soldiers, and strong deterrence efforts, reminding students that every serviceman contributes to the nation鈥檚 safety and stability with honour and responsibility.
