SINGAPORE – I received a notice from the Ministry of Defence (Mindef) requesting that I write a letter to my elder son, who is undergoing basic military training (BMT) for his national service (NS). Apparently, the letter will be given to him during his time in training, when he will be in need of encouragement. This is what I wrote.
