It was an evening filled with cheers and felicitations at the 15th SAFRA Awards 2019, which celebrated the spirit of volunteerism.
Held on 26 Sep at the newly renovated SAFRA Mount Faber, it was graced by Dr Ng Eng Hen, Minister for Defence and Chairman, SAFRA Board of Governors, and Dr Mohamad Maliki Bin Osman, President of SAFRA, Senior Minister of State (Defence).
Held in recognition of SAFRA volunteers, interest groups and corporate partners for their contributions to SAFRA, National Service Resort and Country Club and So Drama! Entertainment, the biennial event also honours individuals who have excelled in the fields of culture, art and sports with the Performance Awards.
The evening kicked off with a keynote speech by Dr Ng, who reminded all of SAFRA’s role: Over and beyond providing country club facilities to NSmen and their families, SAFRA’s highest mission is to be part of the larger and critical national effort to build the right ethos for Singapore’s armed forces, as well as the national spirit to defend the country.
