Chan Chun Sing on updated NS medical grading system
The changes to the NS medical grading system from 2027 are not to tackle current or future manpower issues, Minister for Defence Chan Chun Sing said on Monday (Apr 13). Under the updated system, pre-enlistees will receive three sets of information — their medical fitness for service, medical exemptions and eligibility for an eight-week reduction in NS duration — instead of a broad PES status.

“All these allow our people to fulfil their potential and actually allow them to do what they are most suited for,” he said. Mr Chan added that the concepts of combat-fit, non-combat fit and frontline units have been superseded by technologies and warfighting concepts as the nature of warfare evolves.
