He delivered a speech so moving it sent tears rolling down the camouflaged faces of the recruits and won the hearts of YouTube viewers who posted their comments online.
In the latest episode of the Mindef-produced series, Every Singaporean Son, platoon commander Lieutenant Shamsul Haron, 22, addresses the recruits at the end of their field camp training, which is the most gruelling part of Basic Military Training (BMT).
He motivates them by saying: "It has been an honour for the commanders to train you...We have seen how tough you are." <TABLE border=0 cellSpacing=3 cellPadding=0 width=300 align=right><TBODY><TR><TD><!-- Copyright DoubleClick Inc., All rights reserved. --><!-- This code was autogenerated @ Mon Apr 05 03:43:56 EDT 2010 --></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
He ends the speech by saying: "You are no longer a boy, you are a man. You are trained soldiers, gentlemen."
In the video clip, some of the recruits are seen shedding tears during his speech.
The series is shown on Mindef's YouTube channel, cyberpioneerTV. It is targeted not only at national servicemen and those about to be enlisted, but also their family members.
One netizen wrote to say he hope that Mr Shamsul could be his platoon commander. Another wrote to praise his speech, saying it was motivating. Mr Shamsul, who completed his full-time national service, said: "I'm happy to read the comments. My friends who saw the video also contacted me to say they liked my speech."
