3rd DIVISION  TREĆA DIVIZIJA

      Tamnocrvena boja simbolizira hrabrost, pouzdanost, agresivnost a to su vrijednosti koje se mogu naći kod pripadnika 3. divizije. Tigar, simbol žestine i agresivnosti, predstavlja duh najstarije singapurske divizije. Tigrov lik priziva u misli stvorenje koje je brzo, pouzdano, a u svojim borbama zadržava ponos i nadmoćnu hrabrost. Ove se kvalitete mogu naći u srcima i dušama najodabranijih vojnika. 21.03. 1991. divizija je formirana kao mješovita, a 1995. slijedi reorganizacija koju karakterizira spajanje profesionalnih i rezervnih jedinica u sadašnju Treću diviziju. Znak iz moje kolekcije više nije u upotrebi.

      Maroon Colour  symbolises valour, courage, confidence and aggressiveness, all of which are found in members of 3 Div  The Tiger is a symbol that embodies aggressiveness and ferocity, personifies the spirit of Singapore's oldest Division. The tiger brings to mind an image of a fast, reliable and regal creature, one that will fight to the end for the noblest of causes while holding itself with a pride born of indomitable courage. These qualities are found in the hearts and spirit of the most admirable soldiers.3rd Singapore Division was formed as the first Combined Arms Division in the SAF on 21 Mar 1991. On 4 January 1995, the Division was reorganised, marking the integration of NS and full-time units into 3rd Division.

6th DIVISION ŠESTA DIVIZIJA

      Crno-zlatna kobra sa ove oznake predstavlja sposobnost divizijinog brzog udara i onesposobljavanja neprijatelja smrtonosnom snagom. I moto divizije "Brzo i smrtonosno" (Swift and deadly) iskazuje te kvalitete. Ovaj simbol služi i kao stalni podsjetnik pripadnicima divizije u izgradnji i obuci kako bi bili brzi u mobilizaciji i smrtonosni u protuudaru smrtonosnom silom u obrani svojih sugrađana i države. Znak koji se vidi na ovoj strani je izmijenjen i danas više nije u upotrebi.

      Black and Gold Cobra represents ability to strike swiftly and immobilise enemies with deadly force. Division motto "Swift and Deadly" captures these qualities. It inspires active personnel and NSmen to train and fight hard. In particular, it serves as a constant reminder to the servicemen to build a credible force that will mobilise swiftly and retaliate with deadly force to protect their fellow citizens and nation.

9th DIVISION DEVETA DIVIZIJA

      Crna pantera predstavlja dobar znak. Njene zelene oči vide i u mraku, a po prirodi je žestoki napadač. Oštri, iskeženi zubi simboliziraju smrtonosni ugriz. Službeno,  deveta divizija je oformljena 01. 10. 1978. kao rezervna divizija. Od skromnih početaka, divizija je rasla i razvijala se, do 17. 08. 2004. godine kada je pretvorena u Devetu pješadijsku diviziju. To znači da sada Deveta, osim normalnih zadataka mješovite armijske divizije ima i zadaću efikasnog obučavanja pješadijskih jedinica za učešće u zajedničkim operacijama. I ovaj je znak izmijenjen, tako da u kolekciji posjedujem samo stari znak.

      Black Panther, a black cat, is seen as a good sign. Its green eyes represent its prowess in the dark of the night. By nature, the panther is fierce and aggressive when it attacks. The sharp fangs symbolise its deadly bites. The dashing panther symbolises the momentum and strength of the division surging forward to boldly embrace the challenges ahead. 9 Div was officially formed on 1 Oct 1978 as a 'Reserves' Division. It has a humble beginning in a quiet cluster of buildings at Loewen Rd Camp in Tanglin. However, as the formation grew in strength and numbers over the years, a move to new premises soon became necessary as the expanding division quickly outgrew its Tanglin headquarters. 17th August 2004 marks the birth of a new entity, 9th Singapore Division and Infantry Formation. Besides being a regular combined arms division, it is also responsible for the efficient generation and training of infantry units for the army order of battle.

PEOPLES DEFENCE FORCE  NARODNA OBRANA

     Zlatni lav, simbol hrabrosti i snage, legendaran je po svojoj agilnosti i energiji. Od usvojenja ovog znaka 1928. godine, postaje sveznani narodni simbol za Singapurski dobrovoljački korpus (SVC), za sve borce koji su se odazvali u obrani Singapura. Lav je veoma česta figura u arhitekturi i stoji kao "stražar" pred mnogim važnim institucijama. Sa rastom i jačanjem korpusa, lav je promijenio izgled i predstavlja se u pokretu. Sa tri šape na zemlji, a prednjom, desnom ispruženom,otvorenih ralja, ričući  simbolizira napad. lav svojom rikom nagovještava obranu svojeg teritorija ili mladunaca. Lav predstavlja i poginule pripadnike korpusa. Tamnoplava boja podsjeća na dužnosti u obrani suvereniteta, sigurnosti i opstanka nacije.

      The Golden Lion - a symbol of courage and power, renowned for its vigour and energy, legendary for its strength and agility. Since its dramatic entry into the Singapore Volunteer Corps (SVC) in 1928, it has become an icon for the people who answered the call to arms, the call to defend Singapore. The Lion stands guard in the architecture of many prominent institutions today just as the "statant" lion symbolised the roles of guardians played by the SVC then. Just as the SVC has grown in stature and rejuvenated as the People's Defence Force (PDF), the lion has become a passant lion - walking with, three paws on the ground, dexter paw raised, tail curved over the back and head looking forward, roaring. Whenever it roars, the lion is known to return to its den and protect its brethren. The lion in defence serves to honour the lion who took on the mission to defend their homeland - a united people who laid the foundation from which the Singapore Armed Forces grew.

Prva oklopna jedinica, poznata kao 41 SAR (singapurska oklopna regimenta) formirana je u Keat Hong garnizonu.

This is result of a closely knitted organisation practising a people-oriented leadership style.
