Childhood cancer survivor becomes community care provider under job redesign initiative

SINGAPORE - When he was 14, Iylia Haidhar Zulkepli found a tumour in his neck. It turned out to be stage 3 cancer. He then had to undergo intense rounds of chemotherapy and radiotherapy over a month. It took the Secondary 2 student three months to fully regain his health. But what stayed with him was how well the healthcare staff took care of him, and he emerged from his ordeal with a better understanding of how stressful - yet worthwhile - healthcare jobs can really be. Mr Iylia, now 30, works as a community care associate at Ren Ci Hospital, having joined in March.

This is the opening scene of a video posted by the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) on Monday (Jan 11) and sets the theme for its latest recruitment campaign: The way friends and family often react to news of a loved one signing on with the maritime force. "We really wanted to tell people that it's not crazy to join the navy, if you understand our mission, our ideas and all the things that we do to ensure the safety, security and sovereignty of this country," said Colonel Ho Jee Kien, who heads the RSN's personnel department. The action-packed, cinematic advertisement can be viewed on the RSN's social media channels. It will be complemented by shorter clips on different navy vocations that will be progressively rolled out over the course of the year. They form part of a new recruitment campaign seeking to appeal to Generation Z, or those born from the mid-1990s. But the RSN also aims to attract applications across the board, from Singaporeans who are either students, pre-enlistees to national service, full-...
