"content": " Thank you. I beg to move that the New Clause 36A be now read a Second Time. As you may recall, we previously had the Armed Forces Canteen Organisation (AFCO). This was an entity responsible for supplying goods and services to our esteemed men and women in uniform. However, this has since changed to the Defence Forces Welfare Services. This is in line with the amendments we made to the Tax (Amendment) Laws in December. They now stipulate that goods and services provided to our defence forces are exempt from taxes. This exemption includes accommodation, dining, beauty salons and laundry services offered by the Defence Forces Welfare Services. By doing this, we aim to continue incentivising these dedicated individuals who devote their lives to serving our nation. Furthermore, Clause 36 also provides for the manufacture of mosquito repellents."
