"These adorable bears are a heartfelt tribute to the brave men and women who defend Singapore," wrote the SAF Officers Spouses Club.
Details of the bears
The bears can be purchased individually for S$38 or as a set of four for S$148.
Proceeds from the sale will be donated to the SAF Care Fund.
According to its website, the fund is set up to provide additional support to SAF service personnel who are severely disabled due to military service, over and above the Ministry of Defence's existing compensation and welfare frameworks.
