What MiDAS League is All about?
MIDAS LEAGUE
INTRODUCTION
Recipients of the Minister for Defence Awards are inducted into the prestigious MiDAs (Minister for Defence Awards) League for a 5-year tenure.This league is structured along the lines of alumni and members are viewed as MINDEF/SAF's role models for other companies. They serve as advocates of national defence for others to emulate.
AGENDA
A new MiDAs logo symbolises the inaugural Minister for Defence Awards League (MiDAs) League members and acts to better enhance the prestige of the league.
RATIONALE
The five arrows in the logo represent the 5 aspects of Total Defence, namely Military, Civil, Economic, Social and Psychological Defence. The five arrows point up in the same upward direction. This signifies a concerted effort towards a common objective, to safeguard the progress and future of Singapore, a task that can only be accomplished through co-operation between SAF and the civilian corporations.The outline of the logo is significant for the following reasons:The "L" shaped outline of the logo represents the "L" in League, hence making up the name of the award, MiDAs League. More importantly, the "L" shaped outline symbolises the values which the inaugurated members of the league possess, that of Leadership and Loyalty. These are the very qualities which MINDEF acknowledges, and thus the League members will serve as role models for other companies to emulate and will serve as MINDEF's advocate for employer support towards National Service.The curvature of the arrow represents the long-standing co-operation between the civilian companies and the SAF, and the movement of the arrows upwards signifies not only progress, but excellence, in the common goal of strengthening commitment to National ServiceApart from representing the 5 aspects of Total Defence, it also symbolizes a hand, which incorporates the idea of action, unity and completeness. Clearly, Total Defence is deficient if any of the five 'fingers' are missing. The three arrows in the words "M" and "A" represents the tri-service element of the SAF, the Army, Air Force and the Navy.The colours of red and orange are elements from the MINDEF crest.Taken as a whole, the logo symbolizes all members (employers and civil resource owners) doing what they can to distinguish themselves not only as leaders, but also strong advocates of national defence.MIDAS
