A new full time Aide-de-Camp to the President, ASP Mohamed Redhza Bin Abdul Rahim, will also be appointed at the ceremony. He takes over from ASP Roland Lim Chong Jin who has returned to the Police Force on completion of his two-year tour.

Of the 61 officers appointed as Honorary ADCs, ten are lady officers. Seven of them are from the SAF and three are from the Police Force. Twelve National Servicemen are among the 61 officers appointed. (A breakdown of the Honorary ADCs by services and rank is given below).

The SAF and Police nominate only officers of exemplary conduct and character for appointment to the ADC Corps. Appointed officers must satisfy the stringent criteria set by the President’s Office.

ADCs perform a multitude of tasks as facilitators and personal representatives of the President. They are identifiable by the thick distinctive cords known as "Aiguilettes" worn across their right shoulders. The duties of Hon ADCs range from receiving and ushering dignitaries and guests at Presidential and State functions to receiving and sending off Foreign Heads of State on transit in Singapore. They are also assigned to escort Foreign Heads of State during their official visits to Singapore.
