Could you keep pace with a SPEAR Force operator?

We put that question to the test at a recent Career Fair at Republic Polytechnic, where we challenged students to go head-to-head with SPEAR Force’s operators through a series of physical exercises, across two separate match-ups.

Who won? Watch to find out.

This is what a day in SPEAR Force looks like: the discipline, the fitness, the mindset it takes to be Captain of Lives.

We asked, "How do we GROW stronger together?"

Watch to see how the answers evolved 👀

One thing's for sure, GROWing Together starts with believing in one another, helping each other, and doing it all with love. Growth isn't always a straight line, but everyone still gets there, hand in hand.

Second chances don’t happen alone. 💛

At the CARE Network Summit 2026, we heard inspiring stories of change from desistors Azlinda and Rizwan, who shared honest reflections on their journeys, the support that helped them move forward, and the hope they hold for what comes next.

Their stories were a powerful reminder of why collaboration matters — bringing together partners across the CARE Network to strengthen rehabilitation and reintegration, and create more opportunities for individuals and families to move forward together.

"For my son, I hope that it can be a bridge to others who are in the same situation." 🫶🏻

Hear all about "Mama Bear", a book produced by SPS's Psychological Correctional Rehabilitation Division that aims to help incarcerated mothers reconcile strained relationships with their children.💪🏻

Author and Senior Correctional Rehabilitation Specialist Chang Xin En shares about how the book came to be as she worked alongside inmate artists, who illustrated the book! 🎨🖌️

A mother's love finds a way. 🐻

'Where is Mama Bear?' is a children's book born from a powerful question — how do incarcerated mothers have the tough conversations with their children? 🤔💭

Meet author Chang Xin En, a Senior Correctional Rehabilitation Specialist who set out to create something gentle, yet meaningful. A story of curiosity and courage, where Baby Bear and Mama Bear navigate life's hardest moments together.🫶🏻

What's more, the book’s illustrations were produced by women inmates undergoing Institution A4’s Arts Behind Bars Programme. For Xin En, watching them grow through the experience was as rewarding as creating the book itself.💪🏻
