Dear Sir/Mdm,
I would like to unsubscribe and stop receiving Pioneer magazine in my mailbox as I prefer reading the online version for environmental reasons.
Thank you and hope to hear from you soon.
Best Regards,
XXXXXXXX
I cancelled mine once I ORDed years ago.
Frankly, the magazine is a waste of paper and money. Help spread the word along to save the Earth as I believe most people will just chuck their Pioneer magazine straight into the waste paper bin without even tearing open the plastic wrapper.
Subscription is forced for all NSF at 40 cents per issue (if not I would have cancelled it immediately after getting my first issue). It’s cheap, but it’s still money. Not cancelling it will be wasteful as I am not interested in reading news about SAF. Moreover, there’s the online version (slightly different) which is better for the environment if you really want to read.
The Singapore government is moving towards an advanced e-government model, encouraging Singaporeans to do more government transactions and queries online. Why is the SAF always a few steps behind?
At the very least, the cost of the magazine should be absorbed by SAF, given that NS and reservist are national obligations for Singapore males who are rendering a service for the nation.

fantastic !
i just went to the website to cancel mine.
Thanks.
=)
Glad to be of help. 🙂 Pass it on.
I’m waiting for Ms Hahaha to post her usual inane comment here.
I tried to cancel mine long time ago. Not successful. Finally another chance at it! Did not even read your whole posting as I click on the link that you have given at ONCE! THANKS!
Glad to help. 🙂 Please help save the Earth by passing it on.
Actually, I am surprised by the high hits this post is getting. Looks like there really is a lot of people out there who want to cancel their Pioneer magazine, but did not know how.
What a waste of the Earth’s resources!
I only realise that the mag is NOT free recently and I am having my last ICT next year…
Darn…
Actually as a Full Time Slave (NSF) you are able to opt out also – go to your S1 branch.
I did that, only to find that I was resubscribed upon transitioning to Part Time Slavery (ORD).
Grr.
I think it’s too late. Now that everybody is sending in requests to cancel their subscriptions, I’m afraid that they will do something such that NONE of us can cancel anything.
A sudden fall in a few hundred or even a few thousand subscriptions will look very bad on their record. They will not allow it to happen.
I will bet my next Pioneer magazine automatic deduction on that 🙂
lol 2 months into the army…… AND I’M DOIN IT NOW. thanks,.
Alvin
Please get your facts right. It’s 40 cents, not 80 cents. And not everyone likes to read their magazines online. And the online version is different from the print version – but you wouldn’t know that since you cancelled your subscription years ago.
Hi anon,
Thanks for pointing out. Corrected. 🙂
they should just make it opt-in to begin with zzz
Thanks for this link man!
I emailed to the email addresses stated on the the piece of paper that comes with the magazine to cancel. And for both magazines – Pioneer and Army News.
Waste of paper I agree. I chuck them into the bins upon receipt, not even opening the plastic covers.
Good luck with your cancellations.
My mother has taken all those issues over the past 5 years and made ‘trays’ for fishbones, peanut shells and stuff-you-puke-away-when-you’re-eating. I think we’ll gonna find some alternative. LOL.
Thanks! I sent them your template! No more pesky army newsletters!
I think they did something to the mag recently. Looks a bit flashier and more interesting. I used to junk it together with other mags liek NTUlink & SAFRA newsletters but now, it has joined the ranks of my toilet reading materials.
oh look at what they replied:
Dear Mr Chong,
Thank you for your mail.
Our record shows that you are an inservice personnel. Please approach your unit’s chief clerk or manpower officer who will be able to assist you in this matter. This is because we do not have the level of access to your personal data. We can only terminate subscribers’ subscription when their status has been reflected as NSman.
Regards.

exactly 10 mths to ORD. FML.
i tried unsubscribing last month, but still got the magazine this month, and didn’t have any acknowledgement.
No one gives a fuck to SAF updates, who really fucking cares??
Everytime I receive it, I transfer it straight to the dustbin.
Can anyone confirm if this works? Has anyone stopped receiving this pc of crap?
It works! You will received an email from Mdm Chew Keng Sun confirming your termination. LOL
Damn I should have done this years back!
i never got any replies despite doing this 3 times.
i’ve also sent an email provided by the magazine itself, but haven’t got any confirmation/reply.
The email address she replied me with is: [email protected]
Perhaps you can send direct. Below is the reply i got.
