OUR RECRUITS
GURKHAS
Gurkhas come from the mountain country of Nepal, which is situated between China and India. Some of the highest mountains in the world lie along its northern border.
With a history of service with the British, Indian or Nepalese Armies and the Singapore Police, these highly adaptable people are now resident in Nepal, Hong Kong and other countries. Many of them are working outside Nepal.
The Gurkha is famed for high standards of personal discipline, reliability, loyalty, physical endurance and mental robustness.
