Could anybody shed light on what these acronyms stand for?

The pic says M-203 but shows SAR-21.

I'm wondering if there is such a combi and if the weapon is actually a CIS 40.

ditzy SG

It is a sar-21 with an m-203 launcher, the launchers are short things, prolly 1/3 length of your arm, but I dunno how long your arm is.

I know PRC is the signal set, and nvg is the night vision goggles, The rest are just big, heavy, and a burden to carry.

RCS - for urban ops one. iirc it is called round corner system/screen. where by you can point yout rifle at the corner blind spot without getting yourself exposed.

Lokey SG

LOL. I think it look very nice. But I dont want to be the 1 of 7 holding them. Cose I know it is freaky heavy. And is not fun carrying them. Though, I am CS fan. LOL.

The blogger has finally revealed the meanings behind the acronyms.

ACMS: Advanced Combat Man System. The ACMS is the catch-all term for a range of capability-enhancing projects for Singapore Army infantry warfighters. The Infantry Capability Development Approach calls for improvements under a roadmap driven by the 4 "S" - Shoot, Sense, Shield and Sustain.

Go see the discussion on the blog, they're debating whether 7 men is enough, but some fool said 4 men is still combat effective.
