(human) SG Some who can contribute to the nation by serving military, some don’t wish to serve military but wish to contribute in other ways but they are drafted into forces by force. 40 years of national service or national slavery?
hloc SG National Service is just that...... service to the National as the national see fits. How is it 'fair' if each person could chose how and when he/she serve Since the birth rate in S'pore is low..... how about I chose to serve by F****** around more.... Would you consider that as 'National Service' If it was 'national slavery' as you have put it..... then it won't be 2 1/2 year, but 20 years to live. Like it or not, National Service is part of being a S'porean. Not Happy Go blame your parent for giving birth to you here..... or not move to another country sooner.

will4 SG Some of the servicemen got one I knew awol to other country n his father n mother also never say anything.
reyes SG think positively of NS. small country like us need NS to survive. to find a reason, just look at the country around us.
sg mata SG Like it or not, we must serve our NS…...If let ppl anihow choose how they wanna serve the country, den who gonna do all the xiong things???
(human) SG Yes like it a not one has to serve, i believe there are more than 2 views those who feel neccessary will be regarded as service, those who feel compelled and reluctance will see it as slavery. Can anyone deny such existence? Slave in dictionary means a person who is legally owned by someone else and has to work for them. Are we not legally owned and has to work for them during the period of 2 or 2 1/2 years?
NYPD^blue SG i think occifers will think it's national service, while us enlisted men will think it's national slavery
