There's no absolute right or wrong to this issue. In the shoes
of Melvyn, it's his dream to purpuse a goal or interest in his life
to play music, which he has the tremedous talents for development
at the time when he was called up for his NS. If he were to give up
that dream of his and continue to serve the nation, he may not
become wat he is now.
On the other hand, looking at hoslistic view, our country is bigger
role to us to perform; every guy or man to be have to serve NS once
in a life time at least, no doubt, it was wrong for him to avoide
his duties for Singapore, but let's give a few cents worth for his
courage to face his charge, other than we know one of his reason
for his return is to see his old aged parents.
As we know Singapore has been importing many foreign talents, i do
feel proud when we, as Singapoeans have developed our own local
talents that is well known abroad.
