Colonel Benedict's benediction was pronounced upon Quitter
Melvyn; he was painfully requested to furnish an ang pow of $5000
to alleviate public sentiments. Jail or fine? Which is fine? What
kind of firm action should MINDEF take against those who do not
fulfil their duty? Although Melvyn chose not to procreate in
Singapore, firm action can still be taken.
Well, it is heartening to know that MINDEF will review those
firm actions amidst public firm reactions. These perennial
reviews are probably a product of Singapores understanding of
human nature: the pointing finger of the public will go limp in a
few months, when the focus is turned to other arousing activities.
That will be the time when Mindef will give a full response on the
matter, but of course, when the review is completed and when
Quitter Melvyn has staged enough concerts to acquire a $5000
rebate. The Enlistment Act will, in the mean time, allow fortunate
sods to pay their way out of NS liabilities (in which case we have
to address their genealogies). At the same time, this Act will
put a few lower class citizens behind bars as a warning to those
who are planning NS evasion.
If you must procreate in Singapore, and the fetus happens to have
an Y chromosome, parturition must be performed in other countries.
This is to allow the Enlistment Act to institute firm actions.
In the meantime, as law-abiding citizens of Singapore, let us stand
up for Singapore.
