urlaopei SG

u say is important...

then i say not important also...

u post like no post....

leexiancikevin SG

NS is good for people like u.. go in and when u come out hopefully be a better person with a better attitude towards life and society..

tiggersgd SG

so why do you post back a reply? now it seems that you're the one that is "post like not posting" syndrome.

btw, speak better english or should i say type better english next time. its the speakers' corner that you're posting this. anyone is allowed to voice up. Cool

tiggersgd SG

and to add to my comments, its not only about m'sia that will threaten s'pore but about the country's national security. if you will think back to WW2 when s'pore was not even thought to be in the war zone...you know the rest of the story.

you'll need to understand why ns is important and vital to our survival...especially nowadays.

BrUtUs SG

easy to say use nuke but u tink when ppl noe u got nuke they will jz sit there n do nothing? they would prob come steal the nuke in broad daylight since theres nobody doing defending...

theres many arguments, but ns is important to the country esp cos when theres no military defence, nobody would wanna come invest here...

tiggersgd SG

not only economics, you’ll get kicked around even more so. if not for our military technology and might, most likely we’ll be occupied by now.

urlaopei SG

the pro is u all like to do ns but not me....

the law say u must do else u go jail...

to me the simplest wish in my life is to do something i love but not something i hates

MAYBE the biggest challenge in all ur life is to follow the law, abiding it carefully in ur life thus claiming to be a good citizen...

is this what u gonna live ur life for or simply live so cause u have no choice...

so go ns to be a better person?

i dun know...

the way this society shaped its future generations mean u all say going ns to do ur bit means u are protecting ur nation...

really if u have ur choice to choose ns or not....

u will reply me yes i will...

so u dun understand actually it is not u who shaped urself but this society...

leilan84 SG

if we have a army, the chances that we'll be attack is definately
smaller than of having none...
i don't like the current ruling party, but i'll fight if there's a war!!!
coz this is my country where all my friends and family are!!!!
defend those that you really cares about!!!!

urlaopei SG

for miltary might...

this world is unfair...

the word pau lau pa which singapore kno it means u dun go kaopei US means u safe...

actually the whole world kno this...

u kno...

BrUtUs SG

many recruits had the same mentality as u but u will eventually understand y ns is important when u r in there... dun wori ns is not tat bad....

urlaopei SG

u still dun understand is not about ns….

kok-eh SG

i think singapore's concept of national defence hinges on 'deterrence', which is there's no war.

NS does make you a changed person, mostly for the good. dunno why urlaopei is so resentful about serving the nation.. besides the money's pretty good now Laughing

tiggersgd SG

i think you've gotten yourself all mixed up. you don't like it then tell it to the govt. you have a choice of not serving and go to jail and of course shaping yourself and not the society shaping you.

when you say you don't like ns, does that mean you've already served/done your full-time? if not, its too early to say that. some plus i've had is that some of my better friends are from the same unit as i am.

your thinking of national security changes and most importantly your attitude changes...hopefully for the better.

if you're to compare the "yes-sir" era and now, then you're more fortunate. anyway, i hate to think that i'm protecting some useless bum who does not even want to relate himself/herself to this country when in the first place they're occupying space here. i can't imagine when war hits home and they just run or don't even know how to handle a rifle.

stay away from s'pore by all means if you're not convinced of the ns. it'll be alot more tolerant that way.

jUzNoBoDy SG

ya going ns soon ah? Mr. Green

tiggersgd SG

then state your point more clearly. the govt? or what? Rolling Eyes

piopoz SG

i see someone here whining, blaming the law, blaming the society, blaming the world for his "misfortune"...
There is a choice - NS or jail.
And to choose NS, you'll have further choices - choose to learn from it or to hate it till the last minute.
The difference between humans and animals is that humans are able to choose their response to the situation they are in while animals act by instinct. Your mindset may be conditioned by the social influences, but being human, you can change your mindset. Just a matter of whether you want it or not.
