NS is only a waste of time if u dont make good use of it. Take up some parttime courses to enrich yourself.

Basically, just treat it as a payment back to the government for all the discount (subsidize) they have given u for your education........and after u ORD, u dont own them a thing at all....

For those guys who have yet to NS ....
May god has mercy on your soul.

chromeheart SG

Well, let's make a challenge for ourselves here. If you are so adamant about getting NS liability out of your life, then just make a list of all the cons of NS.

I'll take up the challenge of answering all your disagreements.

If you dare speak.

Cheers.

"Basically, just treat it as a payment back to the government for all the discount (subsidize) they have given u for your education."

hmm, so can u tell me where the government got all the education subsidy from???

millennium SG

Do we have a choice? We live in this part of the world? There must always be someone to defend our homeland which Singaporean spent so much of time and effort to built.

I don't yhink the government is going to change the service length to 3 years, all of that being rumours. S*F is mostly waste of time for me, just imagine me as a combat trained medic is being forced to do clerical work just because there is not enough clerks and excessive medics. And they pay use a miserable sum of money and make us work until sometimes late at night. Worse thing is that some of the officers who earn lots of money per month push all the job to his clerks who earns 300+ per month. Life is so unfair!!!!!!

to mother goose:

i can tell u very sure that the govern get all those subsidy from the taxes of SGans, so i dun think that we owe the govern anything since we r to be employed n pay taxes after ns.

ok, since u said we dun owe the govern anything after serving ns, but wat about the gal, how r they going to payback since they dun have to serve ns???

to tazzi:

i really pity how u were treated in ns. err just asking u whether u r in PES E cos i think only PES E pple can be medics.

chromeheart SG

Well, Adrian,

I do not feel the need to challenge your question of where the Government gets the so-called subsidies from as it is quite obvious.

You might have the feeling that you have paid enough taxes to pay back the Government.

But that does that mean that we can skip the 2 years of NS training to Protect Our Own Country??

We have more than 250,000 operationally ready NS service/reservist men to protect our country as current. If our Government would have your mindset, it would mean that we will be left with less than 10,000 TRAINED military personnel to defend our own country.

So do you think that Your meagre sum of Taxes paid can protect Singapore??

I think not.

Cheers

Now Adrian,

Pardon me but your statement have sounded rather immature and contradicting.

You were saying that the gals pay taxes but do not have to do NS. So in a way you are implying that you pay taxes, but you still have to do NS.

So what would you say if the gals were exempted from paying taxes??

We have to understand that in this society, individuals of both sexes part a different role.

The men defend with their strength,
while the women keep our hopes of the next generation alive (ie: giving birth, taking care of the family.)

Well if you want to pay your taxes and not do NS, then perhaps you might want to switch places with a women and see how things work out.

Cheers

Theres no choice as NS is compulsory in S’pore.And it isnt acceptable that we have to serve for 3 years.

chromeheart SG

Yes.

Three years is indeed a long time.
We can't hide from NS but perhaps we can all think of something more lucrative.

NS is meant more for poor folk. For rich men or big shots sons, there are actually many ways to escape. I am now serving my NS in Mindef, seen and heard many cases already.

To Adrain:

For your information, I am a combat medic, meaning that only combat fit personnel are eligible for the course. And mind you that I am a Pes A soldier.

Max_rian SG

Agreed wif millenium tt. NS r 4 poor pple like me. Rich kids(documents chopped wif "WH" meaning white horse) can always "siam" themselves from tough training. But at times, it is not true.

AngelDark SG

hahahahahahahah

u say that guys goto ns to protect the country and girls do the motherin' stuff.

did u noe that not many women like to haf children.......they wanna work first..........................
so how r u to reply to that?

adrian xtc SG

to chromeheart:

2 years of ns??? that should be 2.5 years, others even round off to 3 years.

no, i'm not saying whether our taxes could defend SG or not. that's another story.

"So what would you say if the gals were exempted from paying taxes??"

would the govern be so kind to do that??? if assuming they do that, hmm u will noe wat's will be the effects.

to millennium:

"For rich men or big shots sons, there are actually many ways to escape."

IS IT TRUE??? tell us more then.

to tazzi:

oh, sorry to misunderstood wat u said, i also pes A too.

to max_rian:

"siam themselves from tough training."

tell us more.

to AngelDark:

yes, nowadays womem dun even want to get married n start a family, all they think of is work. so chromeheart, explain this.

chromeheart SG

To Angel Dark,

Yes, the femlae species would want to work first.

Well isn't it the case whereby some males would rather 'siam' NS???? Long before, the males used to study and study and made use of the Institution's deferring papers to extend their studying period, so that they do their NS later.

Well isn't it fair that the ladies want to work first and do the 'rest of the job' later???

Do you expect the ladies to be trained and go to War then???

Wel, sometimes I do hope the questions posed here are constructive enough for me to answer.

Cheers

Well to Max_rian:
There are also time where rich men or big shot sons do go for tough training in NS, these are mainly those who are very fit guys. For those rich men or big shot sons who are weak, most do only simple jobs in base. Thats is what I saw since I was posted to Mindef for the past 1 year or more.
